Chapter 169 She Didn’t Hurt Anyone

Charlene no longer expected anything else to happen tonight. She bit her lip and left. However, as she was leaving, her eyes were filled with intense hatred.

Damn Deirdre! Deirdre had not only spoiled her good deed, but she had also almost made Brendan doubt her. Charlene was determined not to forgive this b*tch!

After Charlene left, the huge room instantly looked empty. Brendan strode away, and when he took two steps down the stairs, Deirdre gritted her teeth and said, “You knew it. You knew that Charlene was

related to this matter.”

Brendan stopped moving.

His frigid face was full of complicated feelings, and his brows were furrowed. He turned and locked eyes. with Deirdre. “What do you want to say?” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“It’s simple.” Deirdre gritted her teeth. “Are you protecting Charlene just because you love her? Just because she is the one in your heart, you can turn a blind eye even if others are hurt?!”

Brendan remained silent for two seconds before he replied with a frown. “What do you want me to do then? Do you want me to get Charlene to bow to you in apology? Deirdre, don’t you forget that you’re the one who led her to commit suicide. Therefore, it’s normal for her to have resentment in her heart. Plus, she only killed a dog. She didn’t hurt anyone!”

“Didn’t hurt… anyone?”

Deirdre’s mind went blank. She only felt heartache. Sharp heartache.

Charlene had not only caused her to stay with a hunting hound in a storehouse and almost die on a rainy night, but she had also tortured and humiliated her. Did that mean that Charlene hadn’t hurt anyone?

Or that Deirdre was not human in Brendan’s eyes?

When Brendan saw her face suddenly turn as pale as a white sheet and her emaciated figure tottering, he felt a trace of an unbearable feeling.

“I’ll compensate you.” Finally, he said, “Just let this matter end here, offset by Lena’s suicide attempt. I’ll pay for what she did. Just tell me what you want and I’ll give you what I can.”

What did he mean? Did he want to utilize his wealth to stop her?

Eyes red, Deirdre bellowed hysterically, ‘What do I want? I want you dead, and I want Charlene dead too!”

But she knew she didn’t have the right to do so. It was already utterly benevolent of Brendan to willingly compensate her.

She slowly inhaled while suppressing her internal trembling and raised her head. “I want to see my mother.

Brendan’s black pupils constricted abruptly, and he rejected her idea instantly without a second thought. No, it’s impossible!”

Deirdre was surprised. “Why? Why is it impossible? I’m not asking for much. Can’t I just take a glance at

her?!”

Brendan’s breath became disordered, pulling his suit tighter. It took him a while to calm down and explain, “She is still recuperating and she’s staying very far away. If you want to see her, you’ll have to travel a long distance.

“I can go over! You can get someone to look after me along the way. I just need to take a glance at my mother and I’ll leave immediately!”

“That’s not okay.” Brendan objected coldly. “Didn’t I tell you that your mother is currently recuperating? She will inevitably be agitated when she sees you. What should I do if her physical condition fluctuates?”

“Then when can I see her?” Deirdre’s eyes were redder now, but she refused to shed tears. She clasped her fists hard as she asked, “If she’s not well, will I never see her again?”

“No.” Brendan pursed his lips into a straight line. “How about I call your mother’s doctor and have you talk.

to him?”
