Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1037 Drugged Mr. Brighthall
Brendan was so panicked that he wanted to reveal everything to Deirdre, which stunned her and made her heart inexplicably beat fast."I-I already know," said Deirdre. When Brendan tried to clarify, she already believed in him."So, you believe me, right?" Brendan grabbed her hand and pressed it against his face, his dark eyes moist. "Never ever ignore me again."Deirdre was struck by something as if she had been poked, and her eyes were in disarray.Brendan looked like an abandoned puppy in the rain.But he was Brendan Brighthall, the ruler of Neve, high above all others. What was he afraid of? Just because of her?Deirdre bit her lip, feeling a subtle sensation she had never experienced before.The Deirdre of the past and the Brendan of the present seemed to have suddenly switched places."You haven't eaten anything yet, have you? My mom made some cookies. You should eat some first."She avoided the subject and withdrew her hand.Brendan knew he couldn't press too hard, so h
Last Updated : 2023-03-30Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1038 Brendan, Do You Trust Me?
It was unlikely Brendan would stop seeing Emily because Deirdre’s eyes still needed her help. Besides, it was just her speculation without evidence. Even if she were to tell Brendan, he wouldn’t entirely believe it.“Mrs. Engel, I’ll talk to Brendan about this matter myself. You can just act as if nothing happened.”“Alright.”With the issue regarding Brendan resolved Deirdre felt a wave of drowsiness hit her. She went to her room and took a shower. As soon as she came out, a pair of arms wrapped around her, causing her to embrace Brendan’s neck as she lost her balance.Brendan placed her on the bed and tenderly kissed the palm of her hand and her forehead.“I’m sorry,” he said, burying his head in her neck and breathing onto her. “If I could control myself from drinking, I wouldn’t have made you worry.“Yesterday… you must have had a hard time, didn’t you?”Brendan couldn’t hide his remorse.Deirdre was tired, but the thought of Brendan possibly being manipulated by Emily ma

Deirdre was taken aback. She hadn't thought of this outcome before."How could you not remember how much you drank?" she asked.Brendan closed his eyes, furrowed his brows, and struggled with the memory."I-I'm not sure," he replied.Deirdre heard his confusion and soothingly placed her fingers on his arm. "It's okay. If you really drank too much, it's possible to forget how much you had.""Sorry," Brendan apologized.Brendan leaned in to kiss Deirdre's soft lips.She shook her head, indicating that he didn't need to apologize, but her expression remained serious."After what happened today, I still hope you'll pay more attention to Emily," she said.Deirdre couldn't quite put her finger on it, but Emily gave her an uneasy feeling. And since Emily was fond of Brendan, she might do some crazy things to get him."You don't like her?" asked Brendan."Yes, I don't like her. If it weren't because my eyes need treatment, I would have wanted her to leave right away," replied Deirdr

Deirdre felt a bit frustrated, but she managed to hold back her outburst because she was thin-skinned."But if it's these issues, didn't the doctor say…""What did he say?"Deirdre turned around. "Forget it. He didn't say anything."She closed her eyes and complained about her personality. She didn't know if it was because of pregnancy, but her emotions were becoming more and more uncontrollable. Sometimes, she wanted to stay calm and maintain a normal attitude, but it was difficult to do so.Just then, a hand suddenly grabbed onto her waist. Brendan had taken off his shirt at some point, his warm body pressing against hrs from the side. His breath was hot and suppressive."Deirdre, are your thoughts the same as mine?"Brendan's hands on her were filled with intense heat and suppressed tremors, as if all it took was one command from Deirdre for his soul, burning with passion, to break through the body and envelope Deirdre, melding with her.Brendan's heavy breath made Deird

Emily assumed a graceful, innocent demeanor as she usually did. "Mrs. Engel, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand what you're talking about? I was only asking about Mr. Brighthall's whereabouts. Will you please tell me where he is?"Mrs. Engel smiled upon hearing that as she cleaned the floor. "Mr. Brighthall stayed in Mrs. Brighthall's room the whole night since yesterday to appease her. He has yet to leave the room. I believe that they are still resting now in view of their close relationship. It would be better for you to wait on the sofa."'What?'Emily took an unwilling glance at the upper floor. Soon afterward, she comforted herself, thinking that nothing would happen between them because Deirdre was pregnant. Emily took a seat on the sofa and began scrolling through her phone. Half an hour later, Brendan put on a shirt and got out of the room to get water. He was caught off guard when he saw the woman sitting on the sofa when he came downstairs. Emily

Deirdre's strength was weak, so it was almost akin to a tickle when the pillow landed on his body. On the contrary, it teased and aroused Brendan, so he wrapped his arms around Deirdre and unleashed his desire for her for a while more. Only when Deirdre assumed a serious expression did Brendan begin to get her some clothes. Deirdre put on her clothes and left the room in a hurry. "You're awake, Miss McKinnon."Deirdre only realized that Emily was there upon hearing the commotion downstairs. However, Brendan did not mention that to her from the start, and she figured he did not tell her because he did not wish to displease her.She believed that Emily had seen her panicked state earlier. "You have a very good relationship with Mr. Brighthall, Miss McKinnon. You've just gotten out of bed when it's almost noon…" Emily got up from the sofa and blurted in an envious tone, "However, I would like to remind you, as your attending physician, that you're pregnant now. You might find yo

Brendan looked at Emily with his cold, dark eyes from the side. Emily continued to speak. "I'm not stopping you from showing your affection to Miss McKinnon. It's because Miss McKinnon's blood clot is in her brain, and doing that… is very stimulating to the brain. Moreover, it will move the blood clot to a certain extent."There is only a small portion of the blood clot that is currently compressing on the optic nerve. What's going to happen if there is an external impact then?"Brendan furrowed his eyebrows. "So, you're saying I'm not allowed to touch her?"Emily smiled and said, "It would be best for you not to touch her because it won't be beneficial for Miss McKinnon's condition. However, it would still depend on how you feel about this anyhow. If you insist on it, there's nothing that I can do either.""I understand."Brendan felt a heavy feeling in his chest, yet he knew he could not be selfish with his needs for Deirdre. "Is there anything else?" He spoke in a cold tone

Emily appeared serious. "I would like to pay a visit to the location to check out the environment. Will you take me there, Mr. Brighthall?"Deirdre came to understand Emily's intention. She requested to talk to Brendan in private earlier and was trying to figure out a way to go out with Brendan now. She took great pains to do that. Deirdre would not be bothered if this was any other day, yet Deirdre could feel that Emily was using dirty tricks after yesterday's incident. "Mrs. Engel is on her way back from the market. She'll take you there personally when she's back. That would be better."Emily checked her watch. "However, I'm very busy and may not be unoccupied later."Deirdre got up right away and said, "I shall take you there then.""You…"Emily's expression changed. Deirdre raised an eyebrow. "You seem to be very disappointed, Miss Collins. Is it because the person taking you there is not the right person?"Emily bit her lower lip and forced a smile while she said,

"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. "Do you... hate mom for not being there and not recognizing you?"Sean shook his head frantically. "As long as you're here… That's enough…"Deirdre hugged him tightly, and Brendan approached, wrapping them both in his embrace.When they brought S
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1572 The Parkers is Entrusted to You
"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.-
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1570 The Evidence to Turn the Tables
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
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1569 Back to Village Alnwick
"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
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1568 The Plan Was Exposed
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
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1566 Something From Mother
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
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1565 He's His Child
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
