Chapter 203
“Drop the act, Bonnie. He’s the same guy you hired last time. Now, he’s here again. We’re not as
gullible as you think. He’s handsome, for sure. Is he one of the male strippers from the clubs you
frequent? That’s classy. You’re using the money you get from your old sugar daddy to get a male
stripper.
“I can’t believe you offered to pay the bill and tried to take credit for it. You make me sick. Someone
like you can never compare to Sacha Although her love life might’ve taken a hit, she still got into
Pyralis University.
“She’s immensely talented. It won’t be long before she finds someone much better than Dwayne.”
Meanwhile, Sacha began to sweat. She knew who Ivor was, and Tilda was digging her own grave
with
her words.
‘Damn it, Tilda. You can talk shit all you want but don’t drag me into it!‘
She was in the middle of her thoughts when she noticed Ivor’s cold glance. Sacha was horrified as
she felt shivers down her spine.
Bonnie patted Ivor’s hand, hinting she would deal with them herself. Her warm touch melted Ivor’s
bitter coldness.
Bonnie casually stared at Tilda and said, “I hate it when people throw accusations around without
intentions to back it up with evidence. I’m sorry you assumed I earned my money dishonestly. If
that’s the case, you can pay for your share of the bill.”
Tilda’s eyes widened in surprise. She was furious and a little regretful. She should have waited until
they left the restaurant before sassing Bonnie.

“That includes you.” Bonnie shifted her gaze to Sacha. “You’re paying, too.”
Sacha hated Tilda and her big mouth even more now.
‘Great! That’s ten grand down the drain!‘
As the party continued, Rios approached Bonnie with his wine and said, “I should’ve said this
sooner, but better late than never. Congratulations on getting into Pyralis University and becoming
our city’s best scholar. You made us and the school proud.”
“Thank you, Mr. Rios.” Bonnie stood up and clinked her glass with Rios, who was so happy that he
downed his wine.
“There’s something I’ve wanted to ask you, Bonnie,” he whispered.
“What is it?”
Rios’s expression suggested he had been considering whether or not to ask this question for a long
time. He looked around them and ensured no one was looking before he asked, “How do you know
the
answer to the question about the nondeterministic polynomial?”
That was the last thing Bonnie thought her teacher would have asked. “What are you trying to find
out?”
“Come on, a mysterious mathematician solved the question about the nondeterministic polynomial
right before you did. However, you’re just a student. Why would you research such a question in
your free time?”
Bonnie responded smilingly, “Well, you researched it, too.”
“I got lucky. It just so happened that my old college professor told me he had the pleasure of being
there when the mysterious mathematician solved it. That’s why I got the answer earlier than most
people.” Rios gulped and looked into Bonnie’s eyes.
“I asked about the mathematician’s name, but my old professor didn’t know it either. Back then, she
gave a speech to a thousand people and answered the question before them.
“All my professor knew was that the mysterious mathematician’s last name was Shepard, and she
was almost the same age as you. What are the odds of that, Bonnie?” He stared at Bonnie with
such gleaming eyes.
“You can tell me, Bonnie. I promise never to tell anybody. Also, please don’t lie to me. I’ve lost sleep
for several nights over this. I don’t think I can ever rest easy until I find out the truth.” Bonnie palmed
her forehead and said, “Fine. It was me.”
