The Divorcee Who Shines novel Chapter 267

Chapter 267 I'm Jealous

Ranita looked so cute and adorable that Brendon couldn't help but be drawn to her. He squeezed her hand and said, "You have more money in your hands than I do right now!"

Brendon had a lot of assets under his name, but managing multiple industries required a lot of liquid capital. The cash he could immediately access was barely over 100 million dollars compared to Ranita's $1 billion US dollars. She was practically a billionaire!

This amount of money could last for a lifetime if it were put in the bank.

Ranita smiled with her eyes and mouth curved upwards, truly happy.

"Where do you want to go for dinner tonight?" Brendon asked just as Ranita's phone rang. It was Dylan calling.

Brendon became unhappy when he saw this.

He quickly snatched away her phone and said, "Don't answer it!"

"Dylan is my friend; you can't be so domineering and unreasonable," Ranita tried to grab the phone back, leading them into an argument.

When they finally calmed down from their squabble, Ranita found herself lying on top of Brendon with him pressing down on her lower back. The atmosphere between them became ambiguous.

Brendon got very close; his eyes met hers while she felt nervousness creeping up inside her chest as she started breathing heavily out of anxiety.

"I'm sorry..." Ranita tried to pull away but Brendon held onto her tightly while asking bluntly, "Do you like Dylan?"

What? How did they end up talking about this topic?

"I like him as my friend," she replied defensively before adding hastily. "It's just friendly liking! Don't think too much about it."

Upon hearing this response from Ranita, Brendon's face turned cold for a moment before she explained further, "Besides... Eve likes him! I can't interfere between them." Then after pausing briefly, she added thoughtfully, "Actually... I think Dylan likes Eve too... he just doesn't know yet."

Thinking about how foolish Dylan could be sometimes made Brendon smile crookedly without any good intentions behind it.

"He really is a fool!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! He's my friend!" Ranita glared at him.
