Chapter 1453
The more Vera thought about it, the angrier she became. Someone like Bonnie didn't deserve their familial affection! Harold didn't know what to say, realizing he was wrong. After coughing lightly a couple of times, he shifted the topic.
"Let's move past this. Now, I must tell you how to avoid getting dragged down. If you do, I won't be able to save you!"Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Gresham spoke up, "Dad, what should we do?"
Carlee analyzed, "Yeah, Dad, we don't want to be dragged down by Bonnie! If you think about it, it's obvious. She's so young, skips classes, disrespects her teachers, and doesn't get along with her classmates. How could she be qualified to be the principal?"
"I suspected something fishy back then but didn't expect her to latch onto Ivor! Now that this has blown up, even the Knight family is embarrassed. I bet a high-status family like theirs won't stand the pressure and will soon kick her out!"
Trina's eyes lit up at this. She had envied Bonnie for marrying into the Knight family and becoming a high -society lady. But now, hearing Carlee's analysis, she believed Bonnie would soon be kicked out.
That would be perfect! No one would threaten her position in the Shepard family anymore.
Gresham sighed heavily. "I knew she used underhanded means to become the principal of Pyralis University. I called her out, but she was so arrogant. Now, it proves I was right with everything exposed."
Carlee shook his head in disgust. "We thought Bonnie might finally achieve something, but she's hopeless. Now that she's done something shameful, I can't even go out. I'm embarrassed for people to know she's part of our family."
Harold said, "Why be embarrassed? If anyone asks, just say Bonnie is no longer part of our family and has been disowned."
Gresham seemed to understand. "Dad, are you suggesting we cut ties with Bonnie and deny any relation to her?"
"Exactly!" Harold nodded firmly, then turned to Gresham and Vera. "Gresham, Vera, I know you consider Bonnie your own, no matter what. But for the family's sake, you must consider the bigger picture.
"If Bonnie gets kicked out by the Knight family and comes to you, don't soften. Pretend you don't know her. She's under a microscope, and any contact could ruin us."
Gresham and Vera exchanged glances and nodded. "Dad, we understand."
"Bonnie's actions have shamed us enough. As her parents, we can't further disgrace the family."
Harold was pleased with their response. "Good, you understand. There's no need to say more."
Just then, Trina, holding her phone, exclaimed, "A major influencer on Twitter has come forward, claiming to have evidence that Bonnie seduced Ivor through unscrupulous means!"
