Chapter 414
Bonnie was sweating nervously, her face pale as she clutched her cup. Yvette raised an eyebrow, holding her own cup with a calm demeanor. “No need to be nervous,” she said lightly.
Bonnie’s heart skipped a beat. ‘How could I possibly not be nervous at a time like this? If Sheldon finds out Yvette’s in here, it’ll be a disaster!‘ Bonnie was so rattled that she’d forgotten Yvette had entered the village with Sheldon.
Outside, Sheldon’s face darkened as he heard someone else’s voice from within. He yelled, “Bonnie, is there s your room? Open up right now, or I’ll break down the door!”
He bellowed again. “Open up! Who’s in there with you? Hurry up! If you don’t open the door, I’m calling for backup.”

In the next moment, the door swung open from the inside, and Yvette stood there. Sheldon’s hand froze mid–air as he saw her.
“You…” He stammered, “How is it you? What are you doing here? His eyes filled with a terrifying suspicion.
‘Why is Yvette in Bonnie’s room? Why did she follow me to Dungo Village?‘ he thought, starting to doubt Yvette’s intentions.
Yvette took a few casual steps forward, one hand in her pocket, her expression lazy and unbothered. “I got lost,” she drawled, glancing over at Bonnie. “Saw her banging on the door and came in to check it out.”
Sheldon let out a cold laugh. “Ms. Zeller, cut the nonsense. This room is guarded outside. There’s no way you could’ve even come close, much less entered. Who are you, really? What’s your purpose in Dungo Village?”
Yvette looked at him lazily, her delicate features cold and indifferent. “No one was here, and the door wasn’t locked.”
Sheldon’s face showed clear disbelief as he turned toward Bonnie, who stood frozen in shock. “Do you know her?” he demanded.
Although Bonnie’s heart was racing, her body reacted faster than her mind. She quickly shook her head. “No, I don’t know her.
“She barged in, and I was just about to throw her out when you knocked. Who is she? Is she another girl you tricked into coming here?”
Sheldon, seeing the anger in Bonnie’s eyes and how she wasn’t avoiding his gaze, began to believe that they truly didn’t know each other. But even so, he still felt a twinge of doubt and glanced uneasily at Yvette.
To cover his own insecurity, Sheldon raised his voice, snapping. Bonnie, what nonsense are you talking about? Tricked? Don’t be ridiculous and stop accusing me!”
Bonnie shot a quick glance at Yvette and felt a sudden surge of courage. ‘With Yvette here, I’m not scared at all, she thought, putting her hands on her hips and shouting back at him, her voice twice as loud as his.
When it came to shouting, Bonnie had never lost.
She continued, “Sheldon, am I wrong? You’re banging on the door like a mad dog, and now that it’s open, you’re saying all this weird stuff to her! I told you I don’t know her, and you don’t believe me?
“Then why are you even asking? Just take this woman and leave. I don’t want to see either of you! Stay if you want, but don’t cry when Holden finds out and scolds you!”
Sheldon was stunned. He’d never seen Bonnie act like this. ‘Bonnie is so naive. All she’s ever done is study. There’s no way she’s this good at acting, he thought.
He glanced again at Yyette, who looked calm and composed, showing no signs of guilt or unease. His suspicions mostly

faded, though one question still nagged at him.
‘Where was the guard at the door? How did Yvette even get inside?‘ he wondered.
Just then, a man in distinctive clothing came rushing over. “Mr. Jacobs, what are you doing here?”

