Chapter 941 They Won’t Spread The News
Charlene’s mind raced to everything that had happened to her back there as fear, panic, and lividity ravaged her. But now was not the time to lose control. She recalled how Brendan tried his best to maintain his composure and defended her despite being humiliated by the ordeal. It meant that he still cared about her and had enough care and love for her that he could not bear to watch her suffer.She had to secure this man! If Brendan decided to abandon her, those people she had been forced to work with… they had even less reservation about abandoning her, too. Someone whose reputation had gone down the sh*tter to the elite circle could not possibly rise up on their own ever again!After squaring the pros and cons of her options, Charlene turned on her heels and left quickly. The waitress watched her darting away, and the smug grin on her face disappeared. Solemnly, she said, “She’s gone, Miss McKinnon.”Deirdre rubbed her arms, which were cold from being exposed to the AC. “Ph
Chapter 942 Don’t Blame Me For Abandoning You!
Brendan sneered. “Well, well. Aren’t you naive?”Sam knocked on the door at just that moment, his visage grim. Brendan extinguished his cigarette and asked, “What’s wrong?”Sam shot a resentful glance at Charlene. “Someone’s taken pictures of what happened, so now… Charlene’s scandal has been leaked out to the public and became viral. Everyone has been anticipating this wedding for so long that this piece of news immediately became the most viral discussion. We couldn’t censor it at all.”Brendan scowled in silence. Charlene was aghast. “But how? How did it get leaked!?”“Why wouldn’t it, huh!?” Sam snapped at her. “Mr. Brighthall had a target painted on his back these days, so of course, they would be glad for a story that would ruin him in one fell swoop! Hell, it didn’t just leak! They clearly put in money to deliberately amplify the story to all corners of the Internet! Not only does Mr. Brighthall have to suffer being seen as a cuckolded husband, but the company’s tanking in
Chapter 943 Who Do You Think Is Behind All of This?
”Bren, I know someone who holds a grudge against you, but I can’t… tell if he’s the real mastermind behind the conspiracy against you.” “Oh?” Brendan’s interest was piqued. He focused his attention on Charlene’s face as though reading her. “Who is it?”She bit her lips. “I don’t know his name, but I know he’s not someone from Neve.”“Not from Neve?” Brendan’s eyebrows were furrowed together. “If he’s not someone who lives in Neve, then why would he hold a grudge against me?”“I don’t know. I only learned this much when they asked me to work with them.”“Work with them?”“Yes. They wanted to ruin you through my relationship with me and even resorted to compensating me financially.” Her eyes shifted for a moment, and she decided she needed to express her loyalty. “But they were never as important to me as you are, so I said no to working with them. But given how much they wanted to destroy you, I bet they didn’t let up just because I refused to help. So, all of this is probably… t
Chapter 944 Leaked Photos
“Nothing makes a man wanna protect more than his ego, right? Especially someone like Brendan. We can see that from what happened a few years ago. How could someone like that even allow news of himself being cucked to be leaked to the world? It just doesn’t make sense.”The man sank into a pensive silence. The underling was not wrong, yet he could not help but think something was amiss about this entire event—even if he could not connect Brendan to the mastermind. A long beat later, the man finally broke his silence. “Charlene McKinney is not salvageable by this point. Time to use this. Add fuel into Brendan’s chaos.”-Three days later, another story related to Charlene made the rounds. This time, intimate photos between herself and other men were under the spotlight. The leaker had stories, too. While Charlene was “a sl*t”, Brendan was described as someone whose apparent chastity and self-control were completely faked. He had predatory relationships with many minors, the leaker c
Chapter 945 I’ll Tell the Media the Truth
“Why hasn’t Mr. Brighthall come out to say anything after three days? Is it not the truth that his fiancee’s been sleeping with other men? The fact that he remains silent even after this discovery makes people wonder if the rumors are true about him doing equally despicable things on his own. Is this him trying to give Charli a second chance because he needs to absolve his own guilt?”“Nobody with a healthy sense of self-worth would accept a partner like this! Does the fact that Brendan can show that he’s someone who’s on the same boat as she is?”Charlene snuck out of the cab and entered the basement parking lot, making her way to the private passage. When she passed an employee by, she removed her mask to show them who she was. The employee regarded her with contempt and disgust, but they pushed the button to the highest floor and let her in silently.She reached the door to his office. Just one second before pushing the door open, she heard Sam shouting at his angriest. “We cou
Chapter 946 Why Cut Off Contact
Charlene hugged Brendan tightly and wept silently. He rubbed her back soothingly.His eyes were nonchalant and cold.“You’re only going through this because of me, aren’t you? With that in mind, how could I possibly sit on my hands while you go out there like that? Especially when the public is at its most merciless? If you go down there and explain it that way, your life will be lost forever.”Charlene sniffled as a twinkle of glee flitted through her eyes. It was just as she had suspected! Brendan would not leave her the moment she shed some tears.“But what are we going to do now? Your reputation… your name… they’re all ruined because of me! I don’t even dare return to the villa, Bren. I don’t know how to stand before Miss McKinnon and listen to her mocking me! I can’t bear it! The guilt… The agony…”“It’s not your fault.” Brendan comforted her. “It will pass.”Not that the journey to letting the entire event go would be easy. While they were locked in a comforting cuddle, B
Chapter 947 Hated the Wrong Person
The man seemed to realize it too, but he didn’t feel apologetic. Nevertheless, he did try to explain in a soothing tone, “I thought Brendan would make you bite the bullet, so I took the risk and did whatever I could so that Brendan had no time to deal with you while I got someone to take you out. After all, I should be giving you something good in return for your work for me.”Charlene wanted to laugh, but she appeared obedient when she replied, “When the incident happened, Brendan was indeed very disappointed in me. But because he still likes me, he temporarily let me stay in the mansion while trying to pour oil in troubled waters to protect me.”Unpredictable emotion was hiding in the man’s eyes when he said, “You should have contacted us from the beginning so we could have stopped the release of those photos at the conference.”Stopped? Weren’t they the ones who had released those photos? Now, they were turning the tables and pretending to be the good guys!Charlene was so furio
Chapter 948 I’ll Compensate You
If Ophelia was still alive, how could she have been controlled for six long years and yet have been unable to find a way to reach Deirdre?Lost in thought, she didn’t even notice the movement outside the windows. By the time the bathroom door was opened, it was too late.She tried to cover her naked body, but with merely her two arms, she couldn’t cover much.Even though wet hair stuck to her shoulders like glue, Deirdre had striking features, a stunning expression, and snow-white skin tone, which turned rather red as time passed.Brendan’s Adam’s apple moved as he looked at Deirdre’s graceful body. Even if he was a man of honor and integrity, it would be difficult for him to control himself at that moment.He took off his tie, removed his shirt, and squeezed under the showerhead with Deirdre.Feeling Brendan’s burning hot skin, Deirdre was startled and asked stutteringly, “What are you doing?”Brendan increased the flow rate of the showerhead and whispered in Deirdre’s ear, “Di
