Chapter 198
\nThree Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 198<\/p>\n
With only one month left before her grad school entrance exams, Bonnie stuck to a tight study schedule. From morning until night, unless she was eating or resting, she barely took a break. She left everything about the online mess to Patton, her lawyer, so she could fully focus on her review sessions. Her phone stayed on silent, blocking out both calls and WeChat alerts.<\/p>\n
During a rare break, she finally picked up her phone and saw missed calls from Patton and Aiken. Her WeChat was overflowing with unread messages.<\/p>\n
Her heart pounded as she called Patton back, half afraid some new disaster had happened. Things had been pretty calm online lately, but she couldn\u2019t help worrying that Hannah might pull something. She\u2019d already fallen victim to Hannah\u2019s schemes\u2014both obvious and sneaky\u2014more times than she liked to admit.<\/p>\n
Patton answered almost right away, his voice calm and reassuring. \u201cBonnie, I\u2019ve got good news.\u201d<\/p>\n
Relief rushed over her, and for a second her heart dropped, then immediately raced even faster. She stumbled over her words. \u201cWhat… what good news?\u201d<\/p>\n
Patton sounded amused. \u201cYou must be in deep study mode if you haven\u2019t checked the news. Take a look when you have time. Honestly, it\u2019s better if we talk everything through in person with Aiken at the police station. Too much to cover on a call. Are you free?\u201d<\/p>\n
Bonnie was absolutely free. As soon as she and Patton agreed on a time, she jumped up to get dressed and head out.<\/p>\n
Pulling on her scarf as she stepped into the hallway, she noticed piles of luggage stacked outside a neighbor\u2019s door.<\/p>\n
Someone was clearly moving in.<\/p>\n
A girl was scrubbing the door handle of apartment 1207 next door with a wet wipe, muttering under her breath. Bonnie caught her words\u2014something about the landlord getting lipstick all over the handle.<\/p>\n
Bonnie paused, thought for a second, then decided to say hello. \u201cHey, are you moving in?\u201d<\/p>\n
The girl smiled. \u201cYeah, that\u2019s me. You live next door? Hope we get along.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bonnie clicked on one of the links. It took her to The Lane Group\u2019s official page. They\u2019d posted a statement saying all the rumors about Lawrence, the CEO, had gotten way out of hand. The company wanted to clarify the situation and apologize sincerely to Bonnie for all she\u2019d been through.<\/p>\n
It was hard to read the tiny letters on her screen in the sunshine. Bonnie narrowed her eyes and read the post through a few times to make sure she\u2019d gotten it right.<\/p>\n
The gist was simple. Three years ago, Bonnie and Lawrence had been dating, fair and square. When they broke up, it was actually Lawrence and Hannah who were at fault, not Bonnie. Lawrence made it clear Bonnie wasn\u2019t the so-called \u201cother woman\u201d the internet had painted her as.<\/p>\n
The statement urged people to look at the facts before judging.<\/p>\n
It also mentioned how, three years ago, Hannah\u2019s fans had viciously harassed Bonnie online. Without Lawrence knowing, Hannah had written a manipulative long post that stirred everyone up, turning Bonnie\u2019s life at school into a nightmare. For three years, those rumors had haunted her, hurting her both physically and mentally. The company said they were truly sorry for everything she had suffered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-866","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/866","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=866"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
