Bonnie glared daggers at Sydney. “You think I’m nasty? Did I do something to offend you or make your life miserable?”
Sydney was furious but did not know what to say.
‘It’s true that Bonnie has never done anything to make my life miserable. However, she turned my son against me and my husband. That said, I can’t mention that in front of my father-in-law. I can only bear with her and hold it in.’
Meanwhile, the coldness in Bonnie’s eyes intensified. “Go ahead, Sydney. Why aren’t you saying anything?”
There was one more reason Sydney did not want to take Bonnie with her. The former feared she would not be able to handle the young lady. Sydney did not have what it took to clean up after Bonnie if she made a mess at the party.

Sigmund frowned and looked at Sydney in disapproval. He said, “You and Bonnie have married into my family. That makes you two family. Don’t you think you’re crossing the line by defying me, Sydney?”
Her brows furrowed as she said, “I’m sorry, Dad, but I must insist. You know Bonnie and I have bad blood. Why are you making me take her to the party? Aren’t you worried we might fight?”
“We’re family. Why would you hold any grudges against her?” Sigmund frowned solemnly.
He was about to continue, but Bonnie said, “It’s okay, Grandpa. If she doesn’t want to take me, I’ll drive myself there.”
Bonnie knew what Sigmund was trying to do, and she had no intention of making things difficult for him. Either way, she was bored.

Sigmund was surprised. “Wh-what did you say? You’re willing to go there by yourself?”
Given the situation and the duo’s characters, he thought Bonnie would skip the party altogether. He never thought she would drive herself there.
Bonnie said smilingly, “There’s nothing wrong with that, right, Grandpa? I can take care of myself, afterall. Are you worried about me going there alone?”
“N-Not really, but…” Sigmund glanced at Sydney, saying, “Since Bonnie said she’s willing to drive herself, you won’t have to take her along. That said, she rarely goes to such parties. Look after her while you’re there, and don’t let anyone pick on her.” Contentt belongs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
The last part of his sentence made Sydney speechless. She grumbled under her breath, “She’s ruthless when arguing. What makes you think anyone can pick on her?”
‘Still, I might make Dad upset if I reject him again.”
Ultimately, Sydney could only agree. She said through gritted teeth, “I understand, Dad. Don’t worry about it. I’ll look after her the best I can!” Bonnie glanced sidelong at her and waved. “I’ll manage. I don’t need you to look out for me. On the contrary, you might need my help instead, right?”
Sydney bolted from her seat and glared at Bonnie. “If you can manage, I can, too! Stay away from me at the party. Otherwise, you’ll just get in my way.”
Immediately after, she turned and left.
