Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1090 Investigating the Truth
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

At that moment, icy disappointment overwhelmed and suffocated Deirdre.Sam eagerly explained to Brendan, "Sir! That's not the case! When I investigated back then, it was evident that Mark's company was being targeted! Then—""Shut up!" Brendan's arms tightened, and his veins twitched. As he looked at Deirdre and Sam, endless disappointment filled his eyes."Sam, go to the meditation room. You're grounded. Don't take even half a step out of the meditation room without my permission! You went to another city without my permission, caused such a stir, and even helped our enemies! Resign from the company. I will think about where to send you later!"'Helped our enemies?' Deirdre opened her eyes suddenly, with devastation filling her heart. He believed it? He believed she had spent $100,000 to bribe Mark to act out this scene?"Sir!" Sam said anxiously, "All of this is my fault. I didn't investigate clearly, which gave Mark a chance to scheme all these! But I can swear that the $100,00

Brendan's originally softened brows and eyes turned bone-chillingly icy again. Of course, he knew what Sam felt toward Deirdre, but he thought that Sam had learned to restrain himself. When Emily reminded him, he realized how out of bounds Sam was acting."Sam, I warned you before to remember your identity. Deirdre is my woman! If what happened today occurs again, don't even think about setting foot in Neve from now on!"Sam was so shocked that his entire face turned pale."Sir!" He hurriedly explained, "It's not what you think! I have no such feelings toward Ms. McKinnon! Today—"Emily interrupted him. "No such feelings? If you had no such feelings, would you have secretly gone to another city to ask Mark to come over behind Mr. Brighthall's back?"Hearing this, Sam clenched his fists tightly, and Brendan didn't bother to listen any longer."Get out!"Seeing Brendan's cold face and barely contained fury, Sam had to hold back from saying the words he was about to blurt out.He

After hanging up the phone, he walked over and picked up Mark, who was still sitting slumped at the door by the collar. His cold eyes were like sharp blades as he said, "You said that you came here because Deirdre gave you $100,000. If you are lying, I'll make you regret coming here!"Mark couldn't help shivering and hurriedly glanced at Emily.Emily shook her head, and he immediately wore a panicked expression. "Mr. Brighthall! I swear on my honor. Ms. McKinnon insisted that I do this! And I thought you agreed! Otherwise, I dare not do such a thing, no matter how ballsy I am!"Just then, Brendan threw him outside. "What qualifications does a crude man like you, who can be bribed with money alone, to swear on your honor?"With a frosty look, he said, "Get out!"Mark hurriedly got up and ran away in fear.Meanwhile, Emily stepped forward to comfort him, but Brendan looked over coldly. "Why are you still here?"Emily froze for a moment. The man's disgust for her was too obvious, a

"Brendan, since you believe so much in Emily's words and think that I will go to any lengths to prove myself, then you should be with her. Let me go!"Brendan's pupils shrank in shock, and he looked at Deirdre in disbelief."You want to go?""Obviously?" Deirdre clutched the blanket, and her heart ached. She would have never imagined that they would reach this point before the child was born. "You don't even have basic trust in me, so what else do we have to talk about?" Then, Brendan grabbed her wrist, and his handsome face tensed up. "What trust do you want? Deirdre, I trusted you, so I went to investigate Mark. In the end, the result of the investigation was completely different from what you said!"His company hasn't been targeted at all. It's all because of his own doing. He gambled and went after women. No matter how much I trust you, I must distinguish the facts! You slandered and vilified Emily again and again. Do I have to do the same as you and slander and vilify her to

"I'm tired. Go out. I'm going to rest."It was daytime, and the weather was not that cold. For some reason, Deirdre felt that the world was devoid of warmth. She also knew that the gap between herself and Brendan had widened, and she was extremely disappointed with Brendan at the moment.Brendan didn't insist on staying any longer. Instead, he pressed his hurting temple and slammed the door as he made his way out.In the next few days, Deirdre and Brendan grew colder and colder toward each other. Ophelia asked Deirdre about it several times but found that Deirdre was not enthusiastic in her replies, so she stopped asking.Deirdre was still concerned about Sam's situation. After all, she was the one who had dragged Sam into this rashly, so she took the risk and hid in her room to call Sam.Her calls weren't answered many times, but it finally got through this time. Deirdre hurriedly asked, "Sam! Is that you?""It's me, Ms. McKinnon." Sam's voice sounded normal, but she didn't know

When Deirdre passed by, Brendan grabbed her arm abruptly."Where are you going?" He had drunk some alcohol today, so his head was aching slightly. He warned in a low voice, "Deirdre, don't make me angry."Deirdre's teeth chattered as she looked up at him. "Make you angry? Are you going to hit me?"These words made Brendan's face sour. He leaned close to her as if to coax her or to give in."Deirdre, how could I?"Deirdre tilted her head to avoid his approaching lips. He reeked of alcohol, which made her uncomfortable. In the past, he never came here reeking of alcohol and cigarettes. The details already told her everything."How could you? You can even attack your subordinate, who treats you so well. How about a woman who can be replaced at any time?"As soon as she finished her sentence, Brendan's face turned cold."Are you here to seek justice for Sam?"Deirdre withdrew her hand and said, "I wouldn't dare. After all, I can't even explain myself, although you view me as such

"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
