The girl’s face remained expressionless, revealing no joy or anger.
The three elders of the McLeod family were all influential figures in the military. They were hanging their heads before a young lady named Bonnie. The scene shocked everyone present who was unaware of the truth.
Sydney and the others whispered to each other.
“Why does this feel so strange?”
“I feel the same way.”
Bonnie gave them the impression that she was in a position of authority.
However, they were well aware of Bonnie’s background. She was just a girl who came from the countryside. Her only notable accomplishment was getting this year’s top grades on the college entrance exam. But such an accomplishment should mean nothing to the three elders of the McLeod family!
Bonnie sat down and spoke, her gaze unfocused. “You don’t need to blame yourselves. This has nothing to do with you. The one at fault is Sienna.”
“But that’s also because of our lack of ” Leo abruptly stopped speaking when he noticed Bonnie’s eyes.
“Y-Your eyes. Were they damaged by that fool?!”
Bonnie didn’t speak, which was equivalent to confirmation.
“Ahh!” Leo roared before turning around and slapping Sienna fiercely.
Sienna fell to the ground after being hit. Her face was swelling visibly.
“You despicable girl! You scum!” Leo yelled as he kicked Sienna.
If Sienna weren’t his granddaughter, he would have beaten her to death.
Nobody in the McLeod family could make up for Bonnie’s loss of vision, not even with their own lives.
“Help! Please stop hitting me! Grandpa! I know I was wrong. I’ll apologize to her right now! Grandpa-“
No matter how Sienna begged for mercy, Leo didn’t stop.
Steve wanted to protect her, but Roy and Theo seemed determined to punish Sienna.
He had never seen his father and uncles like this before. If he guessed correctly, Bonnie’s identity was not as simple as it seemed. “Enough,” Bonnie said, and Leo’s actions immediately stopped.
“I’ll make her apologize to you right away.”
“An apology is necessary, but not to me.”
Bonnie’s words puzzled Leo. “Then to whom?”
“Where are those troops she brought with her?” Bonnie asked.
Leo thought Bonnie wanted to discipline them together. “I’ve had them all dismissed and detained.”
“Bring them here.”
“Okay.”
Before long, all those who had attacked Bonnie under Sienna’s command were brought in.
Bonnie’s expression was severe. “As
a member of the prestigious military family, Sienna privately mobilized military personnel to deal with
ordinary civilians. She even
threatened them with variou”
punitive measures to force them into action.
“So Sienna doesn’t need to
to me. Instead, she
apologize to them. Each of them
should receive a hundred apologies.”
After hearing this, those
subordinates were moved to tears,
feeling deeply remorseful and
repentant. They had laid hands on
such a righteous person! They felt genuinely despicable.
Leo admired Bonnie from the bottom of his heart. Even though she was the victim, she still thought of others and showed empathy.
“Start apologizing,” Bonnie said to Sienna.
