The photo showed a man with a radiant smile, his eyebrows and eyes full of confidence, bearing a resemblance to him, but not quite him.
In an instant, Brendon felt like he had been stabbed in the heart. He recognized the person in the photo-it was Makhi.
Makhi in the photo was still young, wearing a white shirt, with the backdrop of Kurima Foreign Studies University. It must have been taken before he went abroad, about ten years ago.
Hidden for ten years.
So Makhi was the person she had liked for so many years?
“Brendon, come out and have breakfast,” the woman’s voice came, bringing Brendon back to his senses.
He put the photo back in place, closed the album, and got up to leave.
Ayaan was chattering away, and Ranita would occasionally look at him and smile, her eyes forming a bridge, reflecting his image. But Brendon couldn’t feel happy. He couldn’t help but sadly wonder, was she seeing him or Makhi in her eyes?
“What’s wrong with you?” Ranita noticed his expression wasn’t quite right and asked worriedly, “Are you feeling unwell?”
“No…” Brendon replied casually, “Are you going to Gauss Technology later?”
“Yeah! I have some work to discuss.”
“You and Makhi… nothing’s going on, right?”
Why did it sound strange? Ranita didn’t feel quite comfortable, but she couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Ranita didn’t have much time to think, she still had work to do. After breakfast, she hurriedly reminded Ayaan a few things and went to Gauss Technology.
“… National Goddess Shannon holds a press conference today, announcing her exit from the entertainment circle…”
After finishing the meeting with Gauss Technology, Ranita finally learned about the entertainment news that had been buzzing all morning.
Ayaan stayed at home, and Olivia came out with her.
When Olivia handed her the phone, Ranita had a hard time believing it…
There were pictures, videos, and the seal of the other party’s studio.
Shannon not only exited the entertainment circle.
She also wrote down the reason for her exit-health issues requiring rest! This reason, which sparked many speculations, left her fans very dissatisfied, constantly asking for the real reason.
Ranita didn’t care about Shannon’s reasons for leaving the industry. She immediately called Chole, “Chole, do you know about Shannon’s exit from the entertainment circle?”
“Her agent has already informed me. Shannon announced her exit, but she will fulfill the contracted work. Shannon will help the company complete the final promotional videos. You stay in Kurima and supervise for now.” Chole smiled, “My good sister, you’re capable, you shouldn’t refuse this, right?”
Ranita pursed her lips, “Wasn’t it decided to send Shannon to Steland for filming?”
“She paid for the rental of her own studio, so we can’t be too forceful, can we?” Chole’s words were full of ill intentions. “Ranita, you’re quite impressive. You managed to push her to exit the industry and compete with you for her fiancé. Shannon is a member of the Murphy family. I advise you to think twice before doing anything, and if you cause any harm to the company, how will you explain it to your parents who raised and nurtured you?”
“But then again, you’ve always been a brown-noser.”
Ranita held back her emotions, feeling very depressed.
“Chole, I don’t want to argue with you! I will handle Shannon’s matter properly, you don’t need to worry.” Just as Ranita hung up the phone, a stylish sports car stopped in front of her, and Holly rushed toward her in a fit of anger.
“Ranita, you shameless bitch!”
