Chapter 814 Exposed Photo

‘You’re talking about the Brighthall Group?”

“Yeah, when I first saw him, I thought he was a good man since he is so good-looking and has a successful career. I didn’t expect him to do something like that. Just like people always say, you can’t judge a book by its cover.”

‘Yeah, but I don’t think this is something strange at all. After all, he’s so powerful that he can do whatever he wants, and that’s not something we common people can do anything about. I just feel a little bit disgusted. He can make the law bend to his will just because he has some power.”

‘That’s right. Now that everyone in the city knows about it, he can’t run away anymore. Well, he deserves it. If it weren’t for the whistleblower, all of us would still be in the dark…”

Deirdre stopped in her tracks.

Mrs. Engel also heard their conversation, and she asked, “Mrs. Brighthall, are they talking about Mr. Brighthall?” “I have no idea either…” Deirdre’s head was a muddled mess.

Those people’s words were filled with disgust and stung her ears. By right, Brendan had a rather good reputation, so she did not know what had happened and had a bad feeling about it.

‘Did something happen? What is the news that they’re talking about?” “Mrs. Engel, do you have any apps on your phone that can read the news?’ “Does a browser count?”

‘Yeah, can you try to search for Brendan’s name?”

Mrs. Engel lowered her head and fumbled through her phone. After she typed Brendan’s name into the search bar, her face turned pale. “What the h *ll is this!?’

Deirdre’s face sank. “What happened?” “Mrs. Brighthall, your photo… It’s on the Internet!” said Mrs. Engel, her voice filled with disbelief.

Deirdre’s head buzzed. She felt as if something had exploded in her head, but she soon calmed herself down.

“What does the news say?”

Mrs. Engel was becoming angrier and angrier as she read the news. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

However, fear soon replaced her anger as she said, “How… How can this be happening?”

Deirdre grabbed Mrs. Engel’s hand and realized that she was shaking. Her heart sank, and she asked, “Tell me what happened, Mrs. Engel.” “Mrs. Bright hall… It’s about your release from prison!” Mrs. Engel said anxiously, “These people say that

Mr. Brighthall abused his power by bribing the police department to get you out of prison. They even spread your photo all over the Internet! These people… How could they say something like that? They know nothing at all. Some of them even formed a protest group and want to send you back to prison…”

Mrs. Engel continued to say something, but Deirdre could not hear anything anymore.

‘My photos are all over the Internet? Everyone is protesting and wanting to send me back to prison?”

Deirdre took a deep breath. She had been worried about something like this in the past, but she did not expect it to come so soon and suddenly.

Before she could figure out who had the guts to go against Brendan and spread the thing out, she lowered her head and grabbed Mrs. Engel.

“Quickly, bring me back.”

Mrs. Engel knew that something big was about to happen. She grabbed Deirdre’s hands, and they hurriedly walked toward the grocery store’s entrance. However, someone with a sharp eye stopped them before they could make it out of the grocery store.

“Hold on for a moment. You look familiar. Aren’t you Mr. Brighthall’s ex- wife?” Everyone in the grocery store turned their heads around and looked at them. They all stopped Deirdre and Mrs. Engel from leaving and began comparing her look with a photo.

“It’s really her! She ran someone over with her car and could still be released from prison? What the h*ll are those people in the police department doing?” “She ran over someone’s daughter and can still come out to shop!? Shameless!”
