Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 188 Would You Believe Me if I Told You the Truth
She could no longer care and she did not have the mental capacity to let herself be distracted by that incident. All she wanted was to meet her mother. “Nothing happened, really. The idea occurred to me all of a sudden…”Before she could finish her sentence, Brendan grabbed her face, exuding displeasure with his overbearing presence. “Deirdre, are you aware that I can see that you’re lying every time you do it? You’re really disobedient, which makes me think that you just don’t want to meet Ophelia again!”Deirdre felt her heart racing, and all the blood drained from her face instantly. In the end, she bit her lower lip tightly and said, “Brendan, would you believe me if I told you the truth?”Brendan furrowed his eyebrows subconsciously when he heard her reply. “What kind of trick do you have up your sleeve again? If you’re telling the truth, why wouldn’t I believe you?”“It was Charlene.”Deirdre could feel the coldness emanating from Brendan’s body when she uttered that nam
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 189 She’s Lying
“How did that happen…” Charlene bit her lower lip, feeling scared out of her wits. She asked in a flurry, “What happened afterward? Is Ms. McKinnon alright? She’s too foolish. Why would she commit suicide because of this?”“She was saved in the end.”“Great then.” Charlene felt relieved. She remembered something that made her face turn paler and she looked at Brendan incredulously. “Brendan, you’re here to tell me about Ms. McKinnon’s suicide attempt… What are you implying? You also asked about my whereabouts yesterday. Could you be suspecting me of exposing the secret?”Brendan did not answer, but Charlene’s eyes reddened with tears instantly. “Did Ms. McKinnon tell you that I told her the secret?”“No.” Brendan frowned deeply, and his voice sounded agitated. “I was only asking casually.”Tears were falling from Charlene’s eyes. “You don’t have to put in a good word for Ms. McKinnon. Why would you associate the incident with me if she hadn’t mentioned it? Besides, Brendan, you’re
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 190 Mr. Brighthall Has Had One Drink Too Many Today
’She just won’t give up on her sinister, malicious nature. I was wrong too for actually believing her and questioning Charlene.’Brendan downed glass by glass of alcohol with a cold expression. A beautiful woman approached him from the side with a seductive gaze. “Are you here alone, handsome?”“Leave.” Brendan did not even bother taking one glance at her.It was inevitable that she’d be infuriated. “You think you’re better just because you’re good-looking…”She left furiously. Sawyer stepped forward when he checked and realized it was time. “Mr. Brighthall, are we leaving?”“And going where?” Brendan pointed at the seat next to him. “Come and drink with me.”Sawyer could tell that Brendan was in a very bad mood because he was drinking constantly, but he still declined Brendan’s offer. “Mr. Brighthall, I’m driving.”Brendan did not try to convince Sawyer to drink but he kept drinking more and more. After a few bottles, his expression changed at last and his gaze began to appea
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 191 Not a Single Piece of Truth Has Ever Come Out of Your Mouth
Feeling rage surging into his head, he said while he stared at her with cold eyes, “Are you only going to take action when you’re urged by someone? Don’t forget that you still need something from me, so you should consider pleasing me your utmost priority!”Deirdre was stunned by the unexpected anger. “What would you like me to do then?”“Why are you asking me what to do? What did you do in the past when I was drunk?”Deirdre understood the situation instantly. She took a deep breath and stretched out her hand before placing her fingertip on Brendan’s thin lips. Her fingertip glided down his chiseled jawline to his neck before she removed his tie. Brendan’s breathing sounded substantially smoother when Deirdre unbuttoned his shirt. Then, she took a step forward, placed her fingers on his temples, and massaged his temples gently to relieve the headache caused by the drinking. Brendan did not shut his eyes as he had in the past but he looked up and focused his gaze on the woman, s
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 192 The Police Are Looking For Someone
“I… I have nothing else to say.” The corner of her lips twitched, and she felt bitterness in her chest. “Do you have nothing else to say, or are you incapable of keeping up your lowly lie because you’ve been caught?” Brendan asked closely. “Speak! Who told you that Ophelia died the other day?”‘Since it was not Charlene, it must have been someone else. On the other hand, that person keeps finding ways to circumvent the surveillance devices just to meet Deirdre and make her waver…’An idea occurred to Brendan unexpectedly. He looked at Deirdre with his icy gaze, got up, and grabbed her shoulder. “It was Sterling, right? Is he back to stirring trouble on purpose?”“What are you talking about?” Deirdre’s face was furrowed in agony. “How is this related to Sterling?”“If it wasn’t him, why would you be covering up for that person by blaming Charlene?”The more Brendan thought about it, the more sense it made. ‘Sterling is living in another city, so he could still slip into the city
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 193 The Deceased’s Belongings
Her unfocused eyes widened in surprise and joy. ‘The police are actually at the door, mentioning Ophelia’s name. Could this have been arranged by Brendan? Is he taking me to meet Ophelia?’Deirdre’s smile grew wider without her noticing, and she took a step forward. “Are you the police? Is my mother here? Where is she?”“Ms. McKinnon!” Sam’s expression changed drastically, and his hand, which was clutching Deirdre’s shoulder, shook once without him noticing. He pulled her back strongly and said, “You should go inside!”Deirdre’s smile was half-frozen on her face, and she refused to leave stubbornly. “What’s going on? Sam, it’s not easy for me to acquire information related to my mother. This is a good thing. Why are you asking me to leave?”Sam could not explain why, but he could feel that something really bad was about to happen. Especially since the matter involved Ophelia. Deirdre had attempted to commit suicide because of Ophelia, and the police was suddenly visiting her less
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 194 The Answer in Her Heart
Sam picked up the letter from the floor, and the sight of the writer’s name signed at the bottom made him stop breathing. The letter appeared to be old, and not in a fake way. It really was the letter left by Ophelia when she had still been alive. He looked at Deirdre, who was standing in front of him. The woman had stopped moving as soon as the police officer had left and was now dangling from the gate just like before without moving. The jacket had already fallen to the ground during her struggle, and the back of her figure looked emaciated. The sight of her made pity fill his heart. “Ms. McKinnon…” Sam felt uneasy deep down and spoke in an exploratory manner. Deirdre slid down from the gate abruptly, her unfocused eyes bloodshot. She shook her head desperately and chanted, “It’s fake… It must be fake! My mother is obviously still alive and well. I heard the voice clip of her saying she missed me. How could someone like her possibly have committed suicide a year ago? This mus
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 195 The Letter Is the Only Possession Left by Her
Brendan’s sharp brows were tightly furrowed. He was about to speak when Deirdre said, “But I know that he was just a fake cop. Apart from the fact that he suddenly found the villa’s location for no apparent reason today, he talked about almost the same things as that person the other day.”“What?” Brendan sounded alarmed. “What did he say?”“He claimed that my mother Ophelia died a year ago after jumping off a building.”Brendan’s entire body tensed up as soon as he heard the remark. “Those people are all talking nonsense!”“Hmm, I know,” Deirdre said. “I believe that you wouldn’t lie to me.”Brendan fell silent once again. After a long silence, he asked, “What’s that letter on the table?”He had come in such a rush that Sam had not managed to brief him on all the details. Deirdre was stunned for a moment before she answered, “It’s just a letter. It’s nothing important.”The letter had come out of nowhere, so Brendan refused to believe that it was as unimportant as Deirdre h

"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.

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

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
