"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
After arriving at the family mansion, they saw a maid who had been waiting there for a long time. When she saw that Deirdre arrived, she motioned for them to be quiet."Ms. McKinnon, our mistress doesn't want to see you today and has notified all the maids, so we have to be careful. Sneak into our mistress' room and persuade her to send Mr. Brighthall to the hospital."The maid's voice sounded unfamiliar. Maybe it was a maid who worked in the backyard.Deirdre expressed her thanks in a low voice and couldn't help but say, "Can I go and see Bren first?"She was sweating profusely and said hoarsely, "I want to see what's going on with him. If it's too serious, I want to call an ambulance first."The maid stopped her. "Ms. McKinnon, I understand your concerns for Mr. Brighthall. You care about his injuries, but without the consent of our mistress, it'll be useless. Not to mention that maids are guarding Mr. Brighthall's room. The only thing I can help you with is to sneak you into ou
Was this why Dr. Ernie had not taught students for a long time? He was a well-known medical professor, and his research was highly accomplished internationally!"Since he is your apprentice, why did he go astray and get kicked out of the institute?"Feeling weak, Dr. Ernie held onto the wall. "That's because he is not interested in saving people but has ambitions to destroy people. He is a rare genius in medicine. When I first met him, he was modest, studious, and good at disguising himself."I didn't expect him to start researching drugs that are harmful to the human body behind my back to mentally devastate others. His first test subject was the first apprentice I accepted… That is, his senior."Sterling was in disbelief. No wonder he had heard people say that Dr. Ernie had once taken in two apprentices—one of them had been kicked out of the institute, and the other seemed to have disappeared."That person… How did he turn out?"Dr. Ernie's heart ached. "He is still living in m
Little did Sterling expect that the phone had constantly been showing an unreachable status as if someone had tampered with it and blocked his calls. He gnashed his teeth and relied on his memory to dial Sam's number.When the call connected, he spoke urgently. "I'm Sterling Fuller! Emily Collins is dangerous. Tell Brendan to stay away from her! Don't go see her alone!""Dududu—" The call was abruptly cut off, and Sam only caught the second half of his message.'Emily Collins is dangerous? Must not meet her alone?'Sam pursed his lips. He had no idea where Brendan had gone.-Brendan woke up from a loud door-knocking noise. He held on his forehead as intense pain and emptiness alternated, his face as white as paper.This was the first time he had such a severe side effect from drinking alcohol.The door-knocking sound had yet to cease. Brendan scanned the room and realized that he was in a room on top of the bar.He got out of bed and opened the door, and a waiter handed him
