Chapter 259
I never had the intention to scramble for the bouquet in the first place, but Barbaras bouquet just had to
fly in my direction.
I withdrew my hand, while Bonnie on the other side reached out for it. Fine, let her have it.
Before I could react, the bouquet landed right in my arms, and Bonnie fell to the ground with a loud
thud.
“Ouch!” Bonnie cried out in pain, clutching her right shoulder. That looked like it hurt.
Kate, who was standing behind us, immediately rushed over to check on Bonnie. “Are you alright? How
did you fall?”
The guests were shocked by this sudden turn of events, craning their necks to see what was
happening
I stood there, with bouquet in hand, having a bad feeling about the situation
As expected, Bonnie shot me a pitiful look, then shook her head, “I’m fine. I shouldn’t have gone up to
fight Irene for the bouquet…
When the bouquet was tossed, a dozen women scrambled for it, so physical contact was inevitable.
People at the back couldn’t clearly see the actions of those in front. If Bonnie claimed that I pushed her,
I could easily be misunderstood.
Falling is a risk when scrambling for the bouquet it’s just a minor injury: what’s the big deal?” Stella
bluntly stated.
“But Bonnie caught the bouquet! Irene snatched it from her hands and pushed her down. Isnt that too
much? Kate helped Bonnie up, shooting me an angry glare
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI stood there, watching them spew nonsense. Some of the guests would surely believe Bonnie. After
all, aside from Stella and the others, there were many unfamiliar faces
Sure enough, whispers began to circulate
‘She’s Neils ex wife, and Bornie is Neil’s ex-girlfriend. She must have done it on purpose, right?”
“Neil’s here too, did he see?”
“It did seem like Bonnie caught the bouquet, then was robbed by Irene.”
Those who knew about my past with Bonnie immediately assumed that I was intentionally getting back
at her
I really didn’t want anything to do with Bonnie anymore. Plus. I had no interest in getting married, so
what was the point of fighting over the bouquet?
To avoid disrupting the wedding ceremony, Bonnie and I were led away to the lounge by the staff
Just as we reached the lounge, the door was pushed open, and Neil walked in.
I hadn’t seen him in about half a month. Upon entering, he first glanced at me, his eyes unreadable.
Neil, Bonnie burst into tears as soon as she saw him
“Where are you hurt?” Neil walked over, his tone was surprisingly gentle.
Bonnie touched her shoulder, her teary eyes made her look quite pitiful. My shoulder hurts. It’s so
embarrassing to fall in front of so many people”
Neil bent down to inspect Bonnie’s shoulder. It was probably just a minor scrape, but girls tend to be a
bit delicate. Neil seemed willing to accept her
again.
I just don’t get it. What happened during this period that made Neil change his attitude towards Bonnie
so drastically?
“It’s all Irene’s fault! I shouldn’t have let Bonnie go up there. She just wanted to catch the bouquet and
give it to you? Kate’s accusations were full of blame towards me and hinted at Bonnie’s feelings for Neil
I watched them coldly. “Do you have proof?”
‘Do we need proof? Everyone saw it!” Kate replied angrily.
Bonnie was weeping pitifully. Neil turned to look at me but didnt say a word.
Just then, Russel’s voice came from the door, “From what I saw, Bonnie tripped herself. There are
plenty of cameras on site, just check the footage, and everyone will know”
I was stunned while looking at Russel. The moment his gaze met mine, it softened.
Bonnie immediately panicked, “You’re talking nonsense! I have a weak heart, so why would I trip
myself? That’s risky!”.
“Maybe to frame Trene? Russel chuckled coldly, not bothering to mince words.
My feelings were mixed. Up until now, the person who trusted me most was still Russel
Neil looked conflicted. He slightly distanced himself from Bonnie and spoke in a cold tone, “If that’s the
case, it’s a misunderstanding Bonnie, apologize
to Irene’
After hearing Neil say that, Bonnie’s face changed drastically. She couldn’t believe that Neil would side
with Russel and protect me at this moment.
I was taken aback. I instantly forgot what I was going to say
“Neil, how can you trust Irene and doubt Bonnie?” Kate asked bluntly
I trust facts. From Russel’s position at the time, he could clearly see what happened.” Neil didn’t waver
or hesitate. He looked sharply at Bonnie. “Since you falsely accused her, you should apologize for your
actions.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBonnie’s chest was heaving, she was clearly agitated. She clutched her chest, starting to gasp for
breath.
Kate quickly took out some medication she carried with her and fed it to Bonnie, then angrily
questioned Neil, “Don’t you know she has a weak heart? Are
you trying to kill her?”
“Didn’t you bring medicine? Russel nonchalantly said, “As long as she takes it, she’ll stabilize. If she
still feels uncomfortable after taking the medicine, please send her to the hospital.”
He used to be a doctor, so he left Kate and Bonnie feeling extremely embarrassed.
Bonnie’s voice trembled. “Neil, do you still favor her in your heart? Then why did you agree to see me
and have meals together recently?”
“We now have a business partnership. You should ask Gloria about that “Neil’s voice was cold, lacking
the gentleness he had shown earlier.
I stared at him, unsure of what he was thinking. Why did he always do contradictory things?
“Better apologize quickly. I have other things to attend to “I finally spoke to Bonnie.
I’m the one who got hurt here; why the hell should I be apologizing? Am I supposed to just soak up all
this unfairness?” Bonnie couldn’t stomach the reality as tears began streaming down her face. Her face
turned red from the flurry of emotions
‘Just because you’re hurt doesn’t mean you’re in the right. Bonnie, do you even have a sense of right
and wrong anymore?” I was genuinely curious, was this the way she was raised?
Maybe Bonnie, based on Neil’s recent behavior towards her, thought they were back together. She
figured Neil would back her up no matter what, which was why she deliberately screwed me over
tonight.
But she got it all wrong. If Neil really loved her, all the past beef between her and me wouldn’t have
happened in the first place.
