Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 888 The Infamous Criminal
Many people were surprised because Brendan had not been invited to the banquet!Striding over, Desmond asked, “Brendan Brighthall! Don't you care about a woman, even if it means sacrificing the company’s future? Why are you here today?”After Brendan took the champagne from the waiter, he replied, “I just heard that the company is holding an internal banquet, yet I was not informed. I thought you were too happy that you forgot to invite me. So, I’m here just to congratulate you.”“Congratulate?” Desmond’s shrewd eyes were full of distrust. “Given your reputation in public, not shaming the company is already the biggest congratulation you can offer. You are not welcome at this banquet! We gave you a chance, but you didn’t know when to back off!”“Shaming?” Smiling, Brendan raised his glass. “Speaking of shaming, it seems that your acts were no better than mine in the past.”“Bren, I heard five years ago about a man named Desmond Griffin, who called two women into his room, and his

Brendan remained silent.Deirdre smiled and replied, “Mr. Griffin, I didn’t know that you knew so much. Do you think power can override the law? It seems like you’ve done this kind of thing a lot before, using your power to settle certain matters?”Feeling a pang, Desmond shouted, “Shut up!”“Who are you telling to shut up?” retorted Brendan as his smile faded.Desmond was at a loss for words.At that moment, Deirdre hooked her arm around Brendan’s and said, “Let it go, Bren. It’s understandable that Mr. Griffin is upset when his thoughts have been exposed. Don’t forget that we’re only here to congratulate Mr. Griffin today. I believe he’s open-minded enough not to care about the two of us talking, right?”Deirdre’s words put Desmond in a position whereby he would be seen as a petty man if he were to be enraged.Clenching his fists, Desmond recalled something and held back. “Do as you please! I don’t have time to cater to you!”Desmond turned and walked away, followed by severa

“Are you thinking about it on my behalf?” said Brendan with surprise.Deirdre blushed at Brendan’s words and replied only after a moment, “Apart from you thinking about something on my behalf and vice versa, is there nothing else? I just hope that you will be in a better situation. If you continue to act this way, Charlene may not want you anymore.”“What about you? Do you want me?” asked Brendan.Stunned, Deirdre shifted her focus away from Brendan and replied, “If even Charlene doesn’t want you, how can you expect me to want you?”“But I’m capable, handsome, loyal, and ambitious. I’ve got lots of advantages as long as you are careful to discover them,” said Brendan.Deirdre ignored Brendan’s bragging and continued to eat the snacks. She tasted some tasty ones and couldn’t help but want more.Subconsciously, she reached out to take more snacks from the plate, but it was empty.Seeing it, Brendan said, “Do you like them? Wait a minute. I’ll ask if there are more in the kitchen.

Mr. Zimmer watched them for a long time. He wanted to say something but refrained from speaking forcefully.“If you think your choice is right, you may go on, but it will be difficult for you to remove Desmond from his position when he holds it steadily. I’m with you.”Upon saying that, he turned around and left. Deirdre said, “Mr. Zimmer has a good attitude but is exasperated by you.”“I know.” Brendan was calm and composed. Deirdre asked, “Do you regret helping me in the hospital? If you were to send someone to help, you would still be safe and sound and would be the Brighthall Group’s ruler now.”Brendan’s gaze landed on Deirdre’s face with a meaningful look on his face. “My only regret is not helping you when I passed by the room the first time.”He spoke in a sincere tone, and his gaze was deep.Deirdre was at a loss for words, so she could only answer, “You will regret it.” Then, she lowered her head to take a sip of her juice. The party was peaceful. In fact, Deirdre

“Don’t deserve it, you say?”Brendan clutched the glass and burst out in laughter upon hearing that, but his eyes had no joy. “It seems that you’re not the one to determine if I deserve it, Mr. Griffin.”“Brendan! You’re still unrepentant at this point!” One board member angrily pointed at Brendan and berated him, “How will the Brighthall Group be in a crisis if not because of you? Everyone is discussing how to handle the situation with great effort so we can support the Brighthall Group through the crisis, yet you’ve actually brought a criminal with you! You brought in the police as well! You’re creating trouble for the Brighthall Group and bringing dishonor to your family!”“He’s right, Mr. Brighthall. You used to be outstanding and capable in the past. Even though you were young and reckless, the board of directors chose to tolerate you because we wanted the Brighthall Group to grow and expand. Yet, you disregarded the company because of a woman, and you’ve created such a big mes

“Not to mention he puts his heart and soul into his work over the years, while you’ve only guided the people around you without bothering to provide him with a basic salary increment.”Desmond raised his chin high and laughed proudly while he was speaking. “However, the first thing I’ll do is to guide and support Reagan when I assume my new role, so he will be promoted to the position that he deserves!”Reagan felt slightly guilty initially, but his gaze was tainted with determination and coldness when he looked at Brendan upon hearing the remark. He said to Desmond flatteringly, “Thank you, Mr. Griffin.”Desmond cracked a smile in pride. “It is what you deserve from the start, and I won’t treat you poorly, of course.”Brendan’s expression was indifferent, and his dark eyes were deep. He asked Reagan, “Is this the condition he offered you?”Reagan’s expression changed, and he cleared his throat. “I don’t understand what you’re implying, Mr. Brighthall. I understand Mr. Griffin’s i

“That’s right!” Everyone assumed that the police officer was mistaken. “These two people here are the offenders! One of them is Deirdre McKinnon, who pushed someone down the stairs, while the other… is the criminal’s accomplice who harbors said criminal! It would be best to capture both of them! They have no affiliation with the people in the hall!”The police officer furrowed his eyebrows and asked, while looking at Desmond in handcuffs, “Are you Desmond Griffin?”Desmond hastily nodded. “Yes! I am!”“There’s no mistake then. We’re taking you precisely. Someone reported you for tax evasion. Not only that, but our other team found poison in your mistress’ home. You’re coming with us at once!”The police took Desmond forcefully, and Mr. Church hastily stopped them. He pointed at Deirdre and asked, “How about her then? She is a criminal! Why aren’t you taking her first?”“Criminal?” The police officer frowned. “Firstly, even if she is guilty, she will be charged with intentional ass

Since it was a misunderstanding, the wind of change was blowing through the online community. The website was packed with users who were not only deleting their hateful comments but also posting their apologies. The entry ‘Brendan is a good man’ received a high upvote. At the same time, another entry was upvoted as well. “What is the meaning of this entry 'Let's talk about the dirty deeds of the Brighthall Group’s Desmond Griffin and his accomplices’?”Mr. Church’s expression changed drastically. He hastily clicked on the hashtag and discovered that the dirty deeds that Desmond, he, and a few others had committed had been exposed. His knees buckled all at once, and he sat on the floor weakly. He glared at Brendan in despair. “You madman! You took a bet on the Brighthall Group’s future on purpose!”Brendan loosened his tie and said coldly, “I learned that there were quite a few sneaky rats in the Brighthall Group when I was caught in a series of events, but I didn’t expect t

"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.

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?"
