Chapter 283 Virginia Murphy

Chapter 283 Virginia Murphy “Virginia!” Steve paused before continuing, "She's a powerful woman. If she takes her anger out on Ranita..." Steve looked over at Ranita but found that she wasn't there.

"Where is she?” Brendon furrowed his brow and was about to go look for her when Shannon came running over, panting and calling out to him ina sweet voice, "Brendon!"

Suddenly, Shannon pressed herself against his chest.

Brendon pulled away and said with concern, "Shannon, aren't you feeling well? Don't walk around like this. Go sit down and rest." “Brendon, you really care about me! I’m so touched!" Shannon blushed and acted coyly which made Steve roll his eyes in disbelief. "You guys talked huh?" Steve turned around to leave.

"Steve... he left as soon as he saw me. Does he not like me?" Shannon complained pitifully.

Brendon felt annoyed but patiently explained, "No. He said he wanted to go talk to some friends.”

"You should rest now." Brendon tried to get away from Shannon so he could find Ranita but she grabbed onto his arm saying, "Brendon... I'm not tired yet. I want to talk more with you! The doctor said that even though it's early on in my pregnancy, the baby is healthy inside of me. I'm not fragile either so don't worry!"

Shannon spoke softly while leaning closer towards Brendon which drew the attention of many people present who watched them curiously or knowingly.

Ranita had originally planned on sitting where she was but unfortunately saw Shannon walking towards her so she decided to leave the banquet hall for a bit instead.

She found an empty corner where it was somewhat quiet despite the faint sounds of noise nearby.

Ranita had just settled down when a tall figure emerged from the corridor, dressed in a suit that stood out from the rest of the attendees, immaculately groomed, exuding an air of workplace sophistication.

She looked somewhat familiar.

The woman gave Ranita a once-over, her gaze devoid of any extra emotion, yet it still felt offensive to Ranita.

Frowning, Ranita was about to leave when the woman took the initiative to sit in a nearby chair and gestured, "Sit!"

Even while seated, the woman's posture remained impeccably straight.

"You're Ranita, right?" Pausing for a moment, the woman introduced herself. “I'm Virginia. You may not know me well, but Shannon is my cousin."

Ranita pursed her lips and looked straight at Virginia as she answered, "Friends?"

"Friends? Is that what Brendon told you?" Virginia chuckled lightly and asked again. "I heard you're getting a divorce from Brendon? You two don't have any feelings for each other?"

Ranita didn't know how to answer this question.

She remained silent.

Virginia continued to smile, ‘although don't agree with 2 Shanngit interfering between you and Brendon, she unexpectedly has a chitd now. I still hope they Can be together as a family of three."
