“Miss Stuart… you…,” Brian was dumbfounded. He knew Holly could be arrogant, but he never expected her to be this arrogant.


    “Miss Murphy, can you please talk some sense into Miss Stuart? I can’t handle this situation,” Brian said helplessly. “Miss Bowman has the pick-up order, and we have to give her the items.”


    Shannon bit her lip in distress, looking pitifully at Holly. The more Holly looked at her, the angrier she became, growing more and more resentful towards Ranita. “Shannon, there’s no need to plead on our behalf!”


    “You’re just too kind-hearted. This set of emerald jewelry was originally won by my brother for you. I don’t know how Ranita managed to deceive him and obtain the pick-up order!” Holly eximed.


    Upon hearing this, Ranita couldn’t help butugh. “Holly, you need to have some perspective! I admit that Brendon won this set of emerald jewelry, but he insisted on giving it to me. Can I refuse?” Ranita’s lips curled up. “If you insist on causing a scene, we can call the police to sort this out!”


    “Ranita…” Holly shouted. Shannon immediately grabbed hold of Holly, her eyes reddening, and said to Ranita, “Ranita, please refrain from speaking too much! Let’s sit down and have a proper conversation…”


    “What is there to discuss with Ranita? Ranita, take a good look at yourself. Do you think you deserve this set of emerald jewelry? It belongs to Shannon. Advise her to be sensible!”


    Ranita grew tired of this constant pestering. She spoke coldly, “If I’m not sensible, what can you do to me? The items are mine, whether I deserve them or not! Even if I give them to a beggar or throw them into the sea, it’s none of your business, right?”


    “Of course, if you dare to act out…” Ranita turned to Brian and asked, “Mr. Phelps, tell her, how many years in prison does one get for violent threats and attempting to rob valuable items worth arge sum of money?”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Thest sentence undoubtedly shocked Holly. Her eyes widened, and she gritted her teeth, “Ranita, don’t scare me!”


    “Maybe you should ask Miss Murphy if I’m scaring you or not?” Ranita smiled at Shannon who was still trying to act. “Miss Murphy, don’t feel wronged! Brendon said the jewelry is a gift to me, and it’s mine! If you want it, you can go ask him. If he says it’s for you, I’ll dly hand it over!”


    Upon hearing this, Holly immediately took out her phone. “Ranita, wait. I’ll call my brother right away!”


    Holly made several calls, but none of them were answered.


    Holly’s face changed from red to pale, and she grew furious. Her eyes turned red in anger. “My brother must be busy! Shannon, call my brother! He’ll definitely answer your call!”


    “Holly, Brendon might be busy. Besides, he’s in the hospital. Let’s not bother him…” Shannon tried to calm Holly down.


    “Miss Murphy, why don’t you make a call? Let him personally confirm so we can resolve this matter quickly and not waste everyone’s time,” Ranita said with a gentleugh. “What’s the matter? Are you afraid to call?”


    Shannon really didn’t want to make the call.


    What if Brendon didn’t answer? That would be embarrassing! What made Shannon want to scream in frustration was the thought that if she did manage to get through the call and heard Brendon say that the emerald jewelry was indeed intended for Ranita, it would surely break her heart.


    “Miss Murphy, if you don’t want to call, shall I make the call?” Ranita pressed on. After all, it made no difference to her who made the call.


    The paperwork was alreadypleted, and the items were hers. Even if Shannon begged Brendon, that scoundrel, to change his mind, Ranita would not return the items!


    He had said they were for Ayaan, so they were for Ayaan!
