That was the end of this topic. Brendan asked, "What happened at Eastgene? Deirdre told me that you have something to ask me."Declan told everything that had happened at Eastgene. In the end, he pleaded, “You’ll have to help me. That mother and daughter have always regarded me as a thorn in their flesh. They are afraid that I’ll inherit the King family's inheritance, and they will definitely do something about it. Brendan, I can’t lose that inheritance.”Declan would always speak calmly, tactfully, and professionally, but at that moment, his tone was icy, proving his determination.“Don’t worry; I’ll definitely help you.”When he heard Brendan’s promise, Declan was relieved. “I’ll get a little bit more sleep. I haven’t got enough rest after chatting the whole day.”“Sure.”Upon ending the call, Brendan didn’t look as relaxed as his tone was.He was prepared to divorce Deirdre, but if he were to divorce Deirdre now, it would be a waste of time for Declan.After some thought, he

But now, she no longer was that petty and low Deirdre who couldn’t survive without Brendan.She now had Kyran and a new home.And the past should be left behind.When Brendan gradually fell asleep, Deidre still didn’t feel sleepy. Clasping her phone, she got up and found a convenient place to make a call.Carefully, she dialed Kyran’s phone number and put the phone near her ear. But nobody picked up the call.She called twice before putting it back into her pocket with surprise.Kyran barely did this. Usually, he would answer her call almost immediately. Hence, he gave Deirdre the wrong feeling that he would be there for her whenever she needed him.When she thought further, Kyran might have already gone to rest since it was now midnight in Germia.Following the same path, Deirdre returned to her seat and saw a blurred figure standing there. When she was nearer, the flight attendant greeted her. “Hello, miss. Someone might be looking for him because his phone had been ringing.”

This dress could be said to have wrapped Deirdre’s entire body.The stylist wanted to say that making Deirdre look good at the party would not be easy, and her good figure couldn’t be seen.However, she could only let Deirdre try it because Brendan insisted.It turned out that Deirdre looked perfect in the dress.Deirdre's exquisite figure was tightly wrapped in black cloth, making her appear hot and charming. She looked outstandingly attractive with her fair skin, beautiful and glamorous facial features, fiery red lips, and faintly visible long legs at the split end were even more eye-catching.The stylist thought Brendan was a busybody, but when she saw the result, she couldn’t help but compliment the choice. “Mr. Brighthall, your fashion sense is so great. Though the pattern of the sheath evening gown is simple, the effect of Ms. McKinnon wearing it is a lot better!”However, Brendan was frowning heavily.The stylist hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mr. Brighthall, are you

“Oh, thank you.” Laura felt flattered. Her presence at the banquet was so minimal that it was neglectable. As such, it was rare for someone to care about her preferences.She said with a smile, "Miss McKinnon, with you being so beautiful, your sense should be good too. I'm very honored."Deirdre returned Laura’s compliment with a smile.What followed was business networking. Deirdre minimized her presence by just standing aside, smiling, and nodding.Cillian seemed to have a strong intention to cooperate with Brendan. He mentioned his intention many times, but Brendan indirectly rejected them. Following that, Cillian talked about Declan.“My younger brother is too ignorant. He's as naive as a child. He actually broke his relationship with you just because he didn't agree with you about one thing and kept talking about you behind your back."As soon as Cillian said that, Brendan showed a trace of disgust and impatience on his face. "We are not suitable to be friends, but I don't b

“Are you lying, Mr. Brighthall? I have not heard anyone talking about this woman before. How could she be your wife suddenly!?”The smile in Brendan’s eyes gradually faded away, and his handsome face became calm as he rebutted, “Why would I lie to you?”“But—”“Joan!” Mr. Wood reprimanded Joan before he turned to Brendan and said smilingly, “My daughter can get excited easily. It’s a good thing that you’ve got yourself a wife. Please do invite us when you organize a wedding.”Only then did Brendan curl the corner of his lips. "That’s for sure."After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mr. Wood took away Joan, whose eyes were reddened. Joan’s dissatisfied complaint was heard as they were leaving. “She is blind. Why…”Deirdre remained very calm upon hearing it. She only tilted her head as she said, “Since you aren’t interested in this girl, you can just refuse directly. Why did you use me as an excuse and make me an enemy?”Brendan didn’t care. “Because you’re easy to be utilized.”D
