Regardless of how painful the kick was, Steven remained silent and kneeled on the ground. Brendan showed him the medical report on his phone with an intimidating, apathetic expression. “Look at this. Explain yourself.”This was expected, so Steven had long prepared an explanation. He stooped low as he said, “I’m sorry, sir. I wanted to tell you at the time, but I know you very well. If you had found out that Ms. McKinnon lost her sight in jail, you would have definitely done whatever you could to take her out of jail. However, because we were under the watchful eye of the public, your actions would have certainly led to an unintended negative impact on the Brighthall Group. Therefore, I couldn’t say it. I took the liberty not to tell you immediately. I am sorry!”“You took a liberty indeed.” Brendan laughed instead when he got to the point of extreme anger. He looked down at Steven with his ice-cold gaze. “It seems that I’ve been too kind to you, so much so that you can’t tell who’s

“Don’t be crazy. Her body is so weak now that I can only set my mind at ease by taking her with me!” Sterling spoke through clenched teeth and took a glance at Charlene. “You have a real fiancee, Charlene, anyhow, right? You should have had your fill now that you’ve ruined her in so many ways!”Brendan’s gaze turned ice-cold abruptly when he heard that remark. “Who are you taking with you? Deirdre is mine. She’s mine for life, and she will be buried in my family’s burial site when she dies. Sterling, don’t even think about showing off just because you saved her!”Upon saying that, Brendan cast a look at his bodyguard before he turned around to head to the intensive care unit, where Deirdre was kept. “Brend…” Charlene turned her wheelchair behind him. She had heard every part of the conversation. Her face was slightly pale, and she said in a piteous tone, “Since Ms. McKinnon’s condition has already been stabilized, will you take me home? The people who brought me here have already l

Brendan clenched his fists tightly and ran over to grab Sterling before punching his face ferociously. He was in an uncontrollable rage. “Sterling, are you trying to get yourself f*cking killed?! Did you think that you had a free pass for life just because I said that I’d let you off? Who let you in!”Sterling’s face stung from the punch yet he did not care about anything else. He shoved away Brendan abruptly and said, “Stop getting in the way!”It was an emergency, so he couldn't care less about quarreling with Brendan, yet Brendan was especially furious. “Stop getting in the way? Who are you asking to make way, huh? Who do you think you are? You would have already died a hundred times had Deirdre not threatened me with her life! Who do you think you are to throw a tantrum in my presence!”As he was speaking, the jacket of his suit was tugged by the woman on the bed. Brendan became even more infuriated. “Deirdre, are you trying to get yourself killed as well? Did I save you just so

“You’ll have time.” Deirdre nodded. “However, I don’t have time to spend on you anymore.”She clenched her fists tightly. She felt her heart bleed with every word she said, yet there was nothing she could do. She had to sever her ties with Sterling completely in front of Brendan. Otherwise, this matter would never come to an end. “Plus, Brendan treats me well. I believe that this incident was just an accident and it won’t happen again in the future. I will be with him until he’s bored of me. You should leave.”“Dee! Why are you saying this against your will!”Brendan was very displeased. He grabbed Sterling by the collar. “What do you mean by 'against your will’?”He declared in a slightly arrogant tone, “Deirdre has loved me to the core from the start. She would walk in the rain for 20 kilometers just to see me in the past. You’re only the man that she latched on to when she couldn’t see. Don’t think too highly of yourself!”Upon saying that, he summoned Sam. “Please escort M

“How did that happen?” Charlene kept her eyes lowered, a tinge of anger flashing past them. ‘That damned Sterling actually ruined my plan.’ Brendan stared closely at Charlene’s face and said, “The most crucial part is that I assigned Sam to take care of Deirdre initially, yet he was suddenly distracted by someone. On the other hand, the distraction method involved a text message sent to Sam via my phone. My phone was in the office at the time, and you are the only person who was here.”“Brendan, you… What are you trying to imply?” Charlene’s face turned ghastly pale instantly. “Are you implying that I put Ms. McKinnon in harm’s way?”Brendan’s fists tightened, but there was no excessive change in his expression. He continued staring at Charlene closely. “I only need to give an answer to Deirdre. She lost her sight in jail, so there would be nothing left of her if she were to lose her voice too.”“So you’re suspecting that I did it?” Charlene’s eyes reddened with tears. “Yes, I did
