She believed that she would not end up the way she had when she had fallen from the second floor if she jumped from here.

She had broken a few ribs but she had lived and been discharged from the hospital previously. She would die if she were to fall from this floor.

However, Deirdre did not feel an ounce of fear in her heart as she felt the wind. She stepped over and sat on the ledge easily, her feet hanging in the air.

It felt as if she had traveled back in time while playing with the water in the pond of the slums. She felt more joyous and relaxed than she had ever felt before.

The doctor noticed that something was off and came rushing to the third floor. His expression turned pale with fear. “Ms. McKinnon! Don’t do anything rash! Come down here, quick!”

“Don’t come near me.” Deirdre turned her head, her hair blowing in the wind, her gaze so empty that the sight of her was pitiful. “I will jump if you take one step closer to me!”

The doctor was almost in tears, as no one would be able to save her life if she fell from that place.

He attempted to console Deirdre with all his might. “I won’t come closer, I won’t come closer! However, this is not a game, Ms. McKinnon. If you like the wind, I’ll take you for a stroll outside. It’s too dangerous here. What will happen to you if you fall?”

“What will happen if I fall?” Deirdre was stunned for a moment. Then, she smiled and answered, “I’ll die, of course. However, Dr. Ginger, do you think I’m scared of death? How am I any different from a dead man. when I’m living like this?”

She spoke nonchalantly at a speed that was not too fast or too slow. It seemed as if she would be utterly fearless if she fell off the villa the next moment.

Dr. Ginger’s back was drenched in sweat when he heard that, and his facial muscles were shaking. “Don’t do that to yourself, Ms. McKinnon. There are always people you care about in this world!”

The words stabbed Deirdre’s heart, and she teared up from laughing.

‘People I care about? One of the people I care about had his future ruined by Brendan, and the other one’s life is uncertain. Who else could I care about at this point?”

“You don’t need to try to convince me. Call Brendan and make him bring my mother to meet me at once.” Deirdre touched the ice-cold stone ledge. “Otherwise, I won’t get down.”

“Sure, sure, sure! You must stay there, Ms. McKinnon. I will call Mr. Brighthall at once!”

The call was picked up, and Dr. Ginger briefed Brendan on the situation. Brendan pulled a long face and instructed Dr. Ginger to put the call on speaker.

“Deirdre! Have you lost your mind?! You’re actually threatening me with your life?! Get down quickly!” Brendan roared in rage and heard the howling wind on the other end of the line. He could tell that the wornan was standing on the balcony.

At the thought of the openness of that area, he could not help shivering once.

Deirdre appeared to be immune to Brendan’s anger. She chuckled and said, “To be honest, I must’ve lost my mind a long time ago, Brendan. If I hadn’t lost my mind, I would have known that you’ve been keeping

me in the dark

you that “Who’s trying to keep you in the dark, huh!” Brendan could not explain his agitation. “I told Ophelia is still alive, didn’t I? Wait for me to return when I’m done with everything here…”

“That’s enough. I don’t want to listen to your lies anymore!” Deirdre lowered her gaze, and her expression could not be seen anymore. “I begged you to let Ophelia say ‘happy birthday’ to me on my birthday, and you refused to do that… Brendan, I won’t be foolish anymore. I won’t get down if you don’t bring Ophelia. If I fall off accidentally and die, that’ll be great too. Then, you’ll fulfill your wish to marry Charlene.” Upon saying that, Deirdre ignored Brendan. Brendan felt his heart wrench in pain when he heard her ‘fall off and die’ remark. He felt a mixture of agitation and restlessness and wished that he could hop on a plane to head back to Neve immediately.

Sam opened the door of the boardroom, his expression solemn. “Mr. Brighthall, you interrupted the meeting twice, and the other party is already very displeased. They demand that you get back at once…”
