Chapter 85 Tell the Truth

Brendon was startled and instinctively reached out to grasp the woman's arm. She appeared to havlost weight, her palm only feeling bones.

It had only been a few days since leaving the Stuart family, and she had already shed pounds. Herman didn't care enough! Brendon frowned, clearly displeased. Ranita held back her tears and took ¢few steps back. "I'm sorry.”

Brendon remained silent but cast a sidelong glance at Caleb, causing Caleb to nervously touch hisnose. Had he spoken to Ranita too much? Did Mr. Stuart have to be so harsh?

"Be more careful where you're going next time!"

"Oh..." Ranita softly replied as Shannon fluttered over like a butterfly and intimately linked arms wittBrendon.

"Brendon, you're finally back!"

Holly also arrived but didn't dare cause a scene in front of Brendon; she just sneaked a glance atRanita after speaking.

Ranita pursed her lips as if she hadn't noticed.

“I've been busy with work for a while.” Brendon seemed unenthusiastic and spoke in a flat tone.

But Shannon was excited like a chirping oriole, "Brendon, hurry up and rest inside! The banquet willstart soon!”

"Oh yeah! It's great that you invited Ranita to help out! Mrs. Cather and Mr. Semeraro are alreadyinside. Without Ranita, we can't communicate properly.”

Ranita remained silent. It was false that they couldn't communicate without her. They just wantedher there to witness their lovey-dovey behavior.

“Ranita, thank you for your hard work today!" Shannon sweetly smiled, looking radiant afterdressing up nicely for the occasion.

This was what they meant by being in high spirits when good things happened.

"Caleb, you take Ranita to the guest area,” Brendon had just finished saying when Holly volunteerecherself, "Brother, Caleb must be busy, and I'm free, so I'll take Ranita there. Besides, I need to talk toAnna as well."

Holly was the daughter of the Stuart family, and Caleb didn't want to compete with her for the task.Ranita followed behind Holly, and after a few steps, she heard Holly sneer at her, "Ranita, are youshameless enough to come here?"

"It's just work. There's nothing shameful about it."

Holly didn't believe her and stopped walking. She stared coldly at Ranita and smirked, "I thinkyou're here because you're trying to get close to my brother! But since you're here anyway, let memake something clear: my brother only has eyes for Shannon.”

Ranita was left speechless.

She spoke the truth, but why wouldn't anyone believe her?

"You better watch your behavior and do your job well. If I catch you doing anything suspicious,don't expect me to be polite!”

Ranita wasn't afraid of Holly's threatening tone. Instead, she slyly smiled and said, "Miss Stuart, youcertainly know how to intimidate people.”

“I'm not just intimidating you! What can you do if I decide to throw you into the pool? This is myterritory!” Holly boasted, glancing towards the nearby swimming pool.

"Well, thank goodness all you did was threaten me! Shouldn't I be grateful for your leniency?"Ranita clapped sarcastically.

Holly didn't catch on to Ranita's sarcasm. Instead, she stood tall with hands on hips, demanding,"Enough with your words! If you were sincere, then kneel before me!"

Ranita was speechless once again.

She realized how foolish it was to argue back and forth with someone like Holly, who clearly hadsome screws loose in her head.
