“Okay.”

Declan closed the door as he was on his way out.

At that moment, Kyran noticed the dirt on Deirdre’s hand and typed, “Why is your hand so dirty?”

Deirdre took a tissue paper and wiped the dirt off.

“My phone dropped on the floor just now. I guess that’s when I got it dirty,” she explained.

“You should have let me know about it. Don’t you know how dirty and cold the floor is?”

Kyran went to take a towel and helped Deirdre clean her hand seriously.

“You were talking about work with Mr. King. If it were a normal time, I would’ve asked you for your help,” Deirdre said with a chuckle.

After cleaning her hand, Kyran picked up his phone. “Next time, you can come to me and ask for my help even if he’s here. He’s not as important as you.”

“If Mr. King heard what you said, he'd be very sad.” Deirdre laughed.

“Putting a girlfriend in the first place is what all boyfriends should do. He shouldn't be sad at all. Instead, he should be envious. But even if he's envious about it, t

    Dr. Engle was surprised. He had assumed Deirdre wanted to relieve her discomfort or ask about the condition of her face. It was never in his wildest imagination that she was asking him the brand of a cigarette.As if she could read his mind, Deirdre explained, “I smelled it occasionally and thought its scent was good, so I wanted to buy it and give it to Kyran as a gift.”“Ah, I see.” Dr. Engle chuckled. “It seems like you guys are ready to announce your relationship. Does this mean that I can expect your marriage news soon?”Deirdre was stunned, and her face turned red with embarrassment. “How did you know about that, Dr. Engle?”“I’m not dumb. You two were holding hands so tightly when you came to me yesterday. I can’t think of any other explanations if you two aren’t a couple.”It was only now that Deirdre realized they had been holding hands the whole time yesterday.Her face turned even redder, and Dr. Engle laughed. “There's no need to feel embarrassed. I can see that both

    Deirdre felt as if all her strength had left her body. She remembered that the flower on Winston had four petals. All of the petals were closed. It was in the budding stage while signifying undying wills.‘It isn’t Winston, is it?’When tears streamed down from her eyes, Dr. Engle was stunned.“What happened, Miss McKinnon? Why are you crying?”Deirdre clenched her fists. Her body was still shaking profusely, and she explained, “Nothing. I am just sad that I can’t buy this brand of cigarettes for Kyran.”“You want to get this as a gift for Mr. Reed, right? But he already has it, so there’s no point for you to buy it for him anymore. Besides, judging from how much Mr. Reed loves you, I think he’ll be very happy even if you give him a flower you picked from the roadside.”Deirdre wiped the tears off and smiled. “You’re right. I’ll go figure something else out then.”“Alright.”Deirdre felt as if a weight had been lifted off her chest after coming out of the office. However, the f

    Before this, Kyran held her hand whenever they walked together. Deirdre was stunned for a moment, and disappointment flashed across her eyes. The moment she put her hand on his arm, she suddenly changed her direction and grabbed his hand.Kyran froze for a moment, and Deirdre assured him by holding his hand even tighter. “I think this will be more convenient.”Kyran’s gaze was gentle as he looked at her. He grabbed her hand back, and they left the hospital.There were many restaurants around the hospital. They found a rather clean restaurant and ordered a private room.It was warm inside the private room. When ordering food, Deirdre asked Kyran, “Is there any food you can’t eat right now?”“You can just order anything you want.”Deirdre thought for a moment and asked the waiter for recommendations. When a dish about Brussels sprouts was mentioned, she frowned.“This is one of the specialties of our restaurant. You can give it a try, miss. I’m sure you’ll like it if you’re not

