Chapter 15 Staying With Dylan At The Hotel

Chapter 15 Staying with Dylan at the Hotel

Eye contact.

His hands lingered on her slender and smooth waist, and her blushing cheeks resembled peach blossom petals, incredibly beautiful. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Brendon lowered his head, his lips about to land on the corner of hers.

"Brendon, are you in there?!" Just then, the office door was pushed open heavily and Holly rushed in with her chin up, "Brendon, I have something important to tell you!"

"Holly, didn't anyone teach you to knock before entering?" Brendon scowled coldly, causing Holly's legs to go weak at the sight.

Holly pouted in a grievance and then glared at Ranita with resentment.

Despite Brendon's quick response, she still saw it. Brendon had pinned Ranita down on the desk! Ranita, this sly fox, was actually seducing her brother in the office!

"Brother... I'm just worried. Ranita stayed with a man in a hotel last night!" Holly handed her phone to Brendon and said, "See it for yourself if you don't believe me!"

Holly looked triumphantly at Ranita, wagging her finger. "I saw it very clearly," she said. "She was hugging and cuddling with a stranger at the hotel, and they even came out of the same room!"

Ranita calmly glanced at the video, which was taken in the hotel corridor when she and Dylan entered the room together.

Her face was captured clearly, while Dylan was only seen from behind.

"Brendon, I'm not accusing her falsely! She just got divorced and couldn't wait to go to the hotel with a stranger. Who knows what she did before..."

Brendon interrupted her, "Holly, you go out!"

After sending Holly away, Brendon handed the video to Ranita with a cold tone, "Did you go to the hotel with Dylan? In one room?"

Ranita met Brendon's gaze with a sudden realization, seeing the suspicion and anger in his eyes. Her heart was stirred and writhed in pain.

She explained hoarsely, "Brendon, I was indeed with Dylan at the hotel last night, but..."

"No need to explain!" Brendon paused, raised his eyebrows and spoke sharply, "Although we have signed a divorce agreement, we haven't gone through the legal process yet. I don't want any unpleasant things to happen during this period!"

"Do you understand?" He was always domineering.

Ranita opened her mouth but didn't continue with any explanation.

Forget it, he may not want to listen to her explanation, nor believe it.

As soon as Ranita left, Caleb walked into the CEO's office and handed a report to Brendon. After quickly scanning through it, Brendon returned it to Caleb and said, "Shred it."

This was his latest blood test report, which indicated the presence of prohibited substances in his blood. So, it was possible that he indeed had a physical relationship with Shannon last night due to drug-related reasons.

Brendon's eyes flickered with coldness. "Has the surveillance at Autumnhall Manor been checked? Who did it?"

"It has been checked, and nothing unusual was found," Caleb hesitated before continuing. "There were a lot of people from both companies in the banquet hall at that time, so it's hard to determine who did it."

Brendon was not one to take losses lightly, and his icy expression became even more frustrated.

"Let's leave this matter here." Then Brendon furrowed his brow and asked, "Has everything been taken care of on Ranita's end?"

"I've already sent someone to handle it. The real estate matters will take a few days to process, but the alimony should be deposited today."

"Add another 1 million," Brendon said generously as he gave Ranita everything she deserved. "Arrange a time for her to go through the procedures."

As soon as Ranita stepped into the elevator, her phone made a ding sound. She opened it up in surprise and saw that Brendon had transferred an additional sum of money into her account.

It was for their divorce settlement.

He had given her an extra 1 million on top of their agreed-upon 3 million!

Ranita knew this was his way of making amends for what happened earlier today. Although there was plenty of money involved, she didn't feel particularly happy about it.

The second message came from Caleb asking if she had time three days later in the morning to go through with their divorce proceedings.

Ranita rubbed her fingers together calmly before replying with just one word, "Okay".
