“Ranita!”
Brendon held her hand, and the warmth of his touch made Ranita’s heart calm down. She looked into Brendon’s eyes, her eyes reddening.
“Brendon…”
“Calm down! Ranita, don’t panic! I’m here for you!” Brendon gently rubbed her back with the back of his hand. His voice was soft and low, as if soothing a child.
Brendon’s voice seemed to have a magical effect, gradually calming Ranita’s chaotic mind.
She immediately called Chloe, who had a bad attitude, “What do you want?”
“Sis, something happened at home, and Mom is not in a good state. Can you go back and check on her?”
Chloe snorted coldly, “Ranita, what trouble have you caused this time?”
“Sis…”
“Enough, I’m not your sister! Mom and Dad are my parents too. I’ll go back and check on them.”
Chloe hung up without being polite, but Ranita didn’t call Jedidiah. He was busy with an important project, and he wasn’t in Steland at the moment, so he couldn’t help much.
“Take me back to the hotel first, and then I’ll go to the airport with my documents.”
“Okay! I’ll go to Steland with you.” Brendon felt anxious when he heard that their son was missing.
While packing her things, Ranita called Olivia and asked her to continue handling the follow-up matters on this side.
Just as she hung up the phone, Marlon called.
“Miss Bowman, I have good news!” Marlon sounded excited. “I found someone inside Tranquil Valley Private Hospital who searched the medical records and found Shannon’s records from that year.”
“It turns out Shannon never had a pregnancy check-up. All the documents were handled by Carlee alone.”
Ranita frowned, “Mr. Goodman, are you saying…”
She felt her heart racing.
“Miss Bowman, I had professionals examine the medical records, and it’s possible that those records are fake.”
Ranita’s heart beat faster, “Are you saying Shannon was never pregnant!?”
“It’s highly possible! I have kept all the materials. Let’s meet Carlee, and the truth will come to light.” This was indeed good news for Ranita, but right now…
“Mr. Goodman, I have an urgent matter and need to go to Steland. We might have to postpone dealing with this for a bit.”
Ranita didn’t want to leave this matter unresolved, but Ayaan’s situation was more important right now.
At the hotel entrance, Brendon was waiting for Ranita when the car window suddenly tapped.
“Hey! Mr. Stuart, long time no see!” A blonde beauty smiled at him with a pair of captivating eyes. “You’re still as handsome as ever!”
“You’re… Amanda?” Brendon had a good memory and remembered that this woman used to be Rashid’s translator.
“Thank you, Mr. Stuart, for remembering me! By the way, where’s that beautiful woman by your side? I don’t see her…” Amanda smiled, but her eyes kept falling on Brendon’s chest. She flirtatiously curled her lips and asked, “Do you have time to have a drink tonight?”
Brendon had no interest at all.
“I’m sorry, I’m not interested in you.” Brendon rejected her directly.
“Mr. Stuart, you’re really no fun! After all these years, are you still not tired of Miss Bowman?” Amanda paused and hinted with a suggestive tone, “Is she particularly skilled in bed?”
Brendon frowned, about to get angry, but suddenly remembered something. “Amanda, who took me home that night four years ago when we were discussing the project?”
Amanda shrugged and raised an eyebrow with a smile. “Mr. Stuart, you have a great sense of humor. Of course, it was Miss Bowman who took you home that night. Didn’t you two have a passionate night together…”
