Compared to Shannon, Caleb preferred Ranita.
Ranita was a good wife and a good colleague. Caleb had seen how she went all out for Brendon, and he admired her for it. He had once felt sorry for her.
He pitied Ranita because she had run into a wall named Brendon. The previous Brendon was cold and heartless, and being his wife couldn’t have been easy. Caleb truly sympathized with Ranita at that time.
“No need! Gather all the necessary information,” Brendon said coldly before turning to leave.
Ranita wasn’t in a good mood.
She was afraid of overthinking things, so she turned on her computer and busied herself with work. But she couldn’t focus and do a good job.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
It was Jedidiah calling, sounding anxious. “Ranita, I heard you found Ayaan? What’s going on?”
Jedidiah had probably been unable to reach her while on the plane.
“Brother…” Ranita didn’t want Jedidiah to worry, but if she didn’t explain clearly, he would probably be frantic. She hesitated and listened to Jedidiah say, “Ranita, I’m family. Don’t hide things from me.”
“It’s Holly…” Ranita paused and explained the situation. After listening, Jedidiah’s voice carried anger. “Has Brendon gone too far? How dare he do this!”
“I’m going to Kurima right now to get justice for you.”
Ranita pursed her lips and spoke kindly of Brendon. “Brother, it’s not Brendon’s fault. He didn’t know…”
“Hmph! Isn’t Holly his sister? And Amiya wants to take Ayaan away too. They’re daydreaming…” Jedidiah was a polite person and couldn’t come up with any harsh words, but he was definitely furious.
“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Brendon is definitely not a good person!”
Ranita felt that Brendon was being wrongly accused.
If it weren’t for Brendon standing by her side, it wouldn’t have been so easy to bring Ayaan back!
“Brother, this situation has nothing to do with Brendon…” Ranita was about to continue, but Jedidiah interrupted angrily, “Don’t speak up for him!”
“Wait for me. I’ll go to Kurima right away.” After a pause, Jedidiah added, “I’ll bring Augustus along. He has experience…”
Ranita’s vision went dark.
What does experience have to do with this!
“Brother, please don’t do anything reckless! Kurima isn’t Steland. If something happens to you, what should I do…” Ranita pleaded and said, “Brother, please calm down! I… I’m here, I won’t let anyone bully Ayaan, and I’m not that easy to bully!”
Ranita didn’t dare mention Brendon, afraid that Jedidiah would get angry again.
“Dad’s health is not good, and Mom was frightened. Go back and check on them first! I’ll handle things here!” After a pause, Ranita said very systematically, “The person in charge at Gauss Technology used to be my senior in school. Communication with work is relatively easy. I estimate that in two more days, I’ll be able to handle things, and then I’ll bring Ayaan home directly.”
Jedidiah still wasn’t satisfied. “Don’t mention work to me. Holly took Ayaan directly, and that can be considered child trafficking. I can’t let it slide!”
Ranita had also considered reporting to the police and teaching Holly a lesson. But Ayaan was indeed Brendon’s son, and in terms of blood relation, he was also related to Holly and Amiya…
If it really escalated to the police, it would probably be treated as a family dispute in the end.
