The Divorcee Who Shines novel Chapter 34

Chapter 34 The Same Umbrella

"Don't overthink it!" Amiya comforted Shannon. "Three years ago, Brendon was also helpless. His grandfather forced him to do it, and he had no choice but to sacrifice you."

Shannon rubbed her eyes and generously said, "I'm not sacrificing anything! It's only Brendon who is sacrificing!"

...

Ranita breathed a sigh of relief and felt pretty good. However, she regretted not being able to witness the dog-eat-dog trick with her own eyes!

She opened the trunk of the car and was about to bend down to lift the suitcase when she suddenly heard Brendon's voice behind her, "Ranita!"

Startled, Ranita glared at him angrily. "You scared me to death!"

Brendon didn't get angry after being glared at. Instead, he softened his gaze and called her a coward.

Sometimes when Brendon came home late, he would suddenly scare her like this before hugging her waist and fooling around with her in bed.

Ranita's expression turned cold as she asked, "What do you want?"

"I told you not to wear Steve's jacket!" With that said, Brendon forcibly took off the jacket on Ranita's body before taking off his own jacket and throwing it at her. "Wear this one instead!"

Ranita really hated this kind of behavior from him - clearly heartless but always giving her unrealistic expectations.

That night Ranita couldn't sleep.

The next day at work, Ranita wore a professional suit as usual, but changed into three-inch heels instead of seven-inch ones. She had long straight legs and was very slender even without high heels on.

"Mr. Stuart..." Ranita met Brendon at the company door. They were going to an auction today, and several valuable auction items were shipped in by charter from abroad. Brendon was going there for a look, and will have dinner with the owner of the auction items along the way.

The individuals who can produce these auction items are either wealthy themselves or come from well-known artistic families in the area. This type of dinner was worth Brendon attending in person.

"Have you looked over the information Caleb gave you?" Brendon asked while looking at the documents. "You only need to be responsible for Mrs. Cather."

The night passed without incident for both of them.
