BXBX NOVEL Chapter 395 - 351: Nine Gods
Everyone in the tea room was watching Bonnie Maxwell, listening to her speak.
Standing nearby, Juan Wright and Michael Jackson listened to her words. Juan clenched his teeth and muttered, “What a great actress she is, she sounds so sincere Why isn’t she in the entertainment industry?”
“Bonnie Maxwell ”
As soon as Hardy Clark uttered these three words, Natalie Wayne smashed the teacup in her own hand.
The teacup shattered accompanied by a sharp sound, causing the entire tea room to become silent.
Hardy and Calvin Stewart shivered in fright.
Charles Amos was also startled.
Arthur North raised his eyebrows and then gently patted Daisy Zane’s head.
Charles looked at them and also wanted to be patted on the head, but no one looked at him, so he patted his own head.
In the room aside from Elina Clark, it seemed that nobody had ever seen Natalie Wayne lose her temper like this.
Bonnie was also startled at first but recovered quickly. The corner of her mouth twitched as she looked like she was ready to watch a good show, waiting to see how Natalie would scold Daisy.
Natalie looked at the two tea masters and said, “Leave.”
The two tea masters hesitated but glanced at Bonnie and left the room.
When they left, Natalie spoke slowly, “Daisy is now my daughter-in-law in the Clark Family and a member of our home. I won’t allow anyone to tarnish her innocence or damage her reputation. Anyone who opposes her is on the opposite side of the Clark Family.”
She looked at Bonnie and continued, “What’s going on with the man in the video? The Clark Family will investigate, and we won’t let him off easy. But I believe in Lucia. So no one should say anything that might give rise to misunderstandings. As an onlooker, you have no right to favor either side.”
Daisy looked at Natalie Wayne.
Bonnie’s heart skipped a beat, and her face suddenly turned a few shades paler.
Although Natalie didn’t mention any names explicitly, it was clear that her words were directed at Bonnie.
She did not expect the Clark Family to protect Daisy so fiercely.
For a moment, the tea room fell silent, with no one speaking.
Bonnie could hear her own heart beating thumpingly loud.
After about ten seconds, Charles munched on a potato chip, breaking the silence with a barely audible crunch.
Elina and Natalie both looked at him, and then both gave him a gentle smile.
Charles showed them his newly-grown baby teeth and smiled back obediently.
Bonnie’s mind raced, and she quickly regained her composure. She took a breath without showing any emotion and forced a smile, “Aunt Wayne is right. That man is indeed despicable. I was overly eager to deal with the situation and misspoke.”
No one spoke.
Bonnie paused and continued, “This matter has gotten too big now, and I’m worried it will affect the Clark Family. I just wanted to figure out how to handle it and suppress the news. I didn’t consider things thoroughly.”
Arthur North placed a plate of peeled pistachios beside Daisy and wiped his hands with a wet wipe, “We still need to thank Miss Maxwell for that.”
“Aunt Wayne treats me like a daughter, and it’s what I should do,” Bonnie said with a smile.
Daisy looked at her and asked, “So Miss Maxwell wanted to help me, is that right?”
“Of course.” Bonnie looked at her, but her smile seemed twisted at the bottom of her eyes. “Your reputation is related to the Clark Family, so naturally, I can’t just stand by and do nothing.”
“Is that so?” Daisy’s mouth curved upward, but there was no trace of a smile in her eyes. “Miss Maxwell has joined Celestial Pivot, and her hacking skills must be excellent. I wonder if she has ever attacked Celestial Pivot’s defense system?”
All of the Clark Family members turned to look at Daisy.
Only Charles continued eating.
Excitement faintly appeared on Juan’s face.
“Why are you asking this?” Bonnie didn’t know why Daisy suddenly brought this up.
“I saw Miss Maxwell join Celestial Pivot and seemed very proud. I thought Miss Maxwell had broken through Celestial Pivot’s defense system,” Daisy said softly. “Holt Lawrence, one of the founders, has never been so smug.”
Arthur’s eyelashes blinked gently. The little girl had met Holt Lawrence
He hadn’t even met him.
Bonnie raised her chin and said, “Although I haven’t broken through Celestial Pivot’s defense system, I can crack 59% of it. People will always keep progressing, and there will eventually be a time when they succeed.”
“59% ” Daisy patted Charles’s head lightly. “Where did you break through last time?”
“67%,” Charles said, putting a pistachio Arthur had peeled into his mouth.
Arthur North:
Juan Wright: “!!!!!” (When did this happen!? He only taught Charles the basics, not such profound skills.)
