Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 178 Ophelia is dead
However…A moment later, Charlene’s gaze turned sharp and her lips curled into a smirk in delight. Would Deidre still be so sharp-tongued when she found out about that matter?Charlene looked forward to that very much. Deirdre could not be bothered to beat about the bush anymore, so she turned around and headed upstairs after she finished her sentence. “Hold on, Ms. McKinnon!” Charlene beamed widely and said, “Don’t be in such a rush to leave. There’s something else that I wanted to tell you when I decided to come here today.”“It’s fine.” Deirdre continued to walk up the stairs. Charlene spoke slowly as she said, “Are you sure it’s fine? This is related to your mother.”Deirdre’s footsteps halted to a stop. ‘Mother?’Even though she knew that nothing good would ever come out of Charlene’s mouth, Deirdre still could not help stopping because she wanted information related to her mother so badly. Brendan had always kept a very tight lid on that. Despite speaking to her mo
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 179 I Would Like to See Her at Once
Charlene’s face was green and purple. She had almost fainted, and her lips were trembling. Deirdre still wanted to throw herself at Charlene but she was stopped by the man. Charlene said, “Haven’t you wondered why Brendan refuses to let you see Ophelia, Deirdre?! It’s because she is dead, of course! Her corpse has been burned to ashes! Hence, you won’t be meeting a dead person no matter how obedient you are. You may ask Brendan personally if you don’t believe me and see how he answers you!”Upon saying that, Deirdre knew that time was running out, so she turned around and left with the man. Deirdre sat on the rug by herself and felt icy coldness spreading through her body. There was confusion and fear in her eyes when she muttered to herself, “It can’t be… It can’t be…”“Brendan promised me that he would let my mother off if I agreed to be the scapegoat. How is she dead? How?”She attempted to convince herself over and over again, yet her mind was filled with past events constan
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 180 I Want to See Her in Person if She Is Alive and I Want to See Her Corpse if She Is Dead!
“You only need to answer me if my mother is still alive or not!” Deirdre was having an emotional breakdown. Her tears seeped into her mouth, and she could taste their bitterness. “Brendan! You promised! You promised me that you’d take care of my mother if I agreed to be Charlene’s scapegoat! If anything bad has happened to her, I will hate you for the rest of my life!”‘If anything bad has happened to her, I will hate you for the rest of my life!’Brendan’s mood was affected, and his breathing pattern changed as well. His voice sounded cold when he said, “No! Ophelia is still well and safe in the hospital! Deirdre, stop believing hearsay and learn to think in every situation. If Ophelia was dead, she’d be dead. Why would I lie to you about that?”Deirdre sobbed soundlessly and shook her head. She was almost hysterical. “I don’t know…”She had no idea why Brendan would need to lie to her, yet she had no choice but to believe the voice clip after everything that had happened recently
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 181 I Must’ve Lost My Mind a Long Time Ago
She believed that she would not end up the way she had when she had fallen from the second floor if she jumped from here. She had broken a few ribs but she had lived and been discharged from the hospital previously. She would die if she were to fall from this floor. However, Deirdre did not feel an ounce of fear in her heart as she felt the wind. She stepped over and sat on the ledge easily, her feet hanging in the air. It felt as if she had traveled back in time while playing with the water in the pond of the slums. She felt more joyous and relaxed than she had ever felt before. The doctor noticed that something was off and came rushing to the third floor. His expression turned pale with fear. “Ms. McKinnon! Don’t do anything rash! Come down here, quick!”“Don’t come near me.” Deirdre turned her head, her hair blowing in the wind, her gaze so empty that the sight of her was pitiful. “I will jump if you take one step closer to me!”The doctor was almost in tears, as no one wo

“I have something important to attend to. Postpone the meeting!”Sam was stunned, and his face turned pale. “Mr. Brighthall! You’ve been after this project for more than six months…”“I said, postpone it! Get me flight tickets immediately! We’re going back to Neve!”Sam had also noticed that something was off. “What’s going on in Neve?”“Deirdre is threatening to commit suicide on the third floor of the villa.”He wanted to hop on a flight to return to Neve, but doing so was not as simple as he thought it would be. There was no available flight now, and the earliest flight would take off at midnight. He would need to wait five more hours. Forget about five hours. Deirdre might not necessarily be able to withstand three hours in the cold wind given her health condition. Brendan could only arrange for a private jet, so more than two hours had already passed by the time he arrived in Neve. He ran through all the red lights on the way home and found the woman’s emaciated figure

Hence, Sam ran over instinctively with his arm outstretched and grabbed Deirdre’s wrist the very moment Deirdre jumped without the slightest hesitation. He only discovered how absurdly skinny the woman was the moment he grabbed her wrist. She was all skin and bones. “Ms. McKinnon! Give me your other hand! Quick!”Deirdre’s expression, which had been filled with despair, finally changed ever so slightly when she heard Sam’s voice, but it was only a minute change. Tears kept flowing out of the corners of her eyes constantly. She raised her head and said with feigned calmness, “Sam, I treat you well usually. If you really want to do something good for me, loosen your grip, okay? It’s too painful to live. Let me be with my mother and perform my duty as a daughter.”Sam felt an ache in his heart so painful that he could not speak. Brendan ran over with bloodshot eyes and clutched Deirdre’s arm tightly.No one knew this, but Brendan had felt his sinking heart halt to a stop the very
Resent, Reject, Regret Chapter 184 Is She Really Still Alive
“While there’s life, there’s hope?” This was simply the biggest irony to Deirdre. She had been trying to live with great effort all this time, yet in exchange for her effort, she had been dragged into this hell of despair. “My mother is dead, and I’ve been turned into this creature. You tell me… What else is there to hope for?”She loathed Sam for saying ‘while there’s life, there’s hope’ so easily. ‘Can’t he see that all that is left of my life is darkness?’“Are you still lying to me at this point?” Deirdre looked at him with hatred and despair. “Why didn’t you bring her with you if she is still alive? Brendan, does keeping me in the dark and using my mother to have a hold over me give you a sense of achievement?”Her hysterical episode made Brendan’s eyes redden, and he felt suffocated. He had not wanted Ophelia to die. But if he were to acknowledge her death, he would not only need to admit his mistake, but Deirdre would lose her hope to live too. She would loathe him an

Dr. Ginger ran over to Deirdre as well. He felt Deirdre’s forehead with his hand, his expression unpleasant as he said hastily, “Take her to the room! Ms. McKinnon’s body is too weak. She can’t stand the cold.”Brendan carried Deirdre down to her room and wrapped her body tightly in a blanket. He turned on the heater as well. The knot in the pit of his stomach felt relieved ever so slightly when he felt the warmth returning to the woman’s body. He left the rest to Dr. Ginger. Brendan headed outside for a smoke while Sam guarded the door. He said with difficulty when he noticed Brendan, “Mr. Brighthall…”He kept his head lowered, his expression overwhelmed with emotions. He hesitated for a long time before he finally said, “Is Ms. McKinnon’s mother… still alive?”Brendan turned his head and took a cold glance at him. He had a cold, threatening look in his eyes. “What are you trying to tell me?”Sam pursed his lips. “If Ms. McKinnon’s mother is not alive anymore, this lie won’t l
