Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 648 You’re Shaking
Deirdre’s mind went blank. “You know what happened after that, right? Since he had the chance to capture Brendan, Cillian seized the moment. That was why everyone was trying to stop him from going alone, but he was just doggedly persistent. He was so terrified at the prospect of you getting hurt just because he was late for a second.”“No, how could this…” Deirdre closed her eyes, quivering. Myriad emotions crashed onto her—at its core, anxiety.She remembered what he had said when he was in Cillian's house. “So, this is who you think I am? A selfish, cruel man who would abandon you the moment there’s danger?”She remembered what he had said while his life was hanging by a thread as he sat up from his bed. “I’m sorry about the abduction. I should have known better. I should have done more. I honestly don’t know how Cillian knew where you are, and for that, I apologize.”All those words had brought her was burning rage. She had perceived it as Brendan trying to excuse himself with

Unlike Brendan, Deirdre had a heart. She had a soul, too, and none of them were black. It would have been stranger if she had no emotional responses after hearing the truth. “Tomorrow.” She heaved a long, heavy sigh. “Please accompany me.”“No problem!” Glenna threw her arms around Deirdre’s and replied gregariously. “You get a good night’s sleep. I’ll drive tomorrow!”“Okay.”What Deirdre did not expect was that Brendan would call her first the next morning before she was even on her way to the hospital. “It’s just me.”She was stunned for a few seconds. “I… know.”The weakness in his voice was unmissable. He coughed and choked. “Please drop by the hospital. I’ll be heading back to Neve soon.”“Oh.”There was a pause. Then, he said, “Come with me. We’re getting… divorced.”The call ended.Deirdre sat on her bed, her mind blank. She thought this was the thing she wanted so much. Even the mere mention was enough to keep her feet dancing. She was the one who had proposed it,

“No, we wanted this. It was only dragged on by other things,” Deirdre replied flatly. The only thing that really bugged her was that she had misunderstood Brendan, but her feelings about him did not change. “We don’t like each other.”“Huh? Okay…” Glenna was baffled, but she respected it enough. “So… you’re going to leave with Brendan later?”“Yes, but I’ll be back soon.”“In that case, I’m taking you to the ward first.”Before she could even do what she said she would, Brendan emerged from the door in a coat. His face was sallow and sickly—it was clear just how ill he had become. He kept coughing, and his eyes were bloodshot. When he saw Deirdre, his eyes widened a little.Then, a look of mockery shadowed his face. “Time to go, Sam,” he ordered the guard next to him and ignored Deirdre altogether. He brushed past her. Deirdre shuddered. Glenna held her hand. “Dee?”“It’s okay.” This was well within her expectations, so she was not that shaken up either. “Thanks for bringing me

Deirdre suddenly understood. She quietly boarded the car and fastened her seat belt.While the car was moving, Brendan was continuously coughing. Sometimes, it became so intense that he seemed to be coughing his lungs out.Even Sam couldn’t stand it and suggested, “Mr. Brighthall, shall we get some medicine from the pharmacy?”“Just drive the car.” Brendan gave the most indifferent reply. “Don’t waste time. We have to go back as soon as possible.”Sam had no choice but to speed up.The moment they arrived at the airport, it was boarding time. Sam gave Deirdre a flight ticket and said, “Miss McKinnon, do talk to the flight attendants so that they will lead you to your first-class cabin.”What did Sam mean?Deirdre was startled. “What about you two? Are you not boarding the plane?”“Of course we are.” Sam hesitated before he added, “It’s just that the first class has the last seat available, and Mr. Brighthall and I are taking the business class.”What a coincidence!Deirdre fe

Fortunately Deirdre didn’t have to go in.After unfastening the safety belt, Sam asked, “Mr. Brighthall, may I know where the documents are?”“I’ll get them,” said Brendan.“I’ll go. It’s cold out there. Moreover, I’ll be faster.” Sam tried to stop Brendan.After a sudden pause, Brendan said, “The marriage certificate is under the pillow in the bedroom.”‘Under the pillow?’Deirdre fell into a daze and quickly recovered her senses, but she kept feeling numb in her chest.To think that Brendan actually kept the marriage certificate under the pillow.Why?Deirdre was very confused.When they registered, Deirdre carefully wrapped her marriage certificate with a cloth while Brendan simply threw his on the coffee table in the dining room and sneered so much that he didn’t even feel like taking a second look.He had been tolerating the marriage from the start. The marriage certificate was just a tool to divorce one day, so it stood to reason that Brendan should have put it away in

Brendan slightly moved his fingertips when Deirdre took a deep breath and said, “About the abduction—”“Mr. Brighthall, Miss McKinnon.”Sam came out of the mansion at some point, opened the car’s door, and said, “I’ve got them all.”“Alright.” Brendan threw the cigarette butt and said, “Let’s go.”Sam slightly hesitated, but not for long. He restarted the car’s engine.When they got to the courthouse, it was just noon.Deirdre recovered her senses and got out of the car together with Sam. She felt surprised and dazed when she stepped on the ground.She was finally about to get a divorce.Even though they had just been married for two years, it seemed that it had taken most of her life. Perhaps she might need a lot of time to get through it in the future, but it ended so simply now.Deirdre closed and opened her eyes while Brendan got out of the car behind her. Following that, the two entered the courthouse together.“Are you two here to register? Please go to the counter in f

“The door is not locked.”Deirdre pushed the door in and heard the sound of Brendan coughing more clearly.Brendan didn’t know it was Deirdre who knocked on the door, so he demanded after a moment, “Sam, go get me a glass of water.”Deirdre turned and went downstairs without much thought.There wasn’t any hot water, so Deirdre got a kettle to boil some hot water. When she went back to Brendan, she brought along a first-aid box.When Brendan stood up to take the glass of water, he saw a woman's slender and fair fingers and looked up to the owner."Why is it you?" Brendan took a deep breath before realizing that because Deirdre was sleeping in the mansion today, Sam should have left by now.Deirdre didn’t reply to Brendan but asked as she put the first-aid box on the bedside table, “Where’s the coughing medicine?”Brendan didn’t want to answer. He merely drank half a glass of water and lay back on the bed. “Get out.”Deirdre pursed her lips. “Brendan Brighthall, it’s not like yo

Sam was fast. He took only about ten minutes to come.As Sam was on his way up, Deirdre was applying a damp cloth to Brendan’s forehead.When Deirdre heard the noises, her flustered expression finally regained some composure. “Sam, take a look quickly! How’s Brendan?”Sam hurriedly went forward and saw Brendan was delirious and had fallen into a trance. He was flushing, and his bangs were wet, sticking on his frowning brows.He obviously knew about Brendan’s current situation. After all, the hospital had tried to stop them from going through the discharge procedures.“Miss McKinnon, he has to be sent to the hospital.” Without delay, Sam got a jacket for Brendan and carried him down the stairs.After taking a few steps, he asked, “Miss McKinnon, it’s late now. Would you like to take a rest first? I’ll take you to the airport tomorrow morning.”Clenching her fist tightly, Deirdre forced herself to calm down. “How can I just walk away at this moment? I-I’ll go with you to the hospi

"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

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
