Deirdre blinked in confusion. She could feel that something was off about the situation, yet it was Brendan who brought it upon himself.

It was Brendan who insisted on letting Sam tag along on their date, yet he was jealous of Sam now out of nowhere.

In fact, she wanted to punish Brendan slightly by telling him that she did have a good time. However, she thought about it from another angle and figured that Sam would be in deep trouble, so she refrained from doing it.

"I'm having a good time, of course. I have a good time going out with you, after all. I can talk joyously with anyone when I'm in a good mood."

Deirdre humored Brendan with a smile, and he fell for it. He appeared to be smiling even with his eyebrows. He held Deirdre's hand and kissed the back of her hand.

"Really? Do you have a good time going out with me?" he asked.

"Hmm." Deirdre nodded to humor him but thought that it would be even better if Sam was not around.

Sam minded his own business by engaging in his wo

    Deirdre had an ominous feeling.Brendan's eyes were filled with overwhelming emotions. He kept quiet briefly before saying, "It's the stock transfer agreement of the Brighthall Group."Deirdre widened her eyes abruptly, and Sam, standing behind her, was stunned as well."Stock transfer agreement of the Brighthall Group? That is the stuff that determined Brendan's social status!'Deirdre was astonished. "Are you transferring the Brighthall Group's stocks to me? Why?"She was perplexed. "Don't those belong to you? Moreover, why would you transfer them to me? I have no involvement in business, and I won't be a part of your company."Brendan remained calm as he explained, "Listen to me, Deirdre. I don't have a specific reason, but I simply want to give them to you. That's all.""Transferring the company's stocks to you doesn't mean I won't be involved in the company's affairs anymore. I can still continue working, but it's a security measure for the future, for you and the child."

    Sam picked up the agreement he had to sign out of curiosity and raised his head in surprise the moment he read the terms. His eyes were filled with shock.Shaun's expression was calm, and so was Brendan's. Deirdre asked, "What is it?""Nothing. Sam still has to check the agreement's content," replied Brendan.Brendan placed his arm over her shoulder and added, "I'll help you into the car first."Deirdre followed Brendan outside, raised her head, and asked, "What is the agreement that Sam is signing?"Brendan said, "It's the organization's renewal agreement. It's not important."Deirdre did not understand but did not inquire further. Sam took a photo of the agreement in the office. "What is this?" His sharp eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and his eyes were tainted with confusion. "Why is he transferring the stocks to me first and then entrusting me to transfer them to Ms. McKinnon three years later?"Shaun answered calmly, "This is Mr. Brighthall's idea. He hopes that you wil

    Brendan spoke in a nonchalant tone as he uttered those words, but his voice softened when he spoke about Deirdre's future.Sam's eyes welled up with tears, and he vigorously wiped them away with his sleeves.Brendan playfully kicked him and said, "I'm still alive and kicking, you know."Sam said loudly, "Don't worry, sir! You will be safe and sound! However, if anything bad happens, I will do as you said and ensure that Ms. McKinnon's child will grow up safe and well!"Brendan's eyes were tainted with a tinge of gratification, and it vanished after a brief moment. He then turned around and left.Brendan turned his head before he shut the door and said, "I'm sorry for the previous incident, Sam."Also, it was me who caused Shea's death."-Brendan returned to the car, but Deirdre did not see Sam following behind him. "Where's Sam?" she asked.Brendan put on his seatbelt while he said, "Sam will get himself a ride back to the company.""Get a ride back to the company?" Deirdr

    Deirdre instantly understood what Brendan meant. "Then let's go back.""Our date..." Brendan frowned, "What about our date?"Deirdre smiled and linked arms with Brendan. "You have already taken me to see the most beautiful sea. Besides, we can go on a date at any time, so we don't have to go today. The contract is more important."After the two got into the car, Brendan personally sent Deirdre to the villa and left a kiss on Deirdre's lips before parting. Feeling Brendan's reluctance, Deirdre waved her hands and watched him leave.Then, she turned around and went back to the villa. She felt something was wrong when she walked into the living room. She looked up suddenly, and a crowd was in the living room. There was a person sitting on the sofa who looked very similar to Madame Brighthall upon closer look."You're finally back."Hearing the voice, Deirdre froze for a moment—it was indeed Madame Brighthall. Her mood changed inexplicably because Madame Brighthall sounded as if she

