Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105 You’ll Regret This One Day

Night City?

Deirdre was aghast. As a local of this city, she knew exactly where this was. It was an entertainment establishment on the outside, but it was more of a sanctuary for the rich and powerful. Nothing was off-limits within Night City as long as nobody

died.

Her face turned pale. “Why did you bring me here, Brendan?” she cried as she struggled to wriggle herself free.

Brendan could not possibly let her go so easily. His fingernails burrowed into her wrist like shackles. He yanked her close to himself and whispered, “Too late, Deirdre. You almost cost Lena her life. That isn’t something I’m gonna handwave away.”

“But I didn’t!”

Brendan shot her an icy glare. It had been three days, yet she still held onto her lie. He loosened his grip suddenly and said, “You wanna leave here, go ahead. I just wonder what’s gonna happen to Sterling if you go.”

Deirdre was stopped dead in the middle of her bid to run away. Her chest ached as though someone was tearing it open with their bare hands. Her eyes reddened as she cried, “You’re cruel.”

Brendan sneered. “Nowhere as adept in cruelty as you are, Deirdre. You would do anything to slander Lena, even hurting yourself.”

Deirdre clenched her fists before looking up to meet his scornful smirk with despair. “ One day, when you realize that Charlene is behind all of this… Will you regret all that you’ve done?”

Brendan felt as though his heart was being yanked from under its feet. “That day will never come because it isn’t true! Charlene doesn’t concoct schemes. As for me?”

He loomed close to Deirdre and fixed his eyes straight through her face. He enunciated every single word emphatically, “I don’t have regrets. Ever!”

“Okay.” She smiled. “You’ll regret nothing.”

Every second of that smile drove Brendan up the wall. He turned on his heels, avoiding it, and barked, “Come on!”
