I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 792

Tom saw Shane coming over and flashed him a smile.

“You’re here, Mr. Shane. I’ve done everything according to your orders. Are you satisfied with how it turned out?”

“Nicely done.” Shane gave Tom an approving look before standing at the tunnel entrance and peering inside.

“How long have they been in there?”

Tom counted the time and responded, “They’ve been in there for about half an hour. They’re probably halfway in the tunnel by now. It’s impossible for them to escape.”

His eyes glinted with menace as he heard what Tom said.

“Heh. Ivor Knight went overseas for an inspection and was tragically killed when a tunnel collapsed. His fiancé died along with him.

“This will become the media’s headline for their articles. Once something happens to Ivor, the entire Knight family will be thrown into disarray. The Knight Group’s stock price will surely plummet too.

“That’s when I’ll poach all of their collaborators. I’ll become the richest man in Pyralis in no time!”

‘I just wanted to teach Ivor and Bonnie a lesson. I wasn’t out to take their lives. With how things are going, though, I might as well make use of the situation and up my game.

‘More to the point, I have to kill Ivor and destroy the Knight Group if I want to become the wealthiest man in Pyralis!’

Tom congratulated him immediately.

“Congratulations, Mr. Shane. Your wish is about to come true soon enough. When the fateful day comes, I hope you remember to share some of your wealth with me as well."

“Consider it done, Tom.” Shane smiled. Reaching out, he patted him on the shoulder. “You’re the main reason I’m able to pull this off. I wouldn’t forget about you if I had something suitable for you later."

Tom knew that Shane was a generous man. So, he was thrilled to hear what the latter said.

“The thing is, we didn’t have any bad blood with him. We were even having a good time with him, too. So, why would he do something like this?”

“He might’ve done it in exchange for a better deal,” Jim said as he found a crowbar.

Walking over to the door, he tried hard to pry the door open.

“A better deal?” Floyd frowned and stood where he was, pondering on it. “I guess that makes sense. That begs a question, though. Who could’ve offered him a better deal than the one Mr. Ivor did?”

“That’s hard to say.” Jim saw another crowbar out of the corner of his eyes. Picking it up, he tossed it at Floyd’s feet.

“Forget about all that for now. We have to get out of here as soon as we can and check on Bonnie and Ivor. I suspect they sent us away because they’re going to do something to both of them.

“It would’ve been fine if they were after money. On the other hand, if they’re after their lives, then…”
