Chapter 1071 Emily Was Not Innocent

Deirdre frowned. She hadn’t expected Emily to have the audacity to resist and boldly claim that she was innocent.The toast from that day and the test report were undoubtedly genuine.And Emily had no idea about today’s plan.Perhaps this was another act of pitifulness, an attempt to delay this on her part?Deirdre didn’t care and just waited for the test results.While she waited, Emily’s eyes were red, as if she had suffered a great injustice and was barely containing her emotions. When noises were heard coming from outside, Shea, who sounded even more excited, said, “Ms. McKinnon, the report has arrived!”Shea reached out to take the report and handed it over to Brendan.Emily also took a step forward unconsciously, but Brendan cast her a warning gaze before he untied the rope and pulled out the test report.Just one glance and Brendan’s cold face showed a hint of surprise.Deirdre was stunned. Brendan’s long silence had made her sense that something was not right. “Bre

Chapter 1072 Fallen Into The Trap

“What?!”Shea was so surprised that even her usually expressionless face looked strange.Deirdre was also shocked beyond belief. “Mom, are you sure? You are the one who asked Ms. Collins to sprinkle the powder? Why?”Ophelia blinked, looking puzzled. “Because I thought you’d been eating less vegetables lately, of course. That’s why I wanted you to get extra vitamin C. I’m very busy every day and I have to go to the market to buy fresh supplies before 7:30 in the morning. I was worried that your breakfast would be cold by the time you came down, so I asked Ms. Collins to heat your breakfast and sprinkle the vitamin powder on it.”Deirdre’s face changed.Emily rubbed her teary eyes and said helplessly, “Ms. McKinnon, as your attending physician and the heir of Collins Pharmaceuticals, I have my own professional moral compass… I find it hard to believe that I would encounter such a thing in my life…”As she spoke, she began to sniffle as if she had suffered a great injustice. But in

Chapter 1073 Shea Was in Trouble

“She was already acting when she started provoking me that day.”Shea was deeply shocked, and her face turned pale.She had thought that, by using today’s incident, she would be able to deal with Emily for good, but instead, she had fallen for Emily’s trick.“I’m sorry, Ms. McKinnon. It's my carelessness that made me fall into her trap. If I had been more careful, I might have noticed that something was wrong with Emily earlier.""It's not your fault." Deirdre stood up from her seat. "I fell for it too, didn't I?"Shea’s eyes dimmed, and she remembered something else. “And what about Mr. Brighthall…”“I’ll go explain it to him.”Deirdre wouldn’t let Emily succeed. She would turn the tables.She made some coffee and walked to the study’s door by herself.However, before she could knock, the door opened.“You’re going out?” Deirdre asked.“Yes, I have to go out,” Brendan replied. He was wearing a suit, and his expression was cold. However, his expression changed when he saw th

Chapter 1074 Is Shea With You?

“I’m in the organization. What’s wrong?” Sam replied, sounding confused.Deirdre took a deep breath and said urgently over the phone, “Quick, come pick me up, now!”Sam was surprised by the urgency in her tone but didn't question her. He immediately hung up and rushed over to pick her up. After the call ended, Deirdre began frantically calling Brendan.She called him once, then called him again.At first, the call didn’t go through, but after a while, someone finally picked up.“Brendan!”Hearing the urgency in Deirdre’s voice, Brendan softened his tone unconsciously when he replied, "I'll be back in an hour."“Where are you now?” Deirdre asked, suppressing her emotions.Brendan glanced around before answering, “I’m at a restaurant discussing a potential cooperation.”If he was at a restaurant discussing a potential cooperation, why had he taken Shea away? Deirdre had a hunch that Brendan was lying and decided to probe further. "Which restaurant? Let me come pick you up,"

Chapter 1075 The Suspect

Night City wasn’t too far away. If they drove fast, they should be able to get there in 10 minutes.“Shea, you have to hold on,” Deirdre whispered to herself.On the way, Deirdre told Sam what had happened, and he was very surprised.“Even if there was a problem with the test report, Shea must have at most made a mistake. According to reason, a penalty would suffice. Why did he take Shea away without saying a word?”“I was wondering about that as well. Something more serious must have happened,” Deirdre replied, gripping her seatbelt tightly.Then, they didn’t say anything else.Sam stepped on the pedal and managed to park the car in eight minutes.Deirdre unfastened her seatbelt and hurriedly got out of the car with Sam, heading into Night City.Deirdre pushed open the door to the private room in a hurry, only to be stunned by the eerie silence inside.The lights were bright, and a group of people were standing there, but no one said a word. Brendan was sitting on the sofa, a

