Chapter 2

Their leader saluted Bonnie. “Please get in the car, Ms. Bonita.” 2

“Why did you bring so many people here?”

Bonnie scanned her surroundings, noting not only the large number of people but also the heavy weaponry they held.

“You’re a national treasure of Arvandor, Ms. Bonita. We can’t let anything happen to you. I would have brought at least ten times more soldiers if you hadn’t said something.”

The man who said that was Brigham Hartley. He wore navy blue epaulets on his shoulders adorned with yellow trim.

He stood tall and had an imposing presence.

“Come on, I’m just going to the research institute. Besides, I can take care of myself, okay?” Bonnie said nonchalantly.

“The whole world is waiting for the results of your research. If you succeed, it’ll be a game–changer for human civilization. We’ll do anything to ensure your safety and keep anyone else from finding out your true identity!” Brigham said, excitedly. He was a huge fan of Bonnie.

Bonnie raised her brow and tried to change the subject.

“Oh, where’s Jim?”

“He’s gone overseas to join the International Fighting Championship. I’ll be in charge of your safety for now.”

“Okay, let’s go.” Bonnie got into the vehicle.

The Shepard family butler heard the commotion and went out to the gate to find out what was going on. He was shocked to see Bonnie being escorted away by soldiers in camouflage.

“Oh, no, ma’am! Ms. Bonnie’s been taken away by the police.”

“What on earth happened?” Vera was astounded.

“I have no idea, ma’am! An army of police officers cornered her and took her away.

Vera quickly rushed out of the villa, followed by Trina and Hadwin.

When they reached the gate, the helicopters were long gone, and Vera only saw the SUVS moving

away.

“What the hell?” Vera grew pale and held a hand to her heart.

“Has Bonnie broken the law?” Trina asked.

“So many people came to get her! What could she possibly have done?” Hadwin frowned.

Murder?

Multiple homicides?

Or something even crazier?

They had no way of knowing for now.

Two days later, a round of applause erupted in the top laboratory of the city of Pyralis.

“Woohoo! We’ve finally succeeded after working on the research for a whole year.”

“We owe it to Ms. Bonita. We couldn’t have developed the new carbon nanomaterial so soon without her guidance!”
