I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1070

‘A hundred and thirty-eight million dollars?!’

Angela’s eyes widened in shock as she shot up from her chair. “Are you out of your mind?!”

She was confident Bonnie could not afford to spend much more and was shocked that the latter would raise the bid so drastically.

Even Sydney, sitting beside Bonnie, thought the latter was insane. Since Angela had outdone Sydney for many years, Sydney could not help but feel exhilarated to see her rival so astounded.

‘Angela has always had her way and thought she could do and say anything. Now that Bonnie has taken her down a peg, let's see her do that! It’s finally Angela’s turn to know what it feels like to be inferior!’

The more Sydney thought about it, the more excited she felt. She lifted her chin and looked at Angela triumphantly.

“You can’t bid on the diamond necklace, Angela. You shouldn’t have said Bonnie’s insane. Also, didn’t you tell me your husband secured a big project? So, why’d you raise the bid by a mere million dollars?

“You should learn from Bonnie. She was unfazed when she made her bid. It looks like you’ll have to pressure your husband to make more money, or you’ll never be able to outbid my niece-in-law.”

Although Sydney was slightly heartbroken that Bonnie had to bid so much on the necklace, the former felt much better when Bonnie let Angela have it. After all, Sydney had lived under Angela’s shadow for several decades. Since Bonnie had humbled Angela, Sydney felt like she was walking on cloud nine.

Sydney leisurely rose from her chair and told Angela, “I thought you were tough, but that amount of money was all it took to stump you. It looks like you’re nothing special, after all.”

Angela sneered. “It doesn’t matter whether or not I won the bid since you didn’t get the necklace either. What are you boasting about? You’re still living in my shadow.”

The disdain in her eyes grew as she continued, “You’re aware you didn’t beat me, right? You merely clung to someone much more capable than you. You can’t even compete with your niece-in-law in this auction.

“You relied on her to defend your pride. I would’ve cried if I were you. I couldn’t boast about it like you’re doing now.” There’s no way she’ll give you the necklace she spent so much on. What makes you think you can talk down to me?”
