    Chapter 199 Venting Grievances


    "Why not?" paused Ranita before exining further, "Even if I haven''t terminated my contract with


    Stuart''s Corp., I can still undertake other projects independently without breaching any


    agreements."


    "You''re also helping Steve trante academic reports - how many more things don''t I know about


    yet?" Brendon rubbed his fingers together thoughtfully while scrutinizing her expression closely.


    There were plenty of things he didn''t know! But instead of confessing any secrets, Ranita simply


    pursed lips tightly and said, "I work hard for money – who I coborate or work alongside isn''t really


    important."


    "So why can''t you continue working for Stuart''s Corp.?"


    "What do you think?" countered back a puzzled-looking but defiantly-toned voice from Ranita which


    left Brendon momentarily speechless since he couldn''te up with an answer right away.


    Just then Ranita''s phone rang loudly interrupting their conversation - It was Eve calling in


    excitement.


    "Ranita have you checked Twitter yet? Hurry up and check it out!"


    "What happened?" Ranita asked, unaware of the online drama as she rarely paid attention to it.


    "Hahaha! I''m so happy right now, I just want to crack open a cold one and celebrate your


    vindication. Shannon and Paityn got what they deserved!" Eveughed loudly enough for Brendon


    to hear.From N?velDrama.Org.


    Ranita apologized to Brendon with a gesture and whispered, "She''s just blunt. She didn''t mean any


    harm towards Miss Murphy."


    "Who are you talking to?" Eve''s ears perked up as she overheard. "Is Brendon next to you?"


    Ranita nodded before hearing Eve''s rant. "Ha! It wasn''t malicious towards Shannon; it was


    disgusting!"


    "If he has a problem with it, tell him toe find me," Eve boasted fearlessly. But Ranita knew


    better than to let her anger provoke Brendon since Eve worked in the entertainment industry and


    didn''t want any trouble with investors.


    "I understand. I''ll call you after dinner," Ranita said before hanging up the phone, noticing that


    Brendon looked upset.


    "My friend is just straightforward; don''t take it personally," Ranita triedforting him but was


    interrupted by his phone ringing.


    She nced at his phone before lowering her head in silence while he answered Shannon''s call.


    Brendon called out in a deep voice, "Shannon, what''s wrong?"


    "Brendon, ... Brendon, I want to apologize to Ranita. I didn''t mean for the online incident to happen.


    I was trying to help her, but now so many people are cursing me," Shannon cried miserably, her


    voice hoarse, and her nasal tone almost making it difficult to understand.


    Brendon left his seat with the phone in hand tofort his loved one.


    The meal ended abruptly.


    In her room, Ranita checked her messages. Early that morning, ES brand designer Louis Wang


    posted a rification, stating that the blue velvet dress Ranita wore was genuine, personally


    modified by him, and criticized Paityn for speaking without understanding the value.


    Moreover, the designer also shared photos of Ranita trying on the dress, not only showcasing her


    ethereal beauty but also outssing Shannon in terms of charisma. With the brand''s official


    statement and Marlon''s legal actions, several IDs were directly banned!


    The critics were left speechless.


    The onlookers enjoyed the show, but Shannon and Paityn''s fans dared not make a peep.


    The heat around the topic quickly subsided, reced by other trending subjects, and the incident


    seemed to be over on the surface.


    No wonder Shannon called Brendon, seekingfort.


    Ranita, feeling tired from staring at her phone, was about to take a break when her phone chimed.


    Someone had sent her an image.
