A Successful Career After Divorce

Ranita was groggy at the time, and being kissed by Brendon made her mind even more muddled. She didn’t hear what Brendon was whispering in her ear.

“How do I know?” Jedidiah’s angry voice rose, “Not only do I know, but everyone in the banquet hall knows!”

Huh?

Ranita’s head was spinning, and then she felt a chill down her spine.

She seemed to remember that last night, when Brendon was holding her and kissing her, the lights suddenly went out around them, and then Brendon mentioned something about a camera?

A camera?

Those three words had a strong impact.

Ranita instantly thought of many things. Could it be… She asked with difficulty, “Jedidiah, could it be that Brendon and I were caught on camera?”

“Not just caught on camera! The rest room you went into had a camera connected to the big screen in the banquet hall!”

Ranita’s ears buzzed, and she almost fainted from the shock!

“What?”

Didn’t that mean everyone in the banquet hall saw her and Brendon kissing? Oh my god! Ranita swallowed hard, her face burning with embarrassment, not knowing how to explain to Jedidiah.

“Where are you now? Come home immediately! We’ll talk about this at home!” After a pause, Jedidiah seemed to calm down a bit. He softened his tone and asked, “Are you alright?”

“I’m… fine…” Ranita bit her lip, “I’ll come home right away.”

Ranita hung up the phone, and Brendon immediately handed her the washed dress. “Put it on, I’ll take you home.”

Brendon remained calm.

In the car, he asked again, “Do you need me to go with you?”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“No!” Ranita gritted her teeth, her eyes red as she looked at Brendon. “Did you know we were caught on camera last night? Not only caught on camera but also live-streamed.”

“Live-streamed what?” When he saw the camera, Brendon knew it wasn’t that simple. He had already asked someone to investigate and believed there would be results soon.

“Just… the scene of us kissing…” Ranita found it hard to continue. What happened between her and Brendon was very private, and having it broadcast on a big screen was incredibly humiliating!

Just thinking about it made Ranita feel suffocated.

“Ranita…” Brendon freed one hand to hold her fingers, glancing at her with tenderness in his eyes. He said, “We’re in a relationship, you know that?”

“Kissing between lovers is normal!” He paused, “If you want to shut them up for good, we could make our relationship more official.”

Ranita: …

Brendon was trying to trick her again!

She wasn’t going to fall for it!

“You don’t need to be shy!” Brendon frowned and added, “I’ll get to the bottom of this!”

Ranita knew that, but she felt guilty about Bowman’s Mansion parents seeing it.

Would they think poorly of her character?

Or feel embarrassed by her actions?

When she returned to Bowman’s Mansion, Ranita didn’t let Brendon follow her in but went in alone. Everyone was there except Ayaan, who had been taken back to his room by the servants.

“Dad, Mom, Brother… Sister…” Ranita glanced cautiously at Benedict and Alexia. Ever since Chole came back, she had lost her sense of security deep down.

She feared being abandoned by her family, afraid of becoming a child without a home.

“Ranita, explain what happened?” Alexia’s face was pale with anger, and her eyes were filled with disappointment as she looked at Ranita.
