Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 320

I was quite puzzled but didn’t show it, pretending to be calm..

“Why are you here?” Faith had no sympathy or fondness for Bonnie. All her manners and etiquette were thrown out the window.

Bonnie walked in with a bouquet of flowers in hand. She put the flowers by my bed and spoke in a scared tone. “Ma’am, I rushed over last night after hearing from a friend about the fire at Oscar’s place. I was concerned for his parents’ safety. I didn’t expect to find Irene at the Morse family’s home and injured at that. So I came over to take care of her.”

Faith’s face was as cold as ice. Really? What a coincidence! Did you start the fire?”

After Faith’s response, Bonnie’s face instantly turned white, as if a secret had been exposed.

Faith’s accusation was offhand, but it got me suspicious. Given Bonnie’s character, she could indeed do such a thing. But how could she know I was there?

“Ma’am, you’ve got it all wrong. How could I do such a thing? After all, I once dated Oscar. He was so good to me. And now that he’s gone, how could I hurt his family?” Bonnie’s act was accompanied by tears. She pulled out her phone to show Faith something.

‘Ever since Oscar passed away, I’ve had trouble sleeping. I feel like if I hadn’t broken up with him, things might have turned out differently. So, I’ve been feeling guilty and secretly transferred some money to his parents. If I were that wicked, why would I do this?”

Faith softened a bit after listening to Bonnie and seeing the transfer records on her phone.

Bonnie, always adept at reading the room, immediately started to wipe her tears as she saw Faith’s attitude soften. “I know that you’re biased against me, Ma’am. You think I’m manipulative, but I’m human too. How could I be indifferent and malicious when something like this happens?”

As she spoke, she started crying uncontrollably. Her pretty eyes were like faucets that just poured out tears. It was pity-inducing

Faiths main issue with Bonnie wasn’t her background but her perception of Bonnie as a homewrecker with a moral compass gone haywire, unfit to marry into the Whitmore family.

But Bonnie’s act right now seemed to salvage her image somewhat.
