Chapter 859 Cover Up

Charlene must not die. Otherwise, Deirdre couldn’t explain herself under so many eyewitnesses.

Seeing the scene, Brendan held tightly on the rail, so tightly that his veins were bulging.

He had taken a lot of precautions, but he didn’t manage to prevent Charlene from provoking Deirdre. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

When he saw someone taking pictures, Brendan subconsciously stood before Deirdre to protect her while his eyes filled with coldness.

“If I do remember correctly, you must be the chief editor of the Entertainment Weekly Magazine.” Squinting his eyes while looking at the man with the camera, Brendan warned, “If any photos are leaked today, I guarantee that Entertainment Weekly Magazine will vanish completely from Neve! You can try if you don’t believe it.”

The Entertainment Weekly Magazine was the largest media outlet in Neve. As the chief editor, the man had a lot of connections, so he could stop all media outlets from publishing the news as quickly as possible.

That was the reason Brendan purposely chose to threaten him.

The man was furious, yet he didn’t dare to retort. After all, the man knew that if he were to go against Brendan, he would be forced to live a life worse than death.

Nevertheless, some people were unconvinced by such a threat.

“Mr. Brighthall, so you are trying to seal our mouths to cover up for the murderer, aren’t you?”

As soon as someone took the lead to voice it out, the rest followed suit in expressing their dissatisfaction.

“Mr. Brighthall, we all clearly know about your capability. None of us can go against you, provided you want to cover it up. But are you sure you can cover it up? When the woman behind you can push someone down the balcony, she may do it again next time!” “Although it’s important for an entrepreneur to have capabilities, it’s more important to have a conscience. Mr. BrighthalI, it’s indeed immoral for you to cover up this incident. Moreover, no secret can be kept forever, especially when the woman has done it so openly. Are you sure no one will spill the beans?”

Suppressing the anger, Brendan said coldly, “Murderer? Who’s the murderer? How dare you say Charli is dead when she is still alive? In this case, there is no such thing as a murderer!”

The crowd was rendered speechless for a while.

“So, does it mean that you are covering up for that woman behind you?” ‘This is my family matter, and it’s not as complicated as you all are thinking. We will resolve it ourselves. Therefore, please take the whole scene as a charade, and we will continue the cooperation. As for whether the secret can be kept forever, I only know that we are capable of sealing our own lips. I don’t think anyone would want such a trivial matter to affect our cooperation in the future, right?”

The crowd looked at each other in blank dismay. In fact, not to mention that Charlene was still under emergency treatment, even if she died, it had nothing to do with them indeed.

Everyone was in the business field. Thus, why should they bother when even Brendan, Charlene’s fiance, wanted to cover it up?

The crowd fell silent.

Madame Brighthall came forward and said, “Let’s call it a day. Thank you for joining the banquet.”

Since Madame Brighthall had spoken, the guests left one after another. Brendan turned to Deirdre and saw her eyes still red. It was as if she was still immersing herself in her emotions.

“Deirdre.” Brendan reached out but was shaken off before he could touch her.

“Go away… You make me sick!” Deirdre could hardly speak.

She could grit her teeth and endure it no matter how Brendan bullied her. However, Brendan turned out to be an accomplice in her mother’s death. At that moment, she felt unprecedented hatred. She groped behind her back, found a lamp, grabbed it, and threw it at Brendan.
