Deirdre leaned on his side and answered, “Nothing much. Mr. King is here to thank me for his younger brother’s incident.”At the mention of Declan, Brendan furrowed his eyebrows and said in an extremely displeased tone, “It was inappropriate for me to speak in the witness of everyone earlier. What is your relationship with Declan that you have to help him like that? You made up a poor excuse even.”He sounded jealous, as if he was extremely displeased about his woman showing herself in public to defend another man. Cillian’s expression was unfathomable, while Deirdre said in a coquettish tone, “What do you mean by I made a poor excuse? You can ask Mr. King whether Declan helped me if you don’t believe me.”“She’s right.” Cillian recovered from his surprise and nodded. “A drunkard charged into the female toilet and behaved unkindly toward Miss McKinnon. My younger brother went to stop the drunkard after hearing the commotion. I immediately sent someone to deal with the drunkard as

Deirdre did not drink, indeed. She would only put on an act by holding a glass without taking a sip.She was afraid that she would get drunk, make a fool of herself, and do something strange in Brendan’s presence. She was even more afraid that the man would behave indecently toward her and that she would not be able to resist him. Yet now, there was no telling if she was trying to help out Declan or if she wanted to get a drink. She smiled and said, “It’s fine. I’ll be fine with just a few sips.”Cillian narrowed his eyes subconsciously upon hearing that. His gaze dimmed bit by bit as he watched them clink glasses until only a veiled glint glistened in his eyes.They did not manage to chat much before Brendan came back. His flawlessly handsome face was filled with coldness.Brendan had his hands in his pockets, and he took a glance at Declan before looking away coldly. “We should leave, Deirdre.”“Sure.” Deirdre placed down the glass. “Mr. King, Declan, it’s getting late. We’r

“Are you afraid that the family will make a fool of itself, or are you worried that you’ll feel for her?” Cillian tutted and said, “It’s a waste that she is already your sister-in-law, even if you feel for her. She is a toy that I can fumble with when I like while you can’t even lay a finger on her!”“Cillian…” All of Laura’s blood drained from her face. “Don’t say that.”“What’s wrong with me saying that? Could it be that everything I said was false?” Cillian said in an arrogant tone and provocatively stared at Declan.Declan looked away and did not speak. He turned around to get himself water when Cillian said unexpectedly, “You’re acquainted with that McKinnon girl, right?”Before Declan could answer, Cillian said with narrowed eyes, “You didn’t react for the slightest bit back then, yet you didn’t mind offending Ronan just to help a girl you’re not acquainted with?”Cillian still remembered clearly when Declan ran into the room to find Laura and him on the same bed. He had ass

Deirdre was distracted from her thoughts. She was about to get up when Brendan took the lead to open the door and saw the bellboy standing at the door.The bellboy smiled and said respectfully, “Hello, Mr. Brighthall. Our hotel is organizing a party at the pool. The scenery there is amazing. Our manager sent me to inquire whether you’re interested in having dinner there. We can book a reservation for you.”“Party?”“Yes, it’s a fun event that we organize once every six months.”Brendan turned his head to take a glance at Deirdre. It was bad for her to stay in the room frequently, and she needed to walk around more often, so he nodded. “Book a reservation for me tonight. I’ll be there.”Brendan and Deirdre headed to the pool area during dinner time. They were very quiet all the time when they had nothing else to talk about. Even when they were seated at their seats and listening to others chatting leisurely, Deirdre did not have the desire to speak.She abided by Brendan’s ord

After all, that man was Brendan Brighthall!Apart from having no concern about living a good life after marrying him, she would be respected and envied by others no matter where she was. She would not need to suck up to the Woods, be subservient to Joan, and live on Joan’s leftovers. “It’s no pity. My family still has a strong hold in Eastgene without Brendan,” said Joan. “I hope that one of you can get on with Brendan. We’re besties, so we can help out each other when one of us marries Brendan. It’s a waste that…”She heaved a sigh. “It’s a waste what?” Zinerva’s interest was piqued, and she grew restless in her heart when she heard Joan’s sigh. “It’s a waste that Brendan is already in a relationship.” Joan looked toward Deirdre. “It’s the woman seated opposite Brendan. She’s beautiful, isn’t she? She is a nobody and blind. Yet, she managed to make Brendan take her to an upper-class party just with her beauty. He is very affectionate to her.”Zinerva stared at Deirdre’s face
