Tobey was actually drunk. Deirdre could not help furrowing her eyebrows tightly and draped a scarf over herself before opening the door. Henry fixed his eyes upon the sight of Deirdre, who still looked exquisite despite not having any makeup on, and he felt that he had sobered up substantially.“You’re still awake, Miss McKinnon?”Deirdre let out a forced chuckle and extended her arms to receive Tobey. “Leave Tobey with me. Thank you for sending him home, Mr. Walker. It’s late, so I won’t invite you in for a night cup.”Her act of rejecting Henry as a guest was obvious, but Henry appeared to be oblivious. He shoved the door and squeezed himself into the residence. “Tobey is drunk. How can you care for him when you can’t see? I’m here to offer myself as a high-school friend.”He entered the house and sized up the environment of the house first. He was surprised to discover something and said, “You’re boyfriend and girlfriend, but you’re still living in separate rooms?”Deirdre br
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 766 You’re Going to Kill Him
Deirdre felt drowsy the more she thought about it and shut her eyes as she drifted to sleep. All of a sudden, she felt her calf being touched by someone’s hands. She was jolted awake and opened her eyes to pitch blackness. She heard Tobey’s even breathing sound next to her. Could it be that Tobey touched her in his drunken state?She relaxed her racing heart and was preparing to shut her eyes again when the pair of hands touched her once again and crept upward to her thighs in a chaotic manner. “Who’s there!?” Deirdre was scared out of her wits and struggled in an attempt to get up. In the next moment, a man lay directly on top of her and breathed heavily. Deirdre became fully awake when she smelled the alcoholic stench on the man’s breath. “What are you doing!? Mr. Walker!”She was deeply terrified. ‘How did Henry get into the room? I didn’t hear the sound of the door being unlocked at all!’Henry caressed Deirdre with his hands eagerly and greedily smelled the scent of h
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 767 Why Are You Saying Sorry?
They could not stay here anymore. After tonight, perhaps Henry would send someone to punish Tobey, so they had to seize the opportunity to leave quickly when Henry was still alone. “Hold on.” Tobey pulled his phone out of his pocket and said to Deirdre, “You should go outside first. I shall come to see you when I’m done packing.”Deirdre kept quiet for a moment before she turned around and left. At the very moment the door was shut, Henry’s terrified voice was heard coming from the room.“Tobey… Tobey… I won’t do it again! Please spare me this time and consider that nothing has happened today. I promise that I won’t tell others… What are you doing!? Tobey Russell!”Afterward, Tobey got out of the house with his packed clothes. He held Deirdre’s wrist and said, “Let’s go.”Deirdre walked after him and asked, “Will Henry report us to the police?”“He won’t.” Tobey spoke through his gritted teeth. “What he did isn’t anything glamorous. In addition, I took some photos of him. If he
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 768 Professor From Neve
The manager’s interest was piqued upon hearing Deirdre’s final sentence. “Leave your number, and I’ll see if there’s anything up your alley.”Deirdre did not have a phone, so she left Tobey’s phone number. A few days passed, but there was no response. Just as Deirdre thought that she would not be able to land a job, Tobey returned from work at night and told Deirdre, “A woman called me today wanting to talk to you. Her name is Ms. Reed, and she is a manager somewhere.”Deirdre perked up. “What did she say?”Tobey said, “She did not explain in detail after learning that I’m not you. She told me to let you call her back when I’m home.”Deirdre hastily instructed Tobey to call the manager.The manager picked up the call after a while and said before Deirdre could speak, “Is this Miss McKinnon?”“Yes, it’s me!”The manager chuckled and said, “You hit the jackpot. I chatted with a highly-respectable professor with whom I have a rather close relationship, and he wanted to commis

“Piano teacher?” Julia Ward was dumbfounded. She pointed at Deirdre and only found her voice after a while to say, “My grandfather is so old that he became demented, right? He’s pretty desperate, isn’t he? It’s fine if he’s hiring a piano teacher, but he has actually hired a blind one!?”The girl spoke in an uncourteous tone, but Deirdre did not pay attention to that at all. Shauna said, “You may call Prof. Ward to verify.”Julia refused to believe these people, so she walked inside to make a call in her slippers. After a while, her voice was heard coming from the room. “What the h*ck, grandfather!?”“She can’t even see! Am I going to learn from the teacher or learn to trouble myself?“Yes! You’re kind, magnanimous, and ready to help others, but don’t you try to implicate your granddaughter!“I really… Forget it!”After a while, Julia walked out, slamming the door in a rage, and said to Deirdre, “Come in. I’m just going to put this out there. I won’t be bothered to care for you

Julia was especially displeased. “Why are you smiling?”“Nothing. There’s something that I need you to know. Professor Ward hired me, so it ought to be Professor Ward who speaks to me in person if he wants to fire me. Only then I’ll leave. Even if you have the courage to infuriate me, I will not leave here either.”Julia narrowed her eyes. “Why? Do you love this job so much that you will put up with a person like me?”Deirdre said honestly, “It’s because I need money and need to make a living to support myself. If you were to pay me a full 40,000 dollars, perhaps I might consider not working as your piano teacher and tender my resignation on my own accord.”Julia was stunned for a moment before she said angrily, “You wish!”Then, the lesson lasted until night.Deirdre could tell that Julia was rather interested in playing the piano because she stopped being so cynical when she was engrossed in the lesson.Deirdre met Professor Ward at night, and he sounded like a kind, easygoing
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 771 I Think We’re Getting Along
“Uh, what did you use to wash it? Seriously, can you stop bringing all sorts of weird sh*t from your place to our house? My grandfather’s health is at stake here! Even a single germ on that thing you called a bag might hurt him, and you bet your *as you’re not gonna be able to foot his hospital bill!”Helplessly, Deirdre took the food out of the bag while Julia—not so much holding it but pinching it between her fingers—dropped the bag into the garbage bin. “What’s that supposed to be?” she asked, her eyes set on Deirdre’s hands. “My dinner,” she answered.Julia snorted. “Well, guess I can’t fault you for thinking ahead. Your food isn’t included in our agreement,” she remarked. “You can put your food inside our fridge and then microwave it in the evening. Go.”“But my food’s still steaming. It’s not good to store it in the fridge when it’s still hot.” Deirdre hesitated for a moment and pulled the lid open. “I should cool it first.”It should take the food only half an hour to co
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 772 Any News About Her?
“Huh? What’s that about your dinner?”Deirdre told Tobey how everything had gone down, and the young man chuckled. “Ha, I knew you’ve got the magic, Dee,” he remarked.A cool evening wind billowed, and he smoothed her hair. “Too bad that cost you your dinner, though. But you’re in luck. There is a pretty good grill stall in town, and according to rumors, they have less oily and flavorful options. Wanna give that a try?”“Sounds great! I happen to think today’s progress calls for a celebration.”Tobey clapped the cushion of a share-bike. “Get into my sweet ride for the evening, miss. I am but your humble chauffeur.”Deirdre got onto the backseat and tightly held the edge of Tobey’s shirt. He started to pedal, and the two set sail into the wind.During a few seemingly trivial seconds, an Audi brushed past them. “Sir, Professor Ward’s residence is right ahead,” Sam reported as he scanned the neighborhood. “Do you want to visit him now that you’re in Surstate?”The man he was addr

"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.

"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

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

"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
