The Divorcee Who Shines

Chapter 113 So Innocent

Chapter 113 So Innocent

Other people's opinions didn't matter much to Ranita except for Brendon's.

She pursed her lips and concealed the bitterness in her heart.

"Brendon, don't say that! It wasn't intentional on Ranita's part... she might not know about these things..." Shannon was thrilled inside but maintained an innocent expression on her face, "Ranita must be feeling bad right now; let's not bring this up again!"

Brendon furrowed his brows slightly; he felt annoyed listening to Shannon's words. He never blamed or held anything against Ranita - he even thought of helping out several times but always missed the chance.

He didn't want to invite Ranita to join them because of that dress; he just didn't want people pointing fingers at him when they saw him standing next to Shannon and her.

"Ranita, you should go back first!"

With professional politeness, Ranita simply nodded, "Mr. Stuart, I'll take my leave now."

No emotions were shown during their farewell exchange.

As soon as she stepped out of the door, Ranita saw Holly staring at her with cold laughter.

It seemed like fate brought them together again...

"You dared deceive me earlier, Ranita?" Holly walked towards her with raised chin and an air of superiority.

Ranita looked past Holly towards someone behind her and said calmly, "Maybe you should look behind you." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Ranita, don't lie to me! Do you think I still believe your words?!" Most of the guests had left, leaving only one or two staff members in the corner cleaning up. They were all trained and wouldn't talk nonsense outside, so Holly was unrestrained.

"Miss Stuart, I am really innocent!" Ranita shrugged her shoulders. There was nothing she could do if she didn't believe her.

"Hehe! Stop talking nonsense. You enjoyed teasing me just now! I'll make you regret it soon!" Holly rushed towards Ranita after speaking and even raised her hand as if she was going to hit her.

Of course, Ranita wouldn't stand there and let her hit her. However, someone else was faster than her and blocked in front of her while grabbing Holly's raised wrist.

"Holly, what are you doing?"

"Chris?... You... why are you here?" Holly widened her eyes as if she had seen a ghost.

Chris was really behind her?

Holly's mind went blank for a moment. When she reacted later on, tears welled up in her eyes as if she were the one being bullied instead.

"Chris... I didn't do anything to hurt anyone!" Holly explained hesitantly, "I just..."

Ranita smiled at Holly mischievously and sarcastically asked, "Just killing mosquitoes?"

The ironic question made Holly's face turn red directly.

She still lacked experience; She couldn't withstand any small setbacks!

But Chris was here; She dared not act rashly again!

"Holly, no matter what misunderstanding you have with Ranita, you can never use violence!" Chris criticized Holly sternly, "You should also change your temper!"

"Chris... I didn't..." Holly denied immediately, "I'm just too angry that I couldn't control myself… Chris, I did not mean it!"

Holly could also be coquettish when showing weakness; It depended on who it was directed towards

Ranita remained silent and listened quietly to how Holly explained herself

"Did Ranita provoke you? Tell me about it. How did she provoke you?!" When this sentence came out, Holly froze, and even Ranita wanted to applaud him for his quick wit!

Mr. Webster, you're so awesome!
