    Chapter 20 Conflict


    Riverside Vi.


    In the morning light, Brendon opened his eyes.


    He saw a figure running towards him and, in confusion, shouted, "Ranita, pour me a ss of water."


    The water cup was handed over, followed by Shannon''s pure voice, "Brendon, it''s me! I''m Shannon,


    not Ranita!"


    "Shannon? Is that you?" Brendon rubbed his temples, wondering if his mind was ying tricks on


    him. That night, he thought he saw Ranita, but it turned out to be Shannon sleeping beside him, just


    like now.


    He heard Ranita''s voice and even kissed her, but when he opened his eyes, it was still Shannon in


    front of him!


    "Shannon, have you been here the whole time?"


    "Brendon, why are you asking like that? I took care of you all night! Look at my pale face and the


    dark circles under my eyes!" Shannon pouted in a coquettish manner. "I''m upset! You have to


    pamper me, Brendon!"


    "I said the wrong thing!" Brendon pulled out a card, "Buy whatever you want, consider it my way of


    apologizing."

    Suddenly, Brendon''s phone rang.


    "Brendon,e and save me! Ranita is hitting me, and I''m being bullied to death!" Holly''s voice


    came through the phone, sounding like a pig being ughtered.


    Brendon rushed to the scene with Shannon.


    Holly immediately turned to her support andined, "Brother, look at what Ranita did to my


    face!"


    "Hehe! Holly, are you done yet? Do you want to go back to the hospital for another injury check? If


    you wait a few more minutes, your wound will heal!" Dn sneered and turned his gaze unkindly


    towards Brendon.


    "Mr. Webster, what are you talking about! Everyone saw it, Ranita was the one who hit me!" Holly


    refused to back down, but didn''t mention that she had started it first.


    "Holly, you started the physical altercation yourself. Can''t Ranita defend herself? Brendones


    here and she''s justified! If you still have a problem with it, we can involve the authorities!"


    Brendon looked at the messy scene and asked with a headache, "Ranita, what''s going on?"


    "Brendon! Don''t listen to Ranita''s exnation, she has no shame, she..."


    Shannon interrupted her in fear that Holly might spill the beans, "Holly, no matter what, it is wrong to


    resort to physical violence!"


    "Ranita, Holly is straightforward and can be impulsive. Can you please not take it to heart?"


    Shannon paused, biting her lip, her eyes glistening with a pitiful, doe-like mist. "On behalf of Holly, I


    apologize to you! If you still feel unsatisfied, then you can hit me instead!"


    "Shannon, this matter has nothing to do with you!" Brendon shielded Shannon behind him and


    faced Holly. "Holly, apologize to Ranita!"


    "I don''t..." Holly found it harder to apologize!


    But Holly had always been afraid of Brendon. One look or word from him was enough to make her


    feel powerless and unable to resist. After gritting her teeth and saying sorry, she stomped away.


    "Brendon, let''s go check on Holly. Don''t let her anger get the best of her!" Shannon said as she


    tugged on Brendon''s arm. "Come on, let''s go!"


    Brendon nced at Ranita and Dn before leaving with Shannon, his eyes filled with displeasure.


    "Ranita, remember what I said - stay away from Dn!"


    The men disappeared into the distance.


    "Ranita!" Dn eximed, rushing to support her as she stumbled and collided with the car door.


    "What happened to you?"


    Ranita shook her head wearily and was about to tell Dn that everything was fine when suddenly


    everything went ck before copsing into his arms...
