Deirdre felt her weight leaving her and tried to calm herself down. “Put me down, Brendan. This isn’t going to work.”Brendan carried her all the way to their bed. Then, he lowered his head and rubbed his chin against her shoulder. “I didn’t mean to walk back on my promise. Had I known you’re afraid of a nightmare, I would have never gone to read them!”Deirdre froze for a little before denying indignantly, “I wasn’t afraid!”Brendan let a laugh escape and leaned close to her lips. They kissed for a while before she remembered something and pushed him away. “Go to sleep.”She buried herself under her comforter. Brendan snaked his arms from behind her and cuddled. “Isn’t it stuffy in there?”It took her a while before she finally answered, “No. So go to sleep already.”Brendan’s eyes softened. He laced his fingers with her own. A thought came to him, and his eyes darkened a little. The next morning, Mrs. Engel started her day early with a broth. Ophelia came to the kitchen in

The door to the study was closed. Sam could hardly contain his excitement. “Sir, we’ve got news from the eye specialists!”Brendan’s eyes twinkled in pleasant surprise. “He’s here?”“Not yet. But there’s a young woman who’s close to him. When her grandfather’s eyes were damaged, she brought the specialist to get them cured. She must know how to contact the specialist.”“And who is she?”“Emily Collins.”“Emily Collins?” The name rang a bell. “Oh. The only child of a family of doctors.”“Yes!” Sam nodded excitedly. “She’s been studying abroad for years, right? She returned this week for her father’s funeral. This is our chance to get her to contact that eye specialist.”Brendan mulled over it for two seconds. “Contact her. Arrange our meeting.”Sam immediately went to work. As Brendan looked at the venue and time, he frowned. He had never talked to this Emily Collins before, but he had heard of her prideful nature. The Collins was one of the most elite families in the country, w

Brendan frowned. “No.”Emily leaned against the back of her chair. “Ah, well. This has nothing to do with me, though, does it? But here’s the thing. I always get what I want in a deal. I don’t do second best.”“That’s not a problem,” answered Brendan. “I’ll give you anything I can.”Emily’s voice dropped indicatively. “What if what I want… is you?”Brendan’s eyes turned cold. He deadpanned. A beat later, he finally answered flatly, “You jest.”The severity in his eyes made her heart stop for a millisecond. When she recovered from her trance, she realized her heart was thumping. Wow. That look in his eyes was amazing. She had been so used to being the one ruling above others that she had not felt suffocated by anyone else for a long time. She could not remember the last time someone had managed to make her panic with one glare. “Mr. Brighthall,” she said, pleased. Her eyes were gleaming. “I don’t joke about these things. I’m seriously attracted to you, and I’m sure you’ll find

Brendan clenched his fists. He was strapped with choices. He nodded. “Fine. You have a deal. When is the excursion?”Emily thought for a moment. “I’ll tell you some other time. My dad just left us, see. We’re all grieving, so there’s no way I’d be in the mood for sightseeing. Still, I’ll make it soon. You can hardly wait too, can you, Mr. Brighthall?”“You’re right. Please tell me as soon as you’re free.”He turned on his heels and left without a second thought. Emily looked at his hurriedly vanishing back and the food on the table. Something glistened in her eyes—a thirst for conquest.He felt nothing about her. That woman, whoever she was, must be very important to him…Now she was curious. She paid the bill and hurried home. Her mother, Madame Collins, was all alone in the living room. Seeing her daughter’s return, she frowned slightly. “Your dad’s only been buried for a few days, young lady! How could you just leave like this? Don’t tell me you’re planning to return overse

To people of their standing, a woman’s pregnancy could be lethal news. Nobody would want a b*stard child to inherit their family’s legacy, after all.Immediately, Madame Collins shook her head. “No, no. There are plenty of young, up-and-coming upper-class men who would fight each other for the Collins’ girl. Brendan is an excellent choice for a husband, but his lover is pregnant. I don’t approve of you devaluing yourself.”“Ha! Have you seen those other ‘upper-class men’ you are talking about? A bunch of brain-dead, incompetent, useless hedonists with no talent. They can’t compare jack with Brendan!” Emily rebutted, her grip tightening so much the file crumpled. “They are no match for me, mom. Only Brendan is my true equal!”“But—”“No buts!” A thought took form in Emily’s mind, and her beautiful eyes glinted dangerously. “Well, she may be pregnant… but it doesn’t mean the baby’s ever going to arrive…”“Mom. I need your help.”-Brendan had been very tired since he returned. H

Brendan led the way, and Emily's eyes darkened when she saw that the pastries she had given him earlier remained untouched.But soon, she caught up.“Mr. Brighthall, slow down a bit,” said Emily, who reached out to grab Brendan’s arm. But as soon as she touched him, he forcefully shook her off.Brendan didn’t mean it to be that forceful. Slightly furrowing his brows, he demanded, “Don’t touch me.”Emily forced a laugh. “Mr. Brighthall, is it necessary for you to be so guarded? It’s not like I’m going to eat you or kill anyone. I’m just interested in you. Today’s transaction is purely because you need my help. Your attitude is inappropriate, isn’t it?”“Sorry, I don’t like people touching me,” Brendan apologized as his two black eyes narrowed.“It turns out that you have a cleanliness obsession. I’ll keep that in mind,” Emily said with a faint smile. “Let’s go.”Emily was polite and kept a distance.On the other hand, Brendan was rather embarrassed and tried to ignore Emily when

