“Nothing else. Mom, go rest!” Brendon ushered Amiya out of the study.


    As soon as she stepped outside, Robert eagerly approached her. Seeing Amiya’s gloomy expression, his heart sank.


    “Madam…”


    “Don’t mention Turner’s matter again! And tell him not to speak nonsense. If I hear anything from him, don’t me me for being impolite!” Amiya spoke in a calm tone but with a warning undertone.


    Fortunately for Robert, she didn’t mention his job security. He breathed a sigh of relief and held onto his position.


    But inside he harbored resentment towards Ranita.


    Amiya returned to her bedroom where Holly was waiting for her. “Mom, how is my brother doing?”


    “What can he do? Can I change what he has decided?” Amiya’s tone was already unpleasant. She had spent years trying to keep her family in Bouldend Mansion and raise her own son into sess but he had turned against her wishes.


    “Oh… what about Turner? Will he rat me out if my brother finds out it was me who wanted Turner…” Holly trailed off as Amiya interrupted her mid-sentence.


    “What nonsense are you talking about? You didn’t even talk to Turner today!”


    “Don’t bring this up again! Do you understand?”


    Holly nodded happily at the thought that as long as it wasn’t rted to herself then everything would be fine. She clung affectionately onto Amiya’s arm and cooed, “Thank you mom! You’re so good to me!”


    “Hmph! Think about the consequences before doing anything next time. There were so many people at this wee party today. If something went wrong, it could have easily be gossip fodder.” Although she despised Ranita just like everyone else did at Bouldend Mansion, she also didn’t want any negative rumors spreading around either.


    “I know! I’m just angry!” Holly bit down on her lip thinking back on what she saw earlier which made her feel uneasy. “Mom… you don’t know that woman Ranita. One moment she’s clinging onto my brother and then next thing you know she’s cozying up with Dn and now openly flirting with Chris too?! If I don’t teach that woman a lesson, how can I get rid of this hatred in my heart?”


    Amiya frowned at the words. “Is this really happening?”


    “Of course! Forget about Dn, but now she’s shamelessly going after Chris…” Amiya had long noticed Holly’s interest in Chris, but he was several years older and hadn’t shown any interest in Holly, so Amiya didn’t want her daughter to pursue him.


    “It looks like Ranita can’t stay in Kurima anymore!” Amiya had thought it wouldn’t be a big deal to let things y out for a few days, but now it seemed necessary to get rid of Ranita as soon as possible.


    …


    Ranita was dazed and felt herself being lifted up.


    This person smelled different from Brendon. There was a fresh soap scent… After a moment of confusion, Ranita remembered that she must have gotten into Chris’ car.


    So the person holding her should be Chris!? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    “Mr. Webster…” Ranita blushed and half-closed her eyes withzy nces that were still very alluring.


    Chris’ heart raced with excitement.


    “Ranita, we’ll be there in a moment!” Chris said as he walked, his pace quick. Ranita felt disoriented, her head spinning, and her body ufortable. Being so close to Chris was making it worse. She worried about what might happen if she made a mistake.


    Ranita felt like everything was swaying, and when she was carried into a luxurious bathroom, she finally realized, “Uh… where is this?”


    Could it be that Chris had ulterior motives?
