Amelie seductively stuffed the room key card into Brendan's neckline, smiling provocatively. "You're so loyal to your pregnant girlfriend, but I can offer you things she can't. The room number is on the key card. If you're interested... I'll be waiting for you there."Brendan took the room card but didn't discard it. He kept it instead. Amelie's smile grew wider, confident that she could win him over in the end, no matter how cold he seemed.Later, Brendan arrived at the table, followed by Amelie.Deirdre asked Brendan, "Why did you take so long? The food is getting cold. Are you feeling unwell?"Brendan glanced at Amelie, who winked back at him. He lowered his head and began using his knife and fork. "I'm fine. I just couldn't find the bathroom, so I took a little longer."Deirdre nodded, not suspecting anything, and continued sipping her soup with a spoon. Brendan cut the steak into pieces and served some to Deirdre before cutting another piece for himself.Amelie crossed her l
"I've toyed with a few, and I guarantee she will return for more. I will make your girlfriend feel—"Brendan got up, grabbed Logan's neckline, and slammed his fist hard on his evil and filthy face.After Brendan delivered a punch to Logan's face, he didn't relent. The depth of his hatred was boundless, and his fist struck Logan's face relentlessly, like a solid stone. With each scream from Logan, blood spilled from his mouth.Amelie gasped, her hand covering her mouth in shock. She never expected such a violent altercation to unfold before her eyes. As the realization sank in, she cried out, "Help! Someone is assaulting my boyfriend! Help! Someone is assaulting my boyfriend!"All eyes in the vicinity turned toward them, but Brendan showed no signs of stopping. His eyes blazed with a crimson hue, fueled by a desire to inflict harm upon Logan.Soon, the staff rushed over, panic-stricken, and managed to pull Brendan away.Logan bore the brunt of the assault, his face badly swollen a
Amidst Amelie's furious accusations, she angrily pointed at Brendan. "You hit my boyfriend! Just you wait. My boyfriend and I won't let you off the hook!"Brendan's eyes displayed indifference and hostility. His clenched fists still bore the stains of blood as he broke free from the grasp of the security guards. He straightened his cuffs and smoothed out the wrinkles with a composed demeanor, maintaining his usual elegance."I'll wait. I'll be waiting for you to cause more trouble."His calm and detached attitude sent a wave of panic through Amelie's heart.Logan, covering his mouth as blood trickled out, clenched his teeth and deliberately yelled, "Brendan, I know you're a capable man. You're probably not just an average Joe in Neve. But I refuse to believe that you can escape Neve's laws!"As soon as the words left her mouth, a commotion erupted."Brendan? Is he Brendan Brighthall?""That's the person in charge of the Brighthall Group in Neve. I've heard he's young but proud a
In any case, Brendan had made the first move, making it difficult for them to gain the favor of the onlookers.Deirdre turned toward Amelie and calmly spoke. "Ms. Murray, you claim that Brendan harassed you. Do you have any concrete evidence to support your claim? How can you prove that he harassed you? If you continue making these allegations without proof, causing public outrage against us, I can sue you for slander."Amelie's expression changed, and she clenched her hand, causing her eyes to redden."So you're saying that he harassed me... but I still need to provide evidence to prove it?""Of course!" Deirdre chuckled. "In that case, I could also say that you initially seduced Brendan, but when he rejected you, you became angry and had your boyfriend insult him, leading to Brendan retaliating. In that scenario, it would be your fault, wouldn't it?"Brendan glanced at Deirdre sideways, surprised that she had accidentally revealed the truth.Amelie looked flustered upon hearing
Deirdre's clear and sharp words showcased her intelligence, making Brendan grow fonder of her with each passing moment. He suddenly realized why he had fallen in love with her in the first place and even pretended to be Kyran for her."Don't worry," he assured her, planting a gentle kiss on the back of her ear. "I won't let you down."After speaking, he straightened his posture, conveying a sense of solemnity. Deirdre immediately felt a wave of relief, sensing that Brendan had a plan in mind.Amelie assisted Logan to the sofa, her eyes filled with resentment. Logan couldn't speak, but he managed to wink at Amelie. She lowered her voice and said, "Don't worry. There are no surveillance cameras where I provided him with the room card. This couple is incredibly arrogant, and we must teach them a lesson."Logan nodded, and they patiently awaited the arrival of the police.Since Deirdre had promised to settle everyone's bill, most of the onlookers remained in the restaurant, eager to w
Amelie felt a mix of extreme embarrassment and anger after being scolded. "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't know you at all, and no one seduced you!"Gossip started spreading among the onlookers. Frustrated, Amelie stomped her feet and shouted, "Show me the evidence! Otherwise, I will sue you for slander!"Brendan spoke up unexpectedly at that moment as the man and the woman exchanged glances. "I have the evidence."Amelie and Logan looked at Brendan in disbelief. He retrieved his phone from his pocket and played a recording."Ammy, it seems your charm didn't work this time. Didn't you assure me that you could win him over? Looks like you failed."Right from the start, I fell in love with your girlfriend. She's beautiful, pure, and has a hint of allure... I'm head over heels for her!"Of course, my girlfriend is equally stunning, so you won't lose out on this deal. By the way, your girlfriend is pregnant, right? I noticed she's quite slim, but her belly has grown a bi
Brendan spoke slowly, his words directed at Amelie. "Amelie, your public slander has tarnished my reputation and caused trouble for the Brighthall Group. Tomorrow afternoon, I will be sending you a lawyer's letter. Prepare yourself for the lawsuit. Additionally..."His gaze shifted to Logan.Still reeling from the pain, Logan couldn't help but shiver under Brendan's intense stare."Officer, considering Logan's ability to hurl obscene insults at my wife, one has to wonder if he has a history of targeting women undetected. I request a thorough investigation to ensure that no women have been deceived or harmed."This was why Brendan had waited for the arrival of the police. The officer, visibly disgusted, responded with righteousness, "Of course. Their actions constitute illegal crimes. We will take them to the police station for further investigation. Rest assured. We won't go easy on them."The other police officers detained Logan and Amelie, leading them away to the waiting police
"Well, it's clean," Deirdre replied with a flush on her face. She wriggled free and submerged herself in the hot spring.Brendan followed suit, but he pulled her into his embrace, sitting her on his lap. "Deirdre, I dislike it when other women touch me," he said.Deirdre nodded, understanding that Brendan had always been like this. However, there was a certain tolerance when it came to Charlene, although there was still a distance between them."I washed for a long time, and my skin turned red, but I can still feel the disgusting scent of that woman lingering on the places she touched," Brendan added.Brendan tightened his arms around her, drew her closer, and their skin pressed tightly together. The scorching heat spread throughout their bodies, creating a tingling, numbing sensation."So, help me, Deirdre," Brendan whispered in her ear.Stimulated, Deirdre bit her lower lip, trying to suppress her emotions."How can I help you?" she asked."Replace her scent with yours."
