Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179 I Would Like to See Her at Once

Charlene’s face was green and purple. She had almost fainted, and her lips were trembling.

Deirdre still wanted to throw herself at Charlene but she was stopped by the man. Charlene said, “Haven’t you wondered why Brendan refuses to let you see Ophelia, Deirdre?! It’s because she is dead, of course! Her corpse has been burned to ashes! Hence, you won’t be meeting a dead person no matter how obedient you are. You may ask Brendan personally if you don’t believe me and see how he answers you!”

Upon saying that, Deirdre knew that time was running out, so she turned around and left with the man.

Deirdre sat on the rug by herself and felt icy coldness spreading through her body. There was confusion. and fear in her eyes when she muttered to herself, “It can’t be… It can’t be…”

“Brendan promised me that he would let my mother off if I agreed to be the scapegoat. How is she dead?

How?”

She attempted to convince herself over and over again, yet her mind was filled with past events constantly.

It seemed as if Brendan had been very resistant every time she had brought up Ophelia and he would make up countless excuses. He would not even let her listen to Ophelia’s voice…

Deirdre’s entire body was shaking. The doctor returned and found Deirdre sitting on the icy floor by herself. He let go of the things in his hands.

“Ms. McKinnon, why are you sitting on the floor? Your body is weak, so you shouldn’t expose yourself to the cold!” He looked anxious as he was about to help Deirdre to her feet.

The moment he touched Deirdre’s arm, Deirdre grabbed his hand abruptly and said with bloodshot eyes,” Where’s Brendan?”

“Mr. Brighthall?” The doctor paused for a moment and said, “He is on a business trip to Eastgene and he will be back in three days.”

“Three days?”

Deirdre could not bear to wait anymore. She said, “Please call Mr. Brighthall at once. I have something to

ask him!”
