Lena’s breathing intensified on the other end.
After a while, she spoke, “Ranita, are you threatening me?”
“Mrs. Murphy is joking. How can this be considered a threat? I’m just respecting your choice! The journalists and media in the entertainment industry are like crazy when they get breaking news… If they dig up some more dirt on Shannon, it would be really…” Ranita said lightly, her tone extremely casual.
Lena was so angry that her heart was churning.
She really underestimated Ranita!
“Ranita, since you have these things, why have you been hiding them?”
Does Ranita have a bigger plan? Lena couldn’t help but be on alert.
Ranita chuckled, “Mrs. Murphy, there’s no need to be nervous.”
“These are all things from the past. Why would I want to reveal them for no reason? It’s better to keep them for key moments, right, Mrs. Murphy?”
Lena couldn’t help but admire Ranita a bit more.
“Ranita, if it weren’t for Shannon, I might want to be friends with you.”
“Mrs. Murphy, let’s not. There’s such an age gap between us, and we probably wouldn’t have much in common.”
Ranita spoke coldly, neither too salty nor too bland, which annoyed Lena.
“Mrs. Murphy, stop hurting my friends, or don’t blame me for hurting your daughter.”
“Mrs. Murphy, do you have any other advice?”
Lena laughed, her laughter containing a bit of anger, “I don’t dare to give any advice. Ranita, I still have to say, although I admire you, don’t fight against a rock with an egg, or the one who gets hurt will only be yourself.”
Lena hung up the phone.
“Ranita? What are you doing? Why have you been on the phone for so long? Is something wrong?” Dylan opened the balcony door and stuck his head out.
“It’s nothing.” Ranita smiled, her eyes curved like a bridge, and she said in a great mood, “Dylan, congratulations.”
Dylan was a bit embarrassed, “Why are you making fun of me?”
“I’m sincere!” Ranita continued, “I’m really happy that you’re with Eve.”
“In the future, you must take good care of Eve. You have a good character, are sincere to people, and will surely take good care of Eve.”
Dylan looked at Ranita and tilted his head slightly, “Ranita, I will take good care of Eve. The three of us will be lifelong friends.”
“What are you two whispering about? Isn’t it hot outside?” Eve also came over, her cheeks flushed red from drinking, and she snuggled up to Dylan with a big smile.
“Are you drinking alone in there? I told you not to drink so much, why are you so disobedient…”
“Who says I did? I only had a little bit, and I’m really happy today.”
Ranita, seeing their affectionate appearance, exaggeratedly shivered and laughed, “I beg you, don’t be so mushy. Oh my goodness!”
Eve leaned against Dylan, squinting and smiling at her, “Ranita, you have the nerve to say we’re mushy, don’t you act the same way when you look at Brendon…”
“I didn’t!” Ranita was embarrassed by their teasing.
“There is, there is! If you don’t believe me, ask Dylan!” Eve nudged Dylan with her elbow, “Isn’t that right?”
Dylan made a gesture of silence, indicating that he didn’t dare to speak.
Ranita and Eve played and laughed together, their joyful laughter spreading, making the moment seem incredibly beautiful.
Ranita, not wanting to disturb their romance, left early and went home.
