Chapter 775 I Would Love to Meet This Teacher of Yours

Author: Aqua Summers
Julia was in a rare mood to compliment others. “I know she sounds a little too young to be giving lessons, but I think she’s a good teacher. I actually get way more about piano from her than those teachers and their endless lectures about theories and all that junk!”

A kind smile broke out on Professor Ward’s lips. “Few people could elicit such high praises from my Julia. I really think we’ve struck gold this time.”

The girl’s cheeks went a little pink. “I mean, to be fair… I've been chowing down on the food she makes, too, so it’s not like I’m gonna bite the hand that feeds me, right?”

“Eating her food? Young lady! And here I thought you’d rather buy takeout than eat home-cooked meals!”

Her grandfather’s comment reminded Julia of the offer she had made. Deirdre might have rejected her when she asked the former to be her new cook, but maybe… if her grandfather was the one talking, Deirdre might relent after all!

Her eyes twinkled. She snuck up to Professor Ward and threw her arms

    Julia felt both shock and worry roll into one. She lurched and helped her up, demanding, “What’s wrong, Deirdre? Why were you hiding in the closet? And God, why are you shaking so much!?”Deirdre’s lashes were quivering. She desperately sought her voice, and when it finally came out like a leaky whisper, she exhaled, “I’m… fine…”“Miss me with that bullsh*t! You look like you’ve seen a ghost!”Deirdre sputtered out a dry laugh. It was as if she had a brush with Death itself—and for now, she lived. “I’m fine, really. I… I just need a favor. Please, Julia.”“W-What kind of favor?”Deirdre closed her eyes. “Don’t ever tell anyone my name.”“Your name?” Something larger than confusion and questioning loomed over Julia. “Why?”Unpacking the entire complexities of her life was too grueling, so Deirdre simply replied under her breath, “I know you’re a good kid at heart, Julia, but there are some things I can’t tell you. What I can say is that I’m not a bad guy and haven’t committed any

    Brendan furrowed his eyebrows. “When did they leave?”“Not long ago!” Henry’s answer sprung at the tail-end of his question. “About three or four days ago.”Three or four days ago? Meaning they had left the eastern Surstate and came straight to the west side. It was also the one blindspot of their manhunt. Brendan wished he could kick himself for this mistake. A part of him was mocking himself—oh, what lengths his darling Deirdre would not go to if it meant escaping him!How were they supposed to survive in the wealthier western Surstate now that Tobey’s bank account had been frozen? He shook himself out of his thoughts and finally turned to look Henry in the eyes for the first time. Part of him could not help but notice how much the man’s skin seemed to be glistening under the light. “Do you know where they went?”His display of patience made Henry feel honored and special. Brendan was the kind of elite, legendary figure everyone would scrape their knees to lick his shoes clea

    Sam lifted him high—a feat easy enough for his well-trained muscles. He chucked him at a chair, and the force with Henry’s weight combined smashed the poor thing into pieces.Sam picked up one of its legs like a baton.Henry almost wetted himself from the sudden change of events. Still lying on the floor, he begged, “Stop, Mr. Brighthall! Sir! Oh Lord, stop! I’ll give you everything you need! Don’t hit me! Please! Stop!”The blood from his nose and lips seemed to have mixed together before rolling down his face and splattering onto the floor. He was shaking.Sam turned to look at Brendan, who simply lit up a cigarette. The rage in his eyes hardly dissipated.The bodyguard understood. He stomped on Henry a few more times until the man was too beaten to even shout, and finally, Sam asked, “Do you know what was your mistake?”Henry shook his head like his life depended on it. Judging from his badly bruised face, he would not be wrong. Sam pulled him by the collar and said in a low

