The Divorcee Who Shines novel Chapter 51

Chapter 51 Morning Sickness

"On account of Ranita, I won't argue with you guys!" Dylan backed down, but Shannon's mind was still unsettled. She had been on edge just now, thinking that Dylan was going to tell Brendon about Ranita's pregnancy.

Shannon had probed Brendon earlier and it seemed like he didn't know anything. Now it appeared that Ranita didn't want Brendon to find out about her pregnancy either.

"Mr. Webster... Ranita twisted her ankle over at Sugar Studio, but she said she's fine. How was I supposed to know it was that serious?" Shannon lied with innocent eyes and tone. "As for tonight's dinner party, she is the interpreter we hired and needs to finish the job."

Shannon's snarky attitude made Dylan unable to bear it any longer.

"Shannon..."

"Dylan, let's go in already!" Ranita tugged at Dylan's clothes and shook her head at him. He could only swallow his anger and say, "I can't be bothered with you guys!"

After Ranita left, Brendon stared blankly at her back.

"Brendon, Ranita doesn't seem too well. Shouldn't you go check on her?" Shannon tilted her head with watery eyes - so obedient yet so manipulative.

Brendon snapped out of his daze and sent Shannon off in the car, "You should rest first. I have some things to take care of; I'll be back later."

"Brendon..." Upon hearing this news, Shannon panicked a little - would Brendon really go see Ranita? That couldn't happen!

"Go!" Without giving her a chance to react or respond further, Brendon slammed the car door shut.

Fuming with anger now, Shannon clenched her fists tightly as she watched the car drive away before pounding on the seat in frustration!

On their way over, Ranita had messaged Steve; as soon as they stepped out of the elevator, he was already waiting there for them, "What happened?"
