Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 205

“What on earth are you thinking about while driving? Dreaming about Russel?” Neil had no intention of

leaving. He leaned on the car window and stared at me with cold and mocking eyes.

“He’s my boyfriend. It’s normal to miss him.”

Neil scoffed, “Already head over heels for him?”

“Jealous much? Aren’t you afraid your girlfriend will find out?” I was a bit moody, and my words were

laced with sarcasm, “Oh, right. She’s too busy scheming to ruin our family.”

Neil raised an eyebrow, “Are you scared of her?”

“She’s smart and resourceful. Plus, she’s got you, her manipulative boyfriend to back her up. Why

wouldn’t I be?” I pushed the car door open.

Neil finally let go, and I got out of the car.

Neil was driving a Bentley today. Luckily, I was driving slowly near my house, so I only scratched the

paint a little

After checking, I asked Neil, “How do you want to handle this?”

“Shouldn’t I be asking you that? Neil touched the scratched tail of my car There seemed to be a crack

in the light, too

“Do you want the insurance company to handle it, or do you want to settle this privately?”-

He turned to me,

I obviously chose to settle it privately. I didn’t want to make things complicated.

“We can handle it ourselves. How much do you need?’I grabbed my phone from the car. “I’ll transfer it

to you.”

Neil watched my efficient move, and his face suddenly had a cold expression, “I’ll let you know after I

get it fixed.”

I didnt care. I got back into the car and parked it in front of my house. My car needed to be fixed too

However, I bought this affordable sedan specifically for work. The repair fee shouldn’t be too

expensive.

Just as I got home, my dad asked, “Did Neil move next door? I didn’t see him when I got home, but I

recognized his car. Is it him?”

“Yes.”I nodded.

“That cheeky brat! My dad suddenly ran out with a broom from our yard, storming towards Neil’s villa.

My dad’s temper was really something, especially when it came to me. He cared a lot.

I quickly caught up with him and dragged him back home.

“Dad, what are you doing?” I asked helplessly

“I want to ask him what the hell he’s thinking. Is he doing this on purpose?” Dad was nothing like his

usual composed, scholarly self. He was like an old man who’d lost his marbles.

I patted his chest to calm him down, “Dad, let’s not stoop down to his level. I’ve told Mom that if he

really starts harassing me, I’ll move out. He won’t be

able to find me”

My dad took a deep breath, “I heard he’s getting engaged to that Bonnie?*

“Yes, so there’s no need to worry.” I answered.

‘Bonnie is not a good person.” Dad frowned, “She’s trying to get Finn out of jail, but I’ve arranged for

someone to keep an eye on him. There’s no way he’s getting out!”

Finn had already turned himself in, and Bonnie was still trying to help him escape?

It seemed like she was really afraid that Finn wouldn’t be able to handle the pressure and would spill

her secrets

I sighed, “It’s not just about helping Finn. She and her godmother even started a company called

StarGlow Enterprises. Their main business is exactly the same as ours, and their office is even near

our headquarters.”

Dad must have already known about this. A company that big would need a series of approvals. Dad

must have known earlier than Mom and I.

A look of worry appeared on his face, “I know, but there’s nothing wrong with their procedures. There’s

nothing we can do.”

I looked at my dad who had raised me. His temples were already grey. He had been honest all his life,

and all the wealth in our family was created by my

mom

He was about to retire soon. It wasn’t right to let him deal with Bonnie.

“Dad, don’t worry too much. Companies are established and closed down every day. We just need to

work hard.” I comforted my dad.

Dad nodded, “You’re night!”

The fact that I could easily calm my parents down was mainly because I was now with Russel and Nell

had Bonnie, so they didn’t have to worry so much.

No matter what happens in the future, we will face it together as a family.

Three days later.

Stella, Alicia, and Barbara all called me. Their messages were pretty much the same.

StarGlow Enterprises had opened. They mainly invited some of the elite in Rosemont to attend the

opening ceremony and cocktail party

Although their parents could choose not to go, they would probably attend.

Bonnie had some nerve. She even sent an invitation to my house.

After she returned to the country, she held a second banquet, obviously trying to introduce her new sell

to everyone.

When my mom received the invitation, she didn’t throw it away or refuse it. Let’s go. We can’t avoid

this.”

This was business, it wasn’t personal it couldn’t be handled casually.

“I’ll go with you” I said.

“Do you want to go?” Mom asked worriedly

“Yeah, I want to see.” I nodded. Even if I didn’t want to. I had to go. I was the only child in the family. If

the company needed me to manage it in the future, 1 couldn’t stay ignorant.

Mom smiled.

I used to hate doing business and didn’t want

o join the company. Now that I had changed, both Mom and Dad were happy.

StarGlow Enterprises’ opening was at ten o’clock the day after tomorrow. My mom and I prepared to go

directly

“Mrs. Finch, you’re here!” After seeing my mom, Gloria came up to greet us.

“Congratulations” Mom’s attitude was not warm. She just smiled faintly and shook hands with Gloria.

We deliberately didn’t rush to the ribbon-cutting ceremony. We just wanted to see who came to the

cocktail party to understand Gloria and Bonnie’s

connections.

Following my mom, Gloria smiled and said, ‘Ms. Finch, I might have been a bit presumptuous when I

came to see you recently I hope you don’t mind.”

“It’s okay “I smiled, sounding a bit cold.

At this moment, Bonnie sauntered over. She wasn’t dressed to the nines today, instead, she wore a

simple white dress. Her hair was back to the straight and long style of her past, and she hadn’t put on

any makeup. She looked innocent and pure, reminding people of her college days.

Kate was following Bonnie. I don’t know why, but I always felt that even though she was Gloria’s flesh

and blood, she didn’t seem to be as favored as

Bonnie

Despite this, Kate didn’t show any resentment. On the contrary, she always took on the responsibility of

being Bonnie’s older sister.

“Irene, Mrs. Finch, you’re here,” Bonnie, arm in arm with Gloria, said affectionately.

She quickly turned her head and called out, “Neil, I’m over here!”
