I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 996

Bonnie raised her delicate eyebrows gently.

“What term will it be?”

Ivor stared at her profoundly. He remained quiet for a moment before saying, “I want to study the chip for a while after you guys retrieve it.”

Her frown deepened in response. Before she could say anything, she heard Collin speak.

“Why should we let you study it? Falcon single-handedly caused you the loss of your money. We had no part in it. The agreement is meant to keep both the Nidhoggs and the Dark Nights safe from any foul play. It isn’t an opportunity for you to bargain with us.”

In fact, he spoke her mind.

She raised her eyebrows and glanced at Ivor, waiting for him to respond.

‘I have to admit that I’m taking advantage of the situation. However, we needed one of the chip’s functionalities to develop another project.

‘This is such a wonderful opportunity, too. I’m not going to let it pass me by. Furthermore, I’m just borrowing the chip for a little. It’s not going to cause much damage to them, either.’

“Judging by your response, I think you’re not agreeing to my term. If that’s the case, we’ll be competing with each other to see who manages to retrieve both the chip and the money. Simply said, finders keepers.”

Collin had a gut feeling that Ivor was forcing them to agree to his terms. So, his face grew grim. He was about to say something, but he saw Bonnie shaking her head at him.

Realizing that she didn’t want him to say anything further, he stepped down and stopped himself.

Then, she looked at Ivor again with inquisitive eyes.

“I don’t think you’ll benefit from wearing out your entire organization from the competition. Are you sure you want to do this?”

He leaned back on the couch calmly and spoke in a nonchalant tone. “The ball is in your court. I’m not the one who’s doing this. You forced my hand.”

She was so mad that she almost laughed.

‘He has got to be the only one who could’ve demonstrated shamelessness in such a refreshing way. With that said, I have to think about if I really want to agree to his terms.’

“Ahem!”

She heard him and stopped grinning. Then, she looked at him. “Do you agree with what I said earlier? I’ll ask my men to draft the agreement if you have nothing to add.”

The peculiar feeling he had had a second ago disappeared when he noticed her looking at him again.

“Two weeks, it is. I’m fine with that.”

Collin couldn’t help but grumble, “Figures. We’ve agreed to lend the chip to you so you can study it. Why wouldn’t you agree to the two-week term? You would’ve been taking a huge advantage of you if you did!”

Floyd heard what he said and couldn’t help but retort, “Who are you accusing of taking a huge advantage? Mind your tongue!”

Not willing to back down, Collin met his gaze and asked, “What’s the matter? Did I say anything wrong?”

“Why, you…”
