Chapter 885 How Can You Tell It’s Going to Be a Girl?
Deirdre took a seat on the couch and automatically turned on the TV. She surfed several channels, and as expected, all of them were talking about the incident where Brendan took her from the hospital. It was less of a splash and more of a tidal wave. Several members of the board of the Brighthall Group had released statements clarifying the distance between themselves and the man at the center of infamy. The Internet was even more heated.Deirdre was certain she would be subjected to the full tapestry of Internet mob commentaries if she could see.Brendan seemed to have become public enemy number one—and that fact sucked the light out of Deirdre’s eyes.Mrs. Engel hurried out of the kitchen. “Good morning, Miss McKinnon! I’ve made some herbal soup, so come on and give it a try. If you don’t like it, I’ll change the recipe—”She faltered, freezing in her steps. Then, hesitantly, she said, “Uh, I suggest not listening to all of this nonsense, Miss McKinnon…”Deirdre cast her eyes
Chapter 886 We’ll Join The Event
“No, I did not. My only evidence is what I heard from my mom. She said when a woman’s pregnant with a girl, their skin starts to glow and become smoother than ever. It’s happening to you.”Deirdre instinctively rubbed her face and felt none of that. “You’re making it up. I feel no difference!”“That’s because you can’t see it.” Brendan teased her, smiling. “Or… maybe my eyes have the lover filter on.”Deirdre turned her attention back to her soup as the rest of her body erupted into flustered flame.It was then that Sam rushed inside. Seeing the couple having their meal, he looked down and greeted them. “Good morning, Mr. Brighthall. Miss McKinnon.”Brendan took a sip of the soup. “What?”“Those old farts in the company are hosting an event tonight. They’re going to promote Desmond Griffin as the acting CEO!” Sam answered, gritting his teeth. “Oh, is that so?” Brendan’s eyes darkened. “They’re moving fast.”“H*ll, I bet they planned this to happen! I’m sure they would have wit
Chapter 887 Call It More
Brendan was willingly humbling himself to appreciate the gorgeously aesthetic woman.“Beautiful, very beautiful.”The stylist behind them covered her mouth in shock. Although it wasn’t her first time seeing such an act, she couldn’t believe that Brendan was doing it. After all, Brendan was the ruler of Neve. Even though he was somewhat restricted because of scandals, he was supposed to be superior, but he was so loving toward this lady.If it wasn't for the privacy of her guests, she would have taken photos and sent them to the group chat.Feeling uneasy, Deirdre withdrew her hand. “Are you sure? I’m not only a nobody. I’m also a suspect. Those board members will be rude if you take me to the banquet.”“It'll be good for me if they show rude behavior.”As expected, Brendan wanted her to enrage those people.Though feeling helpless, Deirdre didn’t say a word and got in the car along with Brendan.Upon arriving at the company’s parking lot, Brendan warned Deirdre while they were
Chapter 888 The Infamous Criminal
Many people were surprised because Brendan had not been invited to the banquet!Striding over, Desmond asked, “Brendan Brighthall! Don't you care about a woman, even if it means sacrificing the company’s future? Why are you here today?”After Brendan took the champagne from the waiter, he replied, “I just heard that the company is holding an internal banquet, yet I was not informed. I thought you were too happy that you forgot to invite me. So, I’m here just to congratulate you.”“Congratulate?” Desmond’s shrewd eyes were full of distrust. “Given your reputation in public, not shaming the company is already the biggest congratulation you can offer. You are not welcome at this banquet! We gave you a chance, but you didn’t know when to back off!”“Shaming?” Smiling, Brendan raised his glass. “Speaking of shaming, it seems that your acts were no better than mine in the past.”“Bren, I heard five years ago about a man named Desmond Griffin, who called two women into his room, and his
Chapter 889 Brendan was Hopeless
Brendan remained silent.Deirdre smiled and replied, “Mr. Griffin, I didn’t know that you knew so much. Do you think power can override the law? It seems like you’ve done this kind of thing a lot before, using your power to settle certain matters?”Feeling a pang, Desmond shouted, “Shut up!”“Who are you telling to shut up?” retorted Brendan as his smile faded.Desmond was at a loss for words.At that moment, Deirdre hooked her arm around Brendan’s and said, “Let it go, Bren. It’s understandable that Mr. Griffin is upset when his thoughts have been exposed. Don’t forget that we’re only here to congratulate Mr. Griffin today. I believe he’s open-minded enough not to care about the two of us talking, right?”Deirdre’s words put Desmond in a position whereby he would be seen as a petty man if he were to be enraged.Clenching his fists, Desmond recalled something and held back. “Do as you please! I don’t have time to cater to you!”Desmond turned and walked away, followed by severa
Chapter 890 Don’t Give Up the Future for Woman
“Are you thinking about it on my behalf?” said Brendan with surprise.Deirdre blushed at Brendan’s words and replied only after a moment, “Apart from you thinking about something on my behalf and vice versa, is there nothing else? I just hope that you will be in a better situation. If you continue to act this way, Charlene may not want you anymore.”“What about you? Do you want me?” asked Brendan.Stunned, Deirdre shifted her focus away from Brendan and replied, “If even Charlene doesn’t want you, how can you expect me to want you?”“But I’m capable, handsome, loyal, and ambitious. I’ve got lots of advantages as long as you are careful to discover them,” said Brendan.Deirdre ignored Brendan’s bragging and continued to eat the snacks. She tasted some tasty ones and couldn’t help but want more.Subconsciously, she reached out to take more snacks from the plate, but it was empty.Seeing it, Brendan said, “Do you like them? Wait a minute. I’ll ask if there are more in the kitchen.
Chapter 891 Police Swoop
Mr. Zimmer watched them for a long time. He wanted to say something but refrained from speaking forcefully.“If you think your choice is right, you may go on, but it will be difficult for you to remove Desmond from his position when he holds it steadily. I’m with you.”Upon saying that, he turned around and left. Deirdre said, “Mr. Zimmer has a good attitude but is exasperated by you.”“I know.” Brendan was calm and composed. Deirdre asked, “Do you regret helping me in the hospital? If you were to send someone to help, you would still be safe and sound and would be the Brighthall Group’s ruler now.”Brendan’s gaze landed on Deirdre’s face with a meaningful look on his face. “My only regret is not helping you when I passed by the room the first time.”He spoke in a sincere tone, and his gaze was deep.Deirdre was at a loss for words, so she could only answer, “You will regret it.” Then, she lowered her head to take a sip of her juice. The party was peaceful. In fact, Deirdre
Chapter 892 Plead Guilty
“Don’t deserve it, you say?”Brendan clutched the glass and burst out in laughter upon hearing that, but his eyes had no joy. “It seems that you’re not the one to determine if I deserve it, Mr. Griffin.”“Brendan! You’re still unrepentant at this point!” One board member angrily pointed at Brendan and berated him, “How will the Brighthall Group be in a crisis if not because of you? Everyone is discussing how to handle the situation with great effort so we can support the Brighthall Group through the crisis, yet you’ve actually brought a criminal with you! You brought in the police as well! You’re creating trouble for the Brighthall Group and bringing dishonor to your family!”“He’s right, Mr. Brighthall. You used to be outstanding and capable in the past. Even though you were young and reckless, the board of directors chose to tolerate you because we wanted the Brighthall Group to grow and expand. Yet, you disregarded the company because of a woman, and you’ve created such a big mes
