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
