“Ranita, that was years ago! Bringing it up now is petty! Besides, you’re divorced from Brendon and I’m his legitimate fiancee, his Mrs. Stuart!” Shannon had no shame and her words shattered Ranita.
Ranita felt there was no point in arguing further. “Since you’re Brendon’s fiancee, then take care of him and keep him away from me.”
“You may not be as important to him as you think.”
Wasn’t Brendon important? No… he was the most important person in her heart. He was the one she would love forever.
Shannon bit her lip and spoke softly, “Ranita, how could you say that? We all know who’s in Brendon’s heart. He won’t come to you on his own.”
Ranita couldn’t believe what she heard. She had been giving way at every turn but Shannon kept pushing her buttons.
Her anger flared up and she sneered at Shannon. “Shannon, what are you afraid of? If he loves only you then why are you afraid of me stealing him away?”
“To tell the truth, Brendon did mention remarrying me so it seems like maybe he doesn’t value your place in his life as much!”
In just a few words, Shannon almost vomited blood with anger.
“That’s impossible! Brendon can never remarry with someone like you! You don’t even have the right to compete with me!”
Ranita smiled, “Well, you never know!”
Why bother being a gentlewoman in front of Shannon? It was more fun to be a petty person! Ranita continued with a fake smile, “After all, I have been married to him and lived together for several years. He’s not someone who jokes around casually.”
“Besides…” Ranita approached closer and whispered softly in Shannon’s ear, “Don’t you know that we have a child together?”
“Brendon, who is usually so cold, happens to really like this son.”
Shannon nearly ground her teeth to pieces, but on the surface, she remained meek and innocent. “Ranita, Brendon is remarrying you for the sake of the child, not because he has feelings for you. Are you willing to accept that?”
Ranita chuckled lightly, “Why wouldn’t I be willing? You all said before that I married into the Stuart family for money, that I received a substantial amount of alimony after the divorce. I think it’s great!”
“If the child’s father really wants to remarry me, why wouldn’t I be willing to accept such a good thing?”
This remark finally infuriated Shannon.
Shannon widened her eyes and stared at Ranita with anger in her voice, “Ranita, I have already said all the kind words. I advise you to stay away from Brendon. Don’t appear in front of us again.”
Pausing for a moment, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Shannon’s lips. Her face was as beautiful as an angel, but her eyes carried malice. “Brendon won’t remarry you. He won’t pass the test of Amiya!”
“And don’t use your son to threaten me! You know who the Stuart family and my family are. Getting custody of your biological son from his ex-wife might be easier than you imagine!”
“I have a kind heart, so I can take care of your son!”
Ranita’s anger was completely ignited. She would never allow Ayaan to go to the Stuart family, let alone let Shannon take care of him!
“You can forget about it!” Ranita’s face turned pale.
Shannon seemed to have regained the upper hand and smiled, “Ranita, you have more weaknesses than I do. Even if you don’t consider yourself, you should think about your son. So, when I’m being reasonable, you better obey. Don’t appear in front of me and Brendon again.”
“Otherwise…”
