Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1065 Miss Me With That Pretense
Emily showed up at the mansion early the next morning. There had been a drizzle at that time, so what was supposed to be an outdoor morning jog became a run on the second-floor treadmill.After jogging for half an hour, Deirdre's face went pale. She got down from the treadmill, panting, but Emily expressed disapproval. "Now is not the time for rest yet, Miss McKinnon. You have half an hour more to go.""But why?" Deirdre wiped the sweat off her face with a towel, thinning her lips. "I jogged for half an hour outdoors, too. What's the difference?"Emily smiled sweetly. "You said it yourself, Miss McKinnon. Jogging outdoors requires only half an hour, but indoors? A treadmill could never be the same as doing it outside, so you need to do more than that."The furrow in Deirdre's eyebrows deepened. "I want to take a short break.""Nope," Emily denied her request instantly. Her smile turned cold. "You're not gonna get your intended benefits this way."Deirdre clenched her jaw and got

Deirdre frowned. "Me, hitting her? When?""Her right cheek is red all over.""Her what?" Deirdre was aghast. She did not even touch her at all—the only thing she did was swing Emily's grip away. She did not even touch Emily's face. "Don't tell me she put on some make-up just to make it look like that to you." Deirdre intoned, "All so you'd think I bullied her or something."Brendan's smile widened. He grabbed her hand and brushed it against his lips. "Do you think I'll care even if you do bully her?""Okay. You've got a point."Deirdre relaxed. She had no idea what Emily was trying to do, but at least she knew that Brendan would not get lured into her bait either way. She drank several gulps of water before finally descending the stairs."Anyway, I went out just now and got you something.""What's that?" Deirdre wondered aloud. After Brendan placed it on her hand and she brought it close to her nose, she realized it was a piece of carrot cake. Her favorite.Her appetite ros

Deirdre wrinkled her nose at the smell of the rice porridge. It was infused with a strong herbal scent as if it had been mixed with traditional holistic medicine. The porridge and the herbs were blended together, making it seem like a dark and unappetizing dish."I'm not eating this," Deirdre declared, pushing the bowl away. She wasn't about to fall for Emily's trap.Emily had criticized her for eating greasy and salty food for a long time, but why didn't she say anything at the beginning? It was obviously just a way to take out Emily's frustration on her."Miss McKinnon…" Emily looked hesitant. "You're pregnant right now, and being picky won't do you any good."Brendan also noticed something odd and spoke softly to Deirdre. "Dee, don't be stubborn. You really should listen to Miss Collins. Eat the porridge, and I'll make you something more suitable to eat tomorrow."Deirdre turned her head, considering if she was being stubborn.Emily was just trying to create a rift betwe

"In this way, I will be portrayed as an unreasonable person, indirectly giving Brendan the impression that Emily is a victim," Deirdre replied calmly. "And, her motives are definitely not just limited to this."To provoke Deirdre and then be driven away, Emily's motives must be more than that.Moreover, how could Emily's motives be that simple when she utilized her position to vent her anger and resentment on Deirdre and then leave as a victim?Shea seemed to understand but not quite. "Are you saying that Miss Collins has other motives?""Yes." Deirdre nodded. "This is where you need to be more observant. Keep an eye on Emily and see if there's anything suspicious. If there's any issue, report it to me at any time.""Don't worry, Miss McKinnon." Shea promised sincerely, "I've got it covered."But then she couldn't help but worry. "But what if Miss Collins uses these despicable means to go after you?""It won't happen." Deirdre lifted her eyelids. "One chance is all she gets."-

Deirdre's eyes were icy as she said, "So, do you mean that you aren't willing to believe in others' feelings, are you?""It is not that I'm unwilling to believe in others' feelings. I'm just very clear about what will happen next. In fact, I'm looking forward to that day. I wonder what else you have after Mr. Brighthall forgets about you."As soon as Emily finished talking, she left without even saying goodbye.Deirdre's face turned pale.What did it mean for her to have anything left after Brendan forgot about her?How could Brendan forget about her?Deirdre didn't know why, but when she heard Emily's confident and expectant voice, she felt a sense of unease that made her heart pound disorderly.Soon, she tried to calm down. Deirdre was trying to convince herself that it might just be Emily exaggerating her words, but on second thought, she thought Emily shouldn't have stayed…The next few days went by smoothly until one morning, Shea entered Deirdre's room without any warni

Brendan was working in his study when Deirdre entered. Instinctively, he reached out to embrace Deirdre but was rejected. Deirdre merely placed a document in front of him."What's this?" asked Brendan."It's the result of the test I conducted on the breakfast I eat every morning," replied Deirdre.Brendan picked up the document and saw the results. His brows furrowed instantly, and his expression became colder and more terrifying than ever before. Uncontrollably, he crumpled the document."Who did this?" "Can't you guess?" Deirdre asked in return."Emily Collins?" Brendan assumed as he squinted.Deirdre then handed over the video evidence provided by Shea and said, "This is the evidence that Emily Collins has drugged the food. But I know that she won't give up unless she's caught red-handed. So today, you have to watch her closely downstairs. If everything I said is true, I want her to be sent to prison."Brendan couldn't bear the fact that his child almost became deformed, an
Last Updated : 2023-04-09Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1071 Emily Was Not Innocent
Deirdre frowned. She hadn’t expected Emily to have the audacity to resist and boldly claim that she was innocent.The toast from that day and the test report were undoubtedly genuine.And Emily had no idea about today’s plan.Perhaps this was another act of pitifulness, an attempt to delay this on her part?Deirdre didn’t care and just waited for the test results.While she waited, Emily’s eyes were red, as if she had suffered a great injustice and was barely containing her emotions. When noises were heard coming from outside, Shea, who sounded even more excited, said, “Ms. McKinnon, the report has arrived!”Shea reached out to take the report and handed it over to Brendan.Emily also took a step forward unconsciously, but Brendan cast her a warning gaze before he untied the rope and pulled out the test report.Just one glance and Brendan’s cold face showed a hint of surprise.Deirdre was stunned. Brendan’s long silence had made her sense that something was not right. “Bre

“What?!”Shea was so surprised that even her usually expressionless face looked strange.Deirdre was also shocked beyond belief. “Mom, are you sure? You are the one who asked Ms. Collins to sprinkle the powder? Why?”Ophelia blinked, looking puzzled. “Because I thought you’d been eating less vegetables lately, of course. That’s why I wanted you to get extra vitamin C. I’m very busy every day and I have to go to the market to buy fresh supplies before 7:30 in the morning. I was worried that your breakfast would be cold by the time you came down, so I asked Ms. Collins to heat your breakfast and sprinkle the vitamin powder on it.”Deirdre’s face changed.Emily rubbed her teary eyes and said helplessly, “Ms. McKinnon, as your attending physician and the heir of Collins Pharmaceuticals, I have my own professional moral compass… I find it hard to believe that I would encounter such a thing in my life…”As she spoke, she began to sniffle as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"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

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
