“Ah!” Amanda hadn’t finished speaking when Brendon suddenly got out of the car and angrily grabbed her wrist.
“Mr. Stuart, that hurts! Please let go!” Amanda didn’t want to be treated violently, even though she wanted to seduce Brendon.
“Amanda, are you sure it was Ranita who took me home?” Brendon asked again.
His face was icy and his voice was stern.
Amanda was frightened and gritted her teeth. “Of course, I’m sure!”
“Did you put something in my drink?” Brendon asked.
After so many years, Brendon still felt guilty.
Back then, he made a mistake and got involved with Shannon. He accidentally got her pregnant, and it wasn’t just a thorn in Ranita’s heart; it was a thorn in his own heart as well.
Amanda knew that there was nothing she couldn’t say at this point, so she smiled and said, “Mr. Stuart, I did put something to enhance the experience, but didn’t Miss Bowman benefit from it?”
“I didn’t benefit from it!”
After a pause, Amanda continued, “I have something to take care of, so I won’t say much to you, Mr. Stuart.”
After Amanda left, Brendon called Caleb. “Caleb, go to Tranquil Valley Hospital and investigate Shannon’s medical records from four years ago, especially those related to her pregnancy.”
Caleb hesitated for a few seconds upon hearing this and said, “Mr. Stuart, actually… I already have Miss Murphy’s medical records from that time. When you asked me to investigate the identification report last time, they sent over Miss Bowman’s and Miss Murphy’s medical records.”
Because Brendon didn’t ask for them at the time, Caleb didn’t send them to him without authorization.
“Send them to me immediately.”
Caleb quickly sent Ranita’s and Shannon’s medical records to Brendon.
If looked at individually, there didn’t seem to be any issues, but when viewed together, Brendon noticed a problem.
Shannon had never undergone any pregnancy check-ups, not even a single blood test! All the follow-up treatments and abortion procedures were handled solely by Carlee…
“Caleb! Take these records and personally find Carlee! I want to know the truth!”
Brendon was angry, but he remained composed, even remarkably calm.
Caleb agreed, “I’ll take care of it right away.”
Although Carlee was Shannon’s cousin, she didn’t have the same family ties as the Murphy family, so Brendon didn’t have to worry about any reservations.
After giving his instructions, Brendon turned around and saw Ranita rushing out of the hotel.
“Brendon, let’s go quickly!” Ranita got into the car, her gaze sweeping over Brendon. She wanted to ask about Shannon, but considering Ayaan’s situation was more important, she decided not to say anything.
“Okay!” Brendon responded and added, “I checked the flight information, and the soonest flight is in three hours. Don’t worry.”
“Do you have any news from your mom?”
The lack of news made Ranita even more worried.
They had already reported it to the police, but so far, there was no information at all. Alexia was a homemaker and didn’t know what to do in such a situation. Benedict’s health was still not good, and if he found out, he would surely be extremely upset…
Ranita’s head started throbbing.
“Ranita, close your eyes and rest for a while!” Brendon saw her pale face and felt extremely concerned.
“Drink some water.” Brendon handed the thermos cup to Ranita. It was his cup, his spare cup.
Ranita pursed her lips and took it, saying, “Thank you!”
Brendon was being considerate and attentive. Ranita let out a long sigh, realizing that all his previous indifference was probably because he didn’t care.
