Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1468 No Turning Back
"Indulged in wishful thinking?" Deirdre felt slightly dizzy from the anger. "You're a disgrace!"Brendan turned his head to glance at her in contempt and spoke nonchalantly. "Disgrace? Don't blame me. You seemed to have had a good time last night too, right?"Deirdre gritted her teeth and angrily threw the pillow on the floor. She vowed never to believe Brendan again, not a single word.The incident took her by surprise because she had always believed that Brendan would never break his promises. This was completely out of character for him.She had underestimated Emily's influence on Brendan, and that realization hit her hard.Later that day, Deirdre met the female caregiver arranged by Emily. A young and agile caregiver, Frances Ramos entered the house respectfully and introduced herself.Brendan was pleased with Frances and instructed her to take good care of Deirdre's diet and daily routine. But Deirdre felt uneasy hearing this and abruptly left the room.Brendan closed his d

Despite Deirdre's refusal to believe it, Ryker remained firm in his stance. He insisted that she comply with him, or else he would take it out on Brendan."Alright." Deirdre nodded slowly, realizing she had no better choice at this point. She knew Ryker couldn't hypnotize her.As they headed out, Ryker handed her a jacket, draping it over her shoulders. Deirdre felt uneasy with his action, as it breached the safe distance two strangers would maintain."I'll do it myself," she said, putting on the jacket and walking along the roadside.Ryker casually remarked, "Ms. McKinnon, you don't need to be on guard with me. Your mother and I are partners, and I promised to treat you well. So, we're friends."Deirdre's gaze momentarily became distracted at the mention of her mother. She found Ryker cruel whenever he brought up Ophelia."There's no need for you to mention her to get close to me. My mother and I are no longer on the same path."Ryker seemed incredulous. "Ms. McKinnon, your mot

Deirdre's silence was filled with emotions as she looked at Ryker. After a while, she asked, "How can I trust you? There's no trust when working with a man like you.""The trust lies in your mother. We've always shown mercy toward you. Otherwise, you wouldn't be alive today."His wildly conceited speech left Deirdre breathless."She told you not to kill me?""Yes." Ryker nodded. "As allies, it's part of our exchange condition, and we'll honor our promise. So, you don't have to worry about us going back on our word. We won't kill you, and when Brendan is no longer useful to us, we'll eliminate him, of course."Deirdre bit her lower lip tightly, considering for a moment, and asked, "What do you want from me?""To retrieve an item for me.""An item?"Ryker became serious. "What item it is, I can't tell you yet. You'll only need to follow my orders and execute my plan, that's all."Deirdre lowered her gaze. "Alright then. But you have to give me some time to think it through.""H

Brendan's sudden request for Deirdre to go to the room surprised her. They had never done this before and usually maintained a certain distance between them.Deirdre pretended to be unfazed and got up from the sofa. Ryker narrowed his eyes and asked, "Ms. McKinnon, do you often go upstairs alone with Mr. Brighthall?""Yes," Deirdre replied calmly. "Whenever he has free time, he reads bedtime stories to our child upstairs.""Read bedtime stories?" Ryker raised an eyebrow in surprise.Deirdre nodded. "I'm not sure where he got the idea, maybe because this child will be his only one in the future, so he wants to connect with her through prenatal education.""I see." Ryker didn't take it too seriously. Before Deirdre left, he whispered in her ear, "I hope you won't forget our conversation this morning. I'll come tomorrow for your answer."Ryker picked up his briefcase and walked away, leaving Deirdre clenching her palms tightly. She took a deep breath and approached the door of Brend

Was there any difference?Brendan's fist clenched tightly. How dare she question the difference between him and Ryker? It was clear...Anger simmered in Brendan's eyes as he spoke in a low, intense tone, "Is there any difference between me and him? Fine, I'll tell you."Abruptly, he stood up and pressed himself against Deirdre, kissing her forcefully. His strong arms held her tightly, restricting her movement.Deirdre's surprise quickly turned into panic as she pushed hard and managed to push Brendan away, but the lingering sensation of his breath remained between her lips and teeth.Brendan's voice turned icy as he said, "Do you feel it now? That's the difference! If I were Ryker, regardless of your resistance, your clothes would have been torn off by now. With him, you won't find any respect or freedom."You may think you're beautiful, but there are countless women more beautiful than you in this world. He can do whatever he pleases with you. And when he grows tired of you, do

Deirdre arched her waist and looked down at her protruding abdomen. She complained, "Your father is an idiot, a complete fool. If only he had waited for me, I wouldn't have let him be hypnotized again and suffer, but now..."As Deirdre spoke, her eyes filled with sadness, and she almost stopped breathing to force herself to remain calm."But it's too late to say all this now. He has lost his memory, so I'm the only one who can uncover everything. I want to know their purpose and find a way to break your father's hypnosis. Even if I can't break it, I believe Declan will help me."After speaking, Deirdre exhaled as if she had made up her mind and peacefully closed her eyes. However, she had a bad dream while sleeping through the night. When she woke up, she felt dizzy. As she went downstairs, she was surprised to find that Brendan hadn't left yet. Lately, her fatigue had been getting worse, and sometimes she could sleep until 10:00 a.m.She didn't feel as exhausted today, but she sti

Deirdre frowned, hesitant about physical contact. "Will it hurt?" she asked, referring to the massage.Ryker seemed to understand her concerns. "No, it won't hurt. I'll just apply pressure on the acupuncture points on the top of your head. I'll wear gloves to keep my hands clean and prevent any dirt from touching your skin."With Ryker's reassurance, Deirdre saw no reason to refuse. "Okay, sorry for the trouble," she said.Ryker responded, taking out gloves from his pocket and putting them on. With his slender fingertips, he gently supported Deirdre's head and located the acupuncture points along her hairline, applying gentle pressure."How does it feel?" he asked.Deirdre closed her eyes, surprised by the comforting sensation of having her acupuncture points pressed. Reluctant to open her eyes, she let out a soft "mm" in response.Unable to hear clearly, Ryker leaned closer, his lips near Deirdre's face. Just as he was about to ask again, Brendan suddenly stood up, causing a lou

Ryker's gentle and concerned voice echoed in Deirdre's ears. Calmly, Deirdre gritted her teeth, shook her head, and pushed his hand away."I'm fine. I just ate too much, and my stomach feels uncomfortable.""It's a normal pregnancy reaction, Ms. McKinnon. You're already in the late stages of your pregnancy, but you still have a good appetite. You're not too picky with your food, which is quite lucky," Ryker replied in his usual manner."Some pregnant women experience vomiting and upset stomachs after eating, making it difficult for them to sleep at night. That kind of pain is more intense.""Yes," Deirdre said, lowering her head and gently touching her protruding abdomen. "I am lucky."As she lowered her head, several strands of her hair, which she had put up in a bun, became loose and hung down the back of her neck, exposing her porcelain skin. The hair tickled her sensitive skin, causing it to blush scarlet.Ryker's eyes darkened at the sight, and he reluctantly reached out his

"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