Deirdre’s mind buzzed as she heard her mother’s accusations.‘Brendan went to buy clothes together with Miss Emily? And they acted intimately?’Mrs. Engel rushed over, not even bothering to wipe her hands. “No, no! There was no intimacy. I think those photos look quite normal. Their arms didn’t even touch. Maybe it was just a trick of angles? Mr. Brighthall has always been very cautious and wouldn’t do something like this.”Ophelia wanted to explode in anger. “Then what about him saying he was going to the office and ending up with another woman? What does he take Deirdre for?”Mrs. Engel couldn’t defend Brendan any further.Ophelia sat down on the couch and grabbed Deirdre’s hand.“Deirdre, tell me, do you really want to be with Brendan? Is he really good to you?”“Mom, he’s very good to me.” Although Deirdre didn’t know what had happened, her first reaction was calming her mother down. It would be meaningless for her mother to know too much because of her poor health.“You’re

Emily pouted. ‘How boring! Someone has already reported it to him so soon.’Nevertheless, she had to keep up the act.“What’s wrong, Mr. Brighthall? Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?”Brendan showed Emily those reports and said coldly, “Miss Collins, I respect you, but that doesn’t mean you can play these tricks on me.”Following that, he turned and walked away.Emily quickly caught up and grabbed Brendan.“Wait for me, Brendan—”“Don’t touch me!”After being forcefully shaken off, Emily’s hand throbbed with pain, and she gasped. She couldn’t maintain her grip on the bag and released her grasp. But she ignored her bag and ran toward Brendan. “Hold on, Brendan, listen to me. This has nothing to do with me. What benefit do I get from this if it spreads?”Brendan finally grabbed her wrist with a powerful grip and glared at Emily furiously.“If Deirdre finds out, I will definitely ensure that you are held responsible for your action.”After speaking, he walked away

"Where is she?"Brendan stared at him, utterly surprised. Sean's voice trembled a bit, but his eyes held a clear and hopeful gaze.Brendan finally calmed down and looked behind him. "There, that's your mother."This was the first time Sean had spoken. Deirdre felt her mind buzzing. When she snapped back to reality, she extended her hand. "Sean, come here."Sean's eyes held gentle amazement. He was intelligent—perhaps he had sensed it on the way there. Thus, his feelings were a blend of happiness and satisfaction.He felt joy that Deirdre was going to be his mother.Being a kid, he took a few steps but couldn't stop his tears, holding onto Deirdre firmly.Deirdre suppressed her own urge to cry and crouched down, wiping away his tears.

"I was too young back then, still sulking with my father," Brendan replied after recalling his childhood.Arthur chuckled. "Kids will be kids, after all. Besides, your father was an excellent businessman, and you've followed in his footsteps. I've heard about your impressive success with the business in Neve. You're truly talented. With the Parkers under your control, I can finally relax." Brendan thought it was just praise from an elder. He was about to give a humble response when he got surprised by the rest of the statement. This made him freeze in place."The Parkers?" Deirdre was equally surprised."What's wrong?" Arthur beamed. "Don't you both already have children? Although you've divorced, your relationship is still strong. Don't tell me there's no thought of remarriage?""Remarriage? It's not the right time yet." Deirdre blushed from the teasing."It'll come eventually. If that's the case, then you are both part of the Parkers now. You're my only daughter, and he's my s
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1571 Revenge and Redemption
Beneath the envelope lay the evidence. Deirdre stared at it for a long time, with Brendan by her side, offering silent support.The next day, they boarded a plane back to Southedge. Within three days, news of the top political figure's downfall due to corruption spread like wildfire throughout Southedge, even captivating the interest of other cities.Upon learning the full story in his study, Arthur's aging face was stained with tears of regret. "If only I had known sooner... I wouldn't have let your mother leave like that."Deirdre lowered her gaze and handed the letter to Arthur. "My mother explains in the letter that her departure was a voluntary sacrifice to protect everyone. She never blamed you."Arthur gazed at the letter, struggling to find the right words.Deirdre left silently, shutting the door.-Ryker was also brought to the police station. Under Sterling's methods, he confessed to the murders. Emily faced the same outcome.All of them waited for their trials.-

