All Chapters of Resent, Reject, Regret: Chapter 271 - Chapter 280

Deirdre stood frozen in the same spot, her eyes wide in astoundment as she listened to the sound of someone sobbing with her face covered. She felt as if her ears were playing a trick on her and she was in so much pain that she could not speak. The voice that she could recognize anywhere… The voice that had kept her company all this time and called out her name was actually saying to another girl now… ‘You’re my dearest child?’ “Really? I thought you'd abandoned me. Why did you not respond to me when I’ve been attempting to contact you all this time? Besides, that blind woman in the room is addressing you as ‘mother’. You’re only 40 years old. How did you end up with such a grown daughter, and how do I end up having an elder sister?”“Uh…” Maeve sounded hesitant. Siobhan was growing very impatient. She stamped her foot in anger as she looked at the door. “What the heck is going on! Tell me, quick. If you don’t give me a proper explanation, I will disown you as my mother from now

Maeve lowered her head to check the time and furrowed her eyebrows. “It’s after nine…”“You’re going to leave at ten, right?”It would certainly be impossible for Maeve to claim that she was willing to part with Deirdre. She was very fond of Deirdre yet she was still not Deirdre’s real mother, and her own daughter was still waiting for her. “Hmm,” Maeve said smilingly, feigning a relaxed demeanor. “But it’s a good thing that I’m going to receive treatment. That way, I won’t forget your childhood stories next time.”Deirdre cracked a smile and delayed giving a response. Then, she shut her eyes and said, “Mother, will you… please call me by my name again?”Maeve appeared to be slightly hesitant. “Deirdre?”A tear rolled down from the corner of Deirdre’s eye. “Thank you.”Maeve stretched out her hand to wipe away Deirdre’s tears. In the end, Maeve left. Deirdre did not see her off because she did not have the ability to be there. She assumed that it was only a simple farewel

Deirdre burst out laughing while she was crying. “Brendan, you enjoy regarding me as a fool, right? I believe that you are delighted in your heart that I was deceived by your lowly lie and kept going in circles, right?“Yesterday evening…” Deirdre felt intense pain in her throat. “You told me that I still have you. Were you mocking me at the time? On the other hand, I believed you like a fool!”“No!” Brendan’s face turned ghastly from the pain. He objected so strongly that blood was flowing out of his wound once again. He felt the warm flow of endless blood on his palm. He was scared but he was not afraid that he would bleed to death. He was scared that Deirdre would suffer an emotional breakdown. “The words that I said… I meant them sincerely… Deirdre, I’m sorry…”He had nothing else left to say at that very moment but sorry. It was because he could not do anything to resurrect a dead person. Blood was gushing out of his abdomen wildly. The pain stripped away his strength b

Sam felt his heart racing as soon as he heard the remark. He said with a flattering smile, “What do you mean premeditated murder? Is there some sort of misunderstanding?”The police officer said with a frown, “Do you think that there is a misunderstanding when the stench of blood is so strong here? Can you stop the people outside from talking about this situation? I’m warning you not to interfere with the prosecution of this crime. Deidre is a criminal suspect, and we are taking her to the police station for an interrogation today!”Upon saying that, the man scanned the woman sitting on the floor and noticed that her disfigured face matched the police report completely. He did not comment further. He only said, “Deirdre, you’re coming with us!”The others were stunned. Sam hastily stepped forward and said, “This is a misunderstanding, sir! This must be a misunderstanding. Someone was injured here indeed, but it was definitely not a crime as serious as premeditated murder! The inju

“I’m sorry.” Brendan propped his forehead and said, “I was only trying to find out how Deirdre is currently. After all, it was my fault her mother died.”“How was it your fault?” Charleen bit her lower lip tightly. “She was the one who committed suicide. Were you going to assign someone to watch over her all day long? On the other hand, Ms. McKinnon is too insensible. You treated her mother so well and you even made an exception to bury her…”“That was nothing.” Brendan interrupted her, his eyebrows furrowed even tighter. “Had I not made her your scapegoat, Ophelia wouldn’t have died.”“So do you regret what you did?” Deirdre was incredulous, and her lips were trembling. Brendan was so agitated in his heart that he could not be bothered to explain himself. Meanwhile, Sam suddenly entered the room in a rush, and his dejected eyes lit up abruptly when he saw Brendan. “You’re finally awake, Mr. Brighthall!”“What happened?” Brendan felt uneasy. “The police came and took Ms. McKinn
