Chapter 1121 Settle the Matter Until the End
Emily felt uneasy in her heart and bit her lower lip tightly so she could force herself to smile."What… What's going on, Mr. Brighthall? If this is irrelevant to Ms. McKinnon, why did you ask me to come?"Brendan narrowed his eyes and said bluntly, "Deirdre told me that you mentioned Shea's missing incident when you took her to meet Sterling the other day. Is that true?"Emily's heart was racing, and her face turned ghastly pale instantly. 'Deirdre would tell Brendan about this? Isn't she already beginning to feel disappointed with Brendan?'Moreover, what's going on with Brendan? Why is he starting to be suspicious of me?'"Shea…" Emily's forehead was sweating, and she was trying to figure out a way to defend herself. Brendan caught her by surprise when he interrupted her. "Don't tell me that you didn't bring up Shea and that it was all Deirdre's lies. I know very well that Deirdre wouldn't lie to me."He spoke in a domineering tone, his chiseled jaw tensed, his jawline wel
Chapter 1122 He Was Lying on Emily's Lap
Emily's heart was racing. How would she procure the evidence of the hotel when her friend was just a made-up excuse?Her palms were sweaty, and she felt suffocated."What are you doing there? Do you need me to get someone to help you?"Brendan had run out of patience, and Emily was so startled that she dropped her phone on the floor. She hastily bent over to pick up the phone and came up with an idea at the last moment."Alright, I shall contact the friend and get him to show the evidence."She made the call in Brendan's presence, but Brendan did not understand the language very well."What kind of language is that?"Emily smiled. "It's my friend's local accent."Brendan massaged his temples, bored to death by her words."Do it quickly. My patience is running low.""Sure." Emily nodded and brought up a video clip that she showed to Brendan."However, in order to prevent you from accusing my friend of fraudulence, he recorded the whole process of him going through the luggage
Chapter 1123 Counseling
Deirdre's pupils constricted, and she found it ironic by the time she recovered from her surprise.'What am I doing here?'"I'm sorry. It turns out that I'm disturbing both of you. I shouldn't be here." Deirdre suppressed her anger and turned around to leave. Brendan was about to get up to go after Deirdre when Emily clutched his arm. "What is going on with you, Mr. Brighthall?""What is going on with me?" Brendan held his head and felt like he was in a daze. In fact, he did not even know why he would be in the study now. Soon afterward, he pulled back his arm and queried Emily, "Why are you here?"Emily said, "You invited me to talk about our collaboration today. Have you forgotten about that?""Me? Inviting you to talk about our collaboration?""Yes. You fainted suddenly when we were halfway through our discussion, so I could only help to carry you to the sofa. I didn't expect Ms. McKinnon to walk in on us coincidentally and… She saw us."Brendan attempted to clear his head
Chapter 1124 Uphold Your Sanctity
Emily had never been mocked in this manner before. Her face turned ghastly pale at once, yet she swallowed her grievance at the thought of the man's long-term plan."I didn't expect that Deirdre would actually tell Brendan about this incident either… Moreover, Brendan believed her. I believe that she must have gained his trust by faking her pain!""I don't care if he fell for the trick or what, but it's true that you almost failed the plan. Moreover, you're such an idiot. Haven't you realized that Sterling's presence hasn't affected Brendan yet?"Emily came to realize that and bit her lower lip tightly. "Yes, Brendan was supposed to be going frantic from jealousy from the start.""How is Brendan going to lose control of himself if you still don't stir up trouble? I'm going to give you one last chance to ruin the relationship between Brendan and Deirdre. Or else, you'll be of no use to me."The call was hung up. The man's attitude was worlds apart compared to when he proposed to wo
Chapter 1125 I Don't Wish to Trouble You, Mr. Brighthall
The next moment, Deirdre caught Brendan by surprise when she avoided him. She said sarcastically, "I don't wish to trouble you, Mr. Brighthall. Your work is so busy, and it's already exhausting enough for you to be enjoying Ms. Collins' gentleness, Mr. Brighthall. You don't have to worry about me. I can manage this trivial matter."Brendan was having difficulty bringing himself to speak. "You've misunderstood, Deirdre.""Misunderstood what?" Deirdre asked calmly, "Have I misunderstood that you have an affair with Emily, or have I misunderstood about you lying on her body?"Thanks to my poor vision, I couldn't see clearly. Otherwise, you wouldn't have the opportunity to defend yourself anymore, Mr. Brighthall."I think that I shouldn't treat my eyes because that would be the best for you, Mr. Brighthall."Brendan was rendered speechless, and his expression was uneasy. He endured the throbbing pain in his head and explained, "I was so tired that I fainted earlier. You bumped into Em
Chapter 1126 You Care About Me
Deirdre was astounded by the feeling of falling, and she wrapped her arms around the man's neck subconsciously while he hugged her tightly.Brendan's breath sprayed on Deirdre's face, and he lowered his head to ask with a hoarse voice, "Smell it again to see if there is a woman's smell on me."Not only was there no woman's smell, but he did not even reek of cigarettes, but there was only a faint, musky scent that smelled like sandalwood, or it could be his own masculine scent. Deirdre could not help being stunned for a moment. She bit her lower lip and struggled when she came to realize the situation. "Brendan, put me down.""I won't." Brendan hugged her even tighter as if he wished that he could fuse his body with Deirdre. He sniffed the scent of her body greedily and felt the warmth that he yearned for."You're just going to pull a long face at me if I put you down.""Shouldn't I do that?" Deirdre turned her head to the side.Brendan smiled and said, "You should.""It was my
Chapter 1127 Exonerate Her
Brendan's flawlessly handsome face was filled with confusion. "I don't remember. How can I actually not have any recollection of such an important matter?"Deirdre was astonished. "You don't have any recollection of it? Why would you invite Emily to come today, then?""For a land auction. Collins Pharmaceuticals wants to work with me to have a share of that land, so Emily met me to discuss it."Deirdre pursed her lips. "So, you invited Emily to come today just to discuss the collaboration?""Hmm."Deirdre was rendered speechless suddenly. What else could she say after Brendan declared that he had forgotten about it? She pulled her hand away from Brendan and walked ahead by herself.Brendan clutched her wrist, and his dark eyes were solemn. "Are you angry, Deirdre?"Before Deirdre could speak, he said, "I have no idea how I can forget such an important matter. I'll get a proper clarification from Emily."Deirdre gave Brendan the benefit of the doubt. "Don't meet her anymore. Jus
Chapter 1128 Without Any Hesitation
"I don't have the evidence, but I have you, Brendan! I can attest to everything I said. Look into Emily if you're willing to trust me, and you'll most certainly be able to find Shea!"She finished her sentence agitatedly and left behind a death-like stillness in the ambiance.Deirdre felt her left eyelid twitching frantically, and the silent ambiance was suffocating. Soon afterward, she heard Brendan say, "Rest well."At that moment, she was so agitated that her body was shaking. She felt as if her spirit was dampened."Brendan, just consider it as me begging you, alright? Shea's situation can't be delayed for a day longer. If only you investigate Emily closely, you'll most certainly be able to find something!"Brendan appeared to have mixed feelings. "Deirdre, I understand that Shea's situation is also very dangerous. Hence, I will do my best to get someone to save her, but you're only going to distract the rescue personnel if you behave like this."There's no reason for Emily t
