Fiancé, he said… Bonnic lowered her gaze and tried to hide her emotions.
“Fiancé?!” Dwayne and Sacha exclaimed in unison, visibly shocked. They had seen this man at the school gate and thought that Bonnie had hired an actor. They were shocked to hear that he was her
fiancé
“Impossible! I’ve never heard of him!” Sacha still thought that Bonnie had hired an actor. “She’s lying, Sergeant Zain. She doesn’t have a fiancé. Her ex–fiancé called off their marriage. She must have hired an actor to pretend to be her fiancé because she didn’t have the guts to tell her family about it.”
Dwayne thought Sacha made a fine point.
Sergeant Zain turned to Bonnie and asked with a serious expression on his face, “Is he really your fiancé? You shouldn’t lie to me.”
“He is.” She replied.
Sergeant Zain observed her for a while and looked at Ivor. “Please show me your identification, sir.”
“Ivor gay
it to him, and he passed it to one of his underlings to verify. Soon enough, his
underling came back, sweating profusely, and whispered in his ear.
He jolted and looked at Ivor incredulously. “So, you’re Mr. Ivor Knight. I’m sorry, I didn’t know. Someone get him a cup of tea. The finest tea we have.”
What was happening now? Dwayne and Sacha looked at each other, completely baffled.
Ivor Knight? Who was he? Why was Sergeant Zain being so respectful toward him?
Ivor didn’t drink the tea immediately. Instead, he looked at Sergeant Zain and asked, “Do you believe she’s my fiancé now?”
“Of course I do!” He nodded hurriedly. Naturally, he had heard about Ivor’s engagement. In fact, the whole of Pyralis knew about it. His daughter had said she was jealous of the woman who was engaged to Ivor. It had never occurred to him that he would bump into her today.
“Can I take her home now?” Ivor asked Sergeant Zain.
“Sure! Be my guest!”
“How could you let her walk free, Sergeant Zain?! He might be an important man, them off just because of that.” Dwayne stopped him.
but you can’t let
Sergeant Zain was annoyed. “You said Ms. Bonnie seduced you repeatedly and you rejected her time and again. That’s why she harbored a grudge against you, insulted you before your girlfriend, and hired someone to beat her up. Is that right?”
“Exactly!” Dwayne raised his chin and stared at Bonnie condescendingly. “It doesn’t matter if you’re pretty. You’re beneath me.”
“What a load of crap!” Sergeant Zain smacked the desk loudly.
Dwayne was startled. Before he could say another word, Sergeant Zain started yelling at him. “Ms. Bonnie is the future wife of the Knight Group CEO. Why would she need to seduce you, the son of a lowly four–star hotel owner? Do you think what you said makes any sense?”
“W–What?” Dwayne was stunned. Sacha’s mouth was wide open. She looked at Bonnie, then at Ivor. Was this stunning, exquisite man the most powerful man in the Knight Group? Was he the bachelor every single woman in Pyralis wanted to marry?!
Holy moly! She remembered it now. News of the Knight Group CEO’s engagement had shaken the entire city not long ago!
“Are you saying he’s the Knight Group CEO?” Dwayne pointed at Ivor, his tone different now. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Exactly. In the flesh,” Sergeant Zain replied sternly.
Dwayne and Sacha finally understood. Sergeant Zain wasn’t joking at all.
