Chapter 62
“Is that you, Dwayne?” Sergeant Zain recognized him.
“So, you’re in charge of this case, Sergeant Zain.” He was a little surprised to see Bonnie. He hadn’t expected to see her here. So was Bonnie the person Sacha said was bullying her?
Sacha burst out crying and ran into his arms as he was still in the middle of his thoughts.
“You’re finally here, Dwayne! Bonnie hired a group of guys and tried to beat me up! Luckily, the ment found their conscience and didn’t do it. Otherwise, I would be in the hospital now, Boo hoo…”
He frowned, “Why would she do that?”
“It was all because of the bet. We were just kidding around, but she insisted I shave my head. First, she threatened me in the group chat and said she’d release the video to the public if I didn’t honor the bet. She wanted to make a joke out of me. Then, she hired a group of men to beat me up. She wanted to coerce me into shaving my head. There was another reason…”
“Another reason?”
“Y–Yeah. She told me you tried to come on to her. She also said she was out of your league. She asked me to keep you on a leash.
“She even said you’re not fit to lick her boots and you grossed her out by giving her a million dollars to try to get her to marry you.
He believed every word Sacha said. After all, Bonnie had said that to him in the restaurant. Sacha hadn’t been there, so she couldn’t have known about it unless Bonnie had told her.
Dwayne was already irritated with Bonnie because she had humiliated him in the restaurant. He was beside himself with rage now that Sacha had fanned the flames.
He turned and looked at Sergeant Zain. “It’s like my girlfriend said. This woman here threw herself at me again and again, but I rejected her. That’s probably why she has a grudge against us. She insulted me in front of my girlfriend and hired someone to beat her up.”
Sacha was overjoyed to hear what Dwayne was saying. She had thought quickly and managed to kill two birds with one stone. Dwayne was going to blame Bonnie for this, and he would have zero interest
in her from now on.
Sergeant Zain looked at Bonnie sternly and asked, “Is that true?”
She answered calmly, “It’s their word against mine. There’s no evidence.”
That made sense, he thought.
“There isn’t any evidence?” Sacha pointed at the hired men. “You hired them. They’re witnesses.”
Bonnie slowly turned her head toward Sacha and said, “You say that they’re witnesses and I hired them. Do you have any proof of that?”
Sacha choked. It had never occurred to her that Bonnie would be able to maintain her calm
under these circumstances.
“Bonnie… Her name sounds familiar,” Sergeant Zain muttered.
Bonnie picked up a cup of water from the desk and remembered what had happened in the past She had been at this police station because of an incident once. Sergeant Zain had only been an ordinary officer back then. He had checked her social security card and inadvertently found out that she was the renowned researcher, Ms. Bonita.
“It sounds really familiar…” He kept thinking.
“Ah! 1 know! Is she that Bonnie?” A thought occurred to the officer standing beside them.
Bonnie’s grip on her cup tightened. Had he recognized her? All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
“Who?” Sergeant Zain asked.
“It is her. Bonnie, winner of the Best Scholar Award!”
“Oh. So, that’s her. My daughter said something about her.” That explained why her name sounded so familiar to him.
Bonnie relaxed a little.
“Where’s your family? Why aren’t they here?”
At that moment, they heard a deep voice at the door.
“I’m sorry I’m late.”
Bonnie turned toward the voice and saw Ivor. His hair was a little tousled, his tie was loose, and there was sweat on his forehead. It was clear that he had rushed over here.
Bonnie felt a little moved.
“I’m the one who should apologize. I dragged you into this.”
“What are you talking about? I’m your fiancé.”
