That was the end of this topic. Brendan asked, "What happened at Eastgene? Deirdre told me that you have something to ask me."Declan told everything that had happened at Eastgene. In the end, he pleaded, “You’ll have to help me. That mother and daughter have always regarded me as a thorn in their flesh. They are afraid that I’ll inherit the King family's inheritance, and they will definitely do something about it. Brendan, I can’t lose that inheritance.”Declan would always speak calmly, tactfully, and professionally, but at that moment, his tone was icy, proving his determination.“Don’t worry; I’ll definitely help you.”When he heard Brendan’s promise, Declan was relieved. “I’ll get a little bit more sleep. I haven’t got enough rest after chatting the whole day.”“Sure.”Upon ending the call, Brendan didn’t look as relaxed as his tone was.He was prepared to divorce Deirdre, but if he were to divorce Deirdre now, it would be a waste of time for Declan.After some thought, he

Deirdre’s chest was heaving. She had to take a few deep breaths to calm herself down. Her fingertips were still trembling, but as she recalled the exhaustion and helplessness in Declan’s voice, she could only nod her head.She believed that Kyran would do the same to help Declan.“Okay, now come with me to get two flight tickets to Eastgene.”When Brendan turned to open the door, Deirdre stopped him. “Hold on.”Clenching her fists, she said, “I've got a condition too.”Under Brendan’s cold gaze, she continued. “The condition is the same as the requirement for the date.”“Not to touch you?”Deirdre didn’t expect Brendan could be so direct, and her face turned white.Following that, she heard Brendan sneering. “We went up to that point yesterday, yet I didn't even touch you. What’s more, in the future. You can rest assured you are not attractive to me at all.”Deirdre blushed and lowered her eyes as she said, “I hope that you’ll do as you promise.”Deirdre didn’t hear anything

But now, she no longer was that petty and low Deirdre who couldn’t survive without Brendan.She now had Kyran and a new home.And the past should be left behind.When Brendan gradually fell asleep, Deidre still didn’t feel sleepy. Clasping her phone, she got up and found a convenient place to make a call.Carefully, she dialed Kyran’s phone number and put the phone near her ear. But nobody picked up the call.She called twice before putting it back into her pocket with surprise.Kyran barely did this. Usually, he would answer her call almost immediately. Hence, he gave Deirdre the wrong feeling that he would be there for her whenever she needed him.When she thought further, Kyran might have already gone to rest since it was now midnight in Germia.Following the same path, Deirdre returned to her seat and saw a blurred figure standing there. When she was nearer, the flight attendant greeted her. “Hello, miss. Someone might be looking for him because his phone had been ringing.”

“These are…”“Oh!” Fionn explained with a smile, “I’m sorry that I forgot to introduce them. They are stylists, and they are here to do styling for you.”Deirdre was startled and asked in confusion, “For me?”Before Fionn could answer, Brendan came out of the bathroom while wiping his hands and said, "I forgot to tell you in advance that you will be my partner at the Kings’ party."“What!?” Deirdre was in disbelief.Brendan looked at her. “Yes, is there a problem?”It was not just a problem, but a big one.Deirdre turned pale and said, “I can’t see.”“I know.” While Brendan paced forward to check through the dress, he smirked. “I am well aware, even without you reminding me.”Clenching her fist, Deirdre asked, “I’ll definitely bring you only trouble at the party. Why do you still ask me to be your partner?”She didn't understand. Even when she was asking, her mind was blank.The Kings’ party was not a simple dinner but a social gathering of the upper class. It was a party wh

This dress could be said to have wrapped Deirdre’s entire body.The stylist wanted to say that making Deirdre look good at the party would not be easy, and her good figure couldn’t be seen.However, she could only let Deirdre try it because Brendan insisted.It turned out that Deirdre looked perfect in the dress.Deirdre's exquisite figure was tightly wrapped in black cloth, making her appear hot and charming. She looked outstandingly attractive with her fair skin, beautiful and glamorous facial features, fiery red lips, and faintly visible long legs at the split end were even more eye-catching.The stylist thought Brendan was a busybody, but when she saw the result, she couldn’t help but compliment the choice. “Mr. Brighthall, your fashion sense is so great. Though the pattern of the sheath evening gown is simple, the effect of Ms. McKinnon wearing it is a lot better!”However, Brendan was frowning heavily.The stylist hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mr. Brighthall, are you

