“Whether it's Brendan or not, why don't you go out and see it for yourself?”“Why should I listen to you?” said the man, grinning lecherously. Emboldened by the alcohol, he said, “Brendan has never had any women around him. I admit that you're pretty, but you can't simply say something like that. Besides, what’s so great about Brendan?“Even if you really are his woman, I’m sure you have been having a lackluster sex life. I’m better than him. Not only that, but I can give you money too. If you come with me, I assure you that you’ll be very satisfied.”The more the man said, the more excited he became. He stretched his arm forward to touch Deirdre’s body.“Stay away from me!” Deirdre shouted in disgust as she pushed him away.The man was stunned at first when he got pushed away. Then he flew into a rage and slapped Deirdre across her face. “B*tch! All of you here are to serve us! How dare you look down on me!?”Deirdre felt buzzing in her ears. She was in so much pain that her v

“What?” Deirdre could not believe what she had just heard. She was so angry that she felt pain in her chest.A man had nearly violated her. If Declan had not shown up at the right time, Ronan would have succeeded already. Now, it seemed to her that Cillian was just going to take on Ronan’s side and that he was not going to do anything about it.“Don’t you think it’s unfair for me, Mr. King? If something like this can be resolved with an apology, why do we need the police?”Cillian squinted. “So, can I say that you… aren’t forgiving him?”“Yes. I’m going to call the cops.”Ronan was stunned. He growled, “B*tch! Know your own place!”Cillian also chimed in and said in a displeased voice, “Miss McKinnon, since it didn't happen anyway, we should just turn a blind eye to it and let it go. This party is to celebrate Laura's birthday. If you really call the police, you'll be stealing her thunder, and if it gets out, it'll damage everyone's reputation.”After that, he looked at her and

Brendan frowned and said, “Did you apply a new layer of concealer?Deirdre heaved out a sigh of relief and explained, “I messed up my makeup, so I went to fix it.”“Where is your purse then?” Brendan was cautious. He was not someone who could be fooled easily. “If you didn’t bring your cosmetics with you, how did you fix your makeup? “I borrowed them from someone I met in the washroom.”“Who is it?” Brendan squinted. He had the hunch that Deirdre was lying to him. He decided to follow his instinct and stretched his finger forward to pinch Deirdre’s left cheek. In the next second, the pain that erupted from her left cheek caused her to frown. Brendan let go of his hand and growled, “You’re hurt?” “Yes.” Deirdre knew she couldn’t fool Brendan anymore, so she had no other choice but to admit it.“If you’re hurt, then why didn’t you tell me about it?” Brendan could not hold his anger anymore. “Who did it? Tell me.”Deirdre was stunned for a moment when she realized how angry B

Mr. King Sr. was the first one to come around to his senses. He was overwhelmed by his rage as he covered his chest with his hand and said, “H… How dare you go against my words! If you refuse to do as you’re told, you can get out of the Kings now. You aren’t fit to be known as a King!”Declan said, “I’ve never touched her before, so I don’t need to bear any responsibility, and I’ll not marry her!”Cillian chuckled. “How bold of you to say that, Declan. Look at all the evidence in front of you. There’s nothing you can change, even if you don’t want to admit it. As a man, you should take the consequences of your own deeds. You shouldn’t make our family a laughingstock in the city.”Declan looked at him and clenched his fists tightly. “I can understand other people since they aren’t there when things happen, but you were there too. Look at this picture. This is the private room you brought me to during a celebration. You were also present at that time. Would I have done anything with t

“Of course I did!” Cillian smiled coldly at Deirdre as he waited for her to fall into his trap. “If you don’t believe it, you can check the surveillance camera. Wynne, go get the surveillance footage of Mystic Midnight for us.”Wynne went to do Cillian’s bidding. After roughly ten minutes, he came back and whispered into Cillian’s ear. Wearing a shocked expression on his face, Cillian said, “What? The footage has somehow been deleted?”Yes…” Wynne said, “The people from Mystic Midnight said…”“Just say it. Stop wasting our time!”Wynne gnashed his teeth and said, “They all said it’s Declan who ordered them to delete the footage.”Everyone gasped in surprise when they heard what Wynne said. “Isn't this enough to prove everything? If Declan really didn't do anything, why would he ask them to delete the footage?”“Yeah. It seems like he isn’t innocent.”A commotion broke out in the crowd.Deirdre knew that this was what Cillian was aiming for. After all, if he hadn’t struck a de
