Chapter 217 Unable To Argue

Chapter 217 Unable to Argue

"Don't be jealous, no crying allowed!" Threatened, Ranita reached out and hit Brendon, annoyed. "You're scolding me again!"

"Are you determined to make a fool out of me in front of Miss Murphy?!" Ranita's voice was soft, charming and annoyed, scratching like a cat's paw, making people itch.

Brendon found this version of Ranita interesting and lively, stirring his heart.

"I didn't scold you," Brendon said sullenly. "So many people giving you flowers, dedicating all their love to you? Too cheesy!"

Ranita thought to herself: Did you say anything cheesy when you were with Shannon?

Heh heh! Men!

"You like flowers, so I'll give them to you. Don't accept others'!" At Brendon's words, Ranita's heart raced.

Shannon turned pale immediately. She complained to Brendon, "Brendon... ah... I feel a bit dizzy."

As soon as Shannon spoke, she collapsed to the ground.

"Shannon!" Brendon rushed to help, but Ranita instinctively grabbed his hand. "Honey, I'm also dizzy!"

"Thud!"

The apartment had no carpet, and Shannon fell to the ground with a loud sound, making Ranita feel it was painful.

At this moment, Ranita felt strangely relieved.

"Brendon! It hurts so much! Can you come over and help me?" Shannon, lying on the ground, looked up at Brendon with misty eyes.

So pitiful!

Brendon, unable to bear it, helped Ranita sit down. "I'll go help..."

"Brendon! I'm also feeling dizzy! Can you carry me to the room to rest?" Ranita grabbed Brendon's hand and wouldn't let him go.

Ranita didn't want to compete initially, but Shannon was too much!

"Miss Murphy, you're too impulsive... blame yourself for this. I see your complexion is good. You should be able to get up on your own, right? My husband can't help you. I'm really sorry!" Ranita said with a fake smile, glancing at Brendon and murmuring, "My calf hurts, like cramping!"

When Brendon heard this, he immediately asked, "How did you get cramps? Let me see!"

Brendon's caring demeanor made Shannon red-eyed with anger. She clenched her fists, becoming increasingly aggrieved. She gasped unevenly and said, "Ranita, are you doing this on purpose? You just don't want Brendon to help me! What did I do to offend you?"

"Brendon, I really can't get up. Can you please help me?" Shannon bit her lip hard, leaving a visible blood mark on her pink lips. She looked pitiful.

Brendon couldn't stand it anymore.

"Ranita..."

Seeing Brendon relenting, Shannon began to cry silently with sobs that shook her body but no sound came out. It was as if she was enduring pain and grievance that made people feel sorry for her.

Shannon was really good at expressing herself; every gesture and expression could accurately capture a man's sympathy.

"Brendon... I..." Shannon started speaking softly but didn't finish before tilting over and hitting the table leg beside them directly with a loud bang!

The table leg hit off-balance causing the small round table to fall directly onto Shannon's head! Everything on the table also fell onto the ground with a crash.

For an instant there was chaos everywhere.

Ranita was dumbfounded by what had just happened.

"Shannon!" Now Brendon didn't care about Ranita anymore; he rushed over and pushed away the small round table before picking up Shannon and running outside saying "I'll take Shannon to the hospital."

The door slammed shut behind them making Ranita snap back into reality again.

She knew she couldn't compete after all.
