“You’re talking about the Brighthall Group?” “Yeah, when I first saw him, I thought he was a good man since he is so good-looking and has a successful career. I didn't expect him to do something like that. Just like people always say, you can't judge a book by its cover.”“Yeah, but I don't think this is something strange at all. After all, he's so powerful that he can do whatever he wants, and that's not something we common people can do anything about. I just feel a little bit disgusted. He can make the law bend to his will just because he has some power.”‘That’s right. Now that everyone in the city knows about it, he can’t run away anymore. Well, he deserves it. If it weren’t for the whistleblower, all of us would still be in the dark…”Deirdre stopped in her tracks.Mrs. Engel also heard their conversation, and she asked, “Mrs. Brighthall, are they talking about Mr. Brighthall?”“I have no idea either…” Deirdre’s head was a muddled mess.Those people’s words were filled wi
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 815 Mauled by the Angry Crowd
“Shameless! Get back to prison! No, you should be executed! You need to pay with your life!” “Get back to prison! Get back to prison!” Everyone shouted in chorus and started throwing stuff at Deirdre to vent their anger in the victim's place.Mrs. Engel hastily protected Deirdre under her arms and shouted, “Stop! Stop it! She’s pregnant!”“Pregnant? A killer like her shouldn’t even be allowed to have a baby!”“An apple won't fall far from its tree! An evil criminal like her will only give birth to another murderer! She should get an abortion!”The passersby were indignant, throwing eggs and vegetables at her relentlessly. Some of them even grabbed her hair and started beating her. This was the scene that Brendan saw when he arrived at the grocery store. His eyes became bloodshot as he charged into the grocery store.“Get off her!” Brendan pushed away those people who were beating Deirdre and protected her under his body. He ignored the pain on his shoulder and looked at De
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 816 Can You Let Me Go?
The fact that Brendan had been ambushed and Deirdre’s past had been exposed on the Internet meant she was not their primary target.Brendan knew it very well. It was just that he felt sorry for bringing Deirdre into this. The derision in the woman’s eyes was still vividly clear in his mind. Deirdre would not have suffered such humiliation if it were not for him.“I want the photo off the Internet. Don’t forget to delete all the posts and news about her as well.”“Then what about the person who uploaded the photo?”Deirdre narrowed his eyes dangerously and said, “I’m sure they are with the group of people who ambushed me. Just speed up your action.”“Yes, sir.”After Sam left, Brendan stitched his wound and reapplied the bandage. He went to Deirdre’s ward, and Mrs. Engel was waiting outside. “How is she?” asked Brendan.“There are scratches here and there on Mrs. Brighthall’s body, but they aren’t serious,” Mrs. said Engel, her eyes red around the rims. “However, she seems
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 817 Will You Let Charlene Confess to the Crime?
Brendan’s heart was torn apart as he buried his head in the woman’s shoulder.He already had the answer in his heart.He could not do it. He could not afford to lose Deirdre again, even if it was only for a day. Only when Deirdre was around him did he feel he was alive as a living person, not as a walking corpse.“I’m sorry…”“Stop saying sorry to me. I’ve heard enough of it.”Deirdre pushed him away as she felt disgusted. Brendan grabbed her fingers. His eyes were red and filled with determination. “Don’t worry. I’ll bring an end to all of this. I promise you that what happened today won’t happen again.”“Bring an end to all of this?” Deirdre looked at him. “How are you going to end it? Are you going to tell everyone in Neve that Charlene was the one who ran that person over? Will you tell everyone that she’s the murderer and bring her to justice?” Brendan was stumped, and a mocking smile hopped onto the corner of Deirdre’s lips. She had expected his reaction.Brendan too
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 818 Press Conference
Mrs. Engel was busy in the kitchen while Deirdre sat on the couch alone. After a while, she worried that Deirdre might get bored, so she dried her hand and switched on the TV.“Mrs. Brighthall, would you like some movie?”“Sure.”Deirdre felt her surroundings were too quiet as well. When it became too quiet, people would start to imagine things. In her case, when everything became quiet, she would hear the things those people said about her, and it stung her ears.Mrs. Engel was fumbling through the remote control. She accidentally switched to the news channel, and just when she was about to change to another channel, she was stunned as she looked at the TV.“Mr. Brighthall? Isn’t that Mr. Brighthall? What is he doing there?”Deirdre raised her head and listened to the news.“Brendan Brighthall from the Brighthall Group convened a press conference to respond to the news that has been spreading on the Internet. Whether the truth is as rumored, that Brendan paid for his ex-wife to
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 819 Questioning the Police
Everyone fell silent as Brendan scanned around the crowd with an oppressive gaze. The man who shouted just now did not make any noise anymore. Brendan glanced at Sam, and the latter nodded before leaving the crowd.Seizing the chance, a reporter asked, “Mr. Brighthall, you said the whole incident is pure slander, but why did we all see you leaving the grocery store with Charlene this morning? Could it be fake? There is no way that someone would fake a picture like that, right?”“If it isn't real, then who has the guts to defame the CEO of the Brighthall Group? Are they not worried about being sent to prison?”“Charlene had hit and killed someone. She should be serving her sentence in prison, but now she has appeared in front of everyone as if nothing has happened. All of us saw it with our own eyes. Do you think it's still fake?””Mr. Brighthall, is it because the Brighthall Group is so powerful in Neven that you think you can disregard the law or abuse the law to get your ex-wif

Everyone was stunned.“What? That woman isn’t Charlene but her cousin? He isn’t kidding, right?”“I doubt so. Look at the screen. Miss McKinnon’s information is on the screen. Even if he wants to forge a fake identity, it can't be this detailed. Besides, the victim's family has already come forward and explained everything personally, so I don't think it's fake. That woman isn't Charlene.”“Oh my gosh… Does this not mean that we’ve misunderstood Mr. Brighthall? I threw stuff at him just now…”“Me too! I pushed him!”“Mr. Brighthall is such a good man. He didn’t get angry at us when we scolded him. If he really is that kind of person who bends the law for personal gain, he would have sent the bodyguard to seize or warn me!”“That’s right. It’s Charlene who made a mistake, but he’s the one compensating the victim’s family. Not only that, but the victim's parents also talk well about him, and this means that he's a good person.”“I need to delete my comments on the Internet. Argh,

“Hmm.” Brendan could not be bothered by this. “How’s the situation with Sam?”-On the hotel's top level, Sam and the group of people from the organization kicked down a door without concern for the astounded man seated in front of the sofa watching the press conference.The man was the person left in the room. Sam closed the curtain, sized up the room, and looked at the man being pinned on the ground with a distorted expression. He stamped on the man’s face until the man was bleeding from his mouth.“Where’s your boss?”Sam would exert strength in his leg with every word he uttered. The man’s expression grew ferocious in pain. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about… I’m the only person here…”“You don’t smoke, so why are you using such an expensive lighter?”The man was astonished.Sam waved his hand and said, “Take him to the organization.”When the crew was done cleaning up the scene, Sam called up Brendan. “We’ve only managed to capture a subordinate, sir.”Brendan

"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.

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
