“I’m not tired. You’re the only thing that matters to me..” Ivor held Bonnie’s hand gently. His adoration was unmistakable.
“You came to Everpeak for my sake and got injured because of me. That’s not even saying that you almost fell over a cliff. It’s only right that I feed and care for you now. Are you going to turn me down over such small stuff? I could die from the weight of guilt alone.”
Her heart softened when she met his gaze, filled with love and guilt. She decided she wouldn’t fight him over it.
“If you insist on feeding me, there’s no reason to reject you. After all, I’ll get to enjoy a top-notch service.”
He smiled when he heard that. Then, he brought the spoon to Bonnie’s mouth. “Here, have some of the porridge.”
She glanced at him sidelong before leaning over to eat the porridge. The moment she gulped the first mouthful, she couldn’t help but frown.
“Why is it tasteless?”
He explained, “Your shoulder injury is inflamed, and you have a mild fever. I was worried your stomach wouldn’t take it if I fed you something too oily, so I asked the chef to make something lighter.
“Just bear with it a little. Once we return to Pyralis and you fully recover, I’ll ask our chefs to make different dishes for you daily. That ought to make things interesting.” “Alright. I’ll eat the porridge.”
‘As a medical practitioner, I know that eating oily contributes to inflammation.
‘That said, I know he’s doing this because he has my best interest. I guess I’ll play ball for now.”
The next day, Ivor and the gang returned to Pyralis immediately.
Lying down on the soft couch, she couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
“Phew… Home sweet home.”
Ivor sat down next to her and thought about Shane. Looking at her, he asked, “I have Shane locked up in our villa’s basement. What are your plans for him?” She mulled it over. Then, something came to her, and her lips curled into a cunning grin.
“I have an idea. Come closer. I’m going to let you in on it.”
“I’m listening.” He leaned in closer. Then, she whispered into his ear about the facade of her plan.
He nodded with a smile after that.
“I know what must be done now. Leave it to me, Bonnie.”
“Okay. Go on and do it now. I’ll take a nap upstairs.” She yawned.
He nodded and responded, “Sure.”
The same afternoon, the business industry was assaulted with a barrage of news claiming that the Knight Group was about to acquire the Gemedia Group.
At the same time, it struck fear into
the hearts of the Knight Group’s competitors. After all, they were trying to join forces with the Gemedia Group to take down the Knight Group.
With that said, most of them were relieved.
They were grateful that they didn’t agree to collaborate with Shane. Otherwise, the Knight Group wouldn’t have stopped at acquiring the Gemedia Group. They would’ve been targets as well.
Lady Luck must’ve smiled upon them and saved them from a disaster.
Naturally, this also dismissed their intentions to antagonize the Knight Group further. After all, Ivor’s company was founded more than a
hundred years ago, and the man himself was a business sage.
On the other hand, they were minor companies. If they were to go against Ivor’s company, they’d surely achieve nothing more than getting themselves destroyed.
They weren’t sure how they got the idea or courage to want to collaborate with Gemedia Group and tear down the Knight Group.
Now that they saw the tragic ending of the Gemedia Group, they had all but abandoned those ridiculous ideas.
It wasn’t just something temporary, either. They were so intimidated that they would never dream about doing something outrageous.
