It felt as if thunder had erupted in her head. Deirdre’s eyes widened, and they slowly turned red. She felt like an invisible blade was stabbing her and her soul was being stripped away. She gasped heavily and grabbed Maeve’s hand. “What did you say!?”“Deirdre!” Glenna shouted as she hugged Deirdre nervously. She had never seen Deirdre lose her composure before. “We’re in a residential area right now. You need to calm down.”It was only then Deirdre came around to her senses. However, her lips were still trembling as she mumbled, “What did you say?”Maeve looked at her in compassion and said helplessly, “It’s getting late. My daughter is coming back from school…”Deirdre walked out of the residential area in an animatronic stiffness. She felt as if she was not in command of her own body. Her brain was repeating the things that Maeve had said, and she realized how ridiculous she was.She could not believe that she was so naive as to think that Maeve was the only reason Charlen

This was something that Deirdre had expected. After all, Brendan was a heartless man who could push his wife, whom he had married for two years, into the abyss without batting an eyelid.“Charlene has been released from jail without charge. It's Brendan who saved her. He promised that he would bring Charlene to justice, and after getting bored of playing with me, he went back on his word and took Charlene out.”Kyran clenched his hand on her back slightly and replied, “I know.”“You know?” Deirdre suddenly raised her head and looked at Kyran when she heard what he said.Her eyes seemed to have become clearer after being washed by her tears. She looked at Kyran fixedly and pressed on. “How do you know?”A hint of nervousness crossed Kyran’s eyes. Before he could say anything, Deirdre’s eyes widened in shock.“That day… was Brendan?” Deirdre asked as she grabbed his shirt, her voice thick with agitation. “That middle-aged woman and everything that happened recently... It's Brendan,

“Hi, I’m Deirdre McKinnon.”Elyne was stunned for a moment, but she did not say anything. She chuckled and turned to look at Whelan, who was standing next to her. When she realized that Whelan was staring at Deirdre, she nudged him with her elbow and said, “Stop looking at her like that. Hurry up and introduce yourself.”It was only then Whelan snapped himself out of his trance. He scratched his head and said, “Hi, Miss McKinnon. I’m Whelan McKinnon.”Elyne knew that Whelan had a thing for Deirdre, so she decided to help him. She pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, “Wow! Both of you have the same surname. What a coincidence!”“That’s nothing,” Glenna chimed in and said, “All of us came from the same family a thousand years ago.”“Do you have to be such a joy killer?” shouted Elyne.Deirdre was affected by the lively atmosphere and felt a lot better now.The three of them took great care of her when they arrived at the amusement park. However, most of the time, it was Whel

“Yeah. How did you know about that?”“I know the customers inside that private room. She likes to order a lot of food. It’s just that…” Deirdre came to an abrupt stop before finishing her sentence.“It’s just what?”“She doesn't have much money and likes to puff herself up to the cost. When she was in Neve, she always ran away before paying when those new restaurants weren't paying attention to her. I didn't expect she'd come here now, and I'm pretty sure that she'll do the same this time.”The receptionist did not say anything after Deirdre finished speaking, so she added, “If you don’t believe me, you can go around and ask about it yourself. That woman’s name is Charlene McKinney.”“That is not necessary.” The receptionist smiled. “Thank you for your advice, Miss, but don’t worry. That woman won’t do that this time.”“Why are you so sure of that?” asked Deirdre.“It’s because Mr. Brendan Brighthall has booked that private room.”Deirdre froze for a moment. Her fingertips were

“Brendan, do you want me to remind you again? We’re no longer husband and wife. I can go wherever I want. You have no right to control me!”“I have no right?” Brendan was so infuriated that he felt a throbbing pain in his temples. “What about your boyfriend? Does your boyfriend allow you to hug another man? Deirdre, have you no shame?”‘Have I no shame?’Deirdre sneered coldly. She might feel a bit embarrassed if other people said something like this to her, but what made Brendan think he could judge her like this? The only person in this world who did not have the right to say that she was shameless was him.“Even if I'm shameless, at least I know that we need to keep our promise. What about you, Mr. Brighthall?” Deirdre said through gritted teeth. She forced down her anger and scoffed mockingly. “How much truth is there in what you say?”Brendan parted his lips. There were a lot of things he wanted to say, but he swallowed them back into his stomach pit. In the end, he just sa
