A Successful Career After Divorce

Chapter 187 Paityn Causing Trouble



There was an air of arrogance mixed with bitterness in his tone.

Ranita looked at Brendon in surprise and carefully considered what to say next: Did he mind?Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“You’re my wife; shouldn’t I be bothered if another man takes you out for dinner?” Brendon threw the question back at Ranita without any expression on his face.

Ranita thought about it carefully but couldn’t figure anything out from what he said or how he acted towards it all.

Brendon continued speaking calmly without showing any emotion whatsoever, “Is he really your brother? Why have I never heard of him before?”

After Ranita came to Kurima for school, she transferred her household registration here. When she married Brendon, she told him that she was the only one left in her family.

Ranita looked at Brendon, her mood indescribably gloomy. They say one lie needs countless other lies to cover it up, and this statement was indeed true.

“The older brother I grew up with, he’s like a brother to me, I guess?” She admitted that she and Jedidiah didn’t have any blood relation.

“As for what exists between us, it’s better left unsaid than said,” Ranita concluded in silence.

The atmosphere inside the car became even colder once again..

Just then Ranita’s phone rang- Olivia calling!

“Ranita!” Olivia sounded very worried over the phone line. “Where are you?! Something big has happened!”

“What happened? What do you mean?” asked Ranita confusedly.

“I’ll show you!” replied Olivia quickly sending through Paityn’s social media account details via text message: A few days ago, I attended an auction and gained a lot of knowledge.

There were two pictures below, one of Shannon and one of Ranita. Shannon’s picture was carefully taken, with her wearing a blue velvet dress and exuding elegance and beauty. Meanwhile, Ranita’s picture only showed a side profile in the same blue velvet dress but was blurry and lacked any aesthetic appeal.

Fans familiar with Paityn immediately understood what she meant to convey. With someone leading the charge, they began attacking Ranita for being ugly and wearing fake clothing. They felt embarrassed for her.

“Ranita, these people are too much! How can they attack you like this?”

“I defended you online but got bombarded with hate messages!”

As Olivia vented her frustration, a marketing account released several clearer pictures of Ranita at the auction because of the incident involving Shannon’s blue velvet dress. This sparked lively discussions online.

On social media platforms where anyone could hide behind anonymity, it was hard to tell who were real people or beasts in disguise. In short, everyone mocked Ranita, and others joined in on the mockery. People who cursed Ranita were followed by others joining in the insults.

Paityn’s media account originally didn’t have that much attention, but because it involved Shannon, Shannon’s fans suddenly emerged. Shannon’s fans mocked Ranita for trying to imitate Shannon, while onlookers questioned Ranita’s choice of the blue velvet dress, mocking her for not being able to afford genuine products, bringing shame to the country.

In the midst of the online uproar, many people tagged the brand, hoping they would come forward to protect their rights.

The internet buzzed not only with discussions about Ranita but also about Shannon and Paityn. Both gained a large number of followers – Shannon for her beauty and aura, and Paityn for her no-nonsense attitude.

Shannon’s fans, in particular, expressed gratitude to her for standing up for what was right. The incident, being related to Shannon, naturally became a focus for the media and marketing accounts, and Ranita also became the target of online investigations.

“Olivia, don’t reply to those people! Don’t engage in arguments either! I’ll handle it!” After hanging up on Olivia, Ranita wanted to contact Marlon but Brendon grabbed her finger. His face wasn’t looking good and his speech was cold. “You encountered trouble, didn’t you come find me?”
