Brendan took his sweet time to say, “I think that an intelligent woman will learn to accommodate to circumstances, mind her own business, and live every day in a clear and ordered manner. What do you think?”Deirdre batted her eyelashes, and her beautiful face was tainted with unyieldingness. “I think that a normal woman will not agree to be hidden from the truth like a fool. After all, she is a person, not a pet, to be manipulated by others.”Brendan stared at her for a long time while he kept quiet. In the end, he heaved a sigh softly and said, “Don’t worry. Go and rest upstairs. Everything is going to be fine.”Deirdre’s eyes glistened. “Really.”“If I say that everything is going to be fine, I’m not lying to you, of course. We can’t go back to Neve within a short period. Cillian is injured, and the Kings will need to regain their influence anyhow. Hence, you need to be hidden from the public on the cusp of the transition. When the time is right, we’ll go back to Neve, and they

Cillian did not fall for her trick. He sneered and said, “You can’t escape from your responsibility in this matter, Miss McKinnon. If you were to behave yourself and go along with my plan, I wouldn’t need to go as far as to be punished like this.”As he was speaking, he could not help but inhale sharply. He cupped his extremely swollen face, and a look of malice flashed past his eyes. “However, don’t you worry, Miss McKinnon. Brendan is definitely not having it easier than you.”Deirdre could fully confirm that Cillian’s target was Brendan judging by his speech.She said, “You loathe Brendan so much. I’m curious why you didn't capture Brendan but came for me instead?”Cillian cracked a taunting smile. “Are you really confused, or are you acting confused? Brendan loves you so much. Will he remain unconcerned if he finds out that you’ve been abducted? He will surely sacrifice everything he can, even if it means that he has to bow down to me just to ensure your safety!”Deirdre was c

He had not expected the woman before him to have the nerve to play mind games with him at a moment like this.“I know exactly what you are thinking. You want to run away, right? I can’t believe that you would stoop so low as to use this kind of excuse. What makes you think that I’ll work with Brendan’s woman?”“The devil takes the hindmost. Maybe a second earlier, I was still Brendan’s woman, but since he refused to come to my rescue to save himself, why shouldn't I find another way to save myself?” Deirdre said candidly. She laid herself bare and added, “Mr. King, all I care about is my own safety. To achieve my goal, I’m willing to do anything I can, including betray Brendan.” Cillian squinted his eyes. There was a voice in his mind telling him to guard himself against the woman before him. After all, not everyone could stay as calm as she had when she had been abducted.That being said, he was curious about the things that Deirdre had said.“Then how are you going to take reve

Even though Deirdre had expected it, her heart still sank a little when the bodyguard told her about it.She had not expected a heartless person like Brendan to show her any compassion, but she had not expected him to leave in his car without any hesitation when she was in danger either.‘He really is the most heartless man I’ve ever met,’ Deirdre thought as her eyes were filled with mockery. “Okay,” she replied. “I know what kind of person Brendan is, so you can tell Mr. King. As long as he can ensure my safety, I have plenty of ways to bring him down from his throne.” The bodyguard turned around and left. Deirdre was still sitting on the bed in the same position even when he came back from the grocery store. Her face was hidden in the shadows, so he could not see her expression right now.He felt a little bit sorry for her, so he said in a gentle voice, “Don’t worry. As long as everything you said is true and you’re willing to cooperate with Mr. King, he won’t hurt you.”Deir

However, things were different now. She had Kyran with her. If she died, Kyran would be devastated. At the very least, she wanted to say a final goodbye to Kyran before she died. “You want to live? Does Brendan want you to live?” Cillian scoffed. “Well, you can’t blame anyone but yourself. After all, you were the one who chose him to be your man.”Deirdre’s eyelashes trembled. A pang shot through her chest, and she gasped out in pain.“I met with the wrong person. Please give me another chance,” she said.“Another chance?” Cillian grabbed her hair and enunciated each word. “You don’t have any chance anymore!”He took off his tie. “You’ve exhausted my patience. Initially, I planned to have some fun with you. I might keep you for a few more days if you serve me well today. If not, I'll send you to the owner of Mystic Midnight today and force you to serve other people right away!”After he finished speaking, he stretched his arm forward to tear Deirdre's shirt. He was furious. He
