However…

A moment later, Charlene’s gaze turned sharp and her lips curled into a smirk in delight.

Would Deidre still be so sharp-tongued when she found out about that matter?

Charlene looked forward to that very much.

Deirdre could not be bothered to beat about the bush anymore, so she turned around and headed upstairs after she finished her sentence.

“Hold on, Ms. McKinnon!” Charlene beamed widely and said, “Don’t be in such a rush to leave. There’s something else that I wanted to tell you when I decided to come here today.”

“It’s fine.” Deirdre continued to walk up the stairs.

Charlene spoke slowly as she said, “Are you sure it’s fine? This is related to your mother.”

Deirdre’s footsteps halted to a stop. ‘Mother?’

Even though she knew that nothing good would ever come out of Charlene’s mouth, Deirdre still could not help stopping because she wanted information related to her mother so badly.

Brendan had always kept a very tight lid on that. Despite speaking to her mother’s attending physician on the phone the other day, she knew nothing.

She turned her head and said, “What is it?”

Charlene’s red lips curled up into a proud smile. “It’s hard for me to explain this, so I’ll just have to something.”

She tapped on the voice clip she had prepared on her phone. Accompanied by a buzzing electrostatic noise, a voice said, “A middle-aged woman fell to death from the third floor of East Neve’s Prunus Estate villa, unit 209, recently.”

There was confusion in Deirdre’s eyes. ‘East Neve’s Prunus Estate villa, unit 209… Why does this address sound so familiar…”

The voice clip continued to play. “It is said that the woman had a mental illness and slipped and fell accidentally when no one was home…”

‘Mental illness?’

All of a sudden, Deirdre’s mind went blank and her expression turned extremely unpleasant instantly.

“That’s impossible… That’s impossible!” She ran over and tugged on Charlene’s arm. “What kind of wild tales are you cooking up again! Charlene McKinney, I’m warning you not to joke about my mother’s life! She used to live in Prunus Estate in the past but she doesn’t live there anymore! How could she have fallen to death there!”

Charlene looked at Deirdre’s confused, emotional expression and smiled wider. “I forgot to tell you that this news was broadcast a year ago, Deirdre. On the day you were released from prison. Your mother fell to her death, and her corpse was kept in the morgue at the time. No one claimed her. It’s a pity that you’re blind, or I could show you the photos.”

Deirdre felt her heart wrench in pain and attempted to calm herself with great effort. “Do you think I’ll believe your nonsense? My mother is still alive!”

“Have you considered why you haven’t met your mother after one and a half years if she is still alive? Has

Brendan ever set up a meeting between you two?”

Deirdre’s pupils were shaking frantically. “That is… That is because my mother is still receiving treatment!”

Charlene sniggered. “Deirdre, why would you believe a lie that he made up to deceive you? My voice clip. was released by the most reliable news reporter. Ophelia is dead!”

“Shut up!” Deirdre threw herself at Charlene and pinned her on the ground before clutching her throat tightly. There was no telling where she mustered the strength to do so. Her eyes were bloodshot as she said, “Shut up! I won’t believe a word that comes out of your mouth! You’re a malicious dog killer! What can’t you do? You killed Bliss and now you’re trying to fabricate my mother’s death. Die, Charlene!” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Anger amplified Deirdre’s strength instantly.

Charlene was panic-stricken, as the feeling of suffocation was growing stronger. Then, the person guarding the villa came in and shoved away Deirdre in a haste.

“Ms. McKinney? Are you okay?” He helped Charlene to her feet quickly.
