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
"But after Ophelia saw me, she first said she wanted to take revenge for what happened in the past! She told me that Deirdre is her spy, and unless I try my best to prevent you from being together… She will tell Deirdre the truth and ask Deirdre to avenge the McKinnons!"There is too much enmity hidden between you, so how can you be together? In Deirdre's eyes, do you think you are more important, or taking revenge for Ophelia is more important!?"Brendan was dumbfounded. He was soaked in the hues of twilight, and his black eyes sparkled, but chaos and fear were brewing deep in those dark eyes."My father… He is Deirdre's father... murderer?" Brendan staggered and held onto the pillar, and he was so shocked that he couldn't think clearly at all."How could this be?" Brendan's eyes were filled with tears, and his body was tense. "This is impossible..."Madame Brighthall didn't want to cruelly tell Brendan the truth, but she couldn't hide it from him forever. "It will be too late if
Brendan was in a complicated mood. His eyes were filled with emotion as he raised his hand to caress Deirdre's face."You didn't do anything wrong. It was me. How I wish I could protect you."When Deirdre heard Brendan's guilty words, she gently grasped Brendan's fingertips, turned her head, and closed his eyes. "No one expected today's incident. I know that as the middleman, you are the one who is suffering the most. Neither of us should complain about each other or blame ourselves. As long as we promise not to let go of each other's hand no matter what, that'll be enough for me, okay?"Brendan looked at Deirdre's expression dotingly, wishing that everything that had happened today was just a dream. In that way, there wouldn't be any enmity between Deirdre and him!"Bren?" Brendan came back to his senses, and Deirdre frowned slightly. "Why are you spacing out? Did Madame Brighthall tell you something I don't know just now?""No," Brendan denied it immediately. He only hoped that
Deirdre's heart thumped slightly. "They left this afternoon? Are you sure?"Sam said, "Of course, I'm sure. I personally sent the partner to their car. Because Mr. Brighthall didn't show up, they were very upset. I apologized repeatedly for this."Halfway through this sentence, it suddenly dawned on Sam. "Why? Did Mr. Brighthall not return yesterday?"Deirdre frowned nervously. "He didn't come back last night, and I couldn't get through to his phone. I'm a little worried. Please, help me find out where he went at night.""Okay, Ms. McKinnon, don't worry. I'll check right away."After the call ended, Deirdre felt flustered. Did Brendan lie to her yesterday? He neither went to the company nor came back. Where did that man go? Thinking of Emily, she felt uneasy for no reason.Ophelia came over to comfort her, saying, "Don't be anxious. Brendan is already an adult. He can't disappear. Maybe he went back to the previous hotel to rest.""That's right..." Deirdre had no choice but to t
