"What is there to explain? I thought you could give me a good life, but you immediately showed your true colors when I only spent 18,000 dollars. How will I survive if I marry you in the future!?"Blake quickly coaxed her. "Oh, Lily, you’ve misunderstood. I just wanted to ask whether you have enough money. I’ll give you more if you don’t.""Really?" Lily's expression softened. "It's true that I’ve almost finished spending my money. When will you transfer me the remaining 25,000?"Blake gnashed his teeth and replied with determination, “Soon! I’ll transfer it to you immediately after I receive it.”“Oh dear, you’re truly very amazing. In that case, I’ll continue to enjoy it!”After hanging up the phone, Blake knelt with his head in his arms.He knew that Lily had spent the 18,000 dollars, and he would not be able to get it back. It wouldn't be worth it if he lost his girlfriend again.But if he couldn't get the money, wouldn't he…The woman's eyes flashed in his mind, and he ref
“H-How do you feel?”"I wanted to be with you at the beginning. It turned out to be wishful thinking. How could I be worthy of you, a woman who married Brendan Brighthall? I guess you wouldn't like me either."Deirdre frowned. "Tobey, do you still remember what you said to me before? Don't belittle yourself. I always remember it very clearly. Why did you forget what you taught me?”“I…”“Tobey, the relationship between Brendan and I is not as simple as you think. We didn’t have any affection for each other. If possible, I would rather have never met him in my life."Only then did Tobey come to his senses. He frowned and said, "Indeed, if he was good, how could you become like this?"Deirdre smiled. After all, she didn't care anymore, and neither did she have the strength to do so. "Anyway, it's over. By the way, what about Madame Russell?""I've already explained that it's just a nonsense stunt pulled by the media, and you have nothing to do with Brendan Brighthall.""Thank you
“But I’m the patient.”Deirdre’s cheeks burned slightly when she heard Kyran talk in a serious manner. Biting her lower lip, she rebutted, “Don't make excuses. It's not like you can't move your mouth.”“I like it when you feed me. It was soft, and it smelled good.”Deirdre felt so embarrassed upon hearing the mechanical voice of the phone. She turned, intending to walk away, but Kyran pulled her back smilingly. “Alright, I’ll stop messing with you.”When Deirdre sat down, Kyran asked, “Why were you crying when I was pushed out?”“I did?” Deirdre was startled as she couldn’t remember at all.“Your eyes were red,” replied Kyran.Deirdre immediately recalled the reported news and the person who took a photo of her, and her face turned pale. Trying to force herself to regain her composure, she lowered her head and said, “I was just too worried about you.”“Oh dear, why were you so worried? Didn’t I tell you that I’d be fine?”Deirdre smiled, but her eyes became empty.Though Kyra
The nurse hurriedly held Deirdre up, but Deirdre was feeling dizzy. She had heard the sound of the camera shuttle earlier. Her face had turned pale as a sheet, and she touched her body.“Miss McKinnon? What are you looking for?”“My phone…” Deirdre forced herself to calm down. “Can you please lend me your phone? I think I left mine in the ward.”The nurse immediately took out her phone. “Who do you want to call?”“D-Declan King!”The nurse naturally had Declan’s phone number. After she made the call, she passed it to Deirdre. While pressing against the marble countertop, she was shivering.She knew she would disturb Declan by calling late at night, but she had no other alternatives. The photos must not be spread.“Hello.” After quite a long while, a hoarse man’s voice was heard. “Who’s this?”“Mr. King, it’s me! I’m sorry for waking you up at this late hour.”Declan was indeed sleeping. But when he heard Deirdre’s voice, he immediately sobered up because something must have ha
Deirdre took a deep breath and entered the ward. As soon as she closed the door, Kyran asked, “Who did you meet?”He totally didn’t know what had happened. He only saw the bruise on her arm in the morning, but Deirdre told him she fell accidentally."It’s people from the hospital’s management level. Because I fell in the laundry room, they asked me if I was okay and if I needed compensation."Although Kyran was unhappy that Deirdre was injured, he couldn’t blame anyone, so he could only ask, "Does it still hurt?"Deirdre held his hands and smiled. "After taking medicine, it's gotten much better, and it doesn't hurt anymore.""The next time anything happens to you, remember to tell me immediately. If I didn't see your swollen arm this morning, you would have hidden it from me, wouldn’t you?"Kyran couldn’t help but blame Deirdre, but he felt even more distress.Deirdre was touched and even felt better from the restlessness she suffered from the incident yesterday.Since the poli
"That's good." Charlene softened and demanded, "Take him aside and check if there is any hidden camera before throwing him out."“Yes!”When Blake was dragged aside for inspection, he raised his hands and dared not make a sound. Meanwhile, Charlene tidied up her hair and walked toward the door.“Miss McKinsey.”Charlene was blocked just when she took a step forward.Charlene frowned. “It’s been two days, yet Bren is still unwilling to meet anyone?”The bodyguard smiled obsequiously. “Yes. Mr. Brighthall is in poor health and in a bad mood, so he just wants to stay in the room alone.”Charlene appeared to be Impatient, but she still said softly, "But at this juncture, Bren needs companions the most. If he is alone in the ward, doesn't it mean that no one will take care of him when he is thirsty? Open the door. I'm going to persuade him.""Miss McKinsey, I'm really sorry. It's not like you don't know what happened last time. Mr. Brighthall hates others disobeying him the most. Pl
“I advise you to delete the negatives immediately and then find a place to live honestly. Otherwise, you not only won’t be able to release your photos but you will also be imprisoned for several months. The choice is yours!"As soon as Charlene finished her sentence, she turned and left.Blake became anxious and said, “Miss McKinsey, aren’t you afraid that Brendan Brighthall is lying to you?”“What do you mean?” Charlene abruptly stopped and turned to Blake gloomily and sinisterly. “What nonsense are you talking about?”Blake bit the bullet and replied, “Brendan Brighthall and Charlene McKinney are dating without you knowing!”Charlene looked distorted as she approached Blake and said in a low voice, “If I find out you are lying, I guarantee that you will not be able to get out of here intact."Blake was frightened. He had never expected that Charlene, who appeared pretty, would look so vicious.He cheered himself up. "Why would I lie when I can take pictures of Charlene McKinne
“So what can I do for you?” “Miss McKinnon, can you help me? I’m sorry for lying to you that time, but Mr. Brighthall forced me,” said Maeve, her voice filled with sobs. “I shouldn’t have called you, but I can’t think of anyone else who can help me right now…”Deirdre frowned at the woman’s sobs and felt a pang in her chest.One of the reasons was that Maeve’s voice really sounded like her mother's, and the second reason was that she could feel that Maeve was genuinely good to her at that time. Although it all turned out to be fake, no one in this world could fake their feelings. This was also why she could not treat Maeve as she treated Brendan. She bit her lips and asked, “What happened?”“My daughter was diagnosed with cancer a while ago. For the past few months, I've sold my house and all my valuable things to pay for her expensive medical bills, but I can't hold on anymore.”“So, you want money?” Deirdre’s face turned pale, and she lowered her head, “I’m sorry, Madam O'K
