At this moment, Shannon spoke up.
“Auntie… please don’t be like this… I’m much better now!” After a pause, Shannon turned to Ranita and said, “Ranita, apologize to her. She’ll forgive you. Maybe she’ll let you go if you just give in.”
Amiya waved her hand at Shannon.
“Shannon, just watch! I won’t stand by and let anyone hurt you.” Amiya’s eyes glared angrily at Ranita. “She caused your miscarriage before and yesterday she dared to push you down the stairs. It’s unforgivable!”
“Auntie… I know Ranita didn’t mean it. Please don’t be angry!” Shannon gasped as she spoke with a fragile pale face that looked like a compassionate Bodhisattva who saves the suffering.
If Ranita had any sense of gratitude or decency, she would have apologized already.
“Shannon, stop joking! Did I touch you? You kept pestering me and it was your own fault that you fell down the stairs accidentally. So don’t blame everything on me.”
This comment touched Shannon’s heart again as tears welled up in her eyes while biting her lip saying, “Ranita… I didn’t… I…”
“That’s enough! Ranita! Do you have any excuse for maliciously hurting Shannon?” After Amiya finished speaking, she gave Robert a look who then placed his phone in front of her.
A video was playing inside it.
It was precisely when Shannon stopped her at the stairs…
From the perspective of the video, Shannon, in a pitiful state, was seen speaking before being forcefully pushed out by Ranita. Shannon then tumbled down the steps, blood streaming from her head. Meanwhile, Ranita, guilty of a heinous act, calmly left as if nothing had happened.
“Hehe! Shannon, did you arrange for someone to record this video? If I weren’t one of the main characters, I might have believed it!” Ranita scoffed.
“I didn’t…” Shannon bit her lip, looking distressed. “I was taken to the hospital, and I knew nothing. This video…”
“Robert accidentally captured it!” Amiya sneered. “Ranita, I won’t let you off so easily! I’ll hand this video over to the police, and you can expect to go to jail for intentional harm!”
“Before I send it to the police station, I need you to cooperate with something! Robert!” Amiya commanded.
With that, Robert placed a consent form for terminating pregnancy in front of Ranita. Despite her dizzy eyes, Ranita managed to read it-it was a form for terminating the pregnancy.
Was Amiya planning to force her to abort the child as well?
“I won’t sign it! Coercing me into an amniocentesis was already illegal, and now you want to force me to abort the child? Amiya, do you know the consequences of such actions?!” Ranita exclaimed.
Amiya seemed to have gone mad!
“Let go of me!” Ranita struggled fiercely, but Robert’s grip was strong. He forced the pen into her hand, making her sign against her will.
Suddenly, the door burst open.
A tall figure appeared-the man ran towards Ranita, pushing Robert aside to shield her.
“Brendon?! You…” Amiya furrowed her brows. Wasn’t he supposed to come back in the afternoon? Why was he here now? Suspicion filled Amiya’s mind, and she immediately demanded, “Brendon, step aside!”
Brendon held Ranita in his arms. He noticed that her slender arms were now more delicate, and her face bore the marks of the slaps. Though her lips were pale, her eyes still sparkled with radiance.
Brendon felt extreme distress.
With a cold expression, he asked, “Mom, what did you do to Ranita?”
