Ranita couldn’t control her racing heart. It was sour, yet filled with an unexpected anticipation.
“Is it something to do with you?” Ranita pushed his hand away. “If you bother me again, I’ll call the police!”
Ranita ran away.
She went inside the house, her heart still beating wildly.
“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Ayaan ran over and asked innocently. “Did Uncle Pearson go on a plane?”
“Uh-huh…” Ranita crouched down and hugged Ayaan. “Let’s read your favorite comic book together.”
Ranita kept her worries to herself and frequently drifted off into thought.
“Mommy…”
“Huh?” It took Ranita a while to react before asking, “What’s up?”
Although he was young, Ayaan understood many things. He pouted and asked, “Mommy, why are you not happy? Is it because Uncle Pearson left? Do you miss him too? But Uncle Pearson went to save people; he is a hero.”
Ranita didn’t know what to say. Her worries were only related to Brendon.
“I’m fine! I’m just thinking about something.” After a pause, Ranita hesitantly asked, “Ayaan, do you like… Brendon?”
Forget it, forget it! Ranita didn’t want to explain again why his deceased father had come back to life. She changed the subject, “How about having sandwiches tomorrow morning?”
“Okay!” Ayaan nodded and affectionately kissed Ranita, “Mommy, if you feel tired, I can go to sleep.”
After settling Ayaan, Ranita received a call from a hotel in Berlin, saying that they had a letter for her and she needed to come and pick it up.
Ranita couldn’t think of who would send her something.
Fortunately, Brown was still in Berlin, so Ranita asked him to stop by the hotel on his way to the airport.
The next day, Ranita received the letter.
It was light. When she opened it, there was a small SIM card inside with a video. It was self-recorded by Julia. “Ranita, don’t doubt it, this video is for you.”
“By the time you receive this, I might be in trouble. Although I am very unwilling, in the end, I decided to do a good deed once. I locked up your son in the prop room, thinking of him dying, not to retaliate against Brendon, not because I hate you, but because Shannon told me to do it.”
“She is the real culprit. Ranita, you have the ability to seek revenge on her!”
Julia’s video wasn’t very long, just ending with a creepy smile. Ranita could roughly guess Julia’s intentions, nothing more than trying to instigate her to deal with Shannon.
However, this tactic was indeed effective.
Ranita’s heart couldn’t calm down for a long time.
She had been retreating repeatedly, but Shannon kept pushing her luck, and she was starting to lose her patience. Ranita clenched her fist, feeling a surging anger within her.
She didn’t want trouble, but Ayaan was Brendon’s child, and his existence was enough to drive Shannon crazy.
“Ring, ring, ring!” Just then, her phone rang.
It was Marlon calling.
She walked to the balcony to answer the call. “Mr. Goodman, how have you been lately?”
“Not bad!” After a pause, Marlon began to discuss business matters with her. Previously, Ranita had money on hand, and most of it was invested. These investments were managed by professionals, and Marlon and Elliot were helping as legal advisors.
Ranita was actually quite wealthy.
However, she was used to working and didn’t want to sit idle and let her mind wander. That was why she returned to the translation profession.
