The Divorcee Who Shines novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129 Disgusting

"Eve, can we come in?" Shannon and Brendon entered together without waiting for an answer from inside the room.

Shannon maintained her gentle and fragile appearance, her voice sweet and soft. "I saw the news about your injury during filming, and I thought I'd come to check on you. How are you? Is your health improving?"

"And it's such a coincidence that I didn't realize you knew Ranita, Eve," Shannon added. Eve was also in the entertainment industry, and they had crossed paths at some events, although they weren't particularly close.

Eve, wearing her own mask of politeness, smiled but with an air of insincerity. "Miss Murphy, it's a pleasure to meet you! I'm doing quite well, thank you for your concern." She paused and then cast an indifferent glance at Brendon. "Who is this?"

In reality, Eve knew who Brendon was very well, but she was just unwilling to admit it.

"Eve, this is Brendon," Shannon replied, still with a touch of shyness in her eyes as she gazed at Brendon. Her eyes held a thousand unspoken words, hinting at the relationship between her and Brendon, both subtly and overtly.

Once again, Ranita's heart thudded painfully against her ribs, the pain leaving her breathless.

Ranita avoided eye contact but Eve tightly grasped her hand. She gave Ranita a cold look before saying, "So this is the famous Mr. Stuart? How coincidental that he shares the same name as Ranita's husband."

Shannon bit her lip in distress while Brendon furrowed his brow in displeasure. Before he could speak up, Eve continued with a sly tone, "Miss Murphy, your companion here looks quite similar to Ranita's husband. Is he someone else's spouse?"

"Eve," Shannon began to whine pitifully with watery eyes. "Did I offend you? I only came over to check on you."

"I didn't scold or hit you," Eve retorted in an actress-like voice that sounded eerily similar to Shannon's own tone. "I merely asked two simple questions. Do you really need to be so dramatic?"

Eve made herself sick with how cruel she was being towards Shannon.
