Chapter 139 Just Playing Around

Ranita choked on her breath.

"Holly, legally speaking Brendon and I are still married! Besides, our private affairs don't concern you!" Ranita's eyes were cold as she spoke with disgust. "Holly, if you cause any more trouble I'll call the police!"

"Fine! Call them... I want to see who will be embarrassed when this matter blows up!" Holly retorted.

Ranita was about to argue back when Shannon grabbed Holly gently by the arm and pleaded in a soft voice, "Holly please don't fight with Ranita anymore! Let's go back."

"Shannon, why should we leave when we're right?" Holly patted Shannon's hand while glaring at Ranita. "Shannon is kind-hearted so she won't argue with you but I'm different."

"If you make Shannon sad again, watch how I deal with you!"

Ranita looked at the two of them bickering back-and-forth feeling nauseous.

"Holly... don't be impulsive or scare Ranita! She didn't say anything wrong…It's understandable that she slept together with Brendon since their divorce procedures haven't been completed yet."

"Don't get angry at Ranita because of me or else Brendon will blame us later..." With her face twisted in distress and sadness in her voice, Shannon pulled on Holly's sleeve urging her to calm down before telling her to wait for her in the parking lot while she talked things out calmly with Ranita.

Reluctantly leaving after being pushed by Shannon, Holly had no choice but to walk away first.

"Rantia, I apologize on behalf of Holly. She was just too anxious earlier which led to physical contact between both of you. You also slapped her once so let's consider this matter settled okay?" With misty lashes batting, Rantia felt like refusing would make everything worse as she listened attentively.

"I need some rest now, Miss Murphy." Rantia replied indifferently without mentioning whether or not she forgave them.

Ranita didn't want to see Shannon, nor did she want to talk to her! Her presence constantly reminded her of the distance between her and Brendon.

"Ranita, you're so kind! I knew you wouldn't mind!" Shannon said softly, twirling a strand of hair around her delicate finger. Her voice was slow and pitiful. "Ranita, you must be exhausted from last night... Brendon can be a bit rough sometimes..."

Shannon drew out the last word in an attempt to sound strong. She gave Ranita a sweet and innocent smile. "I'm not feeling well right now, and Brendon is young and impulsive. He just likes to have fun. But luckily it's with you, Ranita! If he had gotten involved with someone else... I would have been devastated!" Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Ranita felt like she had been stabbed by cactus needles all over her heart.

Just for fun?

Was Shannon only clinging onto her because she couldn't get close to Brendon otherwise?

What did Brendon think of her?

Just a toy that he played with occasionally?

"Brendon has been staying at your place these past few days, so please take good care of him for me," Shannon continued as if nothing was wrong. "And later when I feel better we should go out for dinner together so I can thank you properly."

It was as if Ranita was just some little plaything that Shannon arranged for Brendon's pleasure.

"Ranita, are you okay?" Shannon asked innocently when she noticed Ranita's expression wasn't good. "Did I say something wrong again? Sorry if I upset you; my brain doesn't work too well sometimes."

Shannon spoke softly with an innocent look in her eyes as if what she said earlier hadn't hurt anyone.

Ranita gritted her teeth as anger boiled up inside of her.
