The Divorcee Who Shines novel Chapter 233

Chapter 233 Illusion

Shannon looked ethereal in her dress today, with a small V-neck design at the heart that added a hint of desire to her already alluring presence.

Holly disagreed, "Shannon, you're just too kind. Why bother with Ranita? And you too, Brendon. She's got nothing to do with us anymore. Why are you even looking for her?"

"I just think she should come out of hiding! Her divorce date is coming up soon and if she doesn't show up, it'll be postponed again!"

Holly had strong negative feelings towards Ranita.

Shannon smiled at Holly, "Holly, don't say that! But, what is Ranita thinking? Even if she really wants to leave, she should at least let us know, right? Disappearing like this all of a sudden is making everyone worried."

"I'm really worried too," Shannon said softly but every word seemed to weigh heavily on Brendon's heart.

Brendon tried to contain his anger and said firmly, "Shannon, I have things I need to attend to right now. You and Holly should head back first."

"What?! But we have the celebration party later! If you don't come, Shannon will be so disappointed!" Holly protested. "And seriously though... Ranita has some nerve causing all this trouble!"

Quickly trying to smooth things over, Shannon spoke up, "Brendon, please don't blame Holly. She only said those things because she was afraid I'd be upset. It's normal for you to worry about Ranita since she is a woman who is also beautiful - it would be terrible if something bad happened while we were searching for her."

"Brendon, go ahead and take care of your business. When we find Ranita, we can celebrate together then," Shannon continued kindly yet assertively.

Brendon felt guilty as he whispered lowly, "I'm sorry Shannon... I really don't feel like attending the celebration right now but I'll make it up somehow."

After Brendon left, Caleb gave Shannon a bracelet worth 300, 000 dollars before leaving himself.

She took several pictures and posted them online which made some people on her contact list quite jealous, including Allen.

He was still in Qaesburg feeling frustrated about not being able to contact Ranita without risking anything else.

It wasn't until after Brenden left that he noticed an unanswered phone call waiting for him on his phone screen.
