“I thought it was amazing when I heard it!” Eve said with regret, “It’s just a pity about that girl. Many of Shannon’s haters used to be fans of girls like her.”
Ranita also felt sorry for the girl.
But the deceased had passed away, and no amount of regret could bring her back.
“Do you know what that girl’s name was?” Ranita paused, then asked, “Or do you have any reports from back then?”
Eve hesitated for a moment and said, “That girl’s name was Anabel Walsh. As for the reports, I’ll see if I can contact some of her former fans.”
“Ranita, what are you planning to do? This is all old news, and besides, Anabel committed suicide by jumping off a building. If you use this to go after Shannon…”
“No, I just have some things I want to clarify.” Ranita paused, reassuring her, “Don’t worry, I won’t be reckless.”
“Really? Just be careful anyway.”
“Okay, I’m going to battle online for three hundred rounds now. You take care of Ayaan.” Eve hung up, and Ranita called Mr. Goodman, “Mr. Goodman, for now, let’s not worry about the current topic.”
“Miss Bowman, but… this concerns your reputation. I’m afraid more and more people will assume you’re meddling in someone else’s affairs…”
Previously, she had left the harassment matter to Caleb to contact the police for investigation, but so far, no results had been found. Mainly because there were no leads.
This time, Eve gave her some ideas. She said, “Mr. Goodman, I need you to help me investigate something…”
Mr. Goodman had been in Kurima for many years, and over the years, he had made a lot of money for Ranita and made many connections, so it was possible to dig up some old cases, but it would take some time.
“Also, find a few skilled people to protect me discreetly. They need to be on standby 24/7 but remain undetected.”
If the person harassing her was really related to Shannon, seeing the news online would surely make them hate her even more, and it might even provoke their next move.
“That’s not a problem. When should they start?”
“As soon as possible!” Ranita said, and Mr. Goodman understood, “Alright, you can rest assured. They’ll be on duty soon.”
Ranita trusted Mr. Goodman’s abilities.
As the evening approached, the topic had fluctuated for several rounds. Because Steland Monolith Technology and Mr. Goodman hadn’t made any statements, Shannon’s fans were excited, thinking Ranita was too scared to come out and clarify.
Some even cursed Brendon as a scumbag.
Of course, given Brendon’s financial ability, these comments would usually disappear quickly.
Ranita received a lot of love and care from her friends, Chris, Makhi, Dylan, and Kora, all called her one by one to ask if she needed help, and Ranita patiently replied, touched by their kindness.
Only Brendon, not a single message.
Ranita absentmindedly read with her son, occasionally glancing at her phone.
“Mommy,” Ayaan called out, reaching for the phone and playing with it, “Mommy, why are you always staring at your phone?”
Ayaan blinked and asked softly, “Mommy, are you thinking about daddy?”
“No… Mommy is just thinking about something…” Before Ranita could finish, Brendon’s deep voice came from the phone.
“Hello?” Brendon? Ranita was startled for a moment. Before she could take the phone away, Ayaan sweetly called out, “Daddy, mommy is thinking about you.”