    “I’m not joking! It’s real! All of our tables and rooms were fully reserved today, but when he came late, he just gave his name, and our manager prepared a room for him. Other than Mr. Brighthall, I can’t think of anyone else who’s capable of doing that.”“Seriously? What is he doing here? I thought he was in Neve?” “I heard that he’s here for treatment.” The two waiters did not know that Deirdre had been listening to their conversation not far away. Her blood ran cold.‘Brendan is in this restaurant?’Her pupils shrank. ‘How can this be?’There were many restaurants in this place, and this restaurant was not that popular either. What were the odds that he would show up here at this restaurant simultaneously with her?Suddenly, Deirdre remembered something. When they arrived at this restaurant, the waiter told them that all of their tables and rooms were fully booked. However, Kyran just said something to the waiter, and they gave them a private room. A chill rushed down her

    “That’s my pleasure. But you need to take care of yourself, Mr. Brighthall,” said Mr. Taylor. “Anyway, has your condition improved after your treatment?”“Yeah. The doctor has already arranged an operation for me.”“A lot of things have happened in Neve after you left. When everyone heard that you were seriously ill, many people tried to climb up and pull you down from the throne. The media and newspapers are looking everywhere for your news as well. Luckily, you came here. If you were still in Neve, there would be a lot of people waiting for you day and night outside of the hospital.”Brendan did not say anything, and Mr. Taylor continued. “Are you going to postpone your marriage with Ms. McKinney?”“Yeah,” Brendan replied calmly. “It’ll be postponed indefinitely.”“What a shame. I was waiting to join your wedding ceremony,” Mr. Taylor said as he washed his hands at the water tap. “But you can have the wedding any time after you’ve fully recovered. At that time, you’ll be success

    Deirdre’s shirt and hair were wet with sweat. The air was cold, and her entire body was shaking with fear.Even though a door blocked her away from Brendan, she was still assaulted by a wave of coldness that chilled her to the bone. The oppression that came with the man from the moment he was born seemed like an invisible hand that grabbed her by her neck, suffocating her.Fear and nervousness were all she felt during those few minutes.After Brendan left, she realized how much she feared this man.She dropped to the floor as if all energy had left her body. She wrapped her arms around herself and took a few deep breaths until she completely calmed down.Then, her phone rang again. She picked it up this time and answered, “Hello.”There was only the typing sound from the other side of the call. Deirdre came around to her senses and realized it was Kyran.So did that mean that Kyran was the one who had called her twice?Brendan clearly did not know it was her inside the cubicl

    “I’ll come with you, mother.”Deirdre came to realize the situation and immediately turned around to walk back.There was only one thought on her mind now, and that was to ensure that Madame Brighthall remained unaware of her presence there.It was their agreement. Madame Brighthall would help her to leave while her part of the deal was to ensure that Brendan would not find her for the rest of her life.Deirdre was so overwhelmed with emotions that she walked faster and faster. She did not notice a plant placed by the side of the wall, so she tripped and toppled over.She did not expect that the pain would not come. A pair of huge hands caught her and pulled her into his arms.Deirdre felt her eyes stung with tears upon smelling his familiar, masculine scent and felt the warmth of his hug. “Kyran…” She sobbed.Kyran’s body that was hugging her tensed up. He asked through his phone, “What’s going on?”Deirdre shook her head with all her might. She missed the sense of security

    All Deirdre needed to do was to find out if Brendan was with Madame Brighthall. “Deirdre, Deirdre.”Deirdre raised her head when she was jolted back to reality.Kyran paused for a moment. “I called out to you many times.”“I’m sorry.” Deirdre seemed to be very vexed with her current behavior of not being responsible. “I was thinking about something…”“I can see that. You’ve been acting differently since earlier.” Kyran appeared to be slightly dejected. “Is it because of Tobey?”Deirdre was stunned for a moment. She came to understand Kyran and denied it by saying, “No. It’s not related to Tobey.”She knew what he cared about and said, “Kyran, my unusual mood is not related to Tobey’s presence.”“If that is the case, why won’t you tell me then?”Deirdre was rendered speechless while Kyran typed, “Forget it. I won’t force it on you anyway. Everyone deserves to have their secrets, and so should you. It’s only that I hope you can be fully focused and attentive on your date with m

"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.

    "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

    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.-

    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

    "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

    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?"
