Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 119 I Won’t Let You Off
Sam could not help feeling disappointed. “Don’t you like it, Ms. McKinnon?”“No…” Deirdre rubbed the puppy’s head, and it moved closer to her affectionately to lick her fingers. “I can’t see, so it will be very difficult for me to take care of it. Moreover… I’m living in someone’s house now, so how can I keep a pet without Brendan’s permission?”“So it turns out that you’re concerned about this, Ms. McKinnon.” Sam could not help chuckling. “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of the puppy’s day-to-day needs. As for Mr. Brighthall, I’ll inform him once he has cooled down. It’s just a pet. He won’t mind it.”“Don’t…”“Don’t reject me anymore, Ms. McKinnon. In truth, I can’t send back the puppy anymore because the neighbor’s dog died after giving birth to it. The neighbor tore himself away from the puppy in fear that he would miss the old dog. However, I’m not at home most of the time. If you don’t want it, I really don’t know what to do with it anymore, Ms. McKinnon.”Deirdre was touched. S
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 120 Something Is Missing
Brendan’s eyes were narrowed, and he wore a very dangerous expression. ‘She is already starting to keep her own secret after leaving her in the villa for just a few days.’“Deirdre, I’m going to count to three. Don’t evoke my anger.”She bit her lower lip tightly.“Three, two…”“It’s Bliss.”“Bliss?”Deirdre had only come to realize that she had called out the puppy’s name. She opened up the box, completely terrified, and revealed the furry, whiny puppy head inside. The puppy moved toward Deirdre to sniff at her.“This is it.”Brendan backed away in disgust. He was allergic to dogs. “Why did you bring this here? Get rid of it immediately.”Deirdre bit her lower lip and did not attempt to refute. Instead, she wrapped her arms around the box to protect it. Brendan sneered. “What are you doing, Deirdre? Do you regard this as your home? You’re just a dog to me, yet you’re still trying to keep a pet?”The remark was so harsh that Deirdre’s eyes reddened with tears as she attempt
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 121 Returning to the Villa
He had no idea what it was, but it felt as if something was torn from his heart when it vanished so suddenly.“Mr. Brighthall.” His driver was there to pick him up. “What happened?”“Nothing.” He turned around and said, “Let’s go.”…Deirdre went straight to check on the box as soon as she woke up. Bliss was in there, but she could not see, so she could only feel around for the puppy with her hands. The puppy seemed to be sleeping and it would snore occasionally. It was awakened upon sensing Deirdre’s presence and it licked her fingers while it barked twice. Deirdre chuckled because it really was adorable. “Ms. McKinnon.”Sam came in for his shift and felt pleased deep down to find Deirdre smiling at Bliss in the box. “Have you had breakfast?”“I’m not in a rush to have breakfast.” Deirdre rubbed the puppy’s fur. “Let’s get some milk for it.”Deirdre took the puppy outside to get some sun when it was full from the milk and satisfied. The sound of a car driving into the court
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 122 The Food Has Been Tampered With
“Yes.” Charlene chuckled and said, “However, it’s possible that I will need to stay in the villa for some time because of my health, Ms. McKinnon. I’m sorry that you need to put up with me.”Deidre sneered soundlessly. ‘This woman is really good at being a hypocrite both with her words and demeanor. However, Brendan just can’t seem to notice what a hypocrite she is.’She nodded. She really wanted to remove herself from that place and head upstairs, but Charlene said, “Let’s have a meal together, Ms. McKinnon. I’m quite good at cooking.”“It’s fine…” Before she could reject the offer, she sensed Brendan’s overbearing gaze. He was warning her. Deirdre changed her words and suppressed her disgust. “Sure.”Soon, Charlene headed to the kitchen to cook, and they gathered around the dining table. She prepared a full plate of food for Deirdre and said with a gentle smile, “I don’t like your food preferences, so I prepared a normal meal. Have a taste and let me know if you like it, Deir
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 123 Would You Believe Me if I Told You Then