While taking pictures, the reporters couldn’t help but ask, “Who’s that woman beside Mr. Brighthall? Why have I never seen her before?”“Is she Charli McKinsey?”“I’ve seen her before, but she isn’t that beautiful. She doesn’t have such a good temperament either. It can’t be her.”“She is his new love, right? But this time, her appearance is amazing, a lot more gorgeous when compared to celebrities. No wonder she caught Mr. Brighthall’s attention. He's notoriously picky, after all."Under the discussion of the crowd, they quickly walked into the venue.Deirdre’s heart was pounding so fast that even her fingertips were hot.In the past two years, she had lost confidence in her appearance after listening to disgusting and sarcastic words about her countless times. Not only did the people despise her as an ugly girl, but even children would cry when they saw her. It turned out that her own face could also be called stunning.“They are right.” Brendan suddenly said in a low voice,

“Oh, thank you.” Laura felt flattered. Her presence at the banquet was so minimal that it was neglectable. As such, it was rare for someone to care about her preferences.She said with a smile, "Miss McKinnon, with you being so beautiful, your sense should be good too. I'm very honored."Deirdre returned Laura’s compliment with a smile.What followed was business networking. Deirdre minimized her presence by just standing aside, smiling, and nodding.Cillian seemed to have a strong intention to cooperate with Brendan. He mentioned his intention many times, but Brendan indirectly rejected them. Following that, Cillian talked about Declan.“My younger brother is too ignorant. He's as naive as a child. He actually broke his relationship with you just because he didn't agree with you about one thing and kept talking about you behind your back."As soon as Cillian said that, Brendan showed a trace of disgust and impatience on his face. "We are not suitable to be friends, but I don't b

Let alone if someone like her fell into Laura’s position, Deirdre might not survive at all.At that moment, she felt fortunate to have Kyran.“What do you want to say next?” Brendan knew her words had implicit meaning and sneered. “When you married me, at least before that incident, I never made you feel wronged for a moment.”“Yes.” Deirdre smiled wryly.Brendan had never let her feel wronged in front of outsiders. Not only that, but he always looked like a good husband, and even Madame Brighthall loved her very much.Everything was good when it came to marrying him, except that Brendan didn’t love her."Is there any snack here? I'm quite hungry." She changed the subject appropriately. Her stomach was indeed empty.Brendan looked around and led her to a corner. At that moment, someone came up to greet her.“Mr. Brighthall, it’s been a long while since we last met. I thought that I would be lucky enough to see you only in Neve, but I didn't expect to see you here at the birthda

“Are you lying, Mr. Brighthall? I have not heard anyone talking about this woman before. How could she be your wife suddenly!?”The smile in Brendan’s eyes gradually faded away, and his handsome face became calm as he rebutted, “Why would I lie to you?”“But—”“Joan!” Mr. Wood reprimanded Joan before he turned to Brendan and said smilingly, “My daughter can get excited easily. It’s a good thing that you’ve got yourself a wife. Please do invite us when you organize a wedding.”Only then did Brendan curl the corner of his lips. "That’s for sure."After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mr. Wood took away Joan, whose eyes were reddened. Joan’s dissatisfied complaint was heard as they were leaving. “She is blind. Why…”Deirdre remained very calm upon hearing it. She only tilted her head as she said, “Since you aren’t interested in this girl, you can just refuse directly. Why did you use me as an excuse and make me an enemy?”Brendan didn’t care. “Because you’re easy to be utilized.”D

“Ms. Deirdre, are you truly Mr. Brighthall’s wife?” said Joan in a tone full of disbelief and contempt.Deirdre’s smile froze for a second before she regained her calm expression. “Didn’t you ask this question before? I remember that Brendan answered you truthfully.”Biting her lip, Joan insisted. “I want to hear the truth!”“The truth?” Deirdre smiled. “The truth is what you already know. I’m indeed Brendan’s wife.”Deirdre didn’t lie. She was indeed Brendan’s wife, even though they would file a divorce in a few days.“How is it possible?” Joan snarled, her voice shivering, “A woman like you—““What’s wrong with a woman like me?” asked Deirdre. The aura she was emitting at this moment was surprisingly similar to Brendan’s.Joan was taken aback, but because of her intense unwillingness to reconcile, she said impolitely, “You have neither a good family background nor any capability. What do you have?”Deirdre replied with a faint smile, “Ms. Wood, you’re right. I don’t have a fa
