Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 135 Promise
“Alright…” Suppressing the bitterness in her voice, Deirdre nodded strenuously. “I’ll wait.”She was planning to return to her room when a song filled the entire room all of a sudden.Deirdre was stunned. She knew the song like the back of her hand because it was her ringtone. Brendan was rather surprised as well. He pulled the drawer with a long face and saw Sterling’s name displayed on the caller ID.Sterling had attempted to call Deirdre previously but he had stopped calling after finding out that Brendan was holding the phone without any intention of passing it back to Deirdre. Brendan’s face turned green with rage now that Sterling was suddenly calling Deirdre for no apparent reason. Deirdre did not have the courage to act rashly. Her hands were tightly clenched, and she suppressed all hope as she asked, “Is my phone ringing?”Brendan narrowed his eyes and inquired closely without answering her question, “Whose call are you looking forward to picking up?”He suppressed

Why was he so exasperated to learn this? Because all of this was supposed to belong to him!Brendan let go of Deirdre at the height of his rage. She thought this meant she could breathe a sigh of relief, but a new force simply knocked her off her footing, causing her to lie on the desk. She felt his body pressing against hers and then felt his labored breathing.A chill crawled up her spine. She knew what was about to happen. “No, Brendan! No!” she yelled, struggling.He acted as though he could not hear her. He grabbed her arms and pinned them to the side, sneering, “Why? Isn’t this the point of your existence? Why else do you think I let you live by my side? And you think you’ll get to live with Sterling one day—ha! Fat f*cking chance!”His free hand gripped her neck, his eyes wild with frosty rage. He pushed her down on the desk with his weight and did not care one bit about her struggle, protests, or reluctance. Charlene listened from outside his study. As she clenched her

Deirdre pushed herself to get out of bed. The phone in the living room was still shrieking incessantly—almost like an audio representation of suffering without end. She got out of bed with great difficulty and walked through the door. She then picked up the phone—And Brendan’s annoyed snarl greeted her. “Took you long enough!”Deirdre’s fingers tightened around the receiver. As if he had not played a part in this! It had been cold the day he had stripped her naked in his study and forcibly had sex with her. She had felt both chills and a heat rush after that and had unsurprisingly come down with a fever. Even now, she was working her way through a brain fog.Not that he would care, anyway. All he cared about was spilling his seed and making himself feel good. To him, she had always been a subhuman at best. “I have a headache. I just woke up,” she croaked.Brendan snickered. “Would it kill you to cut back on your malingering? It’s almost late evening, for Christ’s sake.”Deird

God. Every part of that cordiality sounded so manufactured and phony. Deirdre was in no mood to play the game, so she placed the box on a rack next to the door and turned on her heel.“Miss McKinnon, wait.” Charlene stopped her as she rose from her seat with a smile. “What’s the hurry? Don’t you wanna look around? You know, enjoy the vibe now that you’re here?”“Not interested,” Deirdre rebutted nonchalantly. She had never been interested in what the affluent upper-class considered haute couture or their glamor. The only reason she had even wanted to be Brendan’s wife was because she had loved him.Of course, even that had gone away.“I brought you your necklace,” she stated placidly. “If there’s nothing else you need, excuse me.”“But there is oneeee thing,” Charlene replied quickly. Her smile deepened. Then, she fished out her phone gracefully and played a video. The whimpers and cries of a dog being tortured filled the air.Deirdre stopped dead in her tracks. She could feel

“Bren!” Charlene sputtered and fled right into Brendan’s arms in terror. She gawked at Deirdre, fear widening her eyes as she yelped, “She’s gone crazy, Bren! She’s lost it and she is trying to kill me!”Remnants from Deirdre’s chokehold were still etched around her neck, sore and stark. A little up ahead, Brendan could see tears flooding the corner of her eyes. The sight provoked something ugly within him.Exasperation. He had only left Charlene alone for a while, but it had been enough time for this to happen. Had he been there one second sooner…He lunged, his fingers digging into Deirdre’s shoulders like talons, his strength so totalizing that it could crush bones. “Deirdre f*cking McKinnon! You’ll never f*cking learn, will you?! Even after all this punishment, you still can’t stop harming Lena!”Deirdre’s tears rolled down her cheeks endlessly, wetting the floor. Her chest was aching so much that even breathing had become hard. She glowered at Brendan, her eyes beet red, and r

Sam approached Deirdre gingerly. “Miss McKinnon? Come on. We should go,” he said. “That… That was too reckless of you, miss. You shouldn’t have acted out that way during an important event like this one. Things could have gone really bad, and… You know Mr. Brighthall wouldn’t possibly let you off lightly.”Deirdre knew he was speaking the truth. As she cast her eyes on the ground, her tears rained down on the cold, hard floor before she replied, “Did you know? The homeless man who murdered Bliss… was Charlene’s employee, Sam. She hired him.”Sam was bewildered. “What?!” Deirdre pressed her hand against her chest, but it did nothing to relieve her from her pain. “She told me… that Bliss kept looking in the direction of the mansion when… when it was about to die,” she croaked. “It… was waiting for me to save it, Sam. And what was I doing at the time? I… I was s-shopping for new clothes! I f-failed Bliss. I k-k-killed it!”“No, Miss McKinnon,” Sam rebuffed with a frown. He had recove

Deirdre returned to her room in the mansion and sat on the edge of her bed in a dissociative trance.Minutes crawled, possibly hours. She had no idea how long it took until she finally felt sleep catching up to her. She lay down. Then, suddenly, her door swung open from a kick. Brendan lurched like a mad beast and pinned her wrists against the floor. The air chilled, but Deirdre could almost feel frost coming from the man’s eyes furiously scanning her face.“Didn’t even lose a sleep over the sh*t you do, did you?” Brendan bellowed, his rage-powered might crushing her shoulders.“That f*cking injury on Lena’s neck! Nothing could make it go away, and everyone saw it, McKinnon! They were talking about it behind her back and among themselves during her own party all because of the stupid sh*t you did! She wouldn’t even come home after the party! That’s how humiliated you made her feel, you black-hearted b*tch! Do you even know how to f*cking stop!?”Pain flared like wildfire across h

At that moment, Deirdre’s mind went blank. She reflexively rushed toward a corner and tightly stuck against the wall.She heard Brendan's disdainful smirk. “McKinnon, I didn’t know you were afraid of death. I thought you weren't afraid of anything, and that was why you’d dare to injure Lena.”The chill storehouse was far warmer than the chill in Deirdre’s heart. She stared into space with reddened eyes and said in a quavering voice, “Brendan, would you regret it if you were to realize one day that Charlene is the Devil behind everything that had happened? That she killed Bliss and has arranged all these?”Brendan was subconsciously startled. ‘Lena killed Bliss. She was the culprit behind all these…’For an unknown reason, he felt a quick moment of sharp heartache when he thought of the possibility. It was instantly transformed into a detesting frown, and he glared at Deidre.“McKinnon! Even after all these, you still can’t stop yourself from slandering Lena, can you!?” Brendan’s l

"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
