Chapter 812 Are You Going to Cook for Him, Ms. Mckinnon?
“Then why would his wound hurt at night?”Brendan looked at Deirdre in surprise. He could not hold himself back and held her hand with their fingers interlaced.Dr. Lang sighed. “This is normal when inflammation happens. But as long as Mr. Brighthall takes medicine accordingly and avoids some food, his wound will heal eventually.”“Alright, then,” said Deirdre. After Dr. Lang left, Brendan grabbed Deirdre carefully in his arms. There was a hint of joy in his pair of eyes as he said, “Are you worried about me, Deirdre?”Before waiting for Deirdre to say anything, he continued. “I’m really happy about it.”She was worried about his wound. This was something he did not dare to imagine before today.Deirdre gave him the cold shoulder and pushed his arm again.“Please, don’t get it wrong. You made too much noise last night. I don’t want to get disturbed by you anymore.”After that, she turned around and went into the kitchen.Mrs. Engel was doing her chores inside the kitchen whe
Chapter 813 The Bullet Didn’t Hit You
“Really?” Brendan’s eyes lit up.Deirdre had never once smiled ever since she stepped foot into this mansion, and this was the first time she said she wanted to go out to get some fresh air. “I’ll come with you,” he said, his voice thick with exhilaration. Deirdre frowned. “Why do you want to come with us?”“I can help you to carry stuff. I can be the driver too.”Even Mrs. Engel could sense the submissiveness in Brendan's voice. He used to be a very powerful person in Neve. There was no way he would willingly become other people’s driver.Deirdre turned her head sideways and said, “That’s not necessary. Look at the wound on your shoulder. I doubt you’ll be able to hold anything right now, let alone carry some heavy stuff. We can walk there ourselves. We don’t need you to drive us there.”Brendan’s face sank. “I just don’t want you to leave my side, Deirdre.”Deirdre remained silent. She opened the door and bumped into Sam.Sam greeted her, and when he saw Brendan, he said
Chapter 814 Exposed Photo
“You’re talking about the Brighthall Group?” “Yeah, when I first saw him, I thought he was a good man since he is so good-looking and has a successful career. I didn't expect him to do something like that. Just like people always say, you can't judge a book by its cover.”“Yeah, but I don't think this is something strange at all. After all, he's so powerful that he can do whatever he wants, and that's not something we common people can do anything about. I just feel a little bit disgusted. He can make the law bend to his will just because he has some power.”‘That’s right. Now that everyone in the city knows about it, he can’t run away anymore. Well, he deserves it. If it weren’t for the whistleblower, all of us would still be in the dark…”Deirdre stopped in her tracks.Mrs. Engel also heard their conversation, and she asked, “Mrs. Brighthall, are they talking about Mr. Brighthall?”“I have no idea either…” Deirdre’s head was a muddled mess.Those people’s words were filled wi
Chapter 815 Mauled by the Angry Crowd
“Shameless! Get back to prison! No, you should be executed! You need to pay with your life!” “Get back to prison! Get back to prison!” Everyone shouted in chorus and started throwing stuff at Deirdre to vent their anger in the victim's place.Mrs. Engel hastily protected Deirdre under her arms and shouted, “Stop! Stop it! She’s pregnant!”“Pregnant? A killer like her shouldn’t even be allowed to have a baby!”“An apple won't fall far from its tree! An evil criminal like her will only give birth to another murderer! She should get an abortion!”The passersby were indignant, throwing eggs and vegetables at her relentlessly. Some of them even grabbed her hair and started beating her. This was the scene that Brendan saw when he arrived at the grocery store. His eyes became bloodshot as he charged into the grocery store.“Get off her!” Brendan pushed away those people who were beating Deirdre and protected her under his body. He ignored the pain on his shoulder and looked at De
Chapter 816 Can You Let Me Go?
The fact that Brendan had been ambushed and Deirdre’s past had been exposed on the Internet meant she was not their primary target.Brendan knew it very well. It was just that he felt sorry for bringing Deirdre into this. The derision in the woman’s eyes was still vividly clear in his mind. Deirdre would not have suffered such humiliation if it were not for him.“I want the photo off the Internet. Don’t forget to delete all the posts and news about her as well.”“Then what about the person who uploaded the photo?”Deirdre narrowed his eyes dangerously and said, “I’m sure they are with the group of people who ambushed me. Just speed up your action.”“Yes, sir.”After Sam left, Brendan stitched his wound and reapplied the bandage. He went to Deirdre’s ward, and Mrs. Engel was waiting outside. “How is she?” asked Brendan.“There are scratches here and there on Mrs. Brighthall’s body, but they aren’t serious,” Mrs. said Engel, her eyes red around the rims. “However, she seems
Chapter 817 Will You Let Charlene Confess to the Crime?
Brendan’s heart was torn apart as he buried his head in the woman’s shoulder.He already had the answer in his heart.He could not do it. He could not afford to lose Deirdre again, even if it was only for a day. Only when Deirdre was around him did he feel he was alive as a living person, not as a walking corpse.“I’m sorry…”“Stop saying sorry to me. I’ve heard enough of it.”Deirdre pushed him away as she felt disgusted. Brendan grabbed her fingers. His eyes were red and filled with determination. “Don’t worry. I’ll bring an end to all of this. I promise you that what happened today won’t happen again.”“Bring an end to all of this?” Deirdre looked at him. “How are you going to end it? Are you going to tell everyone in Neve that Charlene was the one who ran that person over? Will you tell everyone that she’s the murderer and bring her to justice?” Brendan was stumped, and a mocking smile hopped onto the corner of Deirdre’s lips. She had expected his reaction.Brendan too
Chapter 818 Press Conference
Mrs. Engel was busy in the kitchen while Deirdre sat on the couch alone. After a while, she worried that Deirdre might get bored, so she dried her hand and switched on the TV.“Mrs. Brighthall, would you like some movie?”“Sure.”Deirdre felt her surroundings were too quiet as well. When it became too quiet, people would start to imagine things. In her case, when everything became quiet, she would hear the things those people said about her, and it stung her ears.Mrs. Engel was fumbling through the remote control. She accidentally switched to the news channel, and just when she was about to change to another channel, she was stunned as she looked at the TV.“Mr. Brighthall? Isn’t that Mr. Brighthall? What is he doing there?”Deirdre raised her head and listened to the news.“Brendan Brighthall from the Brighthall Group convened a press conference to respond to the news that has been spreading on the Internet. Whether the truth is as rumored, that Brendan paid for his ex-wife to
Chapter 819 Questioning the Police
Everyone fell silent as Brendan scanned around the crowd with an oppressive gaze. The man who shouted just now did not make any noise anymore. Brendan glanced at Sam, and the latter nodded before leaving the crowd.Seizing the chance, a reporter asked, “Mr. Brighthall, you said the whole incident is pure slander, but why did we all see you leaving the grocery store with Charlene this morning? Could it be fake? There is no way that someone would fake a picture like that, right?”“If it isn't real, then who has the guts to defame the CEO of the Brighthall Group? Are they not worried about being sent to prison?”“Charlene had hit and killed someone. She should be serving her sentence in prison, but now she has appeared in front of everyone as if nothing has happened. All of us saw it with our own eyes. Do you think it's still fake?””Mr. Brighthall, is it because the Brighthall Group is so powerful in Neven that you think you can disregard the law or abuse the law to get your ex-wif
