Chapter 99 Ms. McKinney’s Note

“Why would you ask this question?” Brendan’s sharp brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

Deirdre tightened her grip with all her might.

She used to believe that Brendan was a heartless, cold-blooded man who would do

such a thing to her, of course. However, she was slightly doubtful now.

If Brendan had been involved in that incident in an effort to avenge Charlene, why would he force Charlene to apologize to her? He had been impartial to Charlene, just as he had promised.

“You need to answer me, yes or no!”

“No.” Even though Brendan was incredulous, he gave her an answer. Soon, he sneered and said, “Is that how you think of me in your heart?”

‘No?’

Deirdre’s thoughts in her head were a chaotic mess. She could only distract herself from her thoughts to calm herself down by focusing on the intense pain in her hands.

“Deirdre, what’s on your mind? If I had abducted you, would I be searching for the heavy rain after a sleepless night? Would I have eaten the old man’s…”

Brendan’s pupils constricted abruptly. ‘What was I talking about?’ This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Deirdre was confused. “What did you eat?”

Brendan appeared to be fed up. “Nothing. However, do you think that it’s necessary for me to lie to you?”

‘It is unnecessary.

‘Brendan is the only person who doesn’t need to lie because he can’t be bothered and it’s unnecessary. I can’t run away from him anyhow.’

Hence, those people had put on an act for her on purpose. Why would they do that? Were they trying to make her feel like Brendan had set up the abduction so she would bear a grudge against him?

All of a sudden, she was overwhelmed by the torrent of emotions in her chest. Deirdre turned her body and lay down. Her mind was utterly perplexed, as she had blamed the wrong person for this incident.

“Deirdre!” Brendan took a step forward with a frown when Deirdre lay down all of a

sudden. “You still haven’t told me why you’re asking me about this. Did someone tell you that I was the one who set up the abduction?”

Deirdre opened her eyes because she had figured it all out. If Brendan had not set up the abduction, it must have been Charlene.

She clenched her fists tightly. She could not do anything to Charlene now, but Brendan may be able to do something.

“Why do you think I choked Charlene that night?”

Brendan’s deep, dark eyes were trembling in his eye sockets. His eyes were filled with emotions. “That’s impossible!”

“She told me so. She said you did it to avenge her and took photos of me being raped so you could enjoy looking at them with her!” At this point, she felt the urge to laugh. “I told you that you don’t have a keen sense when it comes to people, Brendan.

“If you don’t believe me, why don’t you ask her in person?”

Brendan ran out of the room in a rush and drove his car to Charlene’s villa swiftly, yet he could not see any light coming from the villa.

No one answered when he knocked on the door. Just as he was about to leave, he saw the woman lying on the ground through the window.

Charlene had consumed a large amount of sleeping pills, so she was admitted to the emergency room when she was sent to the hospital.

After administering emergency treatment for a long time, the doctor walked out, drenched in sweat. “That was really close. Her heart almost stopped. It is fortunate that she was found in a timely manner. She wouldn’t have lived if she had been

discovered any later.”

“Mr. Brighthall.” Sam walked over to pass him a piece of paper. “This is… This is the note left by Ms. McKinney in her room.”

Brendan clenched his fists tightly and took the note slowly.

Bren, this is probably the last time I get to call you by your name. I didn’t expect this day to come. You doubted me and refused to listen to my explanation. I understand that Ms. McKinnon must have told you something. I will prove to you with my death that I never tried to hurt Ms. McKinnon.
