Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1285 She Is Losing the Baby
Brendan was jolted back to reality when the presentation ended and realized he had been distracted.He clenched his fists in agitation. He did not have any idea why he felt flustered, but he felt as if his heart was constantly hanging high somewhere and that the heart would not return to its original spot before he received the response he wanted or did the thing he wanted to do.In fact, it was close to a breakthrough point. He felt as if his heart would crash ferociously and shatter into pieces."Mr. Brighthall?"Brendan was jolted back to reality. He stood up and picked up his jacket under the crowd's watchful eyes."I'm heading out. Send a report of the presentation summary to my office, and I'll go through it tomorrow."His walking pace was quickening without his notice as he dashed to the elevator while dialing Jet's phone number. Jet's phone was turned off, triggering Brendan's impatience for some unknown reason. Brendan furrowed his eyebrows ferociously until the elev

Emily feigned her disappointment soon. "Mr. Brighthall… Frankly, you still care about Ms. McKinnon in your heart, right? Something bad has happened to her, and you're actually so concerned…"Brendan shut his eyes anxiously and suppressed the agitation and restlessness he felt in his chest. He answered quickly, "I'm not concerned about her!"When Brendan noticed that it was hard to explain his anxiety, he pulled a long face and said, "She is sinful, but the child is innocent."Just like my father. If I had a choice, I wouldn't want him to be my father."Emily smiled. "So, it turns out that you're concerned about the child. You're right. Ms. McKinnon has committed crimes, but her child is innocent indeed. However, Mr. Brighthall… Are you planning on keeping the child?"You should know that Ms. McKinnon is the child's mother. Keeping the child means that you're keeping Ms. McKinnon…"Brendan's expression turned solemn. "So?"Even if I keep her, I won't allow her to gain any advanta

Jet was shaking with fear, but he could not help feeling puzzled. He found Brendan's expression to be strange.'Mr. Brighthall… Has he really fallen in love with Ms. McKinnon, who is in surgery now?'He was actually fine with his subordinate defying his order. One should know that Jet was convinced that he would be kicked out of the organization the moment he helped Sam and acted as the scapegoat.The operation theater's door opened after a prolonged silence. The doctor came out, and Brendan stood up abruptly before Jet had reacted to the situation."How is she?"The anger in the doctor's heart vanished significantly after seeing how anxious Brendan was. "Are you the patient's husband? How could you make her kneel in a cold place for two hours!? Fortunately, her body has recovered pretty well from her previous treatment. Otherwise, not even God could have saved her today!"There's a limit to showing one's penitence. Is it okay for a pregnant woman to be kneeling for a long time?"

Brendan placed the item on the table. "Dinner, would you like some?"Naturally, Jet did not have the courage to answer 'yes'. Even if Brendan were to offer, he would not accept the offer. If he were to join Brendan for dinner, he would need to behave himself like a cowardly maiden. He would have to act cautiously and even have to hide his burp.Jet was surprised that Brendan would have his dinner there. If that were the case, it must mean that… Brendan would stay the night, right?Jet waved his hand and rejected the offer while he asked, "Shall I come over and switch with you later, sir?"Brendan raised his head in surprise. Jet felt his heart racing and braced himself as he said, "I… I'm worried that you might be too tired. I can stay and watch Deir— No, Ms. McKinnon overnight, so you can go home to rest."Brendan's expression was icy cold. "Does she need someone to watch her? You don't need to be bothered with her. As for me, I'll go home to rest when I'm tired."Jet nodded rep

Brendan's statements and actions showed that their relationship had already ended.Yet, Deirdre felt her heart wrench in pain beyond her control at the thought of them separating."He…" Deirdre raised her head, and her lips parted in hesitation for a while before she asked, "Has Brendan come to visit me?"It would be great even if it was once. Jet answered, "Yes, of course.""Really?" Deirdre's eyes lit up. "When did he come? Where is he now? Why have I not… heard his voice?"Jet paused for a moment. In the end, he could not bring himself to tell her that Brendan had abandoned her and left last night. He said, "Mr. Brighthall got here when you were receiving treatment in the operation theater. He kept you company in the room for a while, and I believe he left afterward because he had work in the company.""Brendan came… to keep me company while I was still unconscious after the surgery?""Yes, of course," Jet said in a convincing tone. It was not a lie, and his voice sounded c
Last Updated : 2023-05-29Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1290 Dare You Wager a Bet With Me
"What is it?" Deirdre was extremely puzzled. Emily sounded so arrogant that Deirdre could not help feeling uneasy.Emily approached her step by step. "Brendan doesn't love you anymore."When you were fighting for your life in the operation theater yesterday, I was with Brendan. He told me in person that he cares about me now, and I'm the woman that he wants to marry."Deirdre's head was humming. She came to respond to the situation soon enough and said in a mocking tone, "Emily, you must know your limits even if you're just daydreaming. Everyone knows that Brendan's hatred toward you has already reached its max point. He would have dismembered you if I had not stopped him from cutting you up with great effort."I may be lying on the sick bed now, but it doesn't mean that my head is not working anymore. Do you think I'll fall for you blowing your own trumpet?"Emily expressed her embarrassment and anger.She felt especially embarrassed by Deirdre's contempt. However, she soon

"I was a little worried after I heard from you yesterday that Ms. McKinnon was in the operating room, so I came here to see her. She suddenly said that she was not feeling well, so I went to help her out of concern. But… she pushed me hard..."Emily parted her hair with her hands. Her forehead was swollen and bleeding, and it looked frightening. When she touched it, Emily gasped in pain, and tears fell down from her eyes.Seeing her pitiful appearance, Brendan felt panicked and heartbroken. Just like that, his dislike for Deirdre deepened."Deirdre, I don't care what your reasons are, but it's wrong to hurt others!" he stated condescendingly, his tone completely indifferent. "I won't warn you about this again. Apologize!"Deirdre tried hard to see Brendan's face clearly. She never anticipated that, out of the two of them, Brendan would choose to trust Emily over her.She choked up, saying, "What if I don't apologize?"Brendan's eyes turned cold. "If you don't apologize, I'll take

Brendan frowned slightly. His eyes had a complicated look as he pushed her away calmly. "Don't be afraid. She's just trying to trick us."In the end, he didn't force Deirdre to apologize. Instead, he turned around and left. Seeing this, Emily was frustrated as she felt that Deirdre was only one step away from breaking down.But if she went hard on her, Brendan would become suspicious of her instead. After all, Ryker's hypnotism could not make Brendan completely lose his mind.After Emily went out, she saw that Brendan was in the corridor not far away. As soon as she stepped forward, she heard Brendan ask in a displeased tone, "You said in front of Deirdre that I like you and want to marry you?""I..." Emily had already found an excuse. "I just want Ms. McKinnon to give up as soon as possible. She has been provocative toward me since I went to the ward, saying that you will not part with her and the child in her womb and that even if she killed Madame Brighthall, you would just thro

"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. "Do you... hate mom for not being there and not recognizing you?"Sean shook his head frantically. "As long as you're here… That's enough…"Deirdre hugged him tightly, and Brendan approached, wrapping them both in his embrace.When they brought S
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1572 The Parkers is Entrusted to You
"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
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1571 Revenge and Redemption
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.-
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1570 The Evidence to Turn the Tables
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
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1569 Back to Village Alnwick
"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
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1568 The Plan Was Exposed
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
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1566 Something From Mother
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
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1565 He's His Child
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?" Deirdre forced herself to calm
