Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 978 The Wharf
As Deirdre got into the car, the heater was blasting warmth, making the ride a cozy one.Just as Brendan was about to drive off, his phone started to ring.He pressed the speaker button and heard Sam’s voice on the other end. “Mr. Brighthall, we just received word that the exchange is happening today. They’re afraid the weather will get worse tomorrow and the sea may be unsafe.”It sounded like an excuse, but Brendan didn’t pay it much attention.In fact, it was a good thing for him to be able to do the exchange earlier. Hence, Brendan replied that he would head over immediately and hung up the phone.“What’s going on?” asked Deirdre.“Your mother is coming from the sea today. But because the wharf is a windy place, especially on such a cold day, I’ll take you back first. After securing your mother, I’ll send her immediately back to the mansion.”Deirdre was surprised yet happy. She put her hand on Brendan’s arm but couldn’t hide her trembling.“No, I don’t want to… I can’t sta
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 979 Saving Ophelia
Brendan patiently waited. The window of the building was tightly sealed, making it nearly impossible to shoot accurately, especially in the foggy weather.Besides, with so many targets at the wharf, the opponent would have to be reckless to attempt to shoot with the risk of Connor being killed.After contemplating his next move, Brendan didn’t mind following the opponent’s lead, but he was also waiting for Sam to make his way through.Suddenly, someone exclaimed, “Mr. Brighthall! Is that a boat?”Brendan looked toward the pointed direction with the binoculars and saw a ferry slowly making its way out of the fog. A woman stood at the bow, and as Brendan focused, he recognized her face. It was Ophelia.He scanned the area around the ferry and saw only two people smoking while talking to each other. They didn’t look like they were with the opponent.Just then, Deirdre couldn’t wait any longer and rolled down the car window. “Brendan, how’s the situation? Has my mother arrived?”Exc
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 980 Jump Into the Sea
But now, Brendan was completely frozen and powerless, with his lips turning blue. He could only float with buoyancy.At the same time, Deirdre had already gotten out of the car.When she saw Brendan jump into the water, she knew that something must have happened to Ophelia. However, because there was no one on the shore, she couldn’t find anyone to help.Deirdre thought Brendan might not endure the cold on such a cold day.The thought of what could happen made her shiver with fear.“Brendan! Brendan! Come back quickly!” Deirdre screamed, but there was no response. She tried to turn around and look for anyone nearby.However, the wharf had already been closed, and there were neither workers nor people around.Suddenly, a man climbed up from the shore.“Brendan! Is that you?”“Mr. Brighthall?” The man, who was a member of the organization, was freezing, and his lips had turned purple. When he heard Deirdre, he immediately searched around. “Where is Mr. Brighthall!?”Deirdre f

“Hold me, sir! I came in a boat. You just have to swim forward!”The man turned around and saw that Deirdre was still far away. He roared, “Miss McKinnon! Here!”Deirdre rowed the boat with the paddle upon hearing the voice. The man supported the unconscious Ophelia to reduce Brendan’s burden.The man waited for the boat to come nearer before he crawled into it. Then, he pulled up Ophelia and Brendan with his teeth clenched.Brendan was already exhausted, yet his first response was to perform CPR on Ophelia to help her to spit out the water she choked on.The weather was awful. The people on the boat were trembling, and their teeth were chattering in the cold. Brendan removed his coat to cover Ophelia’s body. When everything ended, he looked toward Deirdre and found her eyes wide open and bloodshot. She was so anxious that she did not dare to breathe loudly. “Why did you come? Aren’t you cold?” Brendan slumped against Deirdre’s body and said, “Good thing you came.”Deirdre
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 982 Good Days Are Coming
Sam had been tricked as well. He had taken his people to search the building opposite, assuming that someone was hiding and watching them from that building. Unfortunately, the second floor had been empty when he searched the place. Let alone a suspect, he could not even find a waiter there.In other words, it was a case of diversion. Had Deirdre not been there, Brendan would have died in the sea. “The ship…” Deirdre suddenly spoke. “Not only did someone shove my mother into the sea, but the ship also stopped there on purpose. It is obvious that they could have saved my mother first.”“Right!” Sam gave the order, “Dominic, investigate this quickly. No one is allowed to escape from the ship.”The man named Dominic nodded and left. Sam took a glance at Deirdre and found that her face was already ghastly pale after being in the cold wind for quite some time without any shelter, especially when she was on the sea.“Miss McKinnon, I’ll stay here. You should get some rest. It’s too
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 983 Their Faces
Ophelia was the woman who worked arduously every day just so she could afford to send Deirdre to school.It was a waste that the unforeseen event happened before she could have the time to enjoy her golden years. Deirdre’s eyes welled with tears, and she placed the woman’s palm on her forehead. In the next moment, the palm moved once. “Mother!” Deirdre was overjoyed. “Are you awake?”Ophelia opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling for a while. Soon afterward, her gaze landed on Deirdre’s face and became focused gradually. “Deirdre?”Her voice was tainted with excitement and eagerness. “Deirdre? Is that you?”“It’s me! Mother!”Deirdre spread her arms and hugged her mother. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a long time. When they recovered from the emotional moment, Deirdre rubbed her eyes and took a seat. She had way too many things to tell her mother and too many questions that needed to be answered. “Where have you been over the years, mother? W
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 984 True Goal
At the same time, Brendan was regaining consciousness as well. He had always been a healthy man. Even though he had endured extreme cold from the incident, he could still open his eyes and sit upright while coughing. “Sir!” Sam was on the phone when he noticed Brendan and hastily hung up the call. He served a glass of warm water to Brendan. Brendan took a sip while subconsciously glancing around the room with his dark eyes. Sam noticed the situation and explained, “The caretaker can’t get here in time, so Miss McKinnon is taking care of Madame McKinnon.”“Hmm.” Brendan finished the glass of water. He knew that this would happen but was still slightly hopeful in his heart.Now that he thought about it, he realized that he was nothing compared to Ophelia. “What happened to the restaurant that I assigned you to check out?”Sam narrated the sequence of events that happened to him truthfully to Brendan. Brendan furrowed his eyebrows. “It was a diversion?”“I think so. They s
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 985 Father’s Identity
Brendan understood what she meant and cracked a grin of understanding with his pale lips. “I understand,” he said nonchalantly and hid his smile, yet he made Deirdre blush. She could only change the topic of conversation.“Don’t you find today’s incident very strange? Sam was diverted by someone while the remaining people went chasing after Connor. When you were left alone in the end, my mother was shoved from the ship by someone. It felt as if everything was prepared for you.”“I know,” Brendan said in a hoarse voice, letting out a few coughs. He furrowed his eyebrows as he pondered and said, “I believe that they wanted me to drown in the sea. After all, I would have already been physically exhausted to swim my way there, let alone return with Ophelia. Everyone would assume that this was only an unforeseen accident. However, they planned for everything except you being in the car.”“Yes.”Deirdre thought about this as well. They had planned for Brendan’s reluctance to let Op
