Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1084 She Quit As Your Doctor
Brendan was apathetic, distant, and even a little impatient.He did not believe her. Deirdre felt weight crushing her chest. For some reason, she was reminded of what Emily had said to her. 'You shouldn't blame anyone for this. If anything, blame yourself for being so useless. You can only rely on Brendan to do anything at all. Think about it. What happens when he stops trusting you?'Deirdre understood the thorn in her words now. It felt like cotton had been stuffed into her throat. A long moment later, Deirdre finally spoke again. "What happened, Brendan? What did she say to you that just… makes you trust her so much? We both already know that she likes you! So why is it so hard for you to believe she would do anything to get you?"Brendan caressed her cheeks. He looked like he was grappling with his own confusion, too. "Dee, I love that you're wary about her existence. I love that you're jealous of her, but jealousy doesn't mean someone has to be this evil demon you're making

"If you care about me, then do what I say. Do not ever have any contact with Emily Collins! "She quit being my doctor, right? That means there is no reason for the two of you to contact each other anymore! You are to treat her like a stranger! And if you need to talk to her, then talk to her only when I'm there with you… and you'll have to report to me before meeting her!"Deirdre's lips were trembling. She no longer cared if what she asked would make her seem unreasonable and preposterous. Brendan's opinion about her was nothing compared to the gravity of Emily steadily taking everything Deirdre had away from her.She would do all she could to unmask Emily. She would show Brendan just who she really was!"Dee." Brendan's frown seemed to be stuck in his forehead. "Why do you hate her so much?"Deirdre smirked. "No reason. I just hate her guts. Happy?"He would not believe anything she said, anyway."The point remains." Deirdre emphasized. "If you care about me, then listen to w

"Ms. McKinnon, it's me."Shock shadowed Deirdre's features. She had been waiting for this. "Sam! What did you find out from Mrs. Engel's side? Any leads?"Sam was audibly excited. "Yes! I've got it! Mrs. Engel's eldest son had been abducted a month ago and released with threat, so his company faced a serious crisis at that time. It was then that someone suddenly provided monetary aid and saved her son's company from being destroyed."My investigation showed that none of it was coincidental. It was premeditated! And now, Mrs. Engel's son tells me he's willing to work with us to unmask Emily for who she really is!""That's great!"Deirdre was overjoyed. Emily's plan was not as foolproof as she touted it to be, after all! "Where are you now?""In the city where Mr. Mark Engel lives, though I'm technically buying a return ticket back to Neve. I'll be bringing Mark along with me for a confrontation with Emily."Part of Deirdre was concerned. "Do we have enough iron-clad evidence that

Food was also a great way to bring back the zest and passion in their relationship, especially after both of them had let it cool off on the side for this long.Ophelia was quite surprised to see Deirdre working hard in the kitchen. "Uh, shouldn't I help?""It's fine." Deirdre smiled, wiping little beads of sweat off her face. "I can do these. It's blurry, but it's good enough for me."Realization and understanding shadowed Ophelia's smile. "You hardly cook these days, so… what's up? Got motivated by some celebrity cook on the TV, or are you doing this only for a special someone?"Deirdre's cheeks warmed up a little. "Mom!""I know, I know. My daughter finally learned to put some effort into maintaining a relationship! As a mother who is very in the know, I won't interfere with this very special moment, so I am going to eat out."Deirdre was surprised. "Huh? But where? You don't have to!""I'm going to eat at a nice restaurant, sweetie. I won't stick around to see the two of you

Emboldened, Deirdre banished her hesitance and set her fork down. "Yes. I want to talk about something.""I'm all ears." Brendan took a sip of the soup and looked at her as tenderly as ever. "Can't say I'm not at all curious about this whole thing. It must be pretty big since you went to lengths to ask me to come home early."To his knowledge, Deirdre was never the type to take the first step in anything."Remember what I told you the last time? That Mrs. Engel is innocent?" The tenderness in Brendan's face gelled into something mechanical. His eyes cooled—they were now more placid than tender and perhaps even a little annoyed. He frowned. "Must you harp on this forever, Dee? It's all in the past now. Emily herself left us."Deirdre clenched her hands under the table. She cast her eyes down, but her tone remained serious. "Yes. It's all in the past. I could never mention it again if I didn't want to, but just because it happened doesn't mean it was nothing, was it? "I'm going t

"Where's Mark Engel now?"Deirdre was overjoyed. "He's on his way here! Sam located him and is bringing him to Neve. They should be here by tomorrow!"Brendan grazed the tablecloth back and forth. "Once he's with us, I'll confront Emily personally. She needs to explain this. If it really was her doing, then the people backing her must be very powerful too. I won't let her get away with this!"That was especially since his investigations had revealed no sign of outside manipulation. Deirdre clenched her hands to stop herself from being too excited. "And what about Shea and Mrs. Engel?""I'll compensate them for misjudging them. Shea will return to you, too."Deirdre smiled from ear to ear. Good, good! This way, Emily could never come back again! She knew it—she knew that her determination would pay off!The next morning, Sam called and told them they had both arrived at the station.Deirdre quickly informed Brendan, who ordered Sam to bring the man straight to their villa. Then

Brendan's glare was cold and piercing. "You claimed not to know Mark Engel, yet your company clearly dealt business with his before. Why? "You gave his company $450,000 a while ago, too! Are you going to tell me that this is all a fraud?"Consternation shadowed Emily's face. "Wait, Mr. Brighthall! I don't know what's happening at all! I might be in charge of Collins Pharmaceuticals, but I'm still considered wet around my ears. The board of directors was the one who made decisions on the company's behalf, so… I don't know where this $450,000 came from!"You have to let me make a call, okay? Give me time to make heads and tails of it!"She immediately tried to call on her phone.Deirdre stayed on her couch, unmoved. She was almost interested in watching how Emily was going to continue her pretense. While she was relaxed, however, Mark suddenly stepped forward and slapped the phone out of Emily's hand. "Don't muddy the water with some calls, missy! Your company transferred $450,00

Emily asked, "When was it finalized?""Half a year ago, but the transaction only happened last month after they went through all the procedures. What's the matter?"Emily assured her that everything was fine and immediately turned her gaze across the room.Instantly, Deirdre's face turned pale.Had they already planned this half a year ago? Could it be that Emily had another trick up her sleeve? No... Half a year ago, Emily hadn't even come to Neve yet!Deirdre asked, "Where is the contract? I can't just simply take your words as fact. I need to see it in black and white!""I will ask my assistant to send the contract," Emily said with confidence. "After all, no one can accept being slandered like this."Deirdre's eyes had a complicated look as she gazed at Mark. At the same time, Sam was also puzzled by her reaction. At present, Emily did not seem the least bit guilty. In fact, she even looked confident… Was Sam mistaken in his investigation?In any case, they had no choice bu

"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
