Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1076 The Bread Was Tampered With
“Shut up!" Deirdre didn't want to put on a show for Emily anymore. "What does my business with Brendan have to do with you, an outsider?"Emily’s face turned pale. She looked over at Brendan, who remained unresponsive. Hence, she could only swallow her displeasure.After all, Deirdre wouldn’t be smug for long."I just wanted to warn you, but if you don’t like it, then I won't say anything else," Emily said. Brendan's gaze remained fixed on Deirdre's face, and after a moment, he asked, "Do you really want to know?"“Really.”“Okay, but don’t you dare cover up for Shea regarding the result." Deirdre's face turned slightly pale. She was wondering what Brendan meant and what Shea had done?“If Shea did something wrong, I certainly won’t cover up for her. But the point is, what exactly did she do wrong?” Deirdre frowned.“Do you remember the report you gave me?” Brendan asked. Deirdre nodded. That was the report Shea had tested, which listed the ingredients used by Emily to d

“Ms. McKinnon… In the video, the bread given by Shea was indeed intact,” Sam replied.Deirdre gasped.She began to wonder whether she had been deceived and whether Shea was one of the bad guys.No, Emily was definitely not innocent. This entire series of events had been completely orchestrated by her. How could Shea have followed Emily's instructions?Unless the two of them were in cahoots… However, if Shea and Emily were in cahoots, they could have done much more to benefit themselves. They could have sacrificed Shea to elevate Emily’s position in Brendan's heart, although no normal person would make such a trade.“Sam, can you tell me about all the angles of the bread in that video?" Deirdre asked."At the beginning of the video, Shea was holding the bread when she showed up in the lobby. However, at the time, the shape of the bread couldn't be seen clearly. It was only after the bread was handed over to the staff that it was confirmed to be intact," Sam explained.“So, the

Brendan squinted his eyes. "The reason is simple. She slandered Emily, and your eyes will never recover."Tears welled up in Shea's eyes. “No, Mr. Brighthall, I didn’t do it!”“You didn’t? Then how do you explain this?” Brendan gave her a warning look.Shea was speechless. She didn’t even know what had happened. The bread she had taken was the one that had been bitten and she hadn’t let anyone touch it. How could this be?Her silence made Brendan think that she was unable to refute.Deirdre cursed in her heart.“Brendan, I know clearly what kind of person Shea is. She would never do anything to harm me! I can vouch for her myself. This is all just a misunderstanding!”“Vouch for her?” Emily sighed helplessly. “Ms. McKinnon, you can be kind, but don’t be too kind. She’s been trying to harm you after all! Have you ever wondered why Shea had the same ingredients that were found on the tested bread? Obviously, she had it in her possession. If you believe her, and if something happen

As expected, Brendan’s face turned cold, and his deep black eyes were inscrutable. At that moment, Emily quietly walked up to Shea, leaned in close to her ear, and whispered “Do you want this situation to continue? Look at the vibe between Brendan and Deirdre. The love they had for each other has gradually turned into conflict, and you are the reason for all of this.”Shea was stunned and began to feel an intense sense of guilt."Given Brendan's personality, even if he really promised Deirdre to let you go, he would still feel a knot in his heart. After all, he would have been forced to do this by Deirdre for your sake," Emily added.After Emily finished speaking, she rose to her feet. Sam glanced over and saw Emily by Shea’s side. Shea had lowered her head and lost all her spirit.“Shea…” Sam sensed that something was wrong.Meanwhile, the confrontation between Deirdre and Brendan continued.“So you’re forcing me not to pursue this matter, right?” Brendan’s palm on the sofa ti

“Brendan!”Brendan ignored Deirdre’s glares and demanded, “Sam, escort Ms. McKinnon home.”“Yes.”Sam dared not say much and just urged her, “Ms. McKinnon, let’s go.”Deirdre was emotionally distraught, but Sam's request forced her to move her feet and leave the private room. Even outside, her emotions remained in turmoil and she could not calm down. She had thought that if she caught up with everything, she would be able to help Shea in some way. But she had ended up only making things worse for her by forcing her to admit to a crime she hadn't committed.Deirdre hugged her arms, feeling useless.“Ms. McKinnon.” Sam hesitated for a long time before he chose to speak up. “There’s something I think you need to know.”“What is it?”“Before Shea confessed, I saw Emily next to her.”“What? Where was Emily in the beginning?” “She was sitting on the sofa, only two meters away from Shea. But while you and Mr. Brighthall were talking, Emily suddenly moved closer to Shea and her

Deirdre's gaze turned cold. A layer of frost covered her mien. "Oh, you're telling me all of this because you think your plan has already won, right? You think I can't touch a single hair on your head?"Emily was nonchalant. "Oh, Ms. McKinnon, I can assure you… I'm not in the same league as that idiot Charlene McKinney. I don't intend to give you openings the moment my plan starts getting into action. Go ahead, amass your 'evidence'! You think Brendan's gonna believe you?"Deirdre froze, her teeth grinding against each other. There had been a chance, but Emily… Emily was the one who had forced Shea into admitting guilt! Deirdre clenched her fists as rage rocked her chest. She glared at Emily, who smiled and raised her chin, beaming."What, you want to punch me now?""Punch you?" Deirdre closed her eyes. "As if I'm interested in dirtying my hand!"Emily's face darkened, but Deirdre did not care. Her throwing hands were exactly what Emily wanted. Thus, Deirdre turned on her heels,

Sam basically explained away why Deirdre slapped Emily, causing the latter’s eyes to grow cold. She managed to remove Shea from the picture, only for Sam to get in the way!She cupped her swollen cheek. It hurt so bad her own touch caused her entire face to twitch. She laughed in pain. “I really think Ms. McKinnon’s prejudice against me was too much. I just wanted to… make some clarification, you know. It’s why I wanted to talk to her in private. It’s no good for doctors and patients to misunderstand one another. In fact, it’s bad news to how effective the treatment could work…“I guess… Ms. McKinnon hates me too much, huh?”Deirdre gritted her teeth and snarled, “Miss me with that bullsh*t! Go ahead and tell everyone what you said to me right now!”Emily’s eyes reflected innocent confusion. “Ms. McKinnon, I—”“That’s enough!” Brendan snapped. All of this was giving him a migraine, and his patience was running low. “Didn’t I tell you to get Dee home, Sam?”Sam hung his head. “Sor

Brendan climbed the stairs and returned to his room. Deirdre clenched her jaw and followed suit.When Brendan found Deirdre sitting on his bed after he emerged from the bathroom, wiping himself dry, he knew there was no getting out of the discussion. He flipped his matted hair back and asked, "Okay, what is it?"Deirdre clenched her hands. "Remember how I slapped Emily at the gate of Night City? That was because she confessed to coercing Shea! And that's not all, Brendan. Do you know that Mrs. Engel is innocent? She was threatened into confessing she was the mole! Think about it! If Mrs. Engel was a mole, she would have had ample time to hurt me. She never needed to work with Emily at all!"The room fell into a prolonged silence. Brendan seemed rather unperturbed and unruffled until shades of fatigue appeared on his face. "I see. Okay. Now, time to sleep."Deirdre froze. "You… don't believe me, do you?"Brendan set his towel down, revealing conflict in his eyes. "It's not that I d

"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

"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
