Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 537 I Have To Leave Later Tonight
As soon as Deirdre reached out her hands, Kyran took the lead.“Let me do it so that you won’t be burned. Just wait for me outside.”Kyran was very meticulous. Deirdre enjoyed spending her time with him except…She felt Kyran seemed to be hiding something from her. They were close, but their hearts seemed to be distanced a lot. And she wondered why.The two of them had their own thoughts, so they didn’t chat a lot when they sat down to eat.After they finished eating, when Deirdre rose to her feet, Kyran said, “Deirdre, I have to leave tonight.”“Leave?” Deirdre was stunned. “Where are you going? Are you going to pick up Mr. King? He’s drinking again?”“No.” Looking affectionately at Deirdre, Kyran said, “My father is sick, and he’s admitted to the hospital. I have to go to see him in Germia.”Upon hearing that, Deirdre became nervous. “He’s sick? Is it serious?”“I’m not sure.”“So it wasn’t Mr. King who called you but your family?”“Yes…”Although Deirdre was reluctant, s

Kyran’s face turned white. “Get back to Neve first.”He couldn’t ignore it when Madame Brighthall had fallen ill.Sam nodded and started driving without a word, not even asking anything about Deirdre.-That night, Deirdre couldn’t sleep well.She didn’t know whether it was because of Kyran’s departure, but she dreamed of Brendan again for the first time in a while.In the dream, Brendan was as indifferent as before. He grabbed her neck tightly, asking her why she accused Charlene.Struggling, she replied with her eyes reddened, “It’s your Charlene who wanted to kill me! Brendan Brighthall, you are so blind that you can’t even see the truth lies before you!”“She is the only one I acknowledge as my woman. She kidnapped you because you deserve it! As for your life and death, what does it have to do with me? I can’t let you win this time. I’ll make sure you lose the lawsuit!” said Brendan condescendingly.Deirdre woke up, still experiencing the lingering feeling of suffocation i

Deirdre plucked up her courage to call that phone number, which was answered in a few seconds. She quickly introduced herself, “Hello, I’m Deirdre McKinnon.”“Hello, Miss McKinnon, I’m Bell. Mr. King said you have something about a case to ask me. May I know what it is?”It was inconvenient for Deirdre to get straight to the point, so she inquired about Charlene's matter as a cover before getting to the point. "Mr. Bell, I would like to ask, is there any quick way to file a divorce without the consent of the man?”“Divorce?” Mr. Bell was stunned. It was totally out of the topic that he needed a few seconds to recover his senses. “It depends on the situation. Generally, if the man disagrees, he needs to file a lawsuit in court. As for filing for divorce, of course, a reason is also needed.”“A reason?”“Behavior such as domestic violence, abuse, taking on a bad habit, or cheating can all be grounds for litigation.”“Do any of these need proof?”Mr. Bell chuckled. “That’s for sure

Kyran was startled and couldn’t help but curl his lips to laugh at himself. “Really?”"Yeah, silly." Deirdre nestled on the sofa and smiled to herself for a while before she rose to her feet with a pillow in her arms. "Did you not have time to rest when you arrived in Germia?"“Yes.” Kyran closed his eyes and put his hands on his forehead, looking tired and weak. While sitting on the cold, long chair in the hospital, he felt lonely, as if he was in the wild.It was too quiet in his surroundings, so quiet that he inexplicably felt like listening to Deirdre’s voice. Yet, he couldn’t reach her even after making a few calls. While trying to control his anxiousness because he knew Deirdre didn’t like him to be too jealous, he wanted to know with whom Deirdre was talking.“How’s your father? Has he gotten better?”Kyran’s eyes turned gloomy. “He’s just gotten out of the emergency room.”“Emergency room? How can it be so serious?” Deirdre frowned.“He has a weak heart, but he’s almos

Madame Brighthall let out a self-deprecating smile when she saw Kyran. “You’re my son, but seeing you is even harder than climbing the sky itself. It has almost been a year since I last saw you. You wouldn't have come to see me if I hadn’t gotten into an accident, right? Do you hate me that much?”Her voice was filled with sadness and disappointment. She had been through a lot ever since she sent Deirdre away. Her family had fallen apart, and none of them cared about each other.Kyran’s face was emotionless as he said, “Don’t overthink it. I’m just busy.”“Busy? Are you telling me you’re busy to the point that you can’t even come into the house and see me, although you’re just a few blocks away?”Kyran just kept silent.Madame Brighthall sighed and said, blaming herself, “I thought I was doing you a favor by sending Deirdre away. I thought I was helping you maintain your hard-earned family, but I did not expect that it would be the last straw that broke the camel’s back. So I don’

“I will,” replied Kyran, the expression on his face turning gentle. Suddenly, he thought of something, and a light flashed across his eyes. “I think the same way as well. I’ll find an opportunity and talk to her myself.”-After Deirdre hung up the call, she buried her head into the pillow, and it took her a long while before she finally calmed herself down.She felt a bit sad and thought how good it would be if she could go to Germia with Kyran. It was just that she was in a sensitive position right now. She was another man’s wife, so she could not bring herself to face Kyran’s parents.At present, what she wanted to do the most was to end her marriage with Brendan as soon as possible.Since she could not let Declan know what she was going to do, she only came out of her room in a trench coat after Declan went out in his car the next afternoon. She flagged down a cab and said, “At the police station at Mr. Verm Road, thank you.”Meanwhile, an unwanted guest arrived at the po

“I’m jealous of her, but Brendan… Isn’t jealousy a normal thing? I just love you too much. When our emotions blind us, we’re prone to do many stupid things! Besides, I already know that I’ve done something wrong!”Brendan lifted his head, and his eyes were filled with disappointment. He could no longer relate the face of the woman crying in front of him to the woman in the sea of fire. Even until this moment, she was still defending herself. She still did not know her mistake yet.“Just because you’re jealous of her, you hired someone to abduct her? So, does this mean you can simply kill someone and shrug it off as if nothing happens when you’re jealous of them?” Charlene was stunned. “I didn’t kill her! She’s still alive! I didn’t kill her!”Brendan placed his hand on his temples and said, “Charlene, do you think I don’t know what you did?” His voice was thick with rage, and his eyes had turned bloodshot. He looked at the woman in front of her fixedly and continued. “You think

“Why can’t I do this to you? I’m just letting you have a taste of your own medicine.”Charlene was stunned. Her heart was clutched by fear as she cried out loud, hoping that Brendan could forgive her. “How can you compare our eight-year relationship to hers? We’ve been together for eight years, and she’s just a nobody! Have you forgotten the time we spent together? I just made a little mistake, but Deirdre is safe. Why can't you just forgive me?”“A little mistake?” Brendan frowned deeply. Charlene threw herself in front of Brendan and continued. “I’m sorry, Brendan. I just love you too much and let my jealousy get the best of me. That's why I went crazy on Miss McKinnon. I'll apologize to her and make up for it! So please, Brendan, please don’t give up on me.”Brendan looked at her coldly and moved away when Charlene was about to touch him.Tears streamed down Charlene’s face.Brendan had lost his patience and told her his purpose for coming here. “Are you the one who asked t

"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
