"I know. I've already instructed Brendan to work remotely and hold virtual meetings while I've been holding his phone. I will notice if Emily is playing some sort of trick at once."

"Hmm." Sterling felt more at ease after learning that and left after preparing medicine for Deirdre.

In the next few days, Brendan received psychotherapy for two hours per day in good order, and his condition was improving at a visible speed.

Brendan's condition was becoming more stable. He would bump into Sterling and Deirdre chatting to each other and sit down to listen to their conversation calmly.

Two more days passed when Deirdre suddenly received a call from an unknown number.

She put the phone on her ear, confused. "Who's this?"

The other end kept quiet for a while before a nonchalant chuckle sounded. "Have you forgotten about me, Ms. McKinnon?"

'Emily?'

Deirdre's entire body suddenly turned stiff, and her expression tensed up. She knew that no one else was around her, so she pulled a long fa

    Brendan was stunned by her series of questions. He recovered from his surprise, tilted the woman's chin to look at her concerned face up close, and smiled in satisfaction."Even though I want to lie to you badly, my body is completely fine." Brendan said in a strong voice, "Not only that, but my mental state is much more refreshed than before. But if I have to say something…"He attractively lowered his voice, and Deirdre waited for him to finish his sentence nervously. Then, she felt Brendan's lips rubbing against her lips. "I feel like succumbing to my appetite, and my urge is growing stronger by the day."Deirdre was stunned. She came to realize the situation a few seconds later and was extremely shy. She poked at Brendan's arm and said, "Will you please behave more decently, Brendan? Where is your serious demeanor that you used to have?""With you around, I only care about enjoying myself and nothing else."As Brendan spoke, his hands ran along Deirdre's garment and under her

    Sam was monitoring the commotion outside at all times. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he could not help heaving a sigh and counting with his fingers.It had been three hours.'Mr. Brighthall is strong and energetic, just like when he was younger!'He shut his eyes, yet he did not hear Brendan returning to his room. On the contrary, he heard the commotion from the garage downstairs. He pulled open the curtain and saw a car driving out of the garage into the night.Sam was stunned. Who was driving the car out of the garage so late at night?When the thought occurred to him, Sam's heart was racing. He hastily opened the room and turned to Brendan's room.The door was not locked, so it was opened with just a gentle nudge. The room was empty, which proved that Brendan was the person who had driven away earlier.Sam's expression was unpleasant and solemn. 'It's late…'He was under the assumption that Brendan would be spending the night in Deirdre's room, but that was no

    "Not only do I believe it, but I'm also very worried that what Emily said might come true. That's why I asked you to keep an eye on Brendan. If his health is jeopardized, it may mean that Emily has done something to him."Sam was dumbfounded when he heard that. His mind went blank when he thought of Brendan going out last night. Brendan was indeed acting strange, but he had just sneaked out in the middle of the night. He didn't know where he had gone nor who he had met.Sam didn't dare to tell Deirdre the truth. After all, Brendan hadn't stayed in his room but gone out secretly in the middle of the night. No matter how Sam thought about it, something like this would cause her to overthink. He didn't want Deirdre to misunderstand.Deirdre continued. "Sam, my eyes are unwell, and I can't see many things, so please help me to keep an eye on Brendan. I have a feeling that Emily will not end things easily."Sam replied with mixed emotions, "Okay, I will."After breakfast, Sam excused h

    Sam arrived at the door but couldn't knock on it. Thus, he could only squat outside the door. The room was so soundproof that he couldn't eavesdrop on the sound inside.Time passed by little, and Sam fought his sleepiness to stay awake, and finally, at 2:00 a.m., the door was opened with a click. When Brendan came out of the room, Sam stood up instantly."Sam?" Brendan's handsome face had a look of surprise, and then his brows frowned, and his eyes looked tense. He had a puzzled look as he asked, "Why are you here?"Sam couldn't stop looking at the room. Brendan closed the door abruptly. He then realized something and became furious. "Are you following me?"His subordinate actually followed him here. What a 'great' subordinate!Sam knew Brendan was angry, but he cared more about what had happened in the room. He thought repeatedly before he asked bravely, "Sir, is there anyone else in the room?""What are you saying!?"Sam gulped but had a complicated expression on his face. "Si