The distance from Southedge to Village Alnwick was immense, yet Brendan displayed unwavering resolve."Then let's depart today," he said.As Deirdre bid farewell to Arthur, an unexpected glimmer of sadness flickered in his eyes. "Visiting your mother's grave, huh? Okay, go ahead. Take care of yourself, don't overexert.""Yes," Deirdre replied. Faced with Arthur's hesitant gaze, she felt compelled to add, "Dad, I'll be back."Arthur met Deirdre's gaze, hope rekindling in his eyes.Deirdre softly sighed. "You're my father, my family. Of course, I'll return." "Really? You mean it?" Arthur's excitement made his hands tremble slightly. He held onto Deirdre as if wanting to convey something, but all that emerged was a murmur, "Then please return early... Come back as soon as you can...""Sure. I have a friend coming over later today. Take care of him. Oh, and my boyfriend is here, too. Don't worry about the specifics. I'll explain everything upon my return."As she stepped out, Bren

"Brendan Brighthall?" Ryker wiped away his own nosebleed. "How did you manage to come from Neve? Didn't I ask Emily to keep an eye on you? That useless fool who can't even accomplish simple tasks.""Choosing to control minds with drugs all along, you should have anticipated this outcome." Brendan acted roughly. As he got up, he took the key from Ryker and placed Ryker on a chair.Deirdre clenched Brendan's sleeve tightly. Sensing her tension, Brendan embraced her to calm her down."It's okay. I'm sorry for coming back so late, making you go through this.""It's not your fault. Your timely arrival saved me from further trouble. It's my own foolishness... I let him find something to use against me," Deirdre said, shaking her head weakly.Brendan frowned, cupping Deirdre's face. "He wasn't someone easily deceived, to begin with. You've done well. I'm the one who brought you into this danger, which is unforgivable."Brendan's dark eyes were filled with intense emotions. He had arrive

Deirdre hugged Ryker, resting her head on his chest as he patted her back. "By the way, you're not curious about where I went after I left early this morning?"Deirdre realized the hidden meaning behind Ryker's words, retreated from Ryker's embrace little by little, and looked at him.Ryker's eyes, as enigmatic as ever, held a clarity that seemed to pierce through everything. "I went to the hospital."He didn't wait for Deirdre to respond. "Because I was curious why I was so sleepy last night for no reason. Any ordinary person might chalk it up to exhaustion. But I know my body too well. You drugged me."Deirdre felt a sudden chill running down her spine.Ryker took a step forward casually, but his eyes were full of killing intent. "I underestimated you, Deirdre. Your acting skills are far more impressive than I imagined. You nearly had me fooled. You deserve an Oscar. What a pity that you're now in my hands."Deirdre retreated abruptly, but she found a cold wall barring her esca
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1567 The Key
Deirdre was momentarily stunned as she watched Arthur search around the study. Eventually, he uncovered a rusty key from a drawer.Arthur raised the key. "Is this what your mother desired?"Deirdre's mind raced, thoughts swirling. "Is this from my mother?"A hint of disappointment shadowed Arthur's eyes as he nodded. "This is the only thing she left me before she departed. She didn't explain why. She just made me promise to keep this key and never search for her."Although I agreed, the thought of it weighed heavily on me. So, I hid the key in a corner of the drawer instead of treating it like any other possession. In hindsight, I shouldn't have made that promise. I shouldn't have let her go alone."Deirdre's voice wavered, confusion evident. But as realization dawned, her heart raced. "Can you give me the key?"Arthur earnestly nodded, his expression solemn. "This belongs to your mother. I'm willing to give it to you whenever you're ready. To be honest, I'm relieved to pass it o

The butler nodded and guided Deirdre to the study's door. Gathering her emotions, she pushed it open.Arthur's attention was on some documents, but the door's creak made him look up. He met Deirdre's gaze, causing a subtle flicker of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes."Deirdre..." He set aside the file. "Did you just wake up? Hungry? I'll have the kitchen prepare something."Deirdre shook her head, closing the door gently."Not hungry. I came to talk.""Everything okay?" Concern colored Arthur's expression. Though he seemed worried she might leave, he tried to hide it. "Go ahead. I'm with you."Deirdre found his reaction slightly amusing. "I'm not leaving."A spark returned to Arthur's eyes. "Then what's up?"As Deirdre grew more serious, she said, "I came to Southedge not just for a visit. I want to know if my mother left something with you before she passed. Something significant.""Left something?" Arthur was puzzled. "She left several things. Which one do you mean?"De

Brendan's eyes held a hint of pity as he spoke hesitantly. "Your mother took that item away."He gently touched Deirdre's face. "That man kidnapped your mother years ago. I don't know what happened during that time. Maybe he hurt your mother and wanted to keep her forcibly. Eventually, your mother found a chance to escape back to your father with the man's item."She left suddenly while pregnant with you, not out of hatred for your father, but to protect you. Now, that person is unsure if your mother or Arthur has the item. Thus, he aimed to kidnap both you and your father, taking his time to retrieve them."Deirdre's mind was overwhelmed, flooded with information that threatened to drown her. This unexpected revelation left her in disbelief.'My mother left my father because of me? And the mastermind behind Ryker is responsible for my mother's kidnapping?'"So that item holds significant importance for this person, enough to bring him down, right?" Deirdre forced herself to calm