Deirdre did not notice when Bliss got out of the box and moved close to her, whining to lick her fingers. Her throat hurt so much that she could not speak, so she could only hold Bliss in her arms and bite her lower lip tightly to stop her body from shaking.‘This is pure agony. When will days like this one end?’She suddenly envied Bliss. She envied the dog because someone would hold it and give it warmth when it whined, yet she had nothing. She walked out of the bathroom after cleaning up, but the door of the bedroom was open. Before Deirdre could respond to the situation, she was pinned against the wall. The pain she felt aside, she could not help shivering from the cold radiating from the wall. “I’ve had enough of your act!” Brendan’s face was icy, and he was extremely furious. “What the heck is wrong with you today? Did you not take my warning seriously? Who were you trying to convince that you were disgusted by assuming that agonized expression after tasting Charlene’s co
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 124 It’s Only a Matter of Time Before I Toy With You to Death
She took two sips of water before she heard the sound of leisurely footsteps behind her. Charlene said with feigned concern and a smile, “Are you alright, Ms. McKinnon?”Deirdre ignored her. When she was done drinking, she followed the wall and walked outside. Charlene raised her voice behind Deirdre as she said, “You’re going to have to talk to me, Ms. McKinnon. Do you think that you can just ignore me when Brendan is not around? If I take offense, I’m going to vent my grievance to Brendan.”Deirdre clenched her fists tightly when she heard the threatening remark. However, there was nothing she could do because, as would blame her without any hesitation if Charlene were to vent her grievance to him. She took a deep breath and stopped right before the stairs. She then turned around and asked, “What do you want, Charlene?”“Not much,” Charlene said leisurely. “I would like to ask you about yesterday’s meal, Ms. McKinnon. Did you like it?”Deirdre experienced acid reflux instantly
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 125 Perhaps I Would Date Her
“Sure.” Deirdre placed down her cutlery and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll stay home. I won’t go anywhere.”“Hmm.”Deirdre assumed that that was all. She was preparing to get up and leave when Charlene suddenly spoke. “Brendan, it would be rather boring for Ms. McKinnon to stay at home all alone by herself. Why don’t we have Sam take Ms. McKinney to get some warmer clothes while we’re at the musical? Winter is coming, and Ms. McKinnon might fall sick if she doesn’t have proper clothes to wear by then.”Deirdre raised her head and wondered what sort of trick Charlene had up her sleeve. Brendan glared at Deirdre in disgust. “Did you hear that? Charlene still cares about you and worries that you might fall sick even though your evil deeds have put her in harm’s way on multiple occasions.”Deirdre wanted to laugh. ‘Anyone is capable of pretending, but does Brendan know what sort of person Charlene is when she is not around him?’“We’re all women, after all.” Charlene smiled bitterly. “W
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 126 She Could Not Protect Anything
“Let’s go back.” She looked as if she was missing the puppy. “Bliss is at home all by itself. Ιt’s going to grow anxious if I’m not around.”Sam bought some dog food from a pet shop nearby. Deirdre fell in love with a set of dog clothing after feeling it with her hands and bought it as well. The two of them arrived at the villa, and Deirdre made her way to the bedroom on the second floor eagerly.“Bliss, Bliss.” She beamed widely, expecting the little puppy to come to her as soon as she opened the door, just like it behaved usually. However, not a sound could be heard at that very moment. Deirdre’s smile faded slowly. She then opened the door and searched around the room. “Bliss? Bliss?”Sam came upstairs upon hearing the commotion. “What’s going on, Ms. McKinnon?”Deirdre’s face turned ghastly pale, but she forced herself to calm down. “Bliss is not responding to me. Sam, will you please help me look around and see if it’s hiding under the bed or has fallen asleep?”Sam went

"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.

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
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1568 The Plan Was Exposed
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