    "Yes, and if I remember correctly, this only started happening recently."Deirdre was puzzled. "Then Sam, did you ask him at that time? What was Brendan's answer?"Sam scratched his head with an embarrassed expression. "He didn't answer me. From his attitude at the time, I saw that he didn't like me asking these questions very much, so I didn't say anything more.""Okay… I see." Deirdre was in a complicated mood.Brendan had a secret but hid it from everyone, telling not even her. Even if she asked now, she probably wouldn't get an answer.After careful consideration, Deirdre decided to take the initiative to go to Brendan's room at night. When Brendan came out of the shower, he saw Deirdre on the bed. His black eyes went from dazed to tender, and he walked over slowly. He embraced her, and the water droplets on his body moistened Deirdre's pajamas."You're so enthusiastic today. You even came here by yourself." His voice was hoarse, obviously thinking about that again.Deirdre

    Brendan's breath got closer and closer, and just when Deirdre thought he would kiss her, he withdrew his hand. "It's getting late, and I'm a little sleepy. Let's rest.""Okay." Deirdre drooped her eyes and gradually closed them. When she woke up the next morning, she could no longer feel Brendan's body temperature around her. However, Sam said that Brendan hadn't gone out last night.Deirdre yawned, and when she went to the balcony, she seemed to have stepped on something. She lowered her head, and Sam looked over. He unconsciously gasped and asked, "Why are there so many cigarette butts on the balcony?"'Cigarette butts?'Deirdre fell into a daze. When she came to this room, she had gone to the balcony to close the window. She didn't remember these cigarette butts there.Could it be that Brendan had gone to the balcony to smoke after she fell asleep? Deirdre suddenly felt confused. She had been under the impression that Brendan had fallen asleep with her yesterday."Cigarette bu

    Brendan was stunned and froze in place.Deirdre was so angry that her head started aching. She wasn't furious because he lied, but because he had insomnia, yet he never told her about it. She only learned about it through Emily!"Why didn't you tell me? Aren't we together now? Why would you rather hide your condition than let me know? Or perhaps I'm not trustworthy at all to you!?"Deirdre's eyes were red.Brendan frowned for a moment, and with a reluctant expression, he said her name with a hoarse voice, "Deirdre..."He took a deep breath and had a broken look in his eyes. "It's not like this. How could you not be worthy of my trust? You are the woman I love the most, and this will never change."Deirdre grabbed his arm. "Then you should have told me all about it! You have suffered from insomnia for a long time. It's not a trivial matter at all!"Brendan smiled wryly. "I… I already consulted the doctor."Deirdre hurriedly asked, "What did the doctor say?""I have insomnia. He

    Deirdre's eyes reddened, and Brendan squatted down and kissed her. He then hooked her mouth with his fingertips. "Deirdre, smile. It is not good for the baby or you to be so upset."Deirdre felt her chest tighten. "How can I smile? You can only fall asleep in Emily's presence. Doesn't that mean that..."She had no choice but to beg Emily to come back?Deirdre fell into a daze. This was exactly what Emily wanted—that was why she was so confident. After all, if Brendan continued to suffer from insomnia, even if his mental state improved, he would be driven crazy."I don't need Emily."When Deirdre heard what Brendan said, she raised her head unconsciously.Brendan was calm and composed as he said, "I'll just adjust slowly. Plus, I've made up my mind. I can't really rely on Emily. Then it'll be easy for her to control what I do."Deirdre's face was serious and dark. "But you...""I'll try again."Deirdre nodded. She knew that Brendan had to bear it a while longer. She whispered t

    "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

    "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

  • 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

    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?"
