“Dad, calm down!” Jedidiah pacified Benedict, “Ranita didn’t interfere with anyone’s feelings. Ayaan is her and Brendon’s child from their marriage.”
“As for this matter, it actually has nothing to do with Ranita. It’s Brendon who has been pestering Ranita, but Ranita doesn’t want to deal with him.”
Benedict snorted, “the Stuart family is really capable. Just wait until I’m better, I’ll deal with this Brendon!”
“He’s engaged to someone else and still bothering Ranita, utterly shameless!”
After Benedict finished scolding, it was Alexia’s turn. She said in a softer tone, “This is outrageous. If Brendon abandoned Ranita for Ayaan, why is he still bothering her?”
“Now Ranita is alone in Kurima, helpless. Jedidiah, you should go help her immediately.” Pausing for a moment, Alexia added, “And when Ranita comes back, I’ll immediately arrange for her to find a good family.”
“So that guy won’t have his cake and eat it too.”
Benedict also chimed in immediately, “Let’s call Ranita now, I’ll personally talk to her…”
“Dad, please don’t get worked up! If your health deteriorates because of this, Ranita will feel terrible.”
Benedict naturally understood, “Do you think I don’t know? The problem is now that Lena has come knocking on the door!”
“I need to clarify one thing, what else hasn’t Ranita told me? I want to know everything clearly now.”
This time Alexia firmly stood by Benedict’s side. Previously, she thought the children were grown up and shouldn’t be pushed so hard. She thought they should let go of Ranita’s reluctance to talk about the child’s father, but who knew there were so many things behind it.
Ayaan’s father is not someone else, but a member of the Kurima Stuart family.
Benedict is a successful businessman, naturally he has heard of the Stuart family’s reputation. He never thought Ayaan’s father would be a member of the Stuart family.
No wonder he felt Ayaan looked familiar before! It’s just that he hasn’t been to Kurima much in recent years, so he didn’t immediately recall it. Benedict had seen Brendon at business gatherings, he was good-looking and very capable, but too cold to people. It’s acceptable as a business partner, but Benedict doesn’t like him as a family member.
“Exactly! We need to understand everything clearly so we can better help Ranita.”
Jedidiah was worried that if Benedict continued to get worked up like this, it wouldn’t be good for his health. It took a lot of effort to calm him down, so he sneaked off to make a phone call.
When Ranita’s phone rang, Amiya was glaring at her with hatred. Ranita was speechless, “Mrs. Stuart, you’re thinking too much.”
“Neither I nor Ayaan ever thought of entering Boulderland Mansion. The reason Ayaan and I are here is because we don’t want Ayaan, at such a young age, to be disturbed by the media.”
“Once things are settled, we’ll leave immediately.” Holding the phone, Ranita finished speaking and turned to leave.
After walking a little further away, she answered the call, “Jedidiah, what’s wrong?”
“Ranita, something’s happened.” Jedidiah, avoiding the Bowmans, lowered his voice and said, “Shannon’s mother, Lena, came looking for you.”
“What? Lena went to Steland to find Mom and Dad? Are they okay? They…” Ranita’s heart tightened, feeling uncomfortable all at once.
“Mom and Dad are okay! They’re just very worried about you. I explained to them and calmed them down for now.” Pausing for a moment, Jedidiah asked, “What about Brendon? What’s going on between him and Shannon…”
Ranita pursed her lips, “Brendon and Shannon have called off the engagement. But it hasn’t been announced yet.”
