Trina was shocked when she saw that. 'Are the rumors true?! Is Bonnie in a relationship with the wealthiest man in Pyralis?' Suddenly, Trina recalled the news about the engagement the wealthiest man in Pyralis had hosted long ago. She remembered talking about it with her friends and classmates. They were jealous of the girl who had gotten engaged to the man.
'If this man is the wealthiest man in Pyralis, I would be insanely jealous of Bonnie!' "N-No, it can't be. I can't accept it," Trina muttered.
'Taking that seat doesn't necessarily mean he's the CEO of the Knight Group, right? His company could have sent him as a representative instead. I'll get to the bottom of this!' Trina gritted her teeth and approached Ivor. Meanwhile, Bonnie and Avril entered the venue and saw what Trina was doing. Avril said, "Bonnie, do you think she'll try to seduce Ivor?" "It doesn't look like it," Bonnie replied.
"Really, though? That is what she's doing." "No, she's not. I think she's headed for trouble instead." Avril noticed Bonnie's seriousness and could not help but cover her mouth and giggle. "Yeah, you're right. She's about to regret it." Trina appeared before Ivor and acted awkwardly, trying to look innocent.
"Can I help you?" Ivor's tone lacked warmth as he glanced at her casually.
Trina found his demeanor imposing. No one could forge such an overbearing sense of authority. Instead, one could only attain it after spending most of one's life in the upper echelon of society. Ivor's overwhelming authority confirmed Trina's suspicions. Still, she asked, "Um, are you one of the Knight Group's staff members?" "Why does that concern you?" "I-I was just curious. One of Bonnie's fellow country folks says you're the CEO of the Knight Group. Is that true?"

Trina was about to say something but realized her feet had gone numb. Hence, she could not help but feel e amazed at how intimidating he was. She was about to leave the menacing-looking man alone but noticed a shift in his eyes. His cold eyes brimmed with affection, making Trina wonder what brought on such a drastic change. She turned and followed his gaze to see Bonnie. Then, an intense jealousy and displeasure rose within Trina's chest.
She even wished to slash Bonnie's face with a knife.
'How dare she hoard all the nice things in life to herself! I'll win this competition, get a permanent job at Bonita Research Institute, and prove to everyone that I'm better than Bonnie! I'll excel at scientific research and shine once I get into the research institute!'
