The Divorcee Who Shines

Chapter 172 Wrongfully Accused

"But what can you do about it?" Holly continued speaking, "My brother just doesn't like you that way! He has feelings for Shannon instead! Even if you were dying here right now vomiting non-stop, he wouldn't care about what happens.”

Holly's words hurt Ranita's feelings deeply.

As the conversation took a turn, Holly's face was filled with disgust. "If my brother doesn't want you, then have some self-awareness and don't cling onto Chris! Whether it's Steve or Chris, they are both out of your league!”

Ranita looked at Holly coldly and said, "Miss Stuart, please watch your words. Dr. Pearson, Mr. Webster and I are innocent.”

Ranita felt that there was no point in explaining to Holly anymore as she seemed like a lunatic.

"Excuse me. I don't want to argue with you here," Ranita said.

"Ranita, do you think I want to bother with you? It's you who's shameless..." Holly was about to continue her rant, but Ranita interrupted her, saying, "You're right. I'm shameless."

"What?" Holly was puzzled by Ranita's statement. "What did you say?" “I said I'm shameless. You can have it since you clearly don't have shame!" Ranita replied.

Holly took a few seconds to comprehend and then got so angry that she gritted her teeth, exclaiming, "Ranita, you're asking for trouble!"

In her impulsiveness, Holly raised her hand to strike, but Ranita was faster. She firmly held Holly's wrist and pushed it away, saying, "Holly, if you try anything, don't blame me for not being polite!"

Holly, who had no bodyguards with her, knew she couldn't handle Ranita on her own. Her teeth audibly ground together, and it took her a while to utter, "Just wait and see!"

Dealing with people like Holly was truly exasperating. Fortunately, Ranita calculated the days and knew she would soon be free.

As she passed through the corridor, she saw Brendon and Shannon talking by the door. Shannon noticed her first, her eyes reddening as she retreated behind Brendon.

“Brendon... It's Ranita,” Shannon said timidly.

Ranita couldn't help but feel irritated by Shannon's hesitant tone. She intended to leave quickly, but Brendon stopped her.

"Ranita... I just received a call from the police ... they found the person who hit Shannon with their car.”

Upon hearing this, Ranita looked up at Brendon and said, "Oh." What did this have to do with her?

"Ranita, the person who hit me was also drunk driving! Moreover... the police investigated his whereabouts, and he drove straight from Moon Mountain to Kurima..." Shannon bit her lip and spoke softly, with a hint of grievance. "Ranita, I know you don't really like me, but is it too much to have someone drive into me?"

Ranita paused for a few seconds. She understood all the words, but when they were combined, they became somewhat incomprehensible. "Miss Murphy, does going to Moon Mountain mean it's related to me? So those numerous guests at Moon Mountain Resort are all being wrongly accused!” Ranita replied coolly and calmly, her tone extremely cold and firm, causing Shannon's eyes to well up even more.

She grabbed onto Brendon's sleeve.

"Ranita, but I haven't offended anyone else... Earlier, Holly and I overheard you and Mr. Webster suspecting me, saying that I instructed someone to rear-end you... Are you... holding a grudge against me?" Shannon accused weakly, directly placing the blame on Ranita. It made Ranita feel so disgusted that she almost vomited.

Ranita coldly stared at Shannon and Brendon, her voice icy. "Brendon, do you think the same way too? Do you also believe it's me?"
