"Miss, I know I was wrong!" Addyson tried to shift the blame, making excuses, "Ranita was too much. She said that I was just a servant of Boulderland Mansion and she was a guest, so it's only right for me to be respectful towards her! And before, she gave me a bag as a gift but now she's threatening to accuse me of stealing it and even saying she'll call the police on me. I had no choice but to do what I did."
"What?" Holly's attention was indeed diverted as she smirked, "You're a servant of Boulderland Mansion, not hers! She really has some nerve!"
"That's right! When I asked her to leave quickly, she threatened me and even said that she would take me to the police station. Miss, you have to help me out!" Addyson wiped away tears and snot while playing up her innocence.
Holly let Addyson off this time and directed her anger towards Ranita instead.
"Addyson, enough! This time it's not your fault!" Holly sighed in relief. "But let me warn you, if you dare act like an obedient dog again next time, then don't blame me for being merciless!"
Addyson escaped punishment this time but her resentment towards Ranita reached its peak.
If given the chance, she would definitely make Ranita pay!
At another villa in Boulderland Mansion, Shannon complained tearfully to Amiya, "... Auntie, I really hate Ranita. She acts obediently in front of you and Brendon but bullies me behind your backs!"
Amiya believed every word Shannon said without hesitation.
"How dare Ranita treat you like that? She must have some nerve!" Amiya slammed the table in anger. "Don't worry about anything else. Focus on preparing for your concert during this period of time and leave everything else up to me! By the way... since you've come back home after such a long absence... I'm planning on hosting a welcome banquet for you here if ours isn't convenient."
