The Divorcee Who Shines novel Chapter 282

Chapter 282 Birthday Banquet

Ranita stood calmly.

"Let's go inside," Brendon took her hand, but she pulled away. Ranita's voice was cool, "I can handle it alone. Why don't you go keep Miss Murphy company?"

"I'll stay with you." Brendon grabbed her fingers tightly, "I'll introduce you to Mr. Webster."

Why did Brendon have to do this?

Ranita's thoughts were turbulent like salty seawater, and the wound inside her throbbed.

Diego was old but still sharp-witted and had a kind appearance.

"Mr. Webster, happy birthday." As they entered the door, their gift had already been given to the servant. Brendon complimented him while Diego smiled and said "good good good." His gaze fell on Ranita who he pondered for a moment before asking, "Is this... the young lady from a few years ago? Oh my goodness, she looks even more ethereal now."

Wyatt had a good relationship with Diego; when Ranita entered Boulderland Mansion earlier, she saw him from afar but never expected him to remember her.

"Mr. Webster, happy birthday." With professional smile plastered on her face, Ranita paused before continuing, "My name is Ranita."

Diego nodded repeatedly, "What an elegant name!"

After chatting for a bit longer, Diego chuckled at them, "Don't talk too much with an old man like me; go have fun!"

Brendon's seat was not far from the main table. Shortly after he sat down, Steve came over to greet him and took a seat next to Ranita. "Ranita, how have you been lately?" he asked.

"I've been busy working on my thesis!" Steve was busy performing surgeries while also conducting academic research reports so he was indeed quite busy himself.
