Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137 What Now?

Deirdre pushed herself to get out of bed.

The phone in the living room was still shrieking incessantly-almost like an audio representation of suffering without end. She got out of bed with great difficulty and walked through the door. She then picked up the phone-

And Brendan’s annoyed snarl greeted her. “Took you long enough!”

Deirdre’s fingers tightened around the receiver. As if he had not played a part in this! It had been cold the day he had stripped her naked in his study and forcibly had sex with her. She had felt both chills and at heat rush after that and had unsurprisingly come down with a fever. Even now, she was working her way through a brain fog.

Not that he would care, anyway. All he cared about was spilling his seed and making himself feel good. To him, she had always been a subhuman at best.

“I have a headache. I just woke up,” she croaked.

Brendan snickered. “Would it kill you to cut back on your malingering? It’s almost late evening, for Christ’s sake.”

Deirdre pressed her lips and decided to change the subject. Suppressing her headache, she asked, “What do you want?”

“Charlene accidentally left her necklace at home instead of bringing it to the party. She needs that necklace because Mom gave it to her-it’s important. You’re at home, so come and deliver it here.”

“What?” Deirdre was taken aback. Had he just asked a blind woman to deliver Charlene’s necklace?

Her bewilderment was blurted out of her lips in the form of words before she knew it. “Brendan, I’m blind. Bringing her necklace to the party, unassisted, is a tall order for someone like me. It’d be better to send. someone back here to get it.”

Brendan frowned. “You think I’d let you out of the house if I weren’t desperate?” he retorted matter-of- factly. “The main event is about to start. All you need to do is hail a cab and come to the old mansion-it will take only a few minutes at most! I’ll have someorfe wait for you by the main entrance, so that’s that. Get the necklace now-time is running out!”

Deirdre fought her dizziness by holding on to the edge of the table. “Aren’t you scared I might seize the chance to run away?”
