Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 568 Gambit
It was as if Deirdre had been submerged in freezing water. Not getting any response, the voice continued. “Bren? Are you there?”Still as gentle and chummy as ever. The only thing that changed about his tone was a slight hint of confusion caused by Deirdre’s prolonged silence. She felt as though her chest had exploded. Her eyes were red. It was Declan. It was Declan’s voice!She thought she had mistaken his voice for another, but the second time he spoke dispelled any of her uncertainty. Her brain blanked, and in a fit of anxiety, she accidentally slid the screen and caused the call to end.The heater was working in full force, yet she felt her body ravaged by jolts of chill. Her teeth were chattering. Crouching low, she felt a nest of hornets being unleashed inside her skull, buzzing.What was going on!?Hadn’t Declan said he was no longer talking to Brendan? Had he not claimed that they were now even less familiar with one another than strangers?Then what was with that c

“I know I called him Bren, but it was just a ploy to ingratiate myself with him. It happens when you really need someone’s help. You can’t sound like a belligerent *ss. “You remember what I said just now, right? I asked him if he still holds a grudge against me. That’s really the crux of our disagreement. I hated his guts, so I left. I didn’t try to explain myself or resolve any conflict between us, which caused him to resent me even more. I even thought he hung up on me because he refused to help me.”Deirdre was nailed to her spot. She did remember the words Declan had used. If she was right about Brendan and Declan’s relationship, then the latter would not have said something like, “are you still holding a grudge”, would he?Her expression relaxed. Pressing her lips tight, she asked, “So… you’re in a bind, huh?”“Yeah.”“Is it… serious?” asked Deirdre, concerned. Anything that could make Declan ask Brendan for help must be some grim affair.He was silent for a moment before f

”I don’t think so,” replied Deirdre. “We’ll get to the hospital on our own once he’s awake.”“Sure thing.”Before she left, Deirdre collected all of their wet clothes and asked the staff to machine-dry them. When it was done, she changed into it in the bathroom. She came out just in time to hear a soft commotion from the couch. The man had woken up with a coughing fit. “There’s medicine on the table and warm water. Your dry clothes are on the bed,” she said.Brendan gave himself a moment to reorient himself before he was finally wide awake. “Thanks.”He changed into his clothes and took some pills. Despite how bitter they were, he swallowed them without a crease on his forehead. “You’re coming with me to Neve today.”Deirdre raised her head and stared into his eyes. “Why?”Brendan took a sip of water and met her gaze calmly. “You want your divorce, don’t you? I need to get the documents from home. There’s no way I’m always bringing my marriage license and stuff with me.”She

That was the end of this topic. Brendan asked, "What happened at Eastgene? Deirdre told me that you have something to ask me."Declan told everything that had happened at Eastgene. In the end, he pleaded, “You’ll have to help me. That mother and daughter have always regarded me as a thorn in their flesh. They are afraid that I’ll inherit the King family's inheritance, and they will definitely do something about it. Brendan, I can’t lose that inheritance.”Declan would always speak calmly, tactfully, and professionally, but at that moment, his tone was icy, proving his determination.“Don’t worry; I’ll definitely help you.”When he heard Brendan’s promise, Declan was relieved. “I’ll get a little bit more sleep. I haven’t got enough rest after chatting the whole day.”“Sure.”Upon ending the call, Brendan didn’t look as relaxed as his tone was.He was prepared to divorce Deirdre, but if he were to divorce Deirdre now, it would be a waste of time for Declan.After some thought, he

Deirdre’s chest was heaving. She had to take a few deep breaths to calm herself down. Her fingertips were still trembling, but as she recalled the exhaustion and helplessness in Declan’s voice, she could only nod her head.She believed that Kyran would do the same to help Declan.“Okay, now come with me to get two flight tickets to Eastgene.”When Brendan turned to open the door, Deirdre stopped him. “Hold on.”Clenching her fists, she said, “I've got a condition too.”Under Brendan’s cold gaze, she continued. “The condition is the same as the requirement for the date.”“Not to touch you?”Deirdre didn’t expect Brendan could be so direct, and her face turned white.Following that, she heard Brendan sneering. “We went up to that point yesterday, yet I didn't even touch you. What’s more, in the future. You can rest assured you are not attractive to me at all.”Deirdre blushed and lowered her eyes as she said, “I hope that you’ll do as you promise.”Deirdre didn’t hear anything

But now, she no longer was that petty and low Deirdre who couldn’t survive without Brendan.She now had Kyran and a new home.And the past should be left behind.When Brendan gradually fell asleep, Deidre still didn’t feel sleepy. Clasping her phone, she got up and found a convenient place to make a call.Carefully, she dialed Kyran’s phone number and put the phone near her ear. But nobody picked up the call.She called twice before putting it back into her pocket with surprise.Kyran barely did this. Usually, he would answer her call almost immediately. Hence, he gave Deirdre the wrong feeling that he would be there for her whenever she needed him.When she thought further, Kyran might have already gone to rest since it was now midnight in Germia.Following the same path, Deirdre returned to her seat and saw a blurred figure standing there. When she was nearer, the flight attendant greeted her. “Hello, miss. Someone might be looking for him because his phone had been ringing.”

“These are…”“Oh!” Fionn explained with a smile, “I’m sorry that I forgot to introduce them. They are stylists, and they are here to do styling for you.”Deirdre was startled and asked in confusion, “For me?”Before Fionn could answer, Brendan came out of the bathroom while wiping his hands and said, "I forgot to tell you in advance that you will be my partner at the Kings’ party."“What!?” Deirdre was in disbelief.Brendan looked at her. “Yes, is there a problem?”It was not just a problem, but a big one.Deirdre turned pale and said, “I can’t see.”“I know.” While Brendan paced forward to check through the dress, he smirked. “I am well aware, even without you reminding me.”Clenching her fist, Deirdre asked, “I’ll definitely bring you only trouble at the party. Why do you still ask me to be your partner?”She didn't understand. Even when she was asking, her mind was blank.The Kings’ party was not a simple dinner but a social gathering of the upper class. It was a party wh

This dress could be said to have wrapped Deirdre’s entire body.The stylist wanted to say that making Deirdre look good at the party would not be easy, and her good figure couldn’t be seen.However, she could only let Deirdre try it because Brendan insisted.It turned out that Deirdre looked perfect in the dress.Deirdre's exquisite figure was tightly wrapped in black cloth, making her appear hot and charming. She looked outstandingly attractive with her fair skin, beautiful and glamorous facial features, fiery red lips, and faintly visible long legs at the split end were even more eye-catching.The stylist thought Brendan was a busybody, but when she saw the result, she couldn’t help but compliment the choice. “Mr. Brighthall, your fashion sense is so great. Though the pattern of the sheath evening gown is simple, the effect of Ms. McKinnon wearing it is a lot better!”However, Brendan was frowning heavily.The stylist hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mr. Brighthall, are you

"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
