Ivor was surprised. He wanted to take a closer look, but the man got into the car
as well.
“It couldn’t have been Jim Ray.” He shook his head. Jim was Ms. Bonita’s top
bodyguard. Why would he be with Bonnie? He must have been mistaken.
Meanwhile, in the Rolls-Royce, Jim was asking Bonnie worriedly, “How was
everything? Was anyone from the Knight family mean to you?”
She found his question very amusing. “Do you think I'd let anybody be mean to
me?”
He didn’t feel better just because she had answered him lightly. “Did Ivor do
anything to you? Was he mean to you?”
“He treats me the way he would any ordinary person. He's not exactly hostile
toward me.”
“That's fine, then.”
“Oh. Speaking of, he helped me out of a pickle just now.”

“What? What happened?” Jim sounded very worried. She told him everything
that had just happened at the Knight family’s place. Jim's face was stern to begin
with, but it grew fiercer and darker when he heard the whole story.
“I can’t believe Halle and Rowena tried to pick a fight with you. Leave it to me,
Bonnie. I'll charge them with treason for humiliating a researcher of the nation!”
She looked at Jim, whose face was cold and grim, and shook her head. “You
don't use a sledgehammer to crack a nut. There was no need to involve you in
this. And anyway, I already taught them a lesson!”
“You let them off the hook too easily!”
“I have to agree with that, but you need to remember that Sigmund is Halle’s
grandfather. I would have been much harsher on them if it wasn’t for him.”
Jim frowned and hesitated before looking at Bonnie sternly. “You need to tell me
if anything like t happens to you again. Your safety is the nation’s top priority.”
“Alright. I'll let you know right away next time I get into trouble,” She promised
him.

However, Jim didn't exactly feel reassured. “Maybe I should just stay with the
Knight family. That'll make it easier for me to protect you.”
She raised her eyes, “No way. You'll expose my identity to the whole world if you
stay with the Knight family just to protect me. I hid my identity for a reason, and
it's not about keeping a low profile.
“I just don’t like the idea that reporters and paparazzi will dog me the moment I
step outside, or that I'll cause congestion in traffic because I want to buy food or
go shopping. I'll lose my freedom and privacy. I just want some peace and quiet,
that's all.”

“You say that, but those petty characters in the Knight family will always try to
cause trouble for you. I believe you'll be able to handle them easily, but what
good will I be as a bodyguard if I can’t protect you?”
“I said no. End of discussion,” Bonnie said firmly. Jim pursed his lips and lowered
his gaze, a plan already forming in his mind.
Bonnie went back to the Knight family’s place after working at the research
institute the entire day. Something was different today. Several dozen
bodyguards were standing in the courtyard, all of them wearing sunglasses.
“What's this?” She asked curiously.

“You should return to your room, Ms. Bonnie. I'm going to test them now. Things
will get pretty violent. I'm worried it'll upset you.” Alfred said.
“It's alright. I'll watch the tests.” She said lightly.

As they were getting ready for the tests, Bonnie found a place and took a seat.
