Dylan gritted his teeth and forcefully shook off Brendon's hand. "It's ridiculous that you don't even know where your own wife is," he sneered.
To Dylan, Brendon was utterly detestable.
"Ranita isn't with me, and if she avoided you, it means she doesn't want to see you!" Dylan pushed him against the wall with all his might, making a loud thud.
"Dylan! I'm not joking with you!"
In a split second, the two men were locked in a physical struggle. Dylan gritted his teeth and threw a punch at Brendon with his other hand.
Brendon dodged it but got hit on the shoulder instead.
"I'm not joking with you either! Ranita isn't with me!" Dylan had long held a grudge against Brendon, and finding the opportunity with Ranita absent, of course, led to a direct confrontation!
Brendon was also simmering with anger.
As soon as they started, it was like a spark falling into a haystack, and it immediately ignited with a loud crackle.
Finally, Brendon pressed his fist against Dylan's neck and looked at him murderously, "Dylan, I'll ask again - is Ranita here or not?!"
Dylan's eyes turned red as he became equally furious, "Are you insane?! If Ranita is here, would I open the door for you?!"
Brendon looked uncertain, "Then do you know where she went? She said she was going to see her friends but hasn't come back yet."
Ranita hadn't returned home all night?
Suddenly worried about her whereabouts too now, Dylan couldn't show any weakness in front of Brenden so he coldly sneered, "Are you actually worried about her? I thought all your attention only goes towards Shannon! Do you even care whether or not Ranita is home when taking care of Shannon?! You don't know anything yet dare act crazy over here?"
Each word from Dylan felt like huge boulders crashing down on top of Brenden's heart.
Feeling defeated by these words, Brenden let go of Dylan and sat dejectedly on the ground.
"Sorry... I lost my temper earlier," said Brendan softly, his eyes dark while regaining composure once more, "I'm just worried about her."
