“What should we do now, Mr. Ivor?” Floyd suggested, seemingly struck by an idea, “Should we send someone to negotiate with Finley and persuade him to come over?”
“This approach is feasible,” said Ivor, his expression darkening.
“However, since Gemedia Group found Finley before us, they must have hidden her very securely. It won’t be easy to locate her.”
“In that case, I’ll send someone to investigate which designers have recently been in close contact with Gemedia Group. Once we have any news about Finley, I’ll immediately send someone to negotiate.” “Alright, you handle the arrangements first and then contact other outstanding designers as a backup plan.”
“Okay, Mr. Ivor.”
In the afternoon, Bonnie had just returned from the research institute and ran into Halle and Rowena at the villa gate.
The three exchanged glances, and Bonnie smirked slightly.
“Why are you here?” Bonnie asked.
Halle straightened her chest and said arrogantly, “This is my cousin’s house. I can come whenever I want. Do you think just because you used some shady means to be with my cousin, you can be the lady of the house?”
Bonnie retorted, “I am the lady of the house here. What’s wrong with that?”
“You and my cousin haven’t even gotten married yet, and you dare call yourself the lady of the house? Have you no shame—”
Halle’s words were cut short as she saw Bonnie calmly approaching with her hands in her pockets.
She instantly stepped back and hid behind Rowena.
“W-What do you want to do?”
Seeing this, Bonnie let out a light chuckle. “Coward.”
Halle glared at her resentfully. “Who are you calling a coward, you—”
Bonnie cut her off before she could say anything more. “Say one more word, and I’ll throw you onto the street right now.” Halle was instantly intimidated by Bonnie and choked. She might have taken it as a joke if someone else had said this. But Bonnie had the power to do it.
So Halle could only talk a big game. When it came to real confrontation, she dared not, because she was simply no match for Bonnie. Rowena calmly stood before Halle, smiling gently at Bonnie.
“Ms. Bonnie, sorry to disturb you. Could you please let Halle and me in? I have something to discuss with Ivor.”
“Of course, I won’t stop you since you really have something to do.” Bonnie smiled insincerely.
Anyway, they couldn’t cause any trouble in front of her. Bonnie wanted to let them in and see what they were up to.
“Thank you, Ms. Bonnie,” Rowena said with a smile.
Bonnie responded with a polite smile, “You’re welcome.”
She then turned around and led the way into the villa ahead of Halle and Rowena.
Halle looped her arm through Rowena’s and whispered. “Look at her. She really thinks she’s the lady of the house! She is so arrogant. Once my cousin gets tired of her, she’ll be kicked out in no time, won’t she?”
Rowena maintained her cheerful expression, although there was a trace of gloom in her eyes. “Halle, let’s not say too much for now. Let’s wait until we see Ivor.”
“Right, right, let’s wait to see my cousin first. So that Bonnie won’t go crazy for real and have the bodyguards throw us out.” Halle nodded in agreement.
