Chapter 463Bonnie said, “Your opinion of me is too high. Still, I don’t intend to participate in the competition.”
‘Ivor is still suspicious of me, and I can’t let it continue. I must neutralize his suspicions completely.’
“Why not? Don’t you want to work at Bonita Research Institute?”
“Everyone has preferences. Also, Pyralis University has recruited exceptionally talented students
from around the globe. The campus is full of extraordinary people. Why are you so confident I’ll win
the competition if I participate?”
“I just know you will,” Ivor said confidently, “All right, let’s drop it. Is there anything else you want to
eat? I’ll get it for you.”
He showed the perfect example of quitting while he was ahead. After all, Bonnie would probably
stop talking to him if he kept prying.

Bonnie sighed in relief as she watched him leave to get her more food. She knew he was so smart
that he would realize she was Ms. Bonita if she slipped up even once.
…
Two days had passed, and the Scientific Research Competition was about to begin. All newspapers
and media focused on Pyralis University. Still in the hospital, Russell grinned from ear to ear as he
watched the television.
“Hahaha! I was right to insist on Bonnie taking over my position! She’s the perfect successor. Now
that our competition has become a hot topic throughout Arvandor, the president of Drungend
University is probably crying. Our enrolment rate next year will set a new record! I’m excited just
thinking about it!”Suddenly, the door opened, and Elliana, the president of the Pyralian Pianists Association, entered.
“You’re an old man, Russell. Stop getting so excited. The doctor said you can’t afford to get worked
up. You can drop dead at any second if you keep it up.”
“You’re just jealous of me, honey. Bonnie’s willing to take over my position instead of yours,” he
boasted triumphantly.
She grunted in response. “Why would I be jealous? You shouldn’t be so proud of yourself when you
deceived her. You have no idea how ashamed of you I am.”

“Drop the act. If you could pretend to be sick, you would’ve done the same thing and tricked Bonnie
into taking over your association.”
“That’s a load of crap!” She stomped. “I came because I cared about you and wanted to see how
you were doing, but you seem perfectly fine. It seems you’ll live long and plague the world!”
“Care about me? Save it for someone who buys your crap. The way I see it, you’re just here to
make fun of me.”
“You’re becoming more unreasonable as the days pass! I just can’t talk to you anymore!” Elliana left
the ward, supporting herself with the cane. Then, she dwelled on what her husband said.
‘Perhaps I can also pretend to be sick to get Bonnie to take over my mantle. The old coot had just
used this trick. I don’t think it’ll work if I use it again. It looks like I’ll have to ask Coleman to seduce
Bonnie.’

novelbinBack in Pyralis University, Bonnie was treading the cobblestone path when she overheard some
conversations.“I can’t believe you managed to return here, Trina.”
‘Trina?’ Bonnie did not bother turning around when she heard that name.
“Yeah, neither could I.”
