Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 527 Something’s Weighing On Your Mind
It was as if Kyran had something he wanted to say…Deirdre closed her eyes. Maybe she was overthinking it because she was pretty tired too. If Kyran had anything he wanted to tell her, he would just say so. There was no reason for secrets between the two of them at this stage of their relationship.Deirdre slept soundly. A long, long while later, her bedroom door creaked open. A man snuck inside from that little crack, his movement featherlight and careful, to avoid waking up the young woman. He took his seat near her bed.Moonlight sprayed into her room through her window and drenched her. Her skin was clear, like the surface of a silvery lake. As he studied her, her eyes gleamed with hunger while his lips curled into a shadow of a smile. That was until, suddenly, the smile died. It was as if someone had sucked away every oxygen in his lungs, and now his ribcage and its fleshy contents were imploding. His face paled, he knelt a little forward, and his eyes rested on the you

Deirdre climbed out of her bed, but Kyran stopped her. “Where are you going? It’s cold!”“I’m going to reheat dinner.”Kyran frowned. “I can do it myself.”“I’ll be fine. In fact, I’ll keep you company.”She put on her coat and went downstairs, where the food was already cold. Instead of sending them into the microwave, she took some spaghetti and green vegetables from the fridge.Confused, Kyran asked, “Weren’t you supposed to reheat dinner?”Deirdre pushed a lock of her hair behind her ear. “I thought for a moment and changed my mind. I don’t think it’s good to have something with that much kick and flavor in the dead of night, so I decided to make something mild and tame, like… a bowl of spaghetti. You just have to wait for a few minutes. Once the water’s boiling, I can make simple veggie spaghetti.”She turned away from him and set her attention to the meal.Kyran watched her back, his face pale. And then, within minutes, a steaming bowl of spaghetti with some leafy green g

Deirdre had expected Charlene to be arrested, but she did not expect it to happen as soon as two days later. When the police told her the woman in question was already detained, Deirdre was shocked.The police were careful to put a damp on whatever fervor Deirdre might have after hearing news like that. “We need to put this out there, though. We might not get to arrest her instantly on our first attempt.”She did not really need it—Deirdre knew it was next to a miracle to get Charlene to admit to guilt or be arrested on the first day. She splashed some water over her face, hoping the cold would wake her up from any stupor. She was so preoccupied that she missed out on her face's strange smoothness. She changed into a set of new clothes and went downstairs. Declan was on breakfast duty today while Kyran played his assistant. Hearing a commotion echoing from the stairs, Declan raised his head and greeted, “Miss McKinnon, good morn—”He did not finish his sentence.Kyran instincti

“I’m sure it’ll happen.”Declan wanted to add more to the banter, but Kyran’s jealousy had brewed up so much that he forcibly terminated it by stepping right in front of Declan. His eyes were not even blinking.“Why are you up so early today? Are you not feeling well?” he asked out of concern.Deirdre was finally pulled back from her glee, causing a change to solemness in her face. “Kyran, the police called me.”“And?”“Charlene’s detained. I’ve decided to pay her a visit.”Kyran’s expression darkened. “Do you want me to come with you?”She smiled. “I can manage on my own.”Declan met Kyran’s gaze and immediately chimed in. “Whoa, slow down, Kyran. I remember you telling me you’re going to meet Mr. Smith today. He’s your friend, and he’s here in this city today. Don’t ditch that meeting, okay? Miss McKinnon, I’m coming with you.”Deirdre froze, though she ultimately shrugged it off. “Thank you so much as usual, Mr. King.” “Don’t mention it. I owe your boyfriend a favor,” he

Charlene had thus lost another advantage in competing with Deirdre.Meanwhile, Deirdre, who was facing Charlene’s oppressive eyes, remained calm and collected. It was as if she wasn’t facing her enemy, who once wished to kill her. She even lifted up the corner of her mouth.“Miss McKinney, how are you doing? It’s been about two weeks since we last met, hasn’t it?”Charlene regained her calmness and smiled. “I’m sorry I don’t get you. What I know is that we haven’t seen each other since we were separated from Neve. In fact, I have been wondering why the police came to me. It turns out that Miss McKinnon is trying to avenge me by plotting against me because she is jealous that her ex-husband has fallen for me and wants to marry me.”“So, you won’t confess regardless, right?” said Deirdre while looking at Charlene.While blinking her eyes, Charlene rebutted, “What do you want me to confess? Miss McKinnon, do you know that I am innocent? I’m not surprised that you hate me because of o

The lawyer frowned. “What’s happened? Isn't it just Ms. McKinnon? You just need to insist that both of you are just emotionally entangled. She resents that her ex-husband wants to marry you, so she slandered you on this matter. In this case, we’ll have a high probability of winning even if the case is brought to trial.”“This is the problem!” Charlene was so angry that she was shivering. “She is not the only witness.”“What do you mean?”“In order to kidnap Deirdre at that time, I got a woman who knew Deirdre to lure her out. But it is obvious now that the woman has become a turncoat, and she may accuse me in court!”“How could this be?” The lawyer couldn’t help but frown heavily. “It might be difficult with two witnesses. How could you create weaknesses for yourself when you were deciding to employ someone?”“I never expected that b*tch to survive. I learned she’s alive only when the police arrested me!” While gnashing her teeth, Charlene added, “If I knew she would survive, I’d

“Both of you were obviously—” ‘Both of you were obviously together yesterday.’When the police officer was about to blurt that out, he seemed to have recalled something and stopped. His eyes were filled with disbelief.When Deirdre heard the police officer, she looked confused and asked, “What did you want to say?”“Both of you were obviously a married couple. Since both of you are married, why can’t the two of you talk face-to-face? How can you not meet him?”Deirdre was stunned for a moment before she replied, “The world is very complicated. Not every couple can talk face-to-face in a friendly manner. In short, we don’t wish to see each other.”“Oh, I see.” The police officer suppressed his surprise and went back to the topic. “Anyway, please take note that the relationship between you and Mr. Brighthall may affect this case with Miss McKinsey.”“Understand, thank you.”Deirdre turned and walked away. However, after she had taken two steps, she couldn’t help but ask, “Are yo

Deirdre felt chilly. Upon returning to the mansion, she washed her face, trying hard to calm down. Then, she changed into a new dress.When she went downstairs, Declan had left.Declan had told her earlier that he had to go out because of the project. Deirdre sat on the sofa and switched on the TV. Even though she couldn’t see, she could at least hear the sound, and she felt calmer by hearing the TV program.After some time listening to the noisy TV program, Deirdre felt drowsy. It was until she smelled the scent of the flowers that she opened her eyes.“Are they flowers?” said Deirdre with surprise while reaching out her hands.Kyran, who appeared suddenly, was smiling with his eyes when he saw Deirdre’s surprised expression. “Yes, I went by a greenhouse and plucked a bouquet after obtaining permission from the owner. Do you like it?”“Yes.”Unlike the lifeless flowers the florists sold, these flowers had a faint fragrance of freshness. Although she couldn’t see, she could feel

"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
