However, Brendan figured that it was good she had watched it as he would not need to put in a lot of effort to explain it to her.“Where is she? Did she comment anything?”Mrs. Engel’s expression changed slightly as she said, “No. After watching the press conference, she grew too tired, so she returned to her room to rest.”Brendan knew something in his heart. He headed upstairs and opened the bedroom door. Deirdre lay on the bed with her back facing the door, and half of her body was covered by the blanket.Brendan walked over to find Deirdre awake. Her eyes were opened, and she was staring out the window absentmindedly. She did not respond to his presence.Brendan expected that and took a seat in front of her. “You watched the press conference, huh?”Deirdre looked up briefly. “Hmm, I watched it.”She cracked a mocking smile. “You truly deserve your reputation as the Brighthall Group’s CEO. You’re always capable of dealing with the information with the quickest method. C
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 823 Because You’re the One I Love
After a long while, he admitted by saying, “Yes, I did a great disservice to you.”Deirdre opened her eyes in surprise. She kept quiet for a while before she said, “I was thinking about how you managed to convince the victim’s parents to lie alongside you. What did you give them that was so good that they would go against their conscience?”She could still remember the married couple’s hatred and grumblings when she surrendered herself to the police. They were supposed to wish to execute the murderer badly.Brendan looked at the woman’s distancing figure. He wanted to stretch out his hand to touch her, but he pulled back his hand. “The reason is simple.” Brendan removed his jacket and lay with Deirdre. It felt as if that was the only way he could be closer to her. “I gave them enough money for them to live without any worries for the rest of their lives.”“That’s all?”Deirdre smiled, but he did not explain further. The victim was already dead, after all. The victim’s parents
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 824 Send Charlene to Prison
Deirdre did not understand why Brendan would disguise as Kyran to deceive her and wondered whether Brendan had feelings for her at some point as well. Yet, she denied those thoughts when he reconnected with Charlene once again.It was just another one of Brendan’s tricks. On the other hand, Deirdre felt her chest tighten and ache when she heard Brendan use the word ‘love’ repeatedly. Nonetheless, she calmed down instantly and cracked a smile in contempt. “What trick do you have up your sleeve again?”Brendan’s gaze dimmed as he looked at her changing expression. “Don’t you believe what I just said?”Deirdre’s mind was a chaotic mess. “I don’t know if I should believe you because you’ve deceived me way too many times. You have such a close relationship with Charlene and also…”She tried to clear her head with great effort. “If you really want to make Charlene plead guilty to her crime, why did you reject me in the hospital? You could have totally straightened the situation by no
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 825 Practice Moderation
Brendan headed downstairs and walked over quickly upon hearing that. His dark eyes were locked on Deirdre’s face, and he was relieved to see she did not look too ill.“Belly hurts? Since when? Why haven’t you told me that?”Deidre shoved at him. How could she tell him that? Apart from constantly ignoring each other, she did not feel the pain so obviously in the past two days, but the pain grew stronger yesterday when the man indulged in…Deirdre found it embarrassing just by thinking about it, and she did not wish to speak to him more.The doctor said, “I shall examine you briefly, Miss McKinnon.”“Sure.”Deirdre sat on the sofa while the doctor auscultated her. He noticed the marks on her neck during the process and let out a cough. “Uh… Frankly, it doesn’t seem like there’s anything unusual with your body based on the auscultation, Miss McKinnon. I think that it is possible…”The doctor wanted to speak but stopped himself. Brendan grew anxious. “What is it?”“It’s…” The
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 826 Are You the Woman From Yesterday?
Mrs. Engel let out a few dry laughs, “Nothing. I’m worried we will run into those people again when we go to the grocery store.”Brendan gave her an assuring gaze and said, “Don’t worry. Just bring her with you.”Mrs. Engel knew that Brendan must have something prepared. She nodded, and just when she was about to turn around, Brendan said, “Oh yeah, don’t forget to buy a chicken.”He did not like the feeling when he saw the chicken in the trash.“Mr. Brighthall… Don’t tell me that you still want Mrs. Brighthall to cook chicken soup for you in her current state?” Mrs. Engel asked, her voice thick with disbelief.If that was really what Brendan wanted, she was perturbed by his low level of emotional intelligence.Brendan’s face sank slightly, and he replied, “It’s none of your business. Just listen to what I told you to do. Besides, don’t tell Deirdre that I’m the one who asked her to go out.”Mrs. Engel nodded.When she returned, Deirdre was already standing in the living room.
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 827 Fulfilling Promise
“Are you going to beat us up like what you did yesterday?” snarled Mrs. Engel, shielding Deirdre behind her.Deirdre placed her hand on Mrs. Engel’s arm and calmed her down.“It’s okay. I can handle this.”“Mrs. Brighthall…”Deirdre took a step forward. She lowered her head to mask the complicated emotions in her eyes.She did not know what Brendan was trying to do at all. Did he want her to remember these people’s anger so that she would be grateful to him for saving her from her misery? ‘Well… It does seem like something he would do,’ Deirdre thought sarcastically.“After that, she raised her head and said, “Yes, it’s me. What do you guys want? If you want to know more about the news, I can explain about it.”The person standing at the front said, “Explain? No, we don’t need that. You don’t have to explain to us at all. It's just a misunderstanding. I'm really sorry for doing that to you yesterday, Miss McKinnon. We felt bad when we watched the press conference. It's a good
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 828 It’s About Time for Her to Make a Move
Deirdre did not know if she should trust Brendan or not.After they went back into the car, Brendan looked into the bag and asked, “Mrs. Engel, where is the thing I asked you to buy?”Mrs. Engel smacked her forehead and said, “Oh gosh, I was so confused by them that I forgot to buy it.”“Go buy it now.”Mrs. Engel got out of the car, and Deirdre looked at Brendan in confusion.“What did you ask Mrs. Engel to buy?”“You’ll know about it later.”Deirdre was stumped. There were only vegetables and groceries in the grocery store. She did not know why Brendan had to make it so mysterious. -In a villa, the man narrowed his eyes dangerously as he watched the whole process of Sam going into the hotel room and capturing the people in it.One of his men standing beside him gnashed his teeth and said, “I can’t believe Brendan could still foil our plan despite his injuries. I should have killed him when we were on the mountain!”The man tapped his finger on the table and asked, “So, a
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 829 Are You Worried About Me?
At that time, the only person he cared about was Deirdre. When he was hungry, he would order her to serve him the food regardless of how tired she was. At that time, he felt as if he was doing her a big favor by just talking to her.‘So, this is how her life was… So, this is how she felt…’He had been in there for less than ten minutes, and he was already this tired. One could imagine how tired Deirdre was in the past.“Brendan?” Deirdre knocked on the door again when Brendan did not respond. “Come out now. This isn’t something you can do. If you want some chicken soup, I can give the recipe to Mrs. Engel and ask her to make it for you.”Brendan never expected that he would be defeated by something so trivial as cooking, while he was the alpha in the business circle. It took him a lot of effort to cut the chicken into pieces. After that, he said, “It’s okay. I’m almost done.”‘He’s almost done?’ Deirdre was skeptical. “Open the door now.”Brendan hastily cleaned up the kitche

"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.-

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
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
