Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138 I Killed the Dog.

God. Every part of that cordiality sounded so manufactured and phony. Deirdre was in no mood to play. the game, so she placed the box on a rack next to the door and turned on her heel.

“Miss McKinnon, wait.” Charlene stopped her as she rose from her seat with a smile. “What’s the hurry? Don’t you wanna look around? You know, enjoy the vibe now that you’re here?”

“Not interested,” Deirdre rebutted nonchalantly. She had never been interested in what the affluent upper- class considered haute couture or their glamor. The only reason she had even wanted to be Brendan’s wife was because she had loved him.

Of course, even that had gone away.

“I brought you your necklace,” she stated placidly. “If there’s nothing else you need, excuse me.”

“But there is oneeee thing.” Charlene replied quickly. Her smile deepened. Then, she fished out her phone gracefully and played a video.

The whimpers and cries of a dog being tortured filled the air.

Deirdre stopped dead in her tracks. She could feel her blood boiling from her feet to her head.

Charlene tittered. “I’m willing to bet you recognize this sound, Miss McKinnon. What was the name of that damn dog again?… Oh, right. Bliss. I remember the way it went down as though it was yesterday! Its belly was cut open, and even though it was near death, that poor thing got its limbs lopped off too. Oh, look! You can see it glancing at the mansion throughout the video-it was looking for you, wasn’t it? Maybe it just wanted to see you before it was gone forever?”

Deirdre’s eyes were red. She turned back to face Charlene, her voice shaking as much as her body. “W-W- Where did you get this?”

Charlene’s eyes narrowed. “Why don’t you take a guess? Guess why I would have a video like this or why I seem to have intimate knowledge regarding the dog’s death.”

Deirdre’s eyes seemed to be quivering in their sockets. She tearfully croaked, “It… It was you! You killed Bliss!”