Sheldon froze as he noticed the man’s trousers were still unfastened. Without a second thought, he slapped him and scolded him. “Where were you? Didn’t lock the door? You didn’t even know someone came in?”
The guard’s face turned red with panic as he quickly tried to explain, “Mr. Jacobs, I’m sorry! I had an upset went to the restroom. I’m so sorry. It won’t happen again, Mr. Jacobs!”
mach and just
Suddenly, a foul smell began wafting from the guard, and Sheldon grimaced, taking a couple of steps ba… disgust. He waved his hand dismissively. “Get away from me, now.”
The guard’s face flushed, and he looked a bit resentful. ‘It’s not like I wanted to have stomach problems! What else could I do? And now I’m getting slapped out of nowhere. This is so unfair,‘ he thought, clutching his stomach as he hurried off.
After the guard ran off, the unpleasant smell finally dissipated. All of Sheldon’s doubts disappeared. He now realized he had completely misunderstood Yvette.
Maybe Yvette had genuinely entered Bonnie’s room out of curiosity. After all, when someone banged on a door and shouted frantically, it was hard to just ignore them.
‘It’s all Bonnie’s fault, stirring up this nonsense and creating such a huge misunderstanding. Now I have to figure out how to explain this to Yvette,‘ Sheldon thought to himself.
Putting on a smile, he turned to Yvette with a sheepish expression. “Ms. Zeller, I sincerely apologize. This entire situation was my mistake. I’m very sorry.”
Throughout the ordeal, Yvette had maintained an impressively calm demeanor, remaining entirely unruffled. Bonnie’s hands, however, were clammy with sweat. She thought Yvette was absolutely amazing.
Yvette’s nerves were unbelievably strong. Bonnie couldn’t help but admire her. There was no way the guard suddenly got an upset stomach for no reason. Bonnie was convinced Yvette had something to do with it.
Yvette raised an eyebrow, a faint, almost mocking smile playing at her lips as her eyes flashed with cold, steely resolve. Her voice was chillingly detached. “Since it seems Dungo Village isn’t exactly welcoming to outsiders, I’ll be on my way, then.”
Sheldon felt a sudden wave of panic. ‘Yvette is a rare beauty. I can’t just let her leave!‘ He quickly ran through his options as he wondered.
Noticing Yvette’s apparent interest in Bonnie, Sheldon bit his lip and ventured. “Ms. Zeller, it seems you’ve taken a liking to
Bonnie.”
Yvette glanced over at Bonnie with indifference, shrugging slightly. “She’s alright. Cute enough, and chatting with her isn’t too bad.”
Bonnie’s heart leaped with joy. ‘Oh my god, Yvette just called me cute… I’m thrilled!‘
Everyone in Dungo Village knew Bonnie was timid, so Sheldon felt certain she wouldn’t say too much.
Why not keep her here with Bonnie for now? Tomorrow, once I control Yvette with poisonous insects, she’ll be mine to toy with however I please, he thought smugly. ‘It’s only a day. Two women could not possibly stir up, right?”
Sheldon said, “Ms. Zeller, a guest is always welcome in Dungo Village. There’s no way we’d be unwelcoming. Since you enjoy chatting with Bonnie, feel free to come by anytime. She’s the one getting married in three days.”
Yvette gave a slight nod. “Oh? So, it’s her.”

Bonnie looked over at Yvette as she wondered, ‘Wow, Yvette’s acting skills are incredible! Anyone watching would genuinely think we don’t know each other.
‘Sheldon is always paranoid, yet Yvette only said a few words, and he’s already agreeing to let her come see me? She’s remarkable.‘
Bonnie cleared her throat and, adopting a haughty expression, said disdainfully, “Don’t bring this woman round to see me. I have no interest in chatting.”
Sheldon snorted. “It doesn’t matter what you want. Ms. Zeller is my honored guest, and you’d better shone respect.”
Bonnie pretended to be annoyed, turning away and refusing to look at either of them.
Sheldon then said warmly to Yvette, “Ms. Zeller, let’s go. Bonnie’s throwing a tantrum again. Let’s leave her to her antics.”
Yvette gave a slight nod. “Okay.”
Once Yvette and Sheldon left, Bonnie finally turned stiffly around, cold sweat streaming down her face.
If Sheldon had stayed any longer, Bonnie wouldn’t have been able to keep up the act..