    "Ah!" Deirdre couldn't even utter a complete sentence as she watched Dr. Killton take a white pill out of his bag.Sweat droplets formed on Dr. Killton's forehead as he comforted Deirdre. "Don't worry, Ms. Deirdre. Even if it hurts, it won't hurt for too long. When the baby dies, I will give you a painkiller injection and send you to the hospital to ensure that nothing will happen to your body."Deirdre opened her eyes in astonishment, sweat dripping down her face. Perhaps, as she was on the verge of despair, she kicked the man beside her in the calf. Unexpectedly, the man fell to the ground, and Deirdre gained the freedom to speak. She struggled to say, "Madame Brighthall! I had a miscarriage once!"Madame Brighthall frowned."When I was in prison, my previous child was aborted as I was forced to take the abortion pill. The doctor said it was a miracle that I could conceive this time. If my child is aborted again, I won't be able to conceive again in my life!"Deirdre gnashed her

    Brendan regretted that he hadn't found out and arrived earlier, leaving Deirdre alone to fight against them."Deirdre, what did they do to you?" he asked.Deirdre buried her face in Brendan's chest, desperately protecting her stomach with her hands. "My child… My child..."Seeing the pill on the ground, Brendan trembled violently, then raised his head and stared at Madame Brighthall with bloodthirsty eyes."No one is allowed to leave today!"Seeing his eyes, Madame Brighthall was flustered, and her majestic aura and self-control that she had developed over the years disappeared at this moment.She then came back to her senses and sneered. "What? Are you going to attack your mother? Are you going to kill me? Or are you going to send me to prison?"Brendan narrowed his eyes. "You don't have much time, not to mention I'm your son. Of course, I wouldn't do such a vicious thing, but none of the accomplices here today can escape punishment."His eyes slowly fell on Dr. Killton. The d

    "I'm not putting you under house arrest." Brendan lowered his eyes, and when he looked at Deirdre, he had a look of affection and pity. "I just want to protect the woman I love. Mother, didn't you say that you don't want me to be a person who abandons his wife and children like my father? I will naturally obey your words and never allow Deirdre to suffer.""Are you crazy?" Madame Brighthall's voice trembled. "You're doing this just for such a woman?"She pointed at Deirdre and said, "Do you know that she is about to destroy you and the Brighthall family? She'll take away everything that we have!"However, Brendan's face remained calm. "It's not 'about to'. All she needs is to say the word, and she'll be able to destroy the Brighthall family and take away everything that we have now."Madame Brighthall was stunned. "What do you mean?"Brendan raised his eyes with a calm face. "I signed the stock transfer agreement with Deirdre today, and now the largest shareholder of the Brighthal

    "I'm glad you called me that. It sounds nice." Hearing this, Deirdre was embarrassed.Dr. Killton was dumbfounded. He found it unbelievable that this man in front of him, without a fierce and oppressive look in his eyes, was Brendan! He was repeatedly impressed by himself in his heart for making the right choice. If he had really listened to Madame Brighthall's words, he would have been burned to ashes by now."I'm going out for a while. I'll be back soon." Brendan kissed her forehead. "Don't worry. No matter what it is, I will be by your side."Deirdre's eyelashes trembled, and Brendan's words instantly calmed the uneasiness in her heart. Yeah, what was she worried about? No matter what, Brendan would stand by her side."Well, then I'll go back and change, then take a rest. I hope... You'll come back soon."Hearing this, Brendan stroked her hair and then glanced at everyone in the living room. Flustered, Dr. Killton immediately ran away before anyone else did. Brendan straightene

    "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

  • 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?"
