Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 243 Bought a Gift for Everyone
“Ah, ah.” Dr. Ginger adjusted his tie and said, looking unconcerned, “From Ms. McKinnon. Didn’t she go shopping today? She came home with gifts and brought me this tie. Sam got a gift too. His gift was a phone accessory.”Sam, who was following Brendan, was caught off guard for a moment. Brendan’s sharp eyebrows were tightly furrowed. He had given Deirdre permission to go out yet she seemed to be thinking about other men too. “Where is the phone accessory?” Dr. Ginger pointed at the coffee table and said, “I have one more appointment today, Mr. Brighthall. I shall…”“Go.”Brendan waved his hand to dismiss Dr. Ginger impatiently and made his way to the coffee table swiftly. There was a phone case with a puppy print in the gift box on the coffee table, and the case looked unusually adorable. When Sam’s gaze landed on the case, he could not look away. Brendan turned around and glared at Sam with an icy gaze. “Do you like it?”Sam shook her head and said hesitantly, “Ms. McKi

When those words were spoken, Brendan did not realize what was happening yet. “Money? What money?”“The money I spent to buy the gifts… I don’t have a source of income for the time being, so I spent the money on your ATM card. I’ll figure out a way to pay you back.”There was agitation in Brendan’s eyes. He had never cared less about things like money and he was delighted that Deirdre had spent his money. “Why do you have to draw such a clear distinction?” He then said in an unkind tone, “Did you think I’d care about a few thousand dollars?”Deirdre was silent. ‘If that is not a problem, why did he bring up this issue?’Brendan took a deep breath and got straight to the point by saying, “Where’s mine?“What is it?“You brought gifts for Dr. Ginger and Sam, so do you have one for me too?”Deirdre was stunned upon hearing that. Brendan furrowed his eyebrows, his gaze darkening when he saw Deirdre’s surprised expression. “You didn’t get me anything, huh, Deirdre?”“I…” Deirdre

Brendan’s body tensed up without him realizing it. It had always bothered him that Deirdre might discover the truth, so he immediately inquired, “Where is she? Is she still suspicious?”Maeve shook her head and raised her calloused hands. “I’m lucky that I prepared in advance and dispelled Ms. McKinnon’s doubts at once.”“Great then.” Brendan’s expression was gloomy. “It is apparent that something happened while you were in the changing room. It’s highly possible that some loudmouth talked to her, and I’ll look into this matter. Just do your part of the job.”“Alright.” Maeve was sensible enough to get ready to leave. “Hold on.” Brendan called out to Maeve. He furrowed his eyebrows and said, “Were you by Deirdre’s side at all times while she bought the gifts?”“Yes. How can I help, Mr. Brighthall?”“Did she purchase anything else other than gifts for Sam and Dr. Ginger?”Maeve pondered it for a while before she said in frustration, “I don’t remember so well. I remember walking

Deirdre was hesitant. ‘Would I have been unhappy? In the past, I wouldn’t have been happy indeed. ‘Not only would I have been unhappy, but my heart would have bled, and I would have felt suffocated. ‘But how could the all-superior Brendan share the same way of thinking as my past self?’“I’ll think about it.”Deirdre lowered her gaze as she answered. Soon, she heard the pleasant sound of a piano playing next to her. It was apparent that the piano was a high-quality one, and the tune it played was immersive. She could not help feeling tempted. Maeve could see that and said in an exploratory tone, “Would you like to play it, Deirdre?”“Me?” Deirdre was embarrassed. “I can’t. I have very limited skills because I only took lessons for a short while. Besides, I can’t see anymore, so perhaps I have already lost those skills.”“How can you be certain that you can’t do it if you don’t try?”Maeve called over the waiter and asked if they could play the piano. The waiter did not r

’Oh, right. Brendan…’Deirdre’s eyes were filled with disappointment, as she knew that Brendan would never agree to that. Maeve’s heart melted with pity when she saw how dejected Deirdre was. “Deirdre, isn’t it nice to stay in the villa? Why do you want to get a job so badly?”“I suppose it’s because I need the slightest sense of recognition and I want to feel needed by the world?” Deirdre said in a self-mocking tone. “Plus, I can’t keep depending on someone else to provide for me. If I perform well at this job, it will signify that I could survive somewhere else from now on. In case… In case you need help, I will be able to fork out money for you without relying on Brendan.”Maeve was surprised to learn that Deirdre wished to be independent. She found it hard to imagine that a woman who was almost incapable of living independently would think like that. She realized that Deirdre wanted to rely on herself if she could instead of being content with her current life. At that ver

“I can give you money if that is what you want, and the villa has never treated you shabbily if all you want is a place to live. But you still insist on going outside and claim that you’re not trying to run away?”Brendan spoke in a stern voice. He got up from the chair, moved closer to Deirdre, and clutched her shoulders. “Deirdre, I spoiled you by letting you go outside in the past few days and you’ve become wildly ambitious. Now you think you’re strong enough to leave?”Deirdre was pinned against the door and felt deeply powerless when she heard Brendan’s furious remark. “Brendan, I’m a living human being. Don’t I even have the right to go and get a job?”“You have to be capable of taking care of yourself if you want to go out and get a job. Could you live through the winter out there without me? I’m afraid no one would know even if you froze to death out there!”Brendan had initially intended to tell Deirdre that the outside world would never tolerate a blind person, yet his re

“I’ve never seen Ms. McKinnon being so lively. I believe that you will certainly be pleasantly surprised if you see her perform one day. You want to give Ms. McKinnon a reason to live. I can see that Ms. McKinnon loves to play the piano deeply. Just give her a chance to do that and perhaps it will become the gleam of hope she needs to hang on to life.”Brendan shifted his gaze to Maeve’s face, his expression emotional and his flawless, gorgeous face overwhelmed with complicated emotions at that very moment. “So you’re implying that I should agree to her suggestion, right?”Maeve smiled. “I’m only working for you, Mr. Brighthall. Other than performing my job with great effort, there’s nothing else that I’m trying to do here. I’m only telling you what I can see, Mr. Brighthall.”She adjusted the scarf she had wrapped around her body. “You stay here for the night, Mr. Brighthall. I’ll sleep in the guestroom.”Upon saying that, Maeve began to walk away. Then, she stopped halfway and

She had bought him this gift at the very least. Brendan wanted to smoke a cigarette to calm the burning sensation in his chest yet he realized that his hand was shaking. He grasped his hand, the one that was holding the cufflinks, with his other hand and got up to leave after a while. He pulled out his phone to make a call. “Help me look into the Oak restaurant to see if there’s anything fishy about it.”…Deirdre had lost track of time by the time she opened her eyes and saw that the other side of the bed was still neat. She removed the blanket and walked out of the room just in time to bump into Maeve. “You’re awake? What happened? Why are you in such a rush?”“Nothing happened.” Deirdre calmed down. She had assumed that Brendan would get rid of Ophelia since she had offended him yesterday. “Why didn’t you sleep in the room yesterday, mother?”“Ah.” Maeve answered casually, “I felt sick and I was afraid that it might be contagious, so I slept in the other room.”She chan

"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
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
