NovelEnglishChapter 1592:
“That's not true!” Bonnie shouted, refusing to accept that she had been so easily fooled.
“It all makes sense now!” She drew in a shaky breath, her eyes round with disbelief. “This is about Elissa. You're
punishingfor coming on to you.”
At that point, Ernest did not even bother to answer.
For someone with his temperament, putting up with her this long was already a show of unusual restraint.
He stood up without another word and strode out of the restaurant.
Bonnie wailed in misery, tears spilling down her cheeks. “Ernest Flynn! This is outrageous. How am | supposed to
cup with that much money?” The bill totaled three hundred twenty thousand dollars.
“Miss.” The waiter approached her, keeping a polite smile. “Here's the bill. If you're unable to pay, maybe you

Her family? The mention of them drained what little color remained from Bonnie's cheeks.
She knew her parents had enough to cover the bill. However, if they discovered she had wasted that much
money on a dinner, she would never hear the end of it.
“Miss, | must ask you to hurry.” The waiter kept a courteous tone. “If you truly have no way to settle the bill, we'll
be forced to notify the police.”
“No, don’t! Please! I'll call someone. | swear I will...”
Just beyond the restaurant doors, Elissa gripped the phone tightly, having listened to every word of the scene
inside. For a brief moment, she did not speak.
She lowered the phone and handed it back to Quentin.
Quentin accepted the phone and gave a nod toward the restaurant doors. “Miss Holland, Mr. Flynn is heading
this way.”
Elissa glanced up just as Ernest cout and caught her gaze. When their eyes met, he picked up his pace.

“Elissa.” Ernest stopped right in front of her.
Elissa looked back at him, her emotions tangled up inside.
Ernest hesitated but then reached out and rested his palm gently against her cheek.
“She...” Elissa’s lashes fluttered as she muttered, “She’s honestly unbearable.”
“Yes. | know,” said Ernest, nodding.
Sometimes, the smallest things say the most.
To think her own half-sister had gone so far as to try seducing her boyfriend. Elissa must have endured more
than her fair share.
Not long ago, Ernest had also witnessed how Elissa’s father, Becker, had refused to stand up for her.
“You've had enough trouble,” said Ernest, his fingers lightly brushing her face. “I stepped in for you. Are you glad
1 did?”
“I am.” Elissa gave a firm nod, meaning every word.
He looked at her closely, his voice rough with emotion. “Then, Elissa, can | get a little reward?”
