I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard )
Chapter 1271

Billy was puzzled, asking, "What do you mean?"

"It's a long story. I'll tell you the details when I can." Falcon waved and added, "What matters now is that I got under Barrett's skin. He might enter that room to help them as we speak."

Although he knew Boyd to be strict and overbearing, Falcon also knew his old boss was sentimental and fiercely loyal. What happened several years ago left a profound scar in Bonnie's heart. 'Boyd never talked about that incident, but I know he blames himself for failing to save that guy. Only the core Nidhogg members remember what happened. That's why I simulated it to probe Barrett.' Now that Falcon had recreated that horrific past and made "Bonnie" relive it, he thought she would act unfazed.

Meanwhile, Billy frowned and said, "All that matters is that you know what you're doing."

Falcon nodded solemnly. "It's a decisive moment. We only need to watch how Barrett reacts."

As Bonnie approached the door where she heard the screams, Falcon muttered anxiously, "Is he going in? Is he a spy, after all?"

He became increasingly excited and triumphant over his wise planning. "I knew to hit Barrett where it hurts if the other tests failed."

Billy frowned and asked, "Are you sure this test will yield the desired results?"

He did not want to miss out on someone as talented as "Bonnie" but was worried she could be one of the Nidhoggs. Even so, Falcon was about to give Billy a result he was reluctant to see. "I've pretty much proven my suspicions," Falcon said as he watched Bonnie.

However, she did not open the door. Instead, she took another path and left.

"Um..." Falcon scratched his head. "What's he doing?"

He thought Bonnie would open the door. Regardless of whether she would try to save the person, Falcon wanted to see her reaction. Still, she left instead.

'Barrett wouldn't be unfazed if he was Boyd. I must've made a mistake. What if Barrett isn't a spy after all?'

Billy glanced sideways at Falcon and questioned, "What's this? Are you trying to cost me someone as talented as Barrett?"

Falcon sensed his menacing tone and quickly explained, "Th-that's not it, Billy! I was just worried you'd suffer losses if Barrett were a spy. After all, the chip's functionalities are of utmost importance. "It'll impact our dreams of ruling over all organizations. We can't be too careful with such a grand dream, right?"

Billy looked at him mysteriously, saying, "Hmm, I guess you're just looking out for me."

"Of course I am!" Falcon bowed respectfully. "I have our best interests at heart. I'm no longer one of the Nidhoggs. I'm loyal to you now, Billy."
