Soon, the call was connected, and a voice wafted from the other side of the line. It was Sam. It was pretty noisy on his side, so he found a quieter corner and asked, “Who’s on the line?”Deirdre pinched her thigh tightly. After calming herself down, she said, “Sam, it’s me.”Sam fell silent for a long while when he heard Deirdre’s voice. “Miss McKinnon?”He was both surprised and confused. He did not know why Deirdre would suddenly call him.“What… What can I do for you?”If it were normal times, Deirdre would be teasing him, but her mind was full of Charlene’s acquittal right now. She felt like an invisible hand had clutched at her heart, and she could barely breathe. She took a deep breath, and her eyes turned red as she asked, "Where is Brendan?" “Mr. Brighthall?” Sam was stunned for a moment. “He’s inside.”Deirdre covered her face and continued in a stern voice. “Get him on the phone.”“What?” Sam hesitated. “Miss McKinnon, I—”“Please get him on the phone, Sam. I beg y
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 683 Take Me Away
This was something that Deirdre had expected. After all, Brendan was a heartless man who could push his wife, whom he had married for two years, into the abyss without batting an eyelid.“Charlene has been released from jail without charge. It's Brendan who saved her. He promised that he would bring Charlene to justice, and after getting bored of playing with me, he went back on his word and took Charlene out.”Kyran clenched his hand on her back slightly and replied, “I know.”“You know?” Deirdre suddenly raised her head and looked at Kyran when she heard what he said.Her eyes seemed to have become clearer after being washed by her tears. She looked at Kyran fixedly and pressed on. “How do you know?”A hint of nervousness crossed Kyran’s eyes. Before he could say anything, Deirdre’s eyes widened in shock.“That day… was Brendan?” Deirdre asked as she grabbed his shirt, her voice thick with agitation. “That middle-aged woman and everything that happened recently... It's Brendan,

“By the way, where is Kyran? Is he not home today?”“Yeah,” replied Deirdre. “He went back to Alnwick today. After all, the resort project belongs to him and Mr. King. He can't let Mr. King handle everything by himself, so he decided to get everything done before returning to Germia.”“That’s great!”“That’s great?” Deirdre was stunned.Glenna grabbed her hand and said excitedly, “Since he’s not home now, we can go out and have some fun!”“What do you want to do then?”Glenna lifted her fingers and started counting. “There is a lot I want to do. We can watch a movie or go to the amusement park. We can even go to an internet cafe, or a bar, or participate in a music festival! There are a lot of things we can do together! Oh yeah, my colleague told me that there is a new restaurant in town. All of their dishes are delicious, and the chef comes from Italin. I heard that he's very young and handsome!”“It sounds like the last sentence is your main point.” Deirdre chuckled. “I though
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 685 A Familiar Woman’s Voice
“Hi, I’m Deirdre McKinnon.”Elyne was stunned for a moment, but she did not say anything. She chuckled and turned to look at Whelan, who was standing next to her. When she realized that Whelan was staring at Deirdre, she nudged him with her elbow and said, “Stop looking at her like that. Hurry up and introduce yourself.”It was only then Whelan snapped himself out of his trance. He scratched his head and said, “Hi, Miss McKinnon. I’m Whelan McKinnon.”Elyne knew that Whelan had a thing for Deirdre, so she decided to help him. She pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, “Wow! Both of you have the same surname. What a coincidence!”“That’s nothing,” Glenna chimed in and said, “All of us came from the same family a thousand years ago.”“Do you have to be such a joy killer?” shouted Elyne.Deirdre was affected by the lively atmosphere and felt a lot better now.The three of them took great care of her when they arrived at the amusement park. However, most of the time, it was Whel
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 686 Brendan Is in That Private Room
“Deirdre? What’s wrong? They’ve finished cleaning the room. Let’s go in,” said Glenna.Deirdre came back to her senses, but her pupils were slightly constricted.She would rather believe that her ears were playing a trick on her. After all, there were many people here, so there was a high chance that she might have misheard. Besides, there was also a possibility that she was being paranoid and sensitive. Other than these two reasons, she could not find any other excuses to explain why she would hear Charlene’s voice here.“Deirdre?”“I’m sorry.” Deirdre forced herself to smile. She did not want to spoil their fun, so she said, “I was thinking about something just now. Let’s go in.”Glenna frowned worriedly and patted her shoulder, “You’re thinking about that thing again? It's all in the past. You should stop thinking about it.”“Okay.”After that, Deirdre followed Glenna into the private room.Glenna was surprised by the decoration in the private room and exclaimed, “New rest
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 687 He Mustn’t Know That I’m Here
“Yeah. How did you know about that?”“I know the customers inside that private room. She likes to order a lot of food. It’s just that…” Deirdre came to an abrupt stop before finishing her sentence.“It’s just what?”“She doesn't have much money and likes to puff herself up to the cost. When she was in Neve, she always ran away before paying when those new restaurants weren't paying attention to her. I didn't expect she'd come here now, and I'm pretty sure that she'll do the same this time.”The receptionist did not say anything after Deirdre finished speaking, so she added, “If you don’t believe me, you can go around and ask about it yourself. That woman’s name is Charlene McKinney.”“That is not necessary.” The receptionist smiled. “Thank you for your advice, Miss, but don’t worry. That woman won’t do that this time.”“Why are you so sure of that?” asked Deirdre.“It’s because Mr. Brendan Brighthall has booked that private room.”Deirdre froze for a moment. Her fingertips were
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 688 Who’s He?
30 feet… 15 feet… 7 feet…Deirdre’s heart was hammering rapidly inside her chest as her fingertips went cold. Then, with a stomp, the man’s feet landed on the staircase.At that moment, Deirdre’s heart skipped a beat as well.Both of them were right above the stairs while Brendan was behind them.Brendan continued to climb the stairs, and apparently, he did not notice them. Soon, he arrived next to them in a few steps, and his body scent tickled Deirdre’s nostrils. Just when Deirdre thought something was about to happen, he walked straight past them and headed up to a higher floor.‘He didn’t notice me?’When the thought surfaced in Deirdre’s brain, she felt as if all her energy had left her body. She let go of Whelan and found that her back was wet with sweat.“Miss McKinnon, can you tell me what happened?” Whelan asked, “Are you alright?”Even though he tried to keep his voice low, Brendan still heard his voice and stopped in his tracks.Deirdre’s face turned ashen pale as
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 689 Can You Be More Heartless?
“Brendan, do you want me to remind you again? We’re no longer husband and wife. I can go wherever I want. You have no right to control me!”“I have no right?” Brendan was so infuriated that he felt a throbbing pain in his temples. “What about your boyfriend? Does your boyfriend allow you to hug another man? Deirdre, have you no shame?”‘Have I no shame?’Deirdre sneered coldly. She might feel a bit embarrassed if other people said something like this to her, but what made Brendan think he could judge her like this? The only person in this world who did not have the right to say that she was shameless was him.“Even if I'm shameless, at least I know that we need to keep our promise. What about you, Mr. Brighthall?” Deirdre said through gritted teeth. She forced down her anger and scoffed mockingly. “How much truth is there in what you say?”Brendan parted his lips. There were a lot of things he wanted to say, but he swallowed them back into his stomach pit. In the end, he just sa

"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.

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.-

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

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?" Deirdre forced herself to calm
