Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 89 Avenge Charlene
“Why haven’t you died yet, you jinx! It’s fine that you’re constantly lingering around Brendan and me, but you actually got Brendan so sick today. If Brendan is not awake by tomorrow, I assure you that I won’t let you off!”She spoke in a loud voice as if she had slapped Deirdre to avenge Brendan. However, she felt delighted in her heart after delivering the slap as she had been putting up with this anger since yesterday night. Deirdre stumbled back from the pain. Her face was burning, and when she recovered from the surprise, she was not infuriated but raised her head, facing Charlene. “You can’t even be bothered to put on an act in Brendan’s presence now, huh, Ms. McKinney? If Brendan were to gain consciousness coincidentally now, he would be quite surprised to see you like this, right? Or…” Deirdre drawled before she chuckled calmly. “You’ve already lost your senses out of jealousy, so you just couldn’t care less about anything but venting your anger, Ms. McKinney?”The smile
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 90 His Enthusiasm Was for Nothing
Deirdre’s entire body was shaking. Sam pinched her lower jaw to pry open her mouth forcefully in order to prevent her from biting herself.“Don’t hurt yourself, Ms. McKinnon. Mr. Brighthall is going to feel sorry for you if he sees this.”‘Feel sorry?’Deirdre burst out laughing. She had assumed that Brendan had perhaps realized his error when he had stood in front of the family mansion. In truth, he had done it so that he could torment her more easily. How could a person like him feel sorry for her?If he had felt sorry for her, would he have done nothing when her face had been cruelly destroyed, when her child had been aborted, and when she had been bullied in prison?He had been a cold, heartless devil all this time.Deirdre shut her eyes and felt intense fatigue overpowering her entire body. She had felt like her world was dark for a moment. Now, it felt as if she had found something that she’d thought was hope in the darkness, only to find that her hands were covered in
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 91 What if I Don’t Apologize
He had not been counting on Deirdre to cry in sympathy or have a sleepless night when he was sick, yet she had not even bothered to show any concern for him!He wondered if she wanted him to die from the illness so that she could be with Sterling without no scruples. ‘How can this woman be so cruel!’ he sighed inwardly.Charlene brushed back the long hair covering her neck at this time. She pretentiously attempted to comfort him by saying, “Don’t blame Ms. McKinnon, Bren. Her body has always been weak, so I suppose she didn’t want to be infected. Besides, she wasn’t in a good mood yesterday…”Brendan narrowed his eyes at the sight of the marks on Charlene’s neck. “What happened to your neck?”Charlene’s face turned pale abruptly, and she covered her neck with her long hair once again. “It’s… It’s nothing…”“Do you really want me to look into this?”Charlene bit her lower lip. “It’s really nothing. Ms. McKinnon was in a bad mood, so it was only normal that she took it out on me.
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 92 It’s Because He Won’t Believe You
“It’s fine if you don’t apologize.” Brendan’s expression was cruel. “However, I hope you don’t regret this.”“Are you going to take it out on Sterling again?” Deirdre’s entire body was shaking. “Is this all that you can do?!”Brendan was not planning to do that, yet he was infuriated that she would risk her life to protect him, so he said, “That’s right! You can choose not to apologize to her, but I will make sure that Sterling is on the most popular searches and enjoys the best treatment the paparazzi have to offer these days. You’re going to thank me then!”‘Brendan is merciless. He would actually blackmail me to this extent…‘It is obviously Charlene who hit me first, yet I’m forced to apologize to her. There is no unfairness in Brendan’s world, but there is favoritism when it comes to the woman he loves,’ thought Deirdre inwardly. She was used to that and uttered, “Sure, I’ll apologize!”Charlene stood at the door. She walked into the room when the timing was about right and
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 93 Listen to the Other Side of the Story
Everyone, including Sam, knew that Charlene had saved Brendan’s life and was aware of her status. No one would have the courage to challenge Charlene’s status because Charlene could not be defeated. Besides, she was vengeful, so anyone who challenged her would be doomed. “Sure… I shall get someone to dress your wound first, or it will get infected easily.”Deirdre forced a smile on her pale face. “Thank you…”“Don’t mention it.”-Brendan did not take a step into the hospital in the next few days. However, he did not visit Charlene either. Instead, he worked on his documents in the office, alone until late at night, before falling asleep in the room there. However, he would have trouble falling asleep as soon as he shut his eyes, his head filled with images of Deirdre. He was furious, and he wondered why a blind woman would affect his mood so much. He turned over and got out of bed. He then put on his jacket and left the building. When he arrived at the hospital, Sam was ca
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 94 How Did You Get Injured?
‘Listen to the other side of the story?’Brendan was stunned for a moment. He had never cared about Deirdre’s side of the story because Charlene would never lie to him. However…“You said Charlene made a provocative remark?” He could not help raising an eyebrow because Charlene had never mentioned this to him. Sam nodded in haste. “It was my first time seeing Ms. McKinnon so furious. After I restrained Ms. McKinnon, Ms. McKinney made the remark, but I can’t remember the details.”“Noted.” Brendan exhaled and said, “You can go home and rest. I’ll be here.”“Sure.”Sam left. Brendan looked at the woman lying on the bed from the door, his head filled with Sam’s words about Charlene making a provocative remark. He wondered what Charlene had said and why Deirdre had not mentioned it. He was upset when he entered the room. Deirdre was still resting on the bed, but she seemed to be restless in her sleep. Her eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and for some reason, her hand that lay a
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 95 Would It Kill You to Stop Vilifying Her
“...I forgot. I believe that I burned myself accidentally when I was drinking warm water.”“You’re lying!” Brendan tightened his grip over her lower jaw. He knew Deirdre so well that he knew she would lower her head subconsciously to avoid him every time she lied. “If you don’t tell the truth, don’t blame me for holding Sam accountable.”Deirdre took a deep breath, shut her eyes, then opened them again. “Charlene did it. Are you satisfied?”Brendan assumed a disgusted expression as soon as she said it. “Deirdre, you must know your limits when you’re trying to frame someone! Charlene was with me all day long on the 19th, so how could she have hurt you! Would it kill you to stop vilifying Charlene?”‘Here we go again.’Deirdre wanted to laugh. He had done everything he could to force her to tell the truth but he refused to believe her when she told the truth. In that case, what was the point of her being honest?“This is the answer you’ll get if you don’t want me to lie. There’s no
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 96 She Didn’t Lie
“There’s no wound on the patient’s hand?” The nurse was caught by surprise. “There is a wound, though. It’s very serious. It’s not only infected, but the wound will discharge pus at night. That is why we keep the wound bandaged.”“Infected?” Brendan got up from his seat. “When did that happen?”The nurse thought for a moment. “On the morning of the 19th.”Deirdre was actually telling the truth. She had been injured on the morning of the 19th. On the other hand, that morning…Brendan could not help breathing heavily as the image of Charlene showing up that morning popped into his mind. He clenched his fists tightly and asked eagerly, “What does the wound look like?”The nurse was startled but she did not have the courage not to reply. She considered it closely for a moment before she pointed at the back of her hand. “It’s injured here, here, and here. It’s all covered in puncture wounds, and her hand bruised up right away. Her flesh was dug out of her skin, and she was bleeding pro

Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1573 Let Me Be Your Husband
"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.-
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1570 The Evidence to Turn the Tables
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
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1568 The Plan Was Exposed
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
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 1566 Something From Mother
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
