Marlon suggested that Ranita report this harassment to the police, but since she was in Qaesburg it would be difficult for them to handle it. Instead, Marlon offered to send a legal statement on her behalf and gather evidence so they could take legal action if necessary.
Ranita thanked him and promised to pay any fees needed.
Marlon was an excellent lawyer-efficient and with a strong sense of individuality. Chris's recommendation really paid off; he was reliable!
"Miss Bowman, you can rest assured that the bill will be delivered to you promptly," Marlon said with a smile. "Get some rest."
After ending the call, Ranita turned to see Brendon, who handed her a glass of water. She had been on the phone all night, looking distressed about the online situation, but she still wouldn't open up to him. Was his help really that worthless? Others couldn't even beg for it, but she seemed determined not to let him help. Brendon felt really frustrated.
"Are you done being busy?" Ranita asked as her phone kept buzzing. She silenced it and apologized, "Sorry, did I disturb you?"
Brendon was about to respond when his phone suddenly received a video call. Ranita knew it had to be Shannon without thinking.
She wanted to step away, give her some space, but Brendon reached out and held her back. The video call connected.
Seeing two people in the frame, Shannon hesitated for a moment. Then, with a sweet and soft tone, she said, "Brendon, Ranita."
Looking at the background of the room, they should be in the same room. Shannon felt a sudden surge of hatred and wished she could fly to Qaesburg immediately.
"Shannon, is there something you need?" Brendon's voice was low and expressionless, making him seem cold as ice.
"Brendon, can't I call you if there's nothing wrong? You went on a business trip for several days and I miss you so much at home!"
She sounded soft and coquettish.
