I Love You, Miss Genius

Chapter 98

Since it had come to this, Lane had no choice but to deny it to the end.

“I didn’t follow you, I swear!”

Jim frowned. “Looks like we’ll have to do this the hard way.

“Are you going to hit me? I know you. You’re Jim Ray, the King of Combat. I have the right to press charges if you hit me without proof of your claim!”

Sheesh! He was good.

Bonnie stepped forward and threw Jim a glance. “Let me handle this.” Jim nodded in response.

Bonnie looked at Lane condescendingly. Before she could say anything, he said, “It won’t work. I swear I wasn’t following you. You can beat me to death for all I care.”

“Chill. We won’t beat you to death. I just wanted to tell you something.” She said nonchalantly as she looked at Lane.

“W–What is it?” A sense of unease started to up on him.

“To be accurate, it’s my analysis of the situation. It wasn’t really a big deal that you followed Jim, but you’re forgetting that he’s Ms. Bonita’s bodyguard. It’s possible you were trying to get to her through

him.‘

When Bonnie brought up Ms. Bonita, Lane was so shocked he turned pale.

“y–You’re wrong…”

Bonnie ignored his denial and kept going, “Ms. Bonita has just developed a new nanomaterial and. announced she would collaborate with the Knight group. I suppose some other factions sent you here to locate her and coerce her into working with them.”

“That’s not what I’m doing! I swear!”

“If what you say is true, then you might be a foreign agent, sent here by some other countries envious of our success. For all we know, you could be trying to assassinate Ms. Bonita.”

Bonnie slapped those serious accusations at Lane, which made him panicked and drained.

Lane had only been hired to tail Bonnie. If someone believed what she was saying now, he’d have no way to explain himself and clear his name!

That was when he decided to save his own skin and damn everything else.

“I wasn’t following Master Jim. I was following you. You can’t accuse me of trying to hurt Ms. Bonita!”

Bonnie and Jim swapped glances and stifled their laughter.

Lane didn’t realize he had been following the person he was so afraid of.

“Oh? So you were following me? I’m not anyone famous. Why would you want to follow me?”

Lane could no longer hide the truth.

“A woman from the Shepard family asked me to follow you to your place.”

Then, it hit Bonnie. She had probably made Trina suspicious because she hadn’t stayed at her family home for quite a while.

“Did you take my picture at the pedestrian zone?” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Lane took out his phone bitterly and gave it to her.

She checked the gallery and asked, “Did you send these pictures to Trina?”

“T–That’s right.”

She didn’t say anything after that. Suddenly, she heard footsteps.

“Who’s there?”

Floyd emerged from a nearby bush, looking embarrassed.

“It’s

you.” She frowned and looked at Jim.

Floyd cleared his throat and was about to say something when he saw Ivor making a beeline for them.

“H–Hello, Mr. Ivor.”

Bonnie turned to look at Ivor and saw that his dashing face was contorted in rage.
