Chapter 864 Miss McKinnon Has…Pleaded Guilty!
“I’ve already told you from the start that if I were Miss McKinnon, I would not only hate you but also possibly kill you.”Brendan felt bitterness in his throat. “That is why I’ve always been doing my best to make up for my mistake, but I didn’t expect something like this to happen in the middle.”Declan said, “I feel that the only troubling part about this incident is that the shoving incident is real. If Charlene insists on the investigation, it will be very hard for Deirdre to walk free.”“However, Charlene isn’t injured severely. In addition, Miss McKinnon is pregnant, so she won’t be sent to prison. We will only need to delay the conviction, and we will stand a chance at turning the tables.”Brendan’s dark eyes dimmed. “I know. I’ve already tampered with the video clip by blurring it. In addition, the guests of the party are on my side. We can totally claim that Charlene was intoxicated and confused…”At the same time Declan nodded, he said hesitantly, “However, we will need
Chapter 865 Why Aren’t You the Dead One?
Deirdre was stunned for a short while. By the time she recovered from her surprise, she had assumed a sarcastic expression. “Aren’t I punishing you now?”Brendan was actually irrefutable.“Moreover, how is prison any different from being confined in your house to be with you? I feel that there’s more freedom to be in prison anyway. I don’t have to see you daily and be disgusted by you at the very least.”Deirdre’s remark was cruel. Brendan felt his head spinning, and he could not tell if he was feeling unpleasant or if he was ill. He clenched his fists tightly and suppressed his unusual demeanor.“Do you know what will happen after this?”Brendan’s eyes were bloodshot. “No one can guarantee your safety or survival when you’re in prison. The video clip of you shoving Charlene down the stairs is spreading all over the web, and everyone knows about it. You’ll be the murderer rejected by everyone when you’re released from prison. Do you still want to go through the previous experience
Chapter 866 How Am I Supposed to Believe You
Deirdre was astounded upon hearing that. “What do you mean?” Soon, Deirdre calmed down and stared at Brendan’s outline with a disappointed gaze. “What sort of trick are you up to again, Brendan?”Brendan was frustrated. He had done way too many things that made it very difficult for Deirdre to trust him. “I’m not. I know that you may find it hard to understand the situation, but I’m telling you the truth that Ophelia is still alive.”Deirdre’s fingers twitched. “Brendan, what is the point of you making up this lie? My mother’s death is an established truth…. that both you and the police are well aware of. You would have told me from the start if she were still alive. How can you possibly be hiding it from me until now!?”She was utterly disappointed. “How foolish do you think I am that I will believe in your lowly lie?”Brendan heaved a sigh softly and clenched his fists so tightly from the discomfort of his body until his veins bulged up. However, he still wanted to look nor
Chapter 867 Leave It to Me
“I have her photo, and I can confirm that it is not photoshopped. However, the plastic surgery techniques are advanced these days, and it is not utterly impossible to find one or two women that look like Ophelia in all of Berth.“I was afraid of giving you false hope only to disappoint you again, so I could only figure out a way to trace Ophelia’s whereabouts, yet I didn’t expect that…”Brendan did not finish his sentence, but Deirdre was well aware of what it was. He did not expect that she would be triggered by Charlene and push Charlene down the stairs. In truth, Deirdre was well aware that Charlene was mostly provoking her, but she could not care about that anymore at the time. If Charlene was the enemy who killed her mother, it would be her only chance to avenge her mother. Deirdre was having a hard time processing the information, but Brendan’s sincere words did not sound like a lie. “Brendan… Will I still be able to trust you one last time?”Brendan’s dimmed, dark eye
Chapter 868 Interview
“However, I’m quite curious how you managed to convince Miss McKinnon to the point she is willing to follow your instruction to withdraw her guilty plea.”Brendan looked at the dripping intravenous drip and said calmly, “I told her the truth. I told her everything without holding back anything.”Declan was surprised. “Is that so? In truth, you should have done that from the start. However, you’re always carrying burdens by yourself. I find it quite surprising that you would choose to tell Miss McKinnon and let her share your burden… It seems that she is really important to you.”Brendan cracked a smile. The answer was obvious without the need to speak. Declan could not help feeling envious. “When will I have a relationship like this? It’s a waste that this relationship is too heavy and risky.”Brendan thought about all sorts of things that happened between him and Deirdre.He used to think that relationships were troublesome in the past. He cared about Charlene, but he knew deep
Chapter 869 Pressure From the Board of Directors
However, the situation was dire. Let alone seeing Deirdre in court, Brendan would be surrounded just by leaving the house. Brendan was so furious about the upsurge of the online community’s opinion on executing Deirdre that he smashed his phone. Declan suppressed his unpleasant expression. “Frankly, it is apparent that Charlene is fully prepared to make use of public opinion to exert pressure on the case.”Nonetheless, it was the truth. It was already very difficult for Deirdre to get away now. Sam asked, “Do we still need to release the video clip?”“That won’t work anymore.” Declan said, “Charlene has already acknowledged the incident publicly. If we were to claim that the woman in the video clip is not Deirdre, it would only infuriate the community even more.“Sam, hire keyboard warriors to draw the online community’s attention to the fact that Charlene can no longer dance so that Charlene can draw in a bunch of support. Then, post a few scandals that expose some celebritie
Chapter 870 If Something Bad Were to Happen to You, What Would Happen to Her Then?
The group of people changed their expressions drastically out of astonishment. “The online community is making a huge fuss. There is no other feasible way to appease the community’s anger other than this!”Brendan remained polite. He rolled up his sleeves and spoke in a cold voice. “You’ll know whether there is a feasible way when you see the solution. I’m here today to warn everyone to keep their mouths shut. After all, we are all in the same boat, and our main priority is to stabilize the company.”Everyone fell silent when his voice died away.Meanwhile, a staff member knocked on the door, and there was already sweat running down his face. “Mr. Brighthall!”“Speak.”“Mr. Jensen is… I don’t know what is wrong with him. He’s spreading rumors downstairs that you have an intimate relationship with Miss McKinnon. That both of you are not only living together but also… that you’ve slept with each other before. He claims that Miss McKinnon is your mistress who became jealous because y
Chapter 871 Make Her Suffer
A faint smile shadowed Brendan’s lips. “Thank you.” He meant it.Madame Brighthall said nothing. She left. But the controversy did not end there. Mr. Jensen’s speech had kicked up a storm. As Brendan shut his laptop, Sam remarked, “I have a feeling Mr. Jensen planned all of this down to the little speech he gave. He even had pictures of Miss McKinnon living in the villa so he could strike at the affair’s angle.”“It’s that coward’s only way to stay alive after the grave he dug,” Brendan growled frigidly. The pain seemed to be drilling into his temple, emboldened by the sheer torrent of imbroglios that were all rebelling against Brendan’s control. “And Deirdre?”“Miss McKinnon should be released today, but… I think she’s still in there.”“I see. I’ll be going to see her then. She must be so scared.”-It was the afternoon. A young woman caressed the clothes she had been folding and waited for the police. The door opened, and she heard her name. “McKinnon?”She rose, taking
