Chapter 79 He Didn’t Touch You… After All?
Brendan’s temper reached its boiling point. His grip around Deirdre’s wrist tightened like a clamp intended to grind human bones. Fire was burning in his eyes, and if homicide was legal, Deirdre would be dead right there and then.“Congratulations, Deirdre. You’ve really pissed me off!”Pain drained the color from Deirdre’s face. Before she even knew what was happening, Brendan had forcibly trawled her away despite her fumbling, staggering footsteps. He lugged her all the way to his hotel room and chucked her against the bathroom floor. There was not enough time for the pain to subside. Deirdre had barely opened her eyes when chilling water from the showerhead above poured mercilessly over her. The cold was biting, and Deirdre trembled. “Stop! Brendan, stop!”“Stop? Stop?!” he scoffed. Instead of honoring her plea, he lifted her head up so he could spray even more water over her head and body. “How else am I gonna cleanse you of your filth, you wh*re? The last thing I want is sm
Chapter 80 A Curse That Keeps on Haunting
Brendan’s other two bodyguards stood behind Sam. They clearly had their own opinions about the entire incident, but even they knew better than to speak loudly between themselves.“What the hell has been up with Mr. Brighthall lately, man? He’s been acting like he lost his soul and his will to live just because a blind-*ss woman went missing,” one of them whispered. He was wearing a look that was not subtle by any means. “You don’t think… he’s fallen in love with that freak, do you?”“Bro, you’re really acting like this couldn’t just be the concern and worry of a decent human being,” the other man replied. “Come on, man. Mr. Brighthall and that freak? It’d be like an elf prince marrying an ogress, bro! Hell, I bet there are ogresses who are even more pleasing to the eye. She looks like a pile of shi—”“Shut uuuuuuup!” Sam suddenly snapped, shattering his self-imposed silence. His eyes were wild with fury. It was genuinely unsettling to see someone famous for being approachable and
Chapter 81 I Owe Her This Much
Brendan was not going to shy away from a hard conversation. He stepped closer to Madame Brighthall and said, “Do you know what happened to her?”It took all his willpower to suppress his rage. “By the time I found her, she was drugged and set up to be raped under the influence! The aphrodisiac they used on her damaged her body enough that her life is hanging by a thread. She just came out of the ER, but she’s still unconscious!”“What?!” Madame Brighthall cried in disbelief. She then leaped to her feet. “How did that even—? No, who would commit such an atrocity in this age and society? It’s barbaric!”He took a deep breath. “Just because you’re blissfully unaware of it, it doesn’t mean cruelty has ceased to exist.”Madame Brighthall furrowed her eyebrows. “Oh, so this is you looking for someone to crucify, isn’t it? And to you, I happen to be the one who caused all of this, right?” she retorted. “As if that woman wasn’t the one who drove a wrench into your relationship with Charlen
Chapter 82 It Was Her Choice to Leave
Brendan clenched his fists tightly and replied word for word, “She needs me.” In fact, Brendan felt guilty and rather unconfident when he said it. Deirdre had indeed needed Brendan in the past. Whenever she’d waited a long time for him to come back, she would make several calls to inquire and reluctantly hung up the phone when she learned that Brendan was getting annoyed.However, Deirdre would now leave whenever she wanted. When she had been drugged, she hadn’t even begged for his help but someone else’s. An irreversible change had indeed taken place between Deirdre and Brendan, which made Brendan feel uneasy.“You’re too obsessed with her!” Madame Brighthall felt dizzy. Charlene was dumbfounded for a moment before she recollected herself and supported Madame Brighthall, saying, “Are you alright?”Charlene turned to Brendan and said, “Brendan, stop it. Can you please get out? You know your mother isn’t in good health. Don’t you make her go to the hospital again.”Charlene fe
Chapter 83 Did It Hit Him That Hard?
The moment when Deidre had been forced to get out, she must have been thrilled to finally leave Brendan and privately go back to Sterling.However, before Deirdre could even reach Sterling, she had been abducted into an illegal industry.Brendan wanted to laugh, but his chest felt stuffy and painful. Regardless of how strong the wind was, it wasn’t as cold as the chill in his heart.Brendan’s lips quivered in anger, and rage churned inside of him, trying to crush him down.“Brendan? Are you alright?” Charlene didn’t feel good while looking at Brendan. She wondered whether Deirdre’s intention to leave had hit him that hard.“Yes, I’m good.” Brendan closed his eyes with a quiver. After a while, when he reopened his eyes, the sentiment in them had disappeared. It had been replaced with his usual indifference and an affectionless gaze. “Go back. It’s cold out here. You don’t want to get sick.”“Would you like to go back with me?” Charlene felt his warmth and was assured that Brendan
Chapter 84 Don’t Force Me to Get Angry
“I’d like to rest some more.”Deirdre avoided answering. Sam understood clearly. Hence, he nodded, said a few words, and went out.Right after the door closed behind Sam, he saw Brendan, who was wearing a coat, coming out of the elevator. Brendan was still wearing yesterday’s clothes, his face looked extremely tired, and it was accompanied by an abnormal flush as if he was ill.Sam hurriedly paced toward Brendan and greeted him. “Mr. Brighthall.”“Has Deirdre woken up?”“Yes, she just woke up.”As Brendan was about to enter the room, Sam asked, “Mr. Brighthall? Did you not rest well? You seem ill. How about you consult the doctor first?”“No worries.” Brendan frowned heavily. “I’ll take a look at Deirdre.”Brendan pushed open the door and saw Deirdre, who had closed her eyes but whose eyelashes were still trembling. Then, Brendan closed the door behind him.“Are you asleep?” Brendan asked even though he knew Deirdre was still awake. His fatigue was a result of two sleepless
Chapter 85 Stop Doing Useless Things
Brendan pinched Deirdre’s face harder as rage soared in him. ‘If she wants to leave, does she have to make it so straightforward?’“What’s wrong with you?” Deirdre was feeling so much pain that tears dropped from her eyes. Meanwhile, she struggled hard to free herself.Brendan reacted by pushing Deirdre down on the bed while gripping her hands. His chest plopping, he growled, “What’s wrong with me? Deirdre, do you know that if I hadn’t just gone to the hotel to change clothes and met you, you would have been raped by that old man?! How could you leave immediately when you were asked to? If you were to die, would you be d*mn happy because it would mean you’d finally escape my control?”“You’re crazy…” Her eyes were red, and Deidre was truly disappointed that Brendan would blame her for this.“It’s your mother who demanded that I leave! She said I was a mistress destroying the relationship between you and Charlene! Mr. Brighthall, I was not brazen enough to stay after she made it so
Chapter 86 Just Bear the Child
To get to the bottom of it, the problem was still Brendan. Deirdre just had to ask Brendan for his permission, but she refused to.If she couldn’t even choose not to get pregnant, she doubted what she was to him. A tool?-After a long time, Brendan woke up from his drowsy state. His head felt heavy and painful. Besides, the fever he was suffering from had not subsided. Instead, it had worsened.The first thing Brendan did as he opened his eyes with a splitting headache was to take a look at Deirdre, who was supposed to be lying beside him. When he didn’t see her, his heart skipped a beat, and he got up in a hurry. He glanced around the room and finally stopped when he saw Deirdre on the sofa.Deirdre was crouching on the sofa while looking out the window, even though she couldn’t see anything. The warm light of the setting sun embraced the tiny, thin Deirdre, making her appear rather pitiful.Brendan felt guilty. Now that he had woken up, he admitted that he had acted impulsiv
