“Well, I’ve gotten used to it.” Bonnie shrugged with a smile.
Welma felt sorry for her and ran her fingers through Bonnie’s hair, saying, “We wouldn’t have known how poorly they treated you if we hadn’t come to Pyralis.”
“Trina’s just after the Shepards‘ wealth and glory.” Benedict’s anger grew the more he thought about it. He then looked at his parents and said, “You didn’t stand up to them just now. You don’t really believe what Trina said, do you?”
Welma looked pained. “I watched you and Bonnie grow. I know you two better than anyone. Still, I didn’t know how Trina would react if I scolded her in front of her parents.”
Gerald added, “Your mom’s right. It’s best to play it safe since the Shepards treasure Trina so much. However His tone softened as he looked at Bonnie guiltily. “It’s just unfair to you, Bonnie. We’re sorry. We shouldn’t have…”
Benedict felt his parents were somewhat biased toward Trina, but he could also understand the difficulties they had faced when they decided to send Bonnie to the Shepards.
Bonnie said smilingly, “Trina’s your flesh and blood. Even if she’s unbearable, your blood flows through her veins. You did what true parents would have done.”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Not many could turn against their own family. Moreover, Bonnie was protective by nature and always prioritized her family.
“Gresham and Vera are peculiar,” Bonnie spoke without resentment. Instead, she was calm. However, the more sensible she was, the more Welma and Gerald’s
hearts ached.
“By the way, have you guys found a place to stay? What’s your next plan?”
“Your dad and I plan to return to the countryside in a couple of days. Benny got into Pyralis University and won’t be going back with us,” Welma said.
Benedict added, “I want to stay in here and find a part–time job to earn some extra cash. Then, I can help relieve the financial pressure at home.”
Bonnie took out her phone and said, “I’ll transfer some money to you guys.”
However, Gerald said solemnly, “Bonnie, I’ve told you to keep whatever you earned. Your mom and I don’t need our daughter to support us yet. I can still work. Even though I don’t earn much from farming and raising pigs, it’s enough for our daily expenses.”
Bonnie had offered to give her parents some money before, but they always refused.
“Yeah, we’re not parasites, sis. We know how hard it can be to earn money, and our parents aren’t that old. Also, I need to rely on myself to make a living.” Benedict also declined his sister’s handout.
Bonnie wanted to argue and say that earning money was easy for her. After all, she quickly made so much from scamming Xavier,
“Bonnie, put your phone away. Don’t bring it up again, okay? You can support us when we’re old and no longer able to move,” Gerald said sternly,
“Okay, Dad.” Bonnie could only obey and say coyly, “At least let me find you guys a place to stay. If you refuse, it means you don’t consider me your daughter.”
“That’s fine by us.”
Soon after, Bonnie found her parents and brother somewhere decent to stay. She did not book the best hotel in Pyralis and instead chose a mid–range one to avoid them complaining that she was wasting money. Even so, her parents still lectured her.
Bonnie asked Benedict, “What kind of part–time job are you looking for?”
Benedict shrugged, saying, “I don’t have much work experience. It’s unlikely I can work at a big company, so I chose a few small ones on a job–hunting website. I’m going for a few interviews tomorrow.”
“Which ones did you choose? Let me see.”
Benedict handed her his phone and said, “Here, these are the ones I picked.”
After looking through the list, Bonnie frowned and said, “These companies have no future for development. You’ll only be fetching water and printing documents or even cleaning.”
“I know, but I have no other options. Forget not having work experience. I’m also only looking to work part–time. Why would any well–established company hire someone like me?”
After some thought, Bonnie said, “Do you want to work at Tang Fusion Studios?”
