Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1479 Delirious
In an instant, Brendan stabbed the fruit knife toward his arm without hesitation, feeling a sudden pain that brought him back to his senses. Clenching the knife tightly and gritting his teeth, he stumbled toward the bathroom.Unable to see the blood but catching its scent, Deirdre refrained from touching Brendan and gritted her teeth, hastily leaving the room.Downstairs, Frances was still tidying up. Holding her breath, Deirdre urged, "Call the doctor! Tell him to come right away!"Knowing that Brendan had his own family doctor, Frances agreed, but when she picked up the phone, she hesitated and ended up calling Ryker instead."Deirdre wants to call the family doctor?" Ryker feigned ignorance and asked, "What happened?"Frances explained, "Ms. McKinnon was in Mr. Brighthall's room, and then Mr. Brighthall went in. Afterward, Ms. McKinnon rushed out to call the family doctor.""I understand," Ryker replied.Confused by his response, Frances asked, "Mr. Wight, should I call the d
Last Updated : 2023-07-17Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1480 Did You Make the Call?
The current Deirdre was the piece of meat that Brendan could feast on. Even if Deirdre's protruding abdomen trembled violently as if it couldn't withstand any torture… Brendan's eyes were red, and he lost his mind and bent down.Desperate, Deirdre searched for something at the top of her head. Upon finding the object, she hesitated for only two seconds before hurling it at Brendan's neck. With a loud thud, Brendan fell headfirst onto her body and toppled sideways.Instinctively, Deirdre supported his head, but the blood on her hand pushed her emotions to the brink. With red eyes and gritted teeth, she rose from the ground, turned off the water, and reached for a bathrobe.As she touched the unconscious man on the ground again, his body still radiated intense heat. The moment her hand made contact, it scalded her. Deirdre's hatred for Ryker intensified.But what surprised her even more was...Deirdre's gaze landed on a certain place, causing her to feel awkward. After struggling fo

The family doctor went upstairs, followed by Frances, but Deirdre stopped her. "You don't need to come up! Just wait downstairs.""Ms. McKinnon, since your eyesight is not good and the doctor needs to take care of Mr. Brighthall, I can be of great help by staying by your side," Frances offered.Deirdre was aware of Frances' potential assistance, but Brendan's unique condition made her cautious. Frances could be a spy for Ryker, so Deirdre couldn't reveal the truth."It's not a big issue. I'll manage alone in the room. You can go downstairs and make some tea. I'll come down and have it later," Deirdre replied firmly.With that, Deirdre entered the room with the family doctor and closed the door.The family doctor was stunned when he saw Brendan lying unconscious on the carpet, blood on the back of his neck."He was drugged! I'm pregnant, and if I didn't knock him out, something bad would have happened!" Deirdre explained.The family doctor snapped out of his daze, realizing that

"Mhmm." Deirdre replied quickly, "He's much better now. The fever has subsided.""That's good," said the family doctor, pointing to the prescription. "I've prescribed some medicine for Mr. Brighthall. Boil it for him tomorrow morning. As for the wounds on his arm and the back of his neck, I'll come by later to re-dress them.""Alright, thank you," nodded Deirdre.The family doctor didn't linger for long as it was late and quickly left with his medicinal kit.Before heading back upstairs to her room, Deirdre instructed Frances.Closing the door behind her, she felt an intense ache in her lower back, making it difficult to stand up straight. Her face displayed a complex expression as certain images flashed through her mind—shame and uneasiness made it hard for her to lift her head.Fortunately, today's incident had finally come to an end. Deirdre cleaned herself up in the bathroom and lay in bed, contemplating how she would explain everything to Brendan the next day.However, Bren

"I admit I didn't consider that aspect thoroughly," Ryker replied casually as if the idea had occurred to him on a whim. "It was sudden, and I thought it would be the most convenient and efficient way, so I acted impulsively."Deirdre didn't look pleased. "Even if it was impulsive, you're still a doctor.""Yes, that's why I'll wholeheartedly face this collaboration with Ms. McKinnon," Ryker said sincerely. "For instance, I'll answer one question for you."Deirdre held her breath. The truth was within reach now."I believe you have many questions in your mind. I can give you an opportunity to have your doubts answered." Ryker smiled with interest.Deirdre clenched her palm. The answer seemed urgent, but she hesitated."I'll give you one chance, Ms. McKinnon. But certain private and confidential topics won't be disclosed," Ryker warned.Deirdre's gaze darkened. "You said you want something from Brendan, but I've never heard of your group. You're not from Neve, right? Where are you

Deirdre took a deep breath and held her head high with effort. "Isn't this normal? Ever since I married Brendan, I've been nothing but a joke. He doesn't love me. He sees me as a substitute, and maybe we developed genuine feelings along the way, but—""But he has forgotten about that connection," Ryker replied, smiling.Deirdre clenched her fists. "Yes.""I never expected your emotions to be so turbulent. I apologize. I didn't intend for it to be this way. Alas, to achieve my goals, I must proceed like this," Ryker said, showing no remorse.Deirdre lowered her head. "You don't have to make yourself sound righteous. And even if you did, what can I do to you, especially when you specifically aimed to destroy this relationship?""It's not the same," Ryker said firmly. "Deep down, I genuinely respect you. In fact, this is also a good thing for you. After all, Brendan is not worthy of you."The last sentence left Deirdre stunned. Brendan was not worthy of her?She couldn't understand
Last Updated : 2023-07-17Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1485 He Figured It Out
It was difficult to imagine that a study, typically lacking heavy security, could hide a secret passage. Deirdre couldn't help but wonder what could be concealed within and what the intentions were. Her curiosity was genuine.If Brendan weren't currently hypnotized, she would have wanted to discuss the secret passage with him and devise countermeasures to catch Ryker off guard. The thought crossed her mind, causing a momentary hesitation.Considering Brendan's reaction yesterday, perhaps he wasn't truly hypnotized after all. The possibility excited her, causing her hands to tremble.Suddenly, a voice echoed from the entrance, startling Deirdre. She had been facing the hidden password lock behind the wallpaper, but fortunately, she was no longer touching it. She swiftly turned around to face Brendan, who approached her suspiciously."Why are you in my study?" Brendan's voice carried a note of caution, and Deirdre nervously moistened her lips, quickly coming up with an excuse."I wa

Deirdre's eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "Meaning? Exactly! If Emily hadn't underestimated you, there would be no reason for you to bring me here and protect me. Just this alone, can't it prove that you weren't hypnotized? Brendan, how much longer do you plan to deceive me? Do you really see me as that fragile, that helpless, in need of your protection?"Confusion crossed Brendan's face as he shrugged off Deirdre's outstretched hand."Deirdre, even if you're going crazy, there should be a limit. If you keep saying things I don't understand, then leave this villa and go to the hospital!"Deirdre was momentarily stunned. "Last night... Last night, you—""Last night? What happened last night?" Brendan interrupted, puzzled.Deirdre froze upon hearing Brendan's question."Last night, I clearly went to sleep early. Are you referring to the injuries on my arm and the back of my head? Weren't they from my fall? Did you cause them?"After Brendan finished speaking, he fell silent for two

"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