    ”I”m not here for the professor!” Brendan cut her off, his fingers clutching Julia’s arms. He had never looked so anxious before. “That piano teacher! Where is she?”Julia froze for a second. “The piano teacher?”Brendan shoved her aside and ran toward the piano room as Julia reeled out of her shock to follow him. “Brendan, she’s clocked out. She has gone home.”“Gone!?” Brendan thinned his lips and turned to fix a piercing stare at her. “I’m going to ask you one question, and I need you to answer me honestly. That piano teacher is visually impaired, isn’t she?”Julia averted her gaze. “Visually impaired? You mean, like a blind person?”“Yes. A blind woman.”Julia laughed mirthlessly. “Come on. How’s a blind person supposed to be anyone’s piano teacher?”“She’s… an able-bodied person, then.”“Yeah,” Julia quickly answered, nodding. She could not stop herself from adding, “You’re really out of sorts, Brendan. Why? Did you think that piano teacher is someone you know?”“Yes.” Br

    Deirdre nodded, her head trembling.Tobey hesitated no longer. “We should pack up and leave right now.”“No, we don’t have to go!” Deirdre tugged on his arm. “I told Julia not to pass any information about me to Brendan. Even if he wants to know about me, Julia’s going to dig up some excuses to throw him off my scent.”More importantly, Deirdre knew they could no longer afford to run like fugitives. “Are you sure?” The frown on Tobey’s face refused to go. “You’ve only known the girl for a week. He’s known her for way longer. What if she accidentally let out the secret and…”“No, that’s not gonna happen,” Deirdre replied as the firmness in the girl’s voice returned to her mind. “I told her a reasonably good fib. Julia might still be a little on the green side, but she’s a perceptive, bright kid. She should be able to cover us well enough.”Tobey could not find much to argue with that, so he turned his attention to calming her down. “Okay. That aside, you should take a bath and ta

    Deirdre took a deep breath. She did not expect Brendan to tell Julia everything. After all, he was the one who loathed their relationship the most.“Julia… Please calm down first. I’ll explain to you.”“Of course, you have to explain to me,” Julia said, her eyes widening. “That’s why I’m here! Why did you leave Brendan for this guy?”“No… You’ve got it wrong…” Deirdre let out a bitter smile. She was never the one who left Brendan. He was the one who had abandoned her. “This is a bit complicated, so I’ll make it simple for you. Long story short, we don’t love each other anymore. If you have been paying attention to Brendan, you should know that he already has a fiancee, and her name is Charli McKinsey.“We were indeed married before, but we've already gotten a divorce. He and Charli are the ones who really love each other. He cares about me because I'm pregnant. He wants my child, and that's something I won't let happen again.”“Again?”Deirdre gnashed her teeth and continued

    “Deirdre!” The man hugged Julia, and he sounded anxious. The faint fragrance he wore and the smell of his sweat tickled her nostrils, but she did not find it disgusting.Julia was stunned for a moment, but Tobey suddenly realized something. He released Julia and asked with a frown. “Who are you? Why are you inside my house?”“I…” It was only then Julia came around to her senses. She realized that he was Deirdre’s boyfriend, and her face turned red. Biting her lips, she said, “I’m Julia. I’m Deirdre’s student.”“Julia?” Tobey knew who she was, but he did not have time to talk to her now. “Where is Deirdre?”Deirdre came out of the room. “Tobey…”Tobey hastily went up to her and grabbed her hand. “Deirdre, quickly! We need to go now.”“Go now?” Deirdre became nervous again. “What happened?”“Some strangers are wandering in the neighborhood. I think they’re Brendan’s men, and they’re looking for you,” Tobey said sternly. “We need to go now and find another safer place.”“This is a

    Deirdre wondered when such days would end. Sensing her emotional state, Tobey handed her a bottle of water and comforted her. “Don’t worry. Brendan won’t be able to find us here since he doesn’t have any talons or fangs here. I’ll see if we can find another new place to stay in the coming next few days.”“But are we going to keep on doing this?” Deirdre raised her head and smiled mockingly. “Brendan is hunting us. We are hiding here and there and have lost our freedom.”She would not care about it if she was alone, but she could not bring herself to do this to Tobey.Tobey petted her head and said, “I’m sure he’ll give up at some point. When that happens, we can live here with our own identities.”“He won’t give up,” said Deirdre. “From the fact that he can track me here, it's obvious that he won't give up until he catches me.”She lowered her head for a moment, placed her hand on her stomach, and continued. “I know what he wants, so…”An idea surfaced in her head as she raised

"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.

    "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

    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?"
