From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent ( Anthea ) novel Chapter 451

Chapter 451 

Bonnie glanced at Jim with a hint of dissatisfaction. She sighed and told Ivor, “You can check it out if you don’t believe him. Otherwise, you’ll be so worried that you’ll get jealous of him for no reason.” 

She put it that way to shift the focus and topic. 

“Why wouldn’t I trust you? Also, I don’t get jealous for no reason.” With that, Ivor stopped questioning Jim. 

The latter leaned closer to Bonnie and asked, “I can’t stay at my relative’s place. There aren’t any hotels nearby, either. Can I spend the night at your parents‘ place?” 

Bonnie knew he would ask that. Still, she could not reject him now. Given the current circumstances, he would sleep at the gate if she did. She said, “Sure, but I don’t have an extra room.” 

Suddenly, Ivor said, “It’ll be okay, Bonnie. Since you two are close friends, he can have my room.” 

Bonnie was stunned. 

‘Ivor will never let any guy near me, even if he knows Jim and I will never be a thing.” 

“Then, where will you sleep?” 

“In your room,” Ivor answered. 

Benedict, Gerald, and Welma were dumbfounded when Bonnie took Jim to their place. 

“B–Bonnie, is that Master Jim?” Welma had seen him on television before and had trouble containing her excitement. 

“Uh, you’re right.” Bonnie’s brow twitched. 

“H–How do you know him? You never told me about it. I can’t believe you know someone as famous as him! What kind of luck do you possess to have made friends with someone like Master Jim?” 

“Uh…” Bonnie had no idea how to respond to her mother. 

Although Ivor had a much more boastful standing than Jim, things were different here. The former was the most successful businessman and rarely showed his face. As far as the less–informed country folks 

were concerned, Ivor was nothing more than an extremely wealthy man. 

On the other hand, Jim came from a humble background and garnered a reputation and respect by relying on his fighting skills. Moreover, he was also the bodyguard of the most important person in the scientific 

research world. 

Although Jim did not have Ivor’s wealth, country folk respected the former more because he was also 

significant to the nation. 

Gerald lit a cigarette for Jim and ordered, “Ben, get a chicken from the coop and tell your aunts to invite 

as many relatives as possible. We’ll host a grand celebration since Master Jim is here.”
