Shannon had become noticeably thin, her complexion pale, and her eyes red and tired, looking pitiful like an abandoned little animal.
“Holly!” Shannon choked and called out as tears rolled down her face.
She cried, tears streaming down like pear blossoms in the rain. Her already pale figure seemed to be on the verge of collapsing, causing Holly to immediately panic.
“Shannon, please don’t cry! Tell me what happened, I’ll help you.” Holly forgot all about Brendon’s warning in the face of Shannon’s tears. “Did Ranita bully you? How can she be so annoying? You’re in the hospital, yet she won’t leave you alone.”
“Holly…” Shannon didn’t deny it but continued to cry as she spoke, “I don’t know what to do. Brendon said he wants to break off the engagement with me… I called Brendon last night, and he was with Ranita.”
“He’s ignoring me now.” The more Shannon spoke, the angrier she became. In the past, she always relied on acting weak to gain Brendon’s sympathy. Every time she got hurt, Brendon would rush over…
But this time, Brendon’s heart had turned cold, and he didn’t fall for her act at all.
This made Shannon feel extremely flustered.
“Holly, what should I do? Brendon is ignoring me, and now he only has eyes for Ranita… What should I do… to make it right…” Shannon cried even harder, tears wetting her clothes. Coupled with her delicate face, it was truly heart-wrenching to look at.
Holly already harbored resentment towards Ranita.
“Shannon, my brother must have been deceived by Ranita. You’ve grown up with my brother since childhood, and we all know how good he was to you.”
“When I found out you were going to be my sister-in-law, I was so happy. Just rest assured, in my heart, you’re the only one who’s my sister-in-law.” Holly gritted her teeth, full of hatred. “I won’t let Ranita succeed! She’s just relying on Ayaan…”
“By the way, Shannon… why don’t you have a child with my brother? Once you have my brother’s child, he definitely won’t bring up breaking off the engagement again.”
Holly rambled on, “Back then, you even lost a child because of Ranita. Now that wicked woman dares to come to our house? She must be dreaming!”
Holly didn’t know about Shannon’s fake pregnancy.
Of course, Shannon wouldn’t mention it. “But now Brendon won’t even see me. I can’t get close to him, so how can I get pregnant?”
“Forget about that. I’m not in a good mood; I just wanted to talk to you. I’m feeling better now.” Shannon paused and pretended to be caring, “Holly, even if Brendon breaks off the engagement with me, I’ll still be your friend. If you need any help, just ask.”
“And don’t be so impulsive in your character. I’m worried that you’ll suffer if you encounter Ranita in the future. But don’t think of Ranita as so evil; she’s not a bad person. It’s only because of Brendon that I’ve ended up on the opposite side with her…”
Holly was filled with gratitude in her heart.
She pouted and said, “Shannon, you’re truly too kind! Ranita is not a good person at all. If she was truly good, she wouldn’t have intervened between you and my brother! You waited for my brother for seven years, three years and four years… she deserves to die!”
Holly’s eyes turned red with anger, wishing to immediately go and settle the score with Ranita.
Holly clenched her fists tightly, unable to contain her rolling emotions any longer. She stood up and declared, “Shannon, I’m going to find Ranita right now. This time, I’m going to teach her a good lesson.”
