Chapter 271

I went to the police station to ask about the progress of Oscar’s case, but all I got was the same story

Neil gave me,

When I left the police station, it was already dark, but the streets were bustling with people. After all,

Christmas was just around the corner. It was the busiest time of the year.

In the cold, crowded streets, I got a call from Honnie. She was using a number I didn’t recognize.

“Oscar why did it have to be like this?’ Bonnie’s sobbing voice came from the other side of the phone.

“Bonnie, you’re quite the actress’ I said coldly. “He was your first love, and he was so good to you.

Don’t you feel the slightest bit of remorse?”

Bonnie sobbed back, Trene, I didn’t mean for him to die. It was an accident. Why do you have to paint

me as a heartless villain? I just wanted him to leave Rosemont!”

Her crying was so intense that it seemed like she genuinely felt sorrow over Oscar’s death.

Trene, let’s talk face-to-face.” She suggested meeting up

I didn’t want to see her, but I was curious to see how far this ruthless woman could take her act.

I agreed to meet. Bonnie picked La Rencontre as the place to meet.

It had been a while since I’d been to that place. Sometimes I regretted going there to spy on Bonnie in

the first place, upsetting the natural course of things

Half an hour later, I met Bonnie. The last time I saw her here was when she wanted me to divorce Neil.

Back then, she looked worn out and haggard, like a small flower that had been battered by a storm. But

now, that little flower had completely transformed. There was nothing cheap about her anymore.

The staff there had changed. No one recognized Bonnie, let alone me

“Irene.” Bonne greeted me with a sad smile. Her swollen eyes did look like she’d been crying.

“Just call me Ms. Finch. We’re not on friendly terms.” I said, sitting across from Bonnie, filled with

disgust and hatred for her.

Bonnie sniffled, “Old habits die hard.”

The coffee come, but I had no desire to drink it.

Bonnie took a sip and said, “I used to think the coffee here was good, but I couldn’t afford it on my

salary”

“Now, it doesn’t taste so good “She put down her cup and looked at my phone, “Irene, you’re not

recording this, are you?”

Not this time I was just staring at Bonnie, hoping to find some cracks in her pretty facade.

Bonnie gave a small smile, “Why are you looking at me like that? Do you still suspect me?”

“Bonnie, every action has its consequences. When karma comes knocking, you’ll regret it.” I said,

feeling somewhat ridiculous even as the words left my mouth.

Was there really such a thing as fairness in this world? If there was, why did Oscar have to suffer? He

was so kind and honest; he never did anything

wrong.

Bonnie’s smile gradually faded. Her meticulously drawn eyebrows lifted slightly, revealing a hint of cold

sarcasm, “If you think I’m responsible for this, you should blame Neil”

I felt a pang in my heart, “What do you mean?”

Bonnie looked genuinely surprised. “Didn’t Russel tell you? He’s such an upright guy.”

“Spit it out “I said, my tone growing sterner.

“1 thought Russel would tell you to make you give up on Neil completely so he could have you all to

himself.” Bonnie mused, “He’s such a fool”

Bonnie’s chatter was becoming more and more irritating. I stared at her coldly, waiting for her to

continue.

She took another sip of her unpleasant coffee as a victorious smile appeared on her face. “When you

kicked me out of Sterling Estates, all I had left was akey But they changed all the locks I was desperate

then, I almost died. My parents stayed with me in the hospital, and they even sold the new house they

hadn’t lived in yet just to cover my medical bills. But they couldn’t sell the house right away, so we were

stuck.”

“Do you know why I could go abroad for treatment in the end?”

Bonnie left the question hanging as the smirk on her face deepened.

I felt a chill I reached for my coffee, and my fingers clutched the handle tightly

Bonnie opened her innocent eyes wide and continued, “I thought Nell had given up on me and that he

didn’t care if I lived or died, but he had Russel give me a large sum of money to go abroad. Otherwise, I

would’ve been long gone.”

This was ridiculous!

I’ve never felt like such a joke before. Even though I had no expectations of Ned, I still felt hurt and

angry.

Any Russel didn’t even tell me about it!

“Ned didn’t fall in love with you in ten years; how could a divorce change that? He’s just being stubborn.

Bonnie said confidently. “His love for me is rest why else would he help me time and time again, letting

me do whatever I want?”

My emotions were starting to get the best of me, and my hands were shaking.

Bonnie noticed and grinned. She reached out and grasped the other side of my coffee cup, “So, if you

really think I killed Oscar, go ahead and hate Neil.”

“Get lost!” I felt as if Bonnie’s hand was covered in thorns, so I quickly yanked my hand back.

The coffee cup fell to the floor, shattering with a crisp sound. Coffee spilled everywhere, and its aroma

filled the air

A waiter came over

I put some money on the table and left without a second thought.

Outside, I looked at Bonnie through the glass window. She was smiling and explaining something to the

waiter, showing none of the sorrow she had earlier

My phone started buzzing. It was a call from Neil, Where are you right now?”

I’m at La Rencontre, you know, the place where we used to sip coffee together. Just haul ass over here

and pick me up.” I stared off into the intersection ahead, my voice flat as a pancake.

“Alright.” Neil responded with no fuss.

My car was actually parked nearby, but I just wanted Neil to come get me so Bonnie could see how he

was fussing over me now.

So what if Neil had pulled a fast one on me? I had to suck it up until I got an opportunity to see my dad.

Once I’ve seen my dad, I’m hightailing it out of Sterling Estates. I couldn’t keep the promises I made to

Neil anymore.

I stood in the chilly wind for a bit.

Neil’s car zoomed up as fast as lightning. His first move after he got out of the car was to strip off his

coat and wrap it around me
