“Don’t worry, Ayaan will be fine!” Brendon reassured Ranita. “If you’re feeling uneasy, talk to me.”
The current Brendon had changed a lot compared to before. In the past, when they were sitting in a car, their private conversations would rarely exceed ten sentences, aside from work-related matters. Ranita’s heart felt both sour and sweet. Perhaps Brendon did care about her. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a transformation…
“I’m fine; I’m just worried about Ayaan.” Ranita pursed her lips, noticing a hint of darkness in Brendon’s eyes. Since meeting Brendon, this was the third time that something had happened to Ayaan. The first time, he was locked up by Julia. The second time, he was carried away and fell into the water. And now, he suddenly disappeared…
“Brendon, stop the car!” A flash of inspiration crossed Ranita’s mind, and she shouted at Brendon, “Stop the car!”
The car came to a halt, and Ranita anxiously asked, “Give me Holly’s phone number!”
Brendon didn’t say anything and handed her the phone number. Ranita immediately dialed it.
Holly answered quickly, as if she knew it was her, and her tone was disdainful. “Ranita? Do you have something to say?”
“Holly, what did you mean by your words earlier? What did you do to my son?” Ranita asked, her heart pounding in her throat. She clenched her fingers, nervously awaiting a reply.
“Why do I care if something happens to your son, Ranita?” In just one sentence, Holly exposed herself.
Even Brendon’s face turned serious, his brows furrowing.
He was about to speak, but Ranita quickly reached out and covered his mouth, signaling him not to say anything. Then she said to Holly, “Holly, I never mentioned that something happened to my son. How did you know?”
“I… I don’t know! I’ve never even seen your son. What could I possibly do to him?” Holly’s tone was impatient. “Ranita, you have no evidence. Don’t falsely accuse people!”
Ranita suppressed her anger. “Holly, you don’t need to lie to me. My son is missing in Steland. My family has already reported it to the police and obtained surveillance footage…”
As soon as she mentioned surveillance footage, Holly began to panic, and her voice started to tremble. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about!”
“Don’t understand? Weren’t you feeling so smug just now? I thought you had the guts! Turns out you’re just a cowardly fool…” Ranita truly had Holly cornered. Holly was enraged and angrily retorted, “Who are you calling a cowardly fool? Who’s the fool here?”
“Let me tell you, I took your son away. He’s at Boulderland Mansion now. What can you do to me?” Holly admitted directly, and Ranita felt a sense of relief.
Although Ayaan was at Boulderland Mansion, knowing his whereabouts was better than knowing nothing at all.
“Miss Stuart, you do indeed dare to act boldly!” Ranita sneered. “If my son is harmed in the slightest, be prepared to go to jail!”
“Are you daring me? That kid is also my brother’s son. What’s wrong with him coming to Boulderland Mansion? Ranita, if you have the ability, come to Boulderland Mansion and take the child away!” Holly had just brought the child back this afternoon. The child did resemble Brendon, and Amiya didn’t say she disliked him or liked him. In any case, she treated him as a young master.
“Just you wait!” Ranita hung up the phone, looking annoyed at Brendon. “You heard it, Holly took Ayaan to Boulderland Mansion.”
Brendon had a splitting headache.
Holly was truly foolish! What was she thinking, bringing Ayaan from Steland to Kurima…
