"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
Deirdre first saw the clothes, then the limbs in her line of sight. The fair limbs were wrapped partially with the emerald green shawl that Madame Brighthall often wore.For a moment, Deirdre's mind went blank, and then she trembled as she reached out her hand.As she touched Madame Brighthall's face, a sticky sensation made her recoil in fear. Her fingertips were stained with blood, and Deirdre was dumbfounded."Madame Brighthall?" She quickly got up, but the door was suddenly pushed open before she could call for help.Ophelia appeared at the door and was shocked when she saw Deirdre and Madame Brighthall, who was lying in a pool of blood. "Deirdre? How dare you hurt Madame Brighthall!?"'Hurt?' Deirdre's face turned pale, and she immediately shook her head to explain, "No! Mom, I didn't lay a hand on Madame Brighthall. I had no idea she was—"A group of servants rushed in, one of whom had been with Madame Brighthall for a long time. Her eyes turned red when she saw the scene,
In silence, Brendan's face turned pale. He weakly clutched at Deirdre's wrist. "Deirdre, my mother will die sooner or later… Why must you… be so impatient?"As soon as he finished the sentence, Deirdre saw Brendan fall, crashing to the ground with a sickening thud."Brendan!" Deirdre shouted, throwing herself onto the ground. "Brendan! I didn't do it! I really didn't!"Tears flooded her eyes as she reached out to touch Brendan's face.Why was he so cold? Why was he so icy?Before she could even hold him, a maid furiously kicked her away. "Murderer! Get out of here! You killed the mistress, and now you want to harm her son!? If only the mistress hadn't let you in the house in the first place! It's all your fault, you jinx! The Brighthalls have only come to this because of you!"Deirdre's hair was messy, sticking to her face, and her pupils were dilated. Countless police officers streamed into the room, took away Madame Brighthall's body, and then put handcuffs on Deirdre's wrist.
