Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 940 It’s All Deirdre’s Evil Plan!
Charlene regarded him as though he was her messiah. Throwing her arms around his thigh, she launched a litany to explain why she was innocent despite the weight of evidence showing otherwise.“Bren, you believe me, don’t you? Someone set me up! I don’t know who, but I know they’re trying to destroy me. You know I devote my heart and soul to you, Bren! How could I possibly want to be with any other guys!?”Brendan said nothing, even as Charlene tightened her arms around his legs. He took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it up. When white smoke started to swirl in the air around them, he finally looked down at her. “How big of an idiot do you think I am, Charlene?”Charlene considered the frigid look on his face and shivered. “I’m willing to excuse your… orgy with the possibility that you’ve been drugged.” He continued. “But what about those pictures? How are you supposed to explain that away? Doctored? Deep fake?”His inquisitor’s tone bleached Charlene’s visage. Her lips w

Charlene’s mind raced to everything that had happened to her back there as fear, panic, and lividity ravaged her. But now was not the time to lose control. She recalled how Brendan tried his best to maintain his composure and defended her despite being humiliated by the ordeal. It meant that he still cared about her and had enough care and love for her that he could not bear to watch her suffer.She had to secure this man! If Brendan decided to abandon her, those people she had been forced to work with… they had even less reservation about abandoning her, too. Someone whose reputation had gone down the sh*tter to the elite circle could not possibly rise up on their own ever again!After squaring the pros and cons of her options, Charlene turned on her heels and left quickly. The waitress watched her darting away, and the smug grin on her face disappeared. Solemnly, she said, “She’s gone, Miss McKinnon.”Deirdre rubbed her arms, which were cold from being exposed to the AC. “Ph

Brendan sneered. “Well, well. Aren’t you naive?”Sam knocked on the door at just that moment, his visage grim. Brendan extinguished his cigarette and asked, “What’s wrong?”Sam shot a resentful glance at Charlene. “Someone’s taken pictures of what happened, so now… Charlene’s scandal has been leaked out to the public and became viral. Everyone has been anticipating this wedding for so long that this piece of news immediately became the most viral discussion. We couldn’t censor it at all.”Brendan scowled in silence. Charlene was aghast. “But how? How did it get leaked!?”“Why wouldn’t it, huh!?” Sam snapped at her. “Mr. Brighthall had a target painted on his back these days, so of course, they would be glad for a story that would ruin him in one fell swoop! Hell, it didn’t just leak! They clearly put in money to deliberately amplify the story to all corners of the Internet! Not only does Mr. Brighthall have to suffer being seen as a cuckolded husband, but the company’s tanking in

”Bren, I know someone who holds a grudge against you, but I can’t… tell if he’s the real mastermind behind the conspiracy against you.” “Oh?” Brendan’s interest was piqued. He focused his attention on Charlene’s face as though reading her. “Who is it?”She bit her lips. “I don’t know his name, but I know he’s not someone from Neve.”“Not from Neve?” Brendan’s eyebrows were furrowed together. “If he’s not someone who lives in Neve, then why would he hold a grudge against me?”“I don’t know. I only learned this much when they asked me to work with them.”“Work with them?”“Yes. They wanted to ruin you through my relationship with me and even resorted to compensating me financially.” Her eyes shifted for a moment, and she decided she needed to express her loyalty. “But they were never as important to me as you are, so I said no to working with them. But given how much they wanted to destroy you, I bet they didn’t let up just because I refused to help. So, all of this is probably… t
Last Updated : 2023-03-06Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 944 Leaked Photos
“Nothing makes a man wanna protect more than his ego, right? Especially someone like Brendan. We can see that from what happened a few years ago. How could someone like that even allow news of himself being cucked to be leaked to the world? It just doesn’t make sense.”The man sank into a pensive silence. The underling was not wrong, yet he could not help but think something was amiss about this entire event—even if he could not connect Brendan to the mastermind. A long beat later, the man finally broke his silence. “Charlene McKinney is not salvageable by this point. Time to use this. Add fuel into Brendan’s chaos.”-Three days later, another story related to Charlene made the rounds. This time, intimate photos between herself and other men were under the spotlight. The leaker had stories, too. While Charlene was “a sl*t”, Brendan was described as someone whose apparent chastity and self-control were completely faked. He had predatory relationships with many minors, the leaker c
Last Updated : 2023-03-06Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 945 I’ll Tell the Media the Truth
“Why hasn’t Mr. Brighthall come out to say anything after three days? Is it not the truth that his fiancee’s been sleeping with other men? The fact that he remains silent even after this discovery makes people wonder if the rumors are true about him doing equally despicable things on his own. Is this him trying to give Charli a second chance because he needs to absolve his own guilt?”“Nobody with a healthy sense of self-worth would accept a partner like this! Does the fact that Brendan can show that he’s someone who’s on the same boat as she is?”Charlene snuck out of the cab and entered the basement parking lot, making her way to the private passage. When she passed an employee by, she removed her mask to show them who she was. The employee regarded her with contempt and disgust, but they pushed the button to the highest floor and let her in silently.She reached the door to his office. Just one second before pushing the door open, she heard Sam shouting at his angriest. “We cou
Last Updated : 2023-03-07Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 946 Why Cut Off Contact
Charlene hugged Brendan tightly and wept silently. He rubbed her back soothingly.His eyes were nonchalant and cold.“You’re only going through this because of me, aren’t you? With that in mind, how could I possibly sit on my hands while you go out there like that? Especially when the public is at its most merciless? If you go down there and explain it that way, your life will be lost forever.”Charlene sniffled as a twinkle of glee flitted through her eyes. It was just as she had suspected! Brendan would not leave her the moment she shed some tears.“But what are we going to do now? Your reputation… your name… they’re all ruined because of me! I don’t even dare return to the villa, Bren. I don’t know how to stand before Miss McKinnon and listen to her mocking me! I can’t bear it! The guilt… The agony…”“It’s not your fault.” Brendan comforted her. “It will pass.”Not that the journey to letting the entire event go would be easy. While they were locked in a comforting cuddle, B

The man seemed to realize it too, but he didn’t feel apologetic. Nevertheless, he did try to explain in a soothing tone, “I thought Brendan would make you bite the bullet, so I took the risk and did whatever I could so that Brendan had no time to deal with you while I got someone to take you out. After all, I should be giving you something good in return for your work for me.”Charlene wanted to laugh, but she appeared obedient when she replied, “When the incident happened, Brendan was indeed very disappointed in me. But because he still likes me, he temporarily let me stay in the mansion while trying to pour oil in troubled waters to protect me.”Unpredictable emotion was hiding in the man’s eyes when he said, “You should have contacted us from the beginning so we could have stopped the release of those photos at the conference.”Stopped? Weren’t they the ones who had released those photos? Now, they were turning the tables and pretending to be the good guys!Charlene was so furio

"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
