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

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

“It is because my father’s identity is not important to me. He’s just a stranger bound by the ties of kin to me. Moreover, my mother is back now, so I can totally get the answer I need from her. As such, I turned her down.”Deirdre’s gaze was solemn, and her eyebrows were tightly furrowed. It was as if she was in a very bad mood when she thought about her father. Soon afterward, she lowered her head and made up her mind. “However, I figure that those people are not only targeting you. They may be targeting me as well. I need to figure out my father’s identity to prevent my mother’s incident from happening again.”Brendan pondered for a moment and held her hand to assure her. “Do anything that you want to do and leave everything else to me.”Deirdre held his hand back. At present, they were no longer bound by complicated relationship matters. They were cooperative partners.Deirdre immediately set out to prepare for this matter, and her first priority was to get some answers fro

“Do not let anyone take it away?” Deirdre was confused. “Who’s taking it away?”“Those captors of mine, of course.” Ophelia spoke in a calm and composed manner, “Think about this. Those people captured me and then freed me. It signifies that I’m not their target, but it’s either you or Brendan. If that really is the case, isn’t your child a thorn in their flesh?”Deirdre came to understand the situation. “Mother, I also came to see you today because of this matter.”She became serious, and Ophelia had no choice but to become serious as well. “What’s going on?”Deirdre was conflicted but said, “Do… Do you still remember my father?”In the next moment, Ophelia’s face turned ghastly pale, but Deirdre could not see it. She kept quiet for a while before she said, “Your father?”“Hmm!” Deirdre explained, “Don’t worry, mother. I’m not planning to look for him after so many years, but the female accomplice working with those people told me that those people knew my father. Hence, I’m w

Brendan furrowed his eyebrows deeply. “So, you’re saying that your mother wasn’t reacting in this manner because the memory was triggering to her?”“Yes!” Deirdre inhaled a deep breath. “If she really did resist the memory, she would have reacted in this manner a long time ago. Hence, I suspect that those people wanted something from my mother, so she kept her memory hidden deep subconsciously. In the end, she would react so intensely even when she thought about it.”At the thought of Ophelia's hardships there, Deirdre’s eyes were filled with guilt and remorse.In an instant, Brendan held her hand to comfort her.“I’m fine.” Deirdre calmed down. Brendan said, “If that is the case, don’t bring this up to her anymore. She is innocent in this matter and is involved unwillingly. Let her live her life in peace now that she is back.”“Hmm… However, since those people hurt my mother so terribly, they won’t let me off so easily. Hence, I can’t just do nothing while I await my doom…”De

“Hmm, thank you for taking the trouble to do that.”Deirdre’s mind was filled with thoughts about this matter. She woke up and got dressed before the sun came up the next morning. Mrs. Engel was busy working in the kitchen. She came outside upon hearing the commotion and said, “Why are you up so early today, Mrs. Brighthall?”“I have to go out to do something.”Mrs. Engel expressed her enlightenment. “No wonder Shea is here very early today.”“She’s here?”“Yes. However, it’s possible that she got bored in the mansion, so she went out for a run. She said that she would be back in an hour. Let me check the time… She should be back when you’re done with breakfast, Mrs. Brighthall.”Deirdre nodded and had her breakfast with ease. Shea was back, just as expected. “You’re here just at the right time. Have some breakfast because you might not get to eat later,” said Deirdre with a smile. Shea hesitated for a moment before joining Deirdre at the table. After breakfast, Shea drov

“Are you trying to strike a deal with me? Sure, but I don’t like to have someone else in my space. Tell her to get out of here!”Shea said without even considering, “That would be impossible.”She looked at Charlene coldly. There was no telling what Charlene would not do since she was behaving like a madwoman. “Impossible?” Charlene raised her chin in a carefree manner. “Both of you can leave then. It’s impossible for me to strike a deal with you as well. I will never let anyone know about what you wish to learn from me!”Deirdre furrowed her eyebrows and patted Shea a moment later. “You should go outside.”“Miss McKinnon…” Shea shook her head and said softly, “I can’t leave. I promised Mr. Brighthall that I would protect you. I won’t be able to come back in time if something happens when I’m outside.”“It’s fine. Look at her leg.”Charlene had lost a leg, and her other leg was all skin and bones. She could never lay a hand on Deirdre unless it was what Deirdre wanted. “She l

Charlene kept her head lowered and breathed heavily as if she was conflicted. Deirdre said, “Since you wish to close the deal with me, I’ll transfer you out of the country in less than two weeks after you give me the information.”“Are you sure?” Charlene clenched her fists tightly. Deirdre said instead of answering, “You can only choose to believe me.”“Sure…” Charlene stared at her maliciously. “You have to swear that you won’t deceive me, Deirdre. Otherwise, I’ll curse the child in your womb to a tragic death!”Deirdre furrowed her eyebrows. “Sure.”Charlene lowered her head and spoke slowly. “They made your father’s identity very clear, but I didn’t manage to find out about this person. I don’t know if it’s an alias, but I know that he visited Southedge previously.”“Southedge?” Deirdre was stunned for a moment because she had never heard of it. “What place is that? Why haven’t I heard of it before? You made that up, right?”Charlene sneered. “You’ll find out if I made th

"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.

"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

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
