Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 47 I Want to See Brendan Brighthall!
Deirdre was on the verge of breaking down. She shoved the doctor away, but being blind, she tripped over the table leg and fell forward. Her bandage turned a deep shade of red. The doctor hurried toward her, alarmed, but Deirdre scrambled to her feet and hurtled again, her pain forgotten.The bodyguard quickly realized something was amiss. Yanking her by the arm, he cried, “What now?!”Deirdre shrieked, “Let me go! Let me go right now! I want to go out!”“No way!” came the thundering reply. The bodyguard did not even frown, nor did he see the need to be gentler. “Mr. Brighthall has explicitly forbidden you to step outside the house!”His force against Deirdre caused the wound on her neck to tear open again. Blood was pouring out again.The doctor panicked. “Pin her down and don’t let her move any more! If this keeps up, she’s gonna have to return to the operating table!”The bodyguards were immediately mobilized. One yanked her by the hair and pressed her against the table, pin
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 48 It’s All Your Fault
Brendan had an abrupt heartache. He couldn’t understand why Deirdre would harm herself.He then strode toward Deirdre, held her wrist, and demanded, “Come with me to get something to eat!”Smelling the familiar scent only made Deirdre feel disgusted. “Don’t touch me!”Biting her lip, Deirdre struggled to withdraw her hand. However, because she was starving, she was feeble. Without much effort, Brendan pulled Deirdre into his embrace, grabbed her chin, and snapped her head up. “What the hell are you doing? Do you think you can do as you please because you managed to threaten me the other day?”Deirdre felt a sharp pain in her chin. Eyes red, she lifted her head and said, “You promised you wouldn’t disturb Sterry! You made a promise! So why has he turned out to be so miserable?”Brendan was startled for a moment before bellowing angrily, “So you starved yourself to get me here just for this f*cking reason?”Deirdre was hurt and disappointed. Emotions couldn’t be shared between two
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 49 She Absolutely Won’t Die
Brendan frowned. “I’ll get you a bowl of porridge.”Brendan immediately went out, dashed down the staircase, filled a bowl of porridge, and went back up. As he pushed open the door, he didn’t see Deirdre on her bed. Brendan saw Deirdre only when he shifted his glance to the balcony. He didn’t know how Deirdre had made it to the window of the balcony, but he was shocked to see that she had opened the floor-to-ceiling window, which was completely unshielded. “Deirdre! What are you doing?! Come over!”The wind was blowing in Deirdre’s ears, and she had a vacant look on her face. She no longer felt any pain. She only wanted to free herself as soon as possible.“Brendan, don’t you force Sterry again. He’s one of the few who’s treated me well. Wanting to be your wife and make you love me was wishful thinking on my part, but it turns out that you’re disgusted. I’m sorry,” said Deirdre apologetically. She then closed her eyes with determination. “So I’m giving you my life.”“Deirdre!”
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 50 I Am Her Husband
Charlene was still in a wheelchair. Her eyes reddened as she felt the injustice of it all. “Brendan, you want me to donate my blood to Ms. McKinnon? You should know that I haven’t recovered yet…”“When she was pregnant, she still donated her blood to you, didn’t she?” Brendan stopped Charlene from objecting. “She must not die! I’ll tell the nurse to be careful when taking your blood so she doesn’t hurt you.”Brendan’s remark was akin to him telling Charlene that she couldn’t refuse.Charlene looked gloomy and scratched the leather cover on the wheelchair with her fingernails so hard that she almost tore it. She forced a smile and said, “Well, the life of Ms. McKinnon is a human life after all. As long as she can survive, it doesn't matter if I die, let alone donate my blood.”As soon as she finished her sentence, the nurse appeared in a hurry again. “Is the blood donor here? And who's the patient’s next of kin? I need a signature for the emergency medical consent form!”“I am!” Br
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 51 She Was Jailed on Your Behalf
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
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 52 A Slim Chance of Survival
Brendan was willing to be a pillar for Deirdre to rely on. He wished for Deirdre to live a worry-free life until her last breath. But it seemed that Brendan’s wish would never be realized, as Deirdre was about to disappear from the world. It made him feel so much pain that he couldn’t breathe.The doctor could understand Brendan’s feelings as he said, “We’re helpless too. Her lungs are punctured, and the injury she’s suffered is truly severe. What’s more, the patient doesn’t have any desire to live. Unless…”Brendan’s eyes lit up when he heard that there was a slim chance to save Deirdre. “Unless what?”“Unless renowned academic doctor Dr. Killton is willing to step out. Unfortunately, he’s not in Neve currently, and even if he was, he has already stopped performing surgery.”It wasn’t a helpful answer. Brendan tightened his fists and asked coldly, “What about Dr. Killton’s last student?”“His last student?” The doctor was startled but quickly recollected himself and replied, “I
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 53 Are You Comparing Charlene to Yourself?
“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
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 54 They’re Kissing
Deirdre stopped speaking and shut her eyes. Realizing that he was being too harsh, Brendan explained by saying, “There’s no point in comparing yourself to her.”Deirdre remained as quiet as before. Brendan stared at her dry, cracked lips and got up to fetch her a glass of water. “Don’t go to sleep yet. Drink the water before you rest.”Deirdre turned her face to the side. “I want to rest.”“Rest after drinking the water.” Brendan pushed the glass of water toward her by force. Deirdre refused to drink, and while she was struggling, the glass was knocked over and dropped to the ground, producing a loud noise. Brendan was completely infuriated. “Deirdre, why are you doing this? I ignored your suicide attempt without making any comments. In the past, I would have never let you off! You’re still ungrateful, even after all that. Are you only going to behave yourself when I force the drink down your throat!”The collar of her top was wet, and Deirdre’s lips were trembling. She was in

"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.

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

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.-

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

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

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

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

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

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
