Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 923 Sir, He’s Going to Kill Me!
Brendan did not speak but looked at her with his icy cold eyes. There was no telling what was on his mind. Charlene could not help feeling guilty. “Brendan…”“Charlene, don’t think that I’m a fool,” said Brendan. The coldness exuded from his body, and his eyes that could see through her were all meant to warn her. “I don’t want what happened last night to happen again, do you understand?”“Brendan…” Charlene was scared out of her wits, and tears streamed down her face instantly. She had no choice but to acknowledge her guilt at this point. “I didn’t do that on purpose. I love you too much, and I fell for a doctor’s advice. I thought that doing this would reconcile our relationship, I—”“It seems that you don’t understand my words.” Brendan interrupted her coldly. “I want you to answer that you won’t let this happen again.”He leaned over with narrowed eyes and a cold demeanor. "I despise being a pawn in someone's plan. Ophelia's survival is of lesser importance to me than being m
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 924 Was She With You?
Charlene bent over and got on her knees as she crawled her way to the man’s legs eagerly like a dog, with tears streaming down her face. “Sir! Please give me one more chance! I promise you! I promise you that I’ll get pregnant with Brendan’s child this time!”The man was unmoved. Soon, Charlene was captured by those men again. Her agonizing scream was blood-curdling.The man furrowed his eyebrows in contempt. He thought of something and sniggered coldly. “Isn’t it even better to get Brendan to raise a b*stard?”Charlene lost count of time until she regained consciousness. ‘This is all Deirdre’s fault!’The taxi driver looked at her with a mocking gaze after seeing the messy marks on her body. Charlene gnashed her teeth and scolded him until she arrived at the mansion. The grief and anger in her heart overwhelmed her quickly as soon as she saw the woman sitting peacefully on the sofa enjoying her dessert. “Deirdre, why are you so proud of yourself, huh? You’re lucky that Brend
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 925 Five Men
‘Behaving abnormally?’Brendan kept quiet for a moment before he answered calmly, “No. I’ve been in company meetings all day, and I haven’t left yet.”‘Haven’t left yet?’Deirdre was convinced, and Brendan asked, “Why? Is she stirring up trouble with you again?”“I’m used to her stirring up trouble because she is all talk and no action at most. I will just ignore her, but today, she…” Deirdre was having trouble putting it into words. Was she supposed to tell Brendan personally that Charlene was cheating on him because she could possibly be sleeping with other men?If she were to say that, she would hurt the man’s sense of pride easily.“Forget it, it’s fine.”“It’s not like you to stop yourself from saying something you want to say.” Brendan took a glance at Sam standing at the door and said, “I’ll just consider it as you keeping me in suspense, and I’ll be back tonight to recover it.”He ended the call, and Deirdre’s ears blushed with shyness. She came to understand what the
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 926 Prying for Answers
”Are you sure? Even if you’re ill, it's my duty as your fiance to be very concerned.” Brendan narrowed his eyes. “Or are you sulking because I’ve been neglecting you?”As he spoke, he quietly drew his distance closer and closer to Charlene until his face was only several inches away from her. “I mulled about it for a moment and decided that, yes, I’ve been unfair to you. We are to be married, after all. I’ll be staying here for the night.”That offer would have sent Charlene straight to rapture if it had happened at literally any other time. At that moment, though? It just made her so panicked she was on the verge of breaking down.“No!”She rejected him so immediately and urgently that Brendan stared at her.“I-I mean, what about Miss McKinnon? She’s still here in the mansion! I thought about this and, you know, it’s inappropriate to do this to her when she’s pregnant with your kid. We still have a lot of time together, but hers is running out. We should, you know, be the bigger
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 927 I’ve Only Ever Loved You
“What do you think Charlene is thinking, Deirdre?” Deirdre’s heart sank. There was no way around it—Charlene had been screwing another man. She raised her head and met his gaze with pity. “Oh-kay. Why are you looking at me like that?” Deirdre churned her thoughts a while longer before deciding to tell it as it was. “This is going to come off as painful to you, but I think you deserve to know at least something. I think… Charlene has another man.”“What gave you that idea?” Brendan replied. The emotion in his tone was unreadable. “I called you this afternoon, right? A few minutes before that, I smelled… well, a man’s sweat. And then Mrs. Engel told me the way Charlene walked was off. When you square all of those together, the conclusion, well, wrote itself… you know?”It took her a lot of courage just to hesitantly express her suspicion. She even mentally steeled herself to watch Brendan break down in shock. And yet, to her surprise, the man simply chuckled.“I see, I see!”
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 928 I’m Pregnant
Charlene was overjoyed. She called Brendan post-haste, her voice taking a coquettish tone, “Can you come home earlier today, Bren? I’ve got some really important announcements to make.”There was a brief beat of silence from the other side. “I’ll be home as soon as the meeting’s over.”“Terrific!”She straightened her back and began ordering Mrs. Engel to buy a list of cooking ingredients before personally preparing dinner. Relieved from kitchen duty, Mrs. Engel mused in the living room. “What’s with that Charlene? She’s as happy as a chimp with a banana. Is it her birthday today?”Deirdre shook her head. “It’s not this month.”“What else could possibly make her this happy, then?”“Good news upon her, I bet.”Before Mrs. Engel could understand what it meant, Brendan strode in from outside before hanging his suit on the rack.Charlene practically sprung out of the kitchen excitedly to greet him. “You’re home already, Bren?”“You called me about some important announcement, didn

The timescale matched. Brendan’s handsome features remained apathetic throughout the process. As they entered the car, Charlene asked sheepishly, “You… don’t want this kid, do you?”Her eyes turned misty. “If you don’t want them, just say it. I’m not going to force you into taking care of a child you don’t want. The last thing I want is to bring a fatherless kid to the world.” Brendan snapped out of his trance. “What are you saying? I said I was going to marry you, didn’t I?”As he turned the car engine on, Charlene laughed self-deprecatingly. “Yes, you did, but only because you needed news about Ophelia McKinnon’s whereabouts. It wasn’t out of real love. If it wasn’t for Ophelia, you wouldn’t even spare me a glance, would you?”Mentioning Ophelia brought a mocking sneer to Brendan’s face. “You really think I’d marry a woman I don’t love for Ophelia’s sake?”Charlene froze. Then, her eyes gleamed in anticipation. “What did you say, Bren?”Brendan was reluctant to repeat himsel
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 930 Wedding at the End of the Month
Brendan and Charlene’s marriage soon became a viral search term.Sam showed the comments to a silent, unreactive Brendan. Instead, he simply answered Charlene’s call as soon as it rang. The young woman made a production of being innocently confused, “Bren, what’s going on? Why were our pictures taken at the OB-GYN? What are we gonna do now?” Brendan thumbed through his documents. “You really didn’t know about it?”Charlene froze for a moment before chuckling dryly. “About what? This looks like a picture some bystander took in secret instead of traditional media journalists! We can’t control random people taking pictures of us. Or… do you want me to tweet out an explanation to throw them off?”“Everyone already knows you’re pregnant. No one’s going to believe otherwise.”Charlene sighed. “I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have brought you with me to the hospital… Now you’ve got another problem to handle.”“It’s okay.” Brendan rested his fingertip on his document. “The news is bound to

"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.

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
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
