I Love You, Miss Genius

Jim felt much better once he heard Bonnie's words.

'How'd I forget about that? Ivor can make anything happen in Pyralis, not to mention his blood-chilling identity. That's enough to neutralize any threat we face. A ruthless man like him has unlimited resources and capabilities. I'm not even needed here.' With that in mind, Jim turned to Bonnie. It occurred to him that he had overlooked Ivor's capabilities because Bonnie overshadowed Ivor with her incredible talents.

Meanwhile, Shane stared at Ivor, overwhelmed by the latter's imposing demeanor.

Ivor raised his chin slightly and said, "If you consideryour rival, you should knowwell. Do you think I wouldn't have prepared myself before coming to another nation alone?" Shane squinted while Ivor continued, "Of course, I made arrangements before coming out here. If anything happens toduring this business trip, my shares will go to my Grandpa. You can kill me, Shane, but I won't have any of Knight Group's shares once I stop breathing." "You're a ruthless bastard, Ivor!" Shane was shocked. "You're a family head, all right. That explains why you achieved it at such a young age. You're like a martyr. You impress me, Ivor!" Ivor responded coldly, "That's why you should consider my offer. Oh, scratch that. I think you have to accept my offer." Shane gnashed his teeth furiously and had to admit defeat. After all, Ivor had the best collaborators in Pyralis. The former would gain plenty if Ivor shared even one-third of his shares, not to mention half. 'My company will see exponential growth soon once I agree with Ivor. Maybe I should strike a deal with him.' With that in mind, Shane composed himself and said, "If you mean it, I'm sure you'll agree to sign a contract with me, right?" "That's correct," Ivor swiftly responded. Then, something occurred to him, and he added, "That said, there's no contract here. We should move this conversation to my office." Shane shook his head. "I won't believe you just because you said so. You must showyou mean it." Ivor's eyes gleamed as he stared at Shane, realizing the latter was about to take the bait. The former asked, "What do you want, Shane? Nyour terms, and I'll do everything you ask." Shane looked between Bonnie and Jim a moment later before settling on the latter. "I know you and Bonnie share a profound love, so I won't force you to do anything to her. Here's the deal. Push Jim off the cliff, and I'll believe you. Then, I'll let you two go." Bonnie's heart raced as a hint of fury arose within her. "Shane! Learn to quit while you're ahead!" Jim had kept her safe for many years. He was not just a friend but more like family to Bonnie. However, Shane had asked the man she loved to put her family in harm's way.

'That's it! Shane's dead!' Shane gazed at Bonnie and smiled coldly. He questioned, "What are you talking about, Bonnie? I'm doing this for you and your beloved. Sacrificing Jim will save both of your lives. Don't you think it's a good deal?" Bonnie sneered. "Damn you, you crazy old fart. Your thas come!" Immediately after, she dashed toward Shane and slapped him before anyone could react. She did not hold back, either. She struck him so hard that he almost blacked out.

"Mr. Shane!" Tom and the bodyguards huddled around to check on him. "Are you okay, sir?" Bonnie wanted to slap him several times but knew it was not the right time. After all, she was outnumbered. Ultimately, she stepped back.

Jim looked at her and saw how defensive she was toward him. He felt a warmth in his chest as he said, "You don't have to get upset for me. Your safety is what matters most to me." Bonnie turned to look at him. She asked solemnly, "What are you talking about? You're like family to me." Her words moved Jim again.

'That's why I've always stayed with her. Everyone knowsas Bonita's bodyguard and says I protect the pillar of the scientific research world. The truth is I'm not doing it for science. I'm doing it for Bonnie.

'That's just how charismatic she is. She makesfeel it's worth it to give my life for her if it means keeping her safe.' At that moment, Ivor glanced away and then smiled deliberately at Shane. "Hang in there, you two. Our reinforcements have arrived." Bonnie and Jim followed Ivor's previous gaze and saw Floyd leading a group of men toward them.

"Perfect, now we don't have to sacrifice anyone!" Jim had beenm worried about Bonnie's injuries since he first saw them. It seemed he could stop worrying soon. "Yeah," Ivor nodded and said coldly, "Let's deal with these guys. We'll take down as many as possible." Immediately after, he charged at them, yanked one of the men by the

collar, and started wailing at him. Meanwhile, Jim was behind Ivorm wiping the floor with the others On the other hand, Bonnie leisurely stood aside and watched the fight. 'Now that Floyd's here with backup, all we have to do is deal with whoever's in our way.' Suddenly, Shane sprang to his feet and charged toward her, his eyes filled with hatred. "Die, Bonnie!"

Ivor and Jim saw him and tried to rush to her side. However, Shane's However bodyguards held them back. 'Oh, no. I can't make it in time!' X
