Afterward, Declan had to return to the company, so it became inconvenient for Deirdre and Brendan to stay for long, and they quickly left the villa.On the way, Brenda asked, "What did you talk about with Laura?"Deirdre leaned her head on his shoulder and looked up at him with her beautiful eyes shimmering, telling him what Laura had said before.After listening, Brendan was surprised. "Declan deliberately toyed with Glenna? How is that possible? What could have caused Declan to hate her so much?""I know." Deirdre also frowned. "This is something I can't figure out no matter what. If I remember correctly, Glenna and Declan only met after I introduced them. At that time, they were just common friends, but there was certainly no hatred between them. Unless after I left, Glenna did something to cause Declan to hate her so much."Do you know what happened between them afterward?" Deirdre asked.Brendan pursed his lips, his black eyes deep in thought before answering, "I don't know.
"It's true… I am the victim," Glenna agreed, lost in thought for a moment before asking, "Deirdre, if you were me, what would you do?"Glenna was trapped in confusion and sinking deeper into the quagmire.Meanwhile, Deirdre was taken aback, perhaps not expecting this question. When she came to her senses, she lowered her eyes and pursed her lips as she thought. If she were Glenna?If Brendan were to toy with her, insult her, trample on her dignity like a different person, and marry another woman, Deirdre thought she would probably break down."Although I don't know if I would be as brave as you, I hope that if I ever encounter this situation, I can be as free-spirited as you are," Deirdre replied truthfully.Looking at Deirdre's serious expression, Glenna took a deep breath. "Let's not talk about this anymore. After all, I have calmed down a lot after staying here for a couple of days. Since this is not the relationship I can have, I'm giving up. I plan to go to Erden to develop
Glenna stared at Declan's black eyes, which were narrowed with merciless mockery.Suddenly, a cold chill swept over her, and she took a deep breath and looked away.Declan followed closely behind and lit a cigarette, his smiling eyes now devoid of any humor as he leaned against the car.Glenna clenched her fists, trying to stay calm, and asked, "What do you want to say?"Declan took a puff of smoke and blew out a cloud of white mist as he spoke. "Two months ago, you gave yourself to me. Do you remember?"Glenna was stunned for a moment, her face distorted with anger. She wanted nothing more than to rush over and slap Declan.Declan looked at her with condescension, the shadow of the sunlight falling on her, and he repeated, "You gave yourself to me, do you remember?"Glenna trembled all over, her rational mind telling her she couldn't beat Declan."What do you want to say?" she asked."I took a picture," Declan replied.Glenna's eyes widened in shock."Just the picture you w
Fionn's face froze up. Meanwhile, Declan ignored him and walked toward Deirdre and Brendan. Deirdre had already heard the news from Brendan that Glenna had left suddenly by car. Seeing Declan coming over, she asked in a hurry, "What happened, Mr. King? Why did Glenna leave by a car suddenly? Did you say something to her?""I did," Declan said calmly. "I told her never again to set foot in Eastgene in this lifetime."Deirdre couldn't believe it. She was stunned, as if she was struck by lightning. No wonder Glenna had left in such a hasty manner. It was impossible for anyone not to be upset after hearing that.She frowned and looked at Declan in front of her as if he was a stranger. "Why? What happened between you and Glenna? She has never betrayed you. If you don't like her, you can just leave her. Why are you so heartless to her!?"Declan wasn't upset by Deirdre's angry questioning. Instead, he said softly, "Ms. McKinnon, when it comes to relationships, only the people involved h
Fionn nodded. "No problem, Ms. McKinnon, just leave it to me."Deirdre pursed her lips. She didn't want to care about Declan, but if Declan had changed because Laura manipulated him, then everything that had happened would be justified…After that, Fionn drove Brendan and Deirdre to the hotel. When Deirdre arrived at the hotel, she was not in high spirits. Instead, she instantly went to lie on the bed. Brendan kissed the corner of her lips and went to the living room to work.Then, Deirdre fell asleep. When she was half awake, she heard Brendan call someone on the phone, asking if there was any other way and when they could arrive with a solemn tone.She woke up, rubbed her eyes, and asked, "Brendan, who are you calling? Is someone coming?"Brendan immediately cut off the phone. "You're awake?"Deirdre shook her head, still feeling sleepy. "I need to sleep for a while more.""Okay, you sleep for a while. I will accompany you."Although he said he would accompany her, Brendan wa
"Maybe he thinks the hotel room is more convenient since it's just downstairs.""That makes sense." Fionn didn't doubt her. "I'll help you over there.""Alright."-Inside the room…Just as Emily lit the incense, Brendan pushed the door open. His handsome face was tense, and his brows were slightly frowned as he went straight to the side seat and sat down without even looking at Emily."Hurry up."Holding his aching forehead, he didn't fall asleep for a long time. For several days in a row, he hadn't just slept for two or three hours, but he hadn't slept at all.Before he finally couldn't hold on anymore, he had no choice but to call Emily and ask her to come over and treat him.Emily blew out the match and smiled charmingly before she leaned against the counter while she looked lazily at Brendan and teasingly said, "Mr. Brighthall, are you in such a hurry because you're worried that Ms. McKinnon will find out?"Thinking of the scene this morning, Brendan felt vaguely uneasy.
"Do you want to go in now?"Deirdre nodded. She wanted to know what secrets Brendan was hiding.As soon as Fionn opened the door with the key card, Deirdre anxiously pushed the door open. Because Brendan and Emily were in the living room, Deirdre saw the huddled figures without any hindrance. Even though she couldn't see clearly, the intertwined shadows still made Deirdre's pupils constrict."Ms. McKinnon?" Emily hurriedly pushed away Brendan's hand on her waist with a flustered expression. "A-Aren't you already asleep? Why are you here so late?"Deirdre felt giddy as if a gust of gas went from her chest to her brain. She had assumed she would never catch her man cheating on her red-handed in this life. But when she saw this scene, she was still shocked and disgusted.She also finally understood what the perfume on Brendan's body was all about. It turned out that Brendan would go downstairs to Emily's room every night when she fell asleep, and when she woke up, he would continue t
Was Deirdre so stupid in Brendan's eyes that she couldn't even tell if two people were hugging each other?Brendan was flabbergasted for a moment. His brows were slightly frowned, and his handsome face was tense. He felt dizzy and suffocated under the throbbing headache."Deirdre, don't be so unreasonable."Deirdre paused and then laughed, but there was no joy in her eyes."I'm sorry, but I love to be unreasonable. I just like to make trouble for no reason. Since you don't like it, then there's no need for me to continue being an eyesore here. Go ahead."She turned around and went out. Fionn immediately chased after her. "Ms. McKinnon!"Brendan was about to follow her, but his vision went dark, and he fell down on the sofa and passed out.Just then, Deirdre walked out of the room quickly, her body still trembling with anger. Fionn followed behind her, but he was completely stunned. It was undeniable that Brendan loved Deirdre from the bottom of his heart, which he had witnessed
