This sudden accusation left Rantia stunned.
"Holly, don't make baseless accusations!"
"Don't try denying anything anymore, Ranita!! Who else could be responsible if not you?! You've been holding grudges all along and caused trouble yourself yet framed Shannon!"
Holly pushed against the door again forcefully.
Ranita was hit by the corner of the door and instinctively took a few steps back, while Holly barged in.
"Ranita, watch me teach you a lesson!" Holly didn't listen to reason and slapped Ranita directly across the face.
Ranita dodged and grabbed her hand, her face turning dark.
"Holly, I haven't done anything to Shannon. If you have evidence, please bring it forward. If not, apologize to me immediately!"
Holly's wrist was held tightly as she struggled and glared at Ranita in anger. "Apologize? You must be dreaming! Ha... you talk about evidence? What about you? Do you and Dylan the adulterer have any evidence that proves Shannon harmed you? Shouldn't both of you apologize to Shannon?"
"Ranita, stop trying to reason with me here. Just wait until I find evidence; I'll definitely send you to jail!"
Ranita's blood boiled inside her.
"Holly, Shannon's situation has nothing to do with me..." Before she could finish speaking, a delicate figure came fluttering over.
Who else could it be but Shannon?!
She grabbed Holly's arm and pleaded pitifully, "Holly please don't make trouble! I believe Ranita wouldn't hurt me..." Pausing for a moment she turned softly towards Ranita, "Ranita, is that true?"
Ha ha! The disgust on Ranita's face was palpable!
Holly gritted her teeth, her eyes full of grievances staring at Rantia,"How can she still be my sister-in-law when both of you are divorced already?"
"Holly..." Brendon's scolding words were not yet finished, but Shannon had already stepped in front of Holly. Her delicate face was a bit pale as she looked up at Brendon, her eyes shimmering with tears. She said, "Brendon, don't blame Holly. She was just too worried! I really scared her when I got hurt this time!"
"Brendon, if you want to blame someone, blame me. It's all my fault..."
As soon as Shannon started crying softly, Brendon's expression softened a bit.
"It has nothing to do with you; don't take the responsibility on yourself."
"But... please don't be angry with Holly." Shannon stared at him innocently and even pulled on his sleeve playfully.
Ranita felt a chill run down her spine.
