I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1071

Sydney bit her lip, worried she would lose control and slap Angela. The former was overwhelmed with rage and wanted to retort but failed.

‘Angela’s right. My pride is still intact, thanks to Bonnie. Although we married into the same family, I told Angela that Bonnie and I have a sour relationship. I did it to dig at Angela, but she turned it against me.’

Angela realized she had mocked Sydney into being speechless. The former felt she had defended her pride and said triumphantly, “You’ll always be a loser who lives in my shadow, Sydney. You will never be successful, even—”

Before she could finish insulting Sydney, Bonnie approached and interjected, “You do have a higher status than my aunt. I’ll also admit the Hardings are prestigious in their city. However, don’t think you can take the Knights’ name in vain.

“Don’t overdo it, or you might burn bridges. I hope you take my advice and learn when to quit.” Bonnie glared at Angela while speaking, sending chills down the latter’s spine.

Angela instinctively stepped back before returning to her senses and staring at Bonnie.

‘I’ve dealt with plenty of young ladies like her, but none were this imposing. Who on earth is this girl?’

At that moment, she saw Bonnie approaching Sydney with the sandalwood box and handing it to the latter. “Here, I want you to have this, Sydney.”

The box felt heavy to Sydney, but it was not the weight of the box or the necklace. Instead, she could feel Bonnie’s sincerity in it. Sydney was dumbfounded. After all, she had been nothing but nasty to Bonnie.

“Wh-why are you giving this to me, Bonnie?”

Bonnie responded, “Do you remember asking why I bid on so many things earlier? I bought them as gifts for my friends and family for New Year's.”

Then, she glanced at the box she handed to Sydney and added, “Since you’re my in-law, I’m giving you this diamond necklace as a New Year’s gift.”
