last update Last Updated: 2023-04-17 19:00:29
Deirdre had mixed feelings. She even wanted to ask, 'Since you love me, Brendan, why don't you trust me?' But she stopped when the words were about to spill out from her lips.

It was a meaningless quarrel, and she didn't want to continue it a second time.

"Taste it first. If you like it, I'll buy it for you again tomorrow."

"Okay." Deirdre nodded but didn't have the courage to open the box.

Seeing this, Brendan was a little surprised. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I've been in the living room for too long, and I'm feeling a little cold. I want to go back to my room and slowly eat it."

"Alright, then you go to your room and slowly eat it. I will go to have my meeting in the study." Brendan didn't think too much about it and went up with his laptop.

Deirdre took the pastry box and sat on the bed in the room. She then summoned up the courage to hold her breath and took a piece, handed it to her mouth, and bit it down. Before her brain could react, the feeling of nausea swarmed ove

    She then heard Brendan say, "Deirdre, do you think that your plan was so flawless and perfect that I couldn't guess that you were trying to divert me away? Your acting skills are bad, so how could I possibly not have realized what you were doing? But I still didn't refuse. Do you know why? Because I owe you that. Next time, you won't have another chance to dismiss me. Deirdre, I won't trust you again."After Brendan opened his lips, he spat out those icy words. His last sentence made Deirdre's face turn pale. The man then let go of her and left.Deirdre's mind went blank, and before she could react, she had already grabbed Brendan's hand in fury."Brendan! When have you ever trusted me!?"Brendan was stunned. With reddened eyes, Deirdre said, "Between Emily and I, do you trust me more? I told you Shea was innocent. Did you believe me? I'm telling you now that I was forced to throw away the carrot cake. Are you willing to believe me on this too!?"When Brendan saw Deirdre's tears,

    In his eyes, Mrs. Engel was an accomplice of those people, and Shea had almost caused her child to be deformed, so it was normal for him not to forgive them. However, she couldn't determine why Brendan was so biased regarding Sam. He really believed that Sam had betrayed him.No matter what, Deirdre needed to expose Emily's true nature. As for Brendan... She could only try to convince him now. After all, Shea was still in the hands of those people.She turned her face and raised her head. "You say you believe me. Okay, then first tell me what happened to Shea. How did she disappear? Where did she go? Can you find her?"Brendan frowned slightly, subconsciously wanting to ask Deirdre to leave the matter alone. Still, he was aware of the woman's determination, so he replied, "Before her disappearance, the surveillance only captured Shea going to an alley by herself, and then she vanished. I don't know the rest. I guess…"He hesitated momentarily before saying, "This is a trap set up b

    Thinking of this, Deirdre had mixed feelings. One would think she and Emily had switched identities… No matter what, she hoped that she could bring down Emily in one fell swoop with this matter. There was a pang in Deirdre's heart.Needless to say, since Brendan started to suspect something was off, he investigated it non-stop, and he also called to ask Emily to meet.Coincidentally, Emily was on a business trip, so she had no choice but to say, "Mr. Brighthall, why don't you wait for me to come back and go to your villa in person? I just don't know if Ms. McKinnon would mind.""I'm fine with it, and so is she."After finishing the call, Brendan returned to Deirdre's side. Deirdre was exercising on the treadmill, and he also stayed there. In the afternoon, he sent Sterling away and held a meeting with Deirdre in his arms.It didn't take long for word to spread in the company that Mr. Brighthall had a newly married wife and that he clung to her so much every day that he was relucta

    "I also found it a pity, which was why I used that photo as my screensaver."As the two continued, they explained the matter as if it were normal.Emily smiled and pointedly said, "Ms. McKinnon, you really know Sterling well. You even guessed why he used this photo. It seems that I have chosen the right person to be your attending doctor."Deirdre's eyes took on an icy look again, and Brendan asked furiously, "What photo? Mr. Fuller, can you let me take a look?"The corners of Sterling's lips twitched, and he politely refused, "I'm sorry, the photo is not in the photo album of this phone. I'm afraid I can't show it to you, Mr. Brighthall."Nonetheless, his intention was very obvious. He didn't want Brendan to interfere with what had happened between him and Deirdre.He then added, "Mr. Brighthall probably isn't the kind of person who is overly involved and sensitive, right? Deirdre told me a lot about you and said you trust her very much. There is no need to care about what happe

