“Exactly, she cried and you should apologize to her!”
Ranita couldn’t ignore Shannon anymore. She lifted her eyes, gave Shannon a cold look and spoke in a monotone voice.
“Miss Murphy, Holly insulted my friend with vulgar language. I lost control and hit her, which was wrong of me. But I won’t apologize because Holly deserved it.”
Pausing for a moment, Ranita looked at the bystanders who didn’t know the truth and said, “If your friend was insulted like mine was, wouldn’t you defend them?”
The crowd fell silent.
Just then Brendon arrived!
With his natural aura of authority and icy face that could scare anyone away.
Holly didn’t even dare cry when she saw him.
“Brendon… you’re back! Holly…,” Shannon wanted to add fuel to the fire but Brendon interrupted, “I know what happened. It’s Holly’s fault.”
“Is that so?” Shannon gritted her teeth, clearly feeling embarrassed. But quickly, she put on a different face, becoming gentle and sweet, leaning against Brendon as soon as he sat down. “Brendon, I’m sorry! I helped without understanding the situation and almost wrongly accused Ranita!”
Shannon bit her lip, speaking with a plaintive tone, “Ranita, I’m sorry… It was my fault. Please don’t be angry.”
Ranita turned her head without responding, standing there, torn between whether or not to sit next to Brendon.
It’s really frustrating!
Seeing that Ranita ignored her, Shannon immediately looked at Brendon with teary eyes and choked voice, “Brendon, why is Ranita ignoring me? I really didn’t mean it earlier. I didn’t expect to make Ranita angry again… Am I useless?”
Brendon, still agitated, listened to Shannon’s incessant chatter and furrowed his brow, saying, “I don’t know.”
Shannon felt anxious being blocked like that. She had originally wanted Brendon to comfort her so that Ranita could understand. But the result…
Shannon was so frustrated she felt like spitting blood.
“Brendon… Are you saying I’m useless? I’m so sad! How could you say that about me!” Shannon’s soft and sweet voice was truly sickening.
Ranita didn’t want to listen, but she was forced to endure her entire monologue, feeling nauseous in her stomach.
Brendon was distracted, casually responding, “Sit properly and stop talking.”
“Oh! Okay!” Shannon obediently complied, but her expression was filled with disappointment. How could any man not feel sorry for her!
Ranita lowered her eyelashes, waiting for Brendon’s reaction.
After quite a while, Brendon didn’t show any response. He was busy playing with his phone, seemingly occupied with something.
Ranita felt secretly pleased.
“Aren’t you going to sit?” Suddenly, the man lifted his head and glanced at her, lightly pointing to the seat beside him with his slender fingers.
Ranita felt awkward and torn, like a thorn in her back.
Brendon raised an eyebrow at her, his gaze carrying a hint of icy threat…
Ranita was genuinely afraid that he would do something out of line, so she reluctantly sat next to him. The seats were not far apart, and his long legs were particularly prominent. If she leaned slightly, they would touch her legs.
What bothered Ranita the most was that the scoundrel Brendon even reached out and pinched her waist.
It was both ticklish and hot.
Ranita’s heart pounded like a drum, the tiny stimulation making her body tense all over! It wasn’t that she was making a big deal out of nothing, but this kind of public display of affection, under everyone’s gaze, seemed like an affair. It not only accelerated Ranita’s heartbeat but also made her mind feel a bit heated.
