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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"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.

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