    Emily felt uneasy in her heart and bit her lower lip tightly so she could force herself to smile."What… What's going on, Mr. Brighthall? If this is irrelevant to Ms. McKinnon, why did you ask me to come?"Brendan narrowed his eyes and said bluntly, "Deirdre told me that you mentioned Shea's missing incident when you took her to meet Sterling the other day. Is that true?"Emily's heart was racing, and her face turned ghastly pale instantly. 'Deirdre would tell Brendan about this? Isn't she already beginning to feel disappointed with Brendan?'Moreover, what's going on with Brendan? Why is he starting to be suspicious of me?'"Shea…" Emily's forehead was sweating, and she was trying to figure out a way to defend herself. Brendan caught her by surprise when he interrupted her. "Don't tell me that you didn't bring up Shea and that it was all Deirdre's lies. I know very well that Deirdre wouldn't lie to me."He spoke in a domineering tone, his chiseled jaw tensed, his jawline wel

    Emily's heart was racing. How would she procure the evidence of the hotel when her friend was just a made-up excuse?Her palms were sweaty, and she felt suffocated."What are you doing there? Do you need me to get someone to help you?"Brendan had run out of patience, and Emily was so startled that she dropped her phone on the floor. She hastily bent over to pick up the phone and came up with an idea at the last moment."Alright, I shall contact the friend and get him to show the evidence."She made the call in Brendan's presence, but Brendan did not understand the language very well."What kind of language is that?"Emily smiled. "It's my friend's local accent."Brendan massaged his temples, bored to death by her words."Do it quickly. My patience is running low.""Sure." Emily nodded and brought up a video clip that she showed to Brendan."However, in order to prevent you from accusing my friend of fraudulence, he recorded the whole process of him going through the luggage

    Deirdre's pupils constricted, and she found it ironic by the time she recovered from her surprise.'What am I doing here?'"I'm sorry. It turns out that I'm disturbing both of you. I shouldn't be here." Deirdre suppressed her anger and turned around to leave. Brendan was about to get up to go after Deirdre when Emily clutched his arm. "What is going on with you, Mr. Brighthall?""What is going on with me?" Brendan held his head and felt like he was in a daze. In fact, he did not even know why he would be in the study now. Soon afterward, he pulled back his arm and queried Emily, "Why are you here?"Emily said, "You invited me to talk about our collaboration today. Have you forgotten about that?""Me? Inviting you to talk about our collaboration?""Yes. You fainted suddenly when we were halfway through our discussion, so I could only help to carry you to the sofa. I didn't expect Ms. McKinnon to walk in on us coincidentally and… She saw us."Brendan attempted to clear his head

    Emily had never been mocked in this manner before. Her face turned ghastly pale at once, yet she swallowed her grievance at the thought of the man's long-term plan."I didn't expect that Deirdre would actually tell Brendan about this incident either… Moreover, Brendan believed her. I believe that she must have gained his trust by faking her pain!""I don't care if he fell for the trick or what, but it's true that you almost failed the plan. Moreover, you're such an idiot. Haven't you realized that Sterling's presence hasn't affected Brendan yet?"Emily came to realize that and bit her lower lip tightly. "Yes, Brendan was supposed to be going frantic from jealousy from the start.""How is Brendan going to lose control of himself if you still don't stir up trouble? I'm going to give you one last chance to ruin the relationship between Brendan and Deirdre. Or else, you'll be of no use to me."The call was hung up. The man's attitude was worlds apart compared to when he proposed to wo

    "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.

    "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

    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.-

    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

    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

    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

    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
