Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 149 Wait Here
Deirdre was stunned for a moment. She could obviously tell from the servant’s tone what it meant by Brendan and Charlene being in the room by themselves. Deirdre felt unusually disgusted by the thought of Brendan raping her when he was already sleeping with Charlene. She suppressed the acid reflux in her stomach with great effort and said, “When will Brendan leave the room?”The servant smiled and said, “I’m not too sure about that. Perhaps Mr. Brighthall will be down in an hour or two.”Sawyer felt slightly uneasy because the servant’s remark was too strange. He immediately said, “Please let Miss McKinnon and I enter the house first. Miss McKinnon caught a cold yesterday, and her body is weak, so she can’t stand waiting in the cold wind. We’ll wait in the living room.”The servant’s gaze changed for a moment before she forced a smile. “I’m sorry, but I don’t have the right to invite a visitor into the living room without Miss McKinney’s order. If it’s fine with you, please just w
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 150 Do Nothing While I Watch Deirdre Sleep With You
“She is your wife and has no fear of being harmed in any way… What is so different about her and me? Is it only because she is your first woman?”Brendan furrowed his eyebrows ever so slightly, yet he could not answer her question. He knew that everything felt very natural when he was with Deirdre while he resisted Charlene’s physical interaction with him.Perhaps it was because he still could not accept having intimate interaction with Charlene as a married man.“Don’t overthink this.” In the end, Brendan gave this answer while attempting to move her hand away. Charlene’s eyes were reddened with tears, and she hugged him tightly to stop him from moving. “I can’t stop myself from overthinking. Brendan, why can’t you accept me if you can accept Deirdre? We have been together for such a long time, yet we have never engaged in lovers’ intimacy. Could it be that you want me to do nothing while I watch Deirdre sleep with you?”She wept profusely. Brendan’s body was stiff as he watch
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 151 Did Nothing to Deserve the Favor
It was apparent that it was a critical situation judging by Brendan’s sternness. Sawyer did not have the courage to procrastinate, so he hastily asked, “What happened, Mr. Brighthall?”“Someone stirred up trouble and got several people injured. Sam was one of them, and his condition is quite critical.”Brendan described Sam’s condition as quite critical, so the critical level would surely be unusually bad in reality. Sawyer hastily opened the car door for Brendan. The latter was about to get into the car when Deirdre suddenly grabbed his arm.“Brendan, who did you say is injured? Is Sam injured? How bad is his injury?”There was no telling if her face was pale from the cold or scared out of her wits from overhearing the conversation. Brendan’s face was filled with evil emotions. He clutched her hand and pulled it away by force. “This is not an issue that you should concern yourself with. The pressing matter for you now is to figure out a way to make Charlene forgive you.”Deirdr
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 152 Cook Something for Miss McKinnon
Deirdre could not see Charlene but could hear Charlene’s arrogance and also pride in her tone.‘It seems that Charlene has been waiting for me to come for a long time.’Deirdre inhaled a deep breath. Her self-respect refused to let her enemy defeat her. Yet at the thought of Sam…She smiled in defeat. ‘Who am I to deserve self-respect…’“Miss McKinney, I’m here to seek your forgiveness.” Deirdre raised her head, her gaze empty. “A person of great moral stature does not remember the offenses committed by one of low moral stature… Please don’t be offended by a person of low moral stature like me.”Charlene smiled. “You’re too courteous, Miss McKinnon. Why would I make things difficult for you when we’re both women? It’s only that I’m in a bad mood because of that incident.”She insinuated, “How about this, Miss McKinnon? You help me with something, and I won’t make a fuss with you if I’m pleased with the result. How about that?”Deirdre was surprised by how gentle Charlene was.
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 153 Are You Going Back on Your Own Word
“It’s fine.” Deirdre immediately rejected Charlene’s offer. “You will only need to tell me what else I can do to seek your forgiveness, Miss McKinney.”Charlene looked at the servant holding a bowl of stew mixed with horseradish, mustard, and chili and smiled in satisfaction. “You don’t need to do anything else, but I’ll forgive you if you can finish the bowl of stew in Greenlee’s hands.”A look of astonishment flashed past Deirdre’s eyes. “That’s all?”“Yes, that’s all.”Deirdre could smell the pungent horseradish smell from a distance. However, she perked up at the thought that everything would come to an end if she could finish the bowl of stew. “Alright, please hand it to me.”She stretched out her arms to receive the bowl, but the servant avoided her hands and placed the bowl on the floor. Charlene said proudly, “However, there’s no extra seat and cutlery for you at the table, Miss McKinnon. You’re going to have to lie on the ground and eat it with your mouth bit by bit!
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 154 The Sins She Has Committed
“Charlene! You deserve to die!”Charlene chuckled. The curse was so gentle that she could not be bothered about it. “Deirdre, you’re very naive. How will I forgive you so easily when I hate you so much? You’re the person who robbed me of my life!”‘Rob her of her life?’Deirdre clenched her teeth tightly. She was the one who had saved Brendan, and Charlene went under her name and took her place by undergoing plastic surgery to look like her. Now, Charlene had actually accused her openly that she robbed Charlene of her life?“Tell me, who robbed whose life off?” Deirdre spoke through her gritted teeth.Charlene’s beautiful eyes darkened abruptly. She took a step forward and glared at Deirdre ferociously. “Shut up! If I say that you robbed me of my life, that is the truth, then! If you have the courage to declare otherwise in Brendan’s presence, I will assure you that you won’t end up well!”Charlene grew tired when she had her fill of complacency. She yawned gracefully and said, “
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 155 Price of Forgiveness
At that moment, Brendan felt his heart wrench in pain violently for no apparent reason.He felt an ineffable anger surge into his head and could not help holding Deirdre’s wrist. “Deirdre? Why are you here?” he asked in rage.Deirdre opened her eyelids ever so slightly and jerked back from unconsciousness to reality by the pain in her wrist. She listened to Brendan’s query and found his remark taunting. Her lips moved when she said, “Where else can I be if not here? Didn’t you make me come here?”The woman’s wrist felt ice cold, and the coldness seeped into Brendan’s palm like an invisible hand. His face turned green with anger. ‘Yes, it was me who made Deirdre come here. Yet, I assumed that Charlene would not make things difficult for Deirdre because she is such a kind woman. Still, she actually punished Deirdre to stand in the cold yard when the temperature is dropping from the impending winter?’Brendan felt his chest hurting and darted a look at the bloody, mushy laceration w
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 156 How Did She Get the Injury on Her Hands
She was under the assumption that her well-coordinated lie would be flawless. Brendan’s expression turned cold, and his dark eyes were rippling with evilness as he stared closely at the speaking servant. “So, you let her punish herself by standing outside just because she said so? You feel no sympathy at all. If she were to tell you that she wanted to commit suicide, would you give her a knife too?”The servant’s face turned ghastly pale in an instant. She hastily defended herself by saying, “No… I wouldn’t… Mr. Brighthall, we’ve already advised Miss McKinnon against doing it, but Miss McKinnon insisted on…”Blood drained from Charlene’s face similarly. She did not expect that Brendan would be so concerned about Deirdre that he would lecture her servants. “Brendan, it’s my fault. I was too tired, so I went upstairs to rest after chatting with Miss McKinnon for a while, and that is why I didn’t notice that she punished herself by standing outside at once.” Charlene expressed her g

"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

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
