Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1044 Brendan's Trigger
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,

It was no wonder why Deirdre did not react at all from the moment Emily prepared the coffee and headed upstairs while ignoring Deirdre.Emily was convinced that Deirdre knew about Brendan's trigger. 'What a malicious woman!'Emily suppressed the panic in her chest and explained softly, "I don't intend to barge into your personal space, Mr. Brighthall. I have something to discuss with you, yet you are still in the study. I'm about to leave soon, so there is nothing else that I can do. Hence, I seized the opportunity to send a coffee to you so I could speak to you."Brendan looked at her without changing his expression or speaking. He waited for her to continue her speech. Emily suppressed her anxiety and said, "I checked out the farmers' market where Miss McKinnon's food comes from. The environment is not very hygienic. Moreover, she would be more suited to a low-fat and sodium diet. I'm thinking of creating a recipe myself and bringing over cooking ingredients daily so the serva

'What the heck!? How dare a measly servant walk all over me?'Meanwhile, the phone in Emily's bag rang. Emily was not planning on taking the call since she was terribly upset, yet the caller refused to hang up.She pulled out her phone and took the call in an extremely annoyed tone. "Who's this?"The other end of the call was silent for two seconds before a muffled peal of laughter sounded. "It seems that you've been aggrieved tremendously by Brendan, huh, Miss Collins?"Emily's temples bulged up. "Who are you?"She furrowed her eyebrows tightly in extreme vigilance. 'How could this person know that Brendan has aggrieved me?'"Don't be so anxious, Miss Collins. I don't bear any ill intention toward you. On the contrary, I'm here to help you.""Help me?" Emily was inherently arrogant and refused to be associated with an evil person like this. "How dare you claim you're here to help me when you don't have the courage to show yourself instead of hiding in the dark sneakily?"

'That woman.'Deirdre came to realize that it was Emily and felt surprised soon afterward."She's here again?""Yes. She was obviously furious yesterday. Anyone with a sense of dignity would understand and wouldn't come anymore. She is actually acting like nothing happened. Not only did she come early in the morning, but she even sat on the sofa to read the newspaper."Deirdre's movements of putting on her clothes halted to a stop. She found that strange. She knew that Emily was inherently arrogant. Even if she were not to give up easily after losing, she would give herself some time to cool down, to the very least. Deirdre did not expect that Emily would come the next day as if nothing had happened. "Did Emily say anything when she came?"Mrs. Engel shook her head. "No. She greeted me with a smile and asked me if you're awake. Then, she went to sit on the sofa."Deirdre got changed and ate the oatmeal spoon by spoon. Mrs. Engel was troubled. "Do you think she insists on co

Deirdre totally did it to show her on purpose…However, Emily remembered something soon enough, and a look of pride flashed past her eyes. 'Deirdre, you may continue to show off.'You won't be showing off much longer…anyhow!"Miss McKinnon." Emily shut the document and stood up. "You're up at long last. I was planning on knocking on your door if you still weren't up."Deirdre could hear the kindness in Emily's voice as if the hatred from yesterday had never existed. At the same time she was stunned, she was astonished by Emily's tolerance. If Charlene was in Emily's place, she would not be able to put up with the grievance, especially when Emily was supposed to be surrounded by suitors. "I'm sorry. I didn't sleep well, so I was having trouble waking up today.""It's fine. Women do sleep more during pregnancy, and I can understand that. Hence, I've already drafted a sleep schedule for you, Miss McKinnon. Will you rest according to my schedule from today onward?"Emily read o

"Yes."Brendan tilted her chin and lowered his head to kiss her. "Moreover, even if you don't trust her, don't you trust me? Even if it's feigned, I won't have any feelings for her."The man's kiss was brief, along with his breathing. Deirdre could not help leaning over, and her body turned limp as well as she indulged in the moment. It was what she thought in her heart as well.'Even if Emily has some plan, Brendan won't fall for her trick so easily.'She decided not to think about it and shut her eyes to immerse in the heated, passionate moment.Brendan suddenly shoved her away when they reached the peak of their passion. Deirdre was jolted back to reality and blinked innocently. "What's going on?"Brendan could not bring himself to tell her that Emily had reminded him not to do this. If he brought that up, he figured Deirdre would be suspicious. "I suddenly remembered that I have a project proposal to submit tonight. It's very urgent.""Ah…" Deirdre's cheeks felt warm, an

“Will that be alright?” Emily felt very coy. “I feel bad for troubling all of you every time it rains.”“There are many guest rooms here, so it’s no trouble.”Emily could only accept the offer. “Alright then. Thank you for taking the trouble to do this, Miss McKinnon.”Emily returned from the hallway and stayed on the balcony to go through the documents. Brendan left the study room and came downstairs. He noticed Emily on the balcony with his eyes, and Mrs. Engel explained, “It’s raining too heavily, so Mrs. Brighthall wants Miss Collins to stay.”“Hmm.” Brendan nodded nonchalantly and headed to the kitchen. He found Deirdre kneading dough in the kitchen, so he seized the opportunity to hug her from the back and placed his thin lips next to her ear.“You want Emily to stay, huh?”Deirdre felt ticklish and leaned her head to the side to dodge Brendan’s lips. “Hmm, she’s staying over. After all, she can’t leave in view of the heavy rain.”Brendan stared at Deirdre’s face. “I thi

"Brendan?"Deirdre's daze was gradually replaced with clarity after sensing Brendan's lack of movements. "What's going on?"Brendan burrowed his head into the woman's chest. "Just wait for a little while more.""Wait for what?"Brendan caressed her hair. "Just wait until you've recovered."Deirdre came to realize that Brendan was refusing to touch her. She sat upright. "Why?"Brendan was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he softly explained, "Emily said that your body's condition is not suited to… If too much strength is involved, it will be bad for the blood clot in your brain. In a serious case, it will affect the treatment.""Emily said so? When?""On the balcony the other day."Deirdre came to understand why Brendan would use his meeting and work as an excuse every time previously. She could obviously feel his passion, yet he would always stop himself abruptly. "So, just wait for a few more months for your eyes." Brendan hugged her and whispered into her ear, "Or

"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