Chapter 1076 The Bread Was Tampered With

“Shut up!" Deirdre didn't want to put on a show for Emily anymore. "What does my business with Brendan have to do with you, an outsider?"Emily’s face turned pale. She looked over at Brendan, who remained unresponsive. Hence, she could only swallow her displeasure.After all, Deirdre wouldn’t be smug for long."I just wanted to warn you, but if you don’t like it, then I won't say anything else," Emily said. Brendan's gaze remained fixed on Deirdre's face, and after a moment, he asked, "Do you really want to know?"“Really.”“Okay, but don’t you dare cover up for Shea regarding the result." Deirdre's face turned slightly pale. She was wondering what Brendan meant and what Shea had done?“If Shea did something wrong, I certainly won’t cover up for her. But the point is, what exactly did she do wrong?” Deirdre frowned.“Do you remember the report you gave me?” Brendan asked. Deirdre nodded. That was the report Shea had tested, which listed the ingredients used by Emily to d

Chapter 1077 Impeccable Evidence

“Ms. McKinnon… In the video, the bread given by Shea was indeed intact,” Sam replied.Deirdre gasped.She began to wonder whether she had been deceived and whether Shea was one of the bad guys.No, Emily was definitely not innocent. This entire series of events had been completely orchestrated by her. How could Shea have followed Emily's instructions?Unless the two of them were in cahoots… However, if Shea and Emily were in cahoots, they could have done much more to benefit themselves. They could have sacrificed Shea to elevate Emily’s position in Brendan's heart, although no normal person would make such a trade.“Sam, can you tell me about all the angles of the bread in that video?" Deirdre asked."At the beginning of the video, Shea was holding the bread when she showed up in the lobby. However, at the time, the shape of the bread couldn't be seen clearly. It was only after the bread was handed over to the staff that it was confirmed to be intact," Sam explained.“So, the

Chapter 1078 Threatening Brendan

Brendan squinted his eyes. "The reason is simple. She slandered Emily, and your eyes will never recover."Tears welled up in Shea's eyes. “No, Mr. Brighthall, I didn’t do it!”“You didn’t? Then how do you explain this?” Brendan gave her a warning look.Shea was speechless. She didn’t even know what had happened. The bread she had taken was the one that had been bitten and she hadn’t let anyone touch it. How could this be?Her silence made Brendan think that she was unable to refute.Deirdre cursed in her heart.“Brendan, I know clearly what kind of person Shea is. She would never do anything to harm me! I can vouch for her myself. This is all just a misunderstanding!”“Vouch for her?” Emily sighed helplessly. “Ms. McKinnon, you can be kind, but don’t be too kind. She’s been trying to harm you after all! Have you ever wondered why Shea had the same ingredients that were found on the tested bread? Obviously, she had it in her possession. If you believe her, and if something happen

Chapter 1079 Stop Being Unreasonable

As expected, Brendan’s face turned cold, and his deep black eyes were inscrutable. At that moment, Emily quietly walked up to Shea, leaned in close to her ear, and whispered “Do you want this situation to continue? Look at the vibe between Brendan and Deirdre. The love they had for each other has gradually turned into conflict, and you are the reason for all of this.”Shea was stunned and began to feel an intense sense of guilt."Given Brendan's personality, even if he really promised Deirdre to let you go, he would still feel a knot in his heart. After all, he would have been forced to do this by Deirdre for your sake," Emily added.After Emily finished speaking, she rose to her feet. Sam glanced over and saw Emily by Shea’s side. Shea had lowered her head and lost all her spirit.“Shea…” Sam sensed that something was wrong.Meanwhile, the confrontation between Deirdre and Brendan continued.“So you’re forcing me not to pursue this matter, right?” Brendan’s palm on the sofa ti

Chapter 1080 You Were The Culprit

“Brendan!”Brendan ignored Deirdre’s glares and demanded, “Sam, escort Ms. McKinnon home.”“Yes.”Sam dared not say much and just urged her, “Ms. McKinnon, let’s go.”Deirdre was emotionally distraught, but Sam's request forced her to move her feet and leave the private room. Even outside, her emotions remained in turmoil and she could not calm down. She had thought that if she caught up with everything, she would be able to help Shea in some way. But she had ended up only making things worse for her by forcing her to admit to a crime she hadn't committed.Deirdre hugged her arms, feeling useless.“Ms. McKinnon.” Sam hesitated for a long time before he chose to speak up. “There’s something I think you need to know.”“What is it?”“Before Shea confessed, I saw Emily next to her.”“What? Where was Emily in the beginning?” “She was sitting on the sofa, only two meters away from Shea. But while you and Mr. Brighthall were talking, Emily suddenly moved closer to Shea and her
