Chapter 143

I spent a good amount of time comforting Stella, hoping she wouldn’t fret over me and accidentally harm the baby in her belly

After hanging up, my dislike for Bonnie hit a new high.

My hatred for Neil was burning like a wild fire.

I asked Halley to write a piece centered around the recording and send it to me for review.

Three days later, he sent me the draft.

Meanwhile, Russell messaged me that Bonnie’s surgery in Phenovia was temporarily postponed. She was returning home and would continue her regular check-ups and treatments at the hospital where she used to treat her heart condition.

As I was pondering over my next steps, Barbara called.

“Rena, I’m at a loss for words!” she sounded exasperated, “News of Bonnie’s heart condition is spreading like wildfire at Rosemont College. The school even organized a fundraiser, especially music department students, this is insane!*

“A fundraiser? She’s got Neil, why would she need a fundraiser?’ I sneered.

“People are saying she and Neil are just friends, and Neil is the one pursuing her. She wouldn’t accept any financial support from Neil. Many people think she’s quite proud and those who criticized her before are now starting to feel sorry for her, Barbara replied.

Although Bonnie was cunning, she did care about dignity, otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people willing to believe her.

In some ways, she was good at disguising herself, always able to make most people like her.

Unless Neil came forward to clarify, those rumors would be taken as truth by the public, and Bonnie’s bad reputation-would slowly fade away
