"Hate her to the core?" Ryker smiled disdainfully. "I just got the news that Brendan ordered his subordinates to investigate the cause of Charlene's death.""What!?" The pitch of Emily's voice changed. "How did this happen? Wasn't he under the impression that Deirdre killed Charlene? You tampered with Brendan's bad memories and inserted Deirdre into them. It stands to reason that Brendan would not suspect anything..."She stared at Ryker. "Could it be that your hypnotism has lost its effect again?"Ryker was not upset at all. "If my hypnotism had lost its effect, wouldn't Brendan have already recovered his memory? Why would he have to ask his subordinates to investigate?"Emily felt that his remark made sense, but she was still furious. "If that's the case, then what's going on?"Ryker's eyes had a solemn look. "That Deirdre is not as simple-minded as we think. She carries a heavy weight in Brendan's heart."Emily was taken aback. "You mean... Deirdre did all of this? She asked B
"Of course." Emily snorted coldly. She was not willing to let that woman marry Brendan.On the second day after receiving the information, Emily went to Brendan's villa in person.Unsure when Jet would receive firsthand information, Emily had to be prepared to prevent Brendan from getting it ahead of time. As she entered the hall, she immediately noticed Deirdre, who had her hair in a bun and was enjoying some fruit.Brendan sat next to her, occasionally accepting bites from Deirdre. When the grapes turned out to be sour, he leaned in and kissed her sweet lips to counteract the sourness. However, instead of approval, he received a disapproving look from Deirdre. She pursed her lips and wrinkled her face in displeasure."What? You fed it to me. Since it's sour, you will naturally have to bear the consequences." Brendan spoke righteously. Aggrieved, Deirdre said, "Then I won't feed you anymore.""Okay, then I'll eat the one in your mouth," he retorted.Emily's face contorted in r
As long as Brendan regained his memories, everything would be solved.However, Deirdre had ignored one of the biggest problems—Brendan admitted that he liked Emily. He wanted to marry Emily, which a mere loss of memory couldn't explain. Since Brendan had chosen to do it, he naturally had done it due to his inner desires.How important was Emily in his heart? Deirdre suddenly didn't dare to continue thinking about it.She sat on the sofa alone for a long time. Only when Mrs. Wanner finished her work in the kitchen and told Deirdre it was time for lunch did Deirdre realize that Brendan had gone after Emily for over three hours.During these three hours, anything could happen, and she was the only one who didn't know what had happened."Alright." Deirdre got up. Seeing that, Mrs. Wanner looked outside and asked, "Where's Mr. Brighthall? Did he say he's coming back for lunch today?"After that, Mrs. Wanner froze for a moment and quickly sensed the tense atmosphere.Deirdre was stu
"Sorry, I have only limited time to freely make a call, so... I didn't contact you immediately," said Deirdre.Tobey sounded down as he said, "Silly girl, you don’t have to apologize. Clearly, I should be the one to apologize to you. I am a man, but I couldn't protect you and let you fall into that man's hands. Now every time I think about it, I resent my incompetence."Deirdre's expression changed, and her hesitant eyes were reddish. If Tobey knew that she was with Brendan again, he would probably want to curse her. What was worse, Brendan might not truly be in love with her."Deirdre?" Tobey didn't get a response for a long time and couldn't help but ask again, "Are you okay now? Now that you can call me freely, does it mean that Brendan has separated from you?"Deirdre lowered her eyes. "I'm sorry, Tobey, he and I... are together again."The other end of the call suddenly fell silent. Deirdre bit her lip and struggled internally, and soon after, she heard Tobey sigh softly. "Di
But in the end, Deirdre overestimated her position in Brendan's heart. He would rather go to the study than come to her room to explain."I..." Brendan was about to speak, but his throat seemed to be stuck close in the next second. He held his forehead as mixed feelings overwhelmed him, and he couldn't figure out his thoughts at all. As Deirdre was waiting for him, disappointment arose in her heart.She lowered her head. "Brendan, I just need your answer. I'm not the kind of woman who can't let go of a relationship. As long as you choose Emily between me and her, I promise, I will stop harboring feelings for you, and we can just end it."Upon hearing that, a stabbing pain shot through Brendan's heart. Deirdre said her last sentence so easily. Was it so easy for her to let go of him?But… What about him? His feelings were clear in his heart. He raised his head and said with red eyes, "I don't want you to leave."Deirdre's fingertips trembled, and she tried to keep a calm and compos
Brendan was lost in thought. He liked Deirdre from the bottom of his heart—those feelings were beyond his reason. He had feelings and longed for her. But this was not exclusive to Deirdre. He also felt this way toward Emily.This confused him, and he could not figure out the answer. If he loved Deirdre and was reluctant to part with Emily, then what was this relationship to him? Was it fair to Deirdre?Because of that thought, he didn't dare to face Deirdre after he returned. He was very guilty and ashamed. In the end, Brendan did not go after Deirdre."Mrs. Wanner, follow her, and don't let anything happen to her."With a dazed expression, he opened the door and entered his room.-Deirdre walked out of the villa. The sun was very warm, but her heart was cold. As for why Brendan had not come after her, he had likely found his answer in his choice between Emily and her.Deirdre caressed her stomach as she laughed at herself for falling in love with him. If she hated Brendan as s
Deirdre hesitated again and again before she answered the phone. She held up the phone to her ear and said, "Is this Dr. Chapman? Hello.""Ms. McKinnon, it's me." An attractive and gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, and Deirdre froze for a moment.Declan continued, "Don't look surprised and don't call out my name. Someone should be watching you not far away at this moment."Deirdre, feeling astounded, pursed her lips and subconsciously hid her hands in her cuffs."Then... Can they hear me talk?" she asked, her voice filled with concern.Declan understood her concern and smiled reassuringly. "Naturally, they can't hear you as long as you keep your voice down."Deirdre let out a sigh of relief but was also curious. "Mr. King, why did you call suddenly and use... this method? And why did you say that someone is watching me not far away? Did you discover something?"Declan was as calm as ever. "The information I found out is actually similar to what you've found out,
"Then that means he told—""No." Declan knew what Deirdre was going to say and interrupted her. "Ms. McKinnon, I hope you think through it carefully. If he loves you so much, will he suddenly change and fall in love with someone else? That woman is still the culprit who destroyed his body."Deirdre was stunned and bit her lower lip in confusion. Then, Declan added, "I heard Laura mention hypnosis. It can make a person have feelings for another person invisibly, and it is not controlled by oneself."Deirdre's face turned pale in an instant, and her soft lips trembled. She pressed her teeth tightly, lowered her head to restrain her emotions, and said, "Mr. King, so you mean that Brendan was hypnotized to have feelings for Emily, and he can't even control his feelings for Emily?""That's right," replied Declan. "The hypnotizer is on the same side as that group of people, so they will naturally attack Brendan. The weakening of Bren's body is a sign of their attack."I thought he could
