Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188 Would You Believe Me if I Told You the Truth

She could no longer care and she did not have the mental capacity to let herself be distracted by that incident. All she wanted was to meet her mother.

“Nothing happened, really. The idea occurred to me all of a sudden…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Brendan grabbed her face, exuding displeasure with his overbearing presence. “Deirdre, are you aware that I can see that you’re lying every time you do it? You’re really disobedient, which makes me think that you just don’t want to meet Ophelia again!”

Deirdre felt her heart racing, and all the blood drained from her face instantly.

In the end, she bit her lower lip tightly and said, “Brendan, would you believe me if I told you the truth?” Brendan furrowed his eyebrows subconsciously when he heard her reply. “What kind of trick do you have up your sleeve again? If you’re telling the truth, why wouldn’t I believe you?”

“It was Charlene.”

Deirdre could feel the coldness emanating from Brendan’s body when she uttered that name. She found it ironic, but she said, “She showed up suddenly the other day and told me about my mother’s passing. That was why I had such a huge reaction that I even tried to compel you with my death…”

Brendan’s dark eyes turned gloomy. He stared closely at Deirdre in hopes of seeing the tinge of pleasure of someone who had successfully framed someone else on her face. However, he did not see such a thing. There was only calmness in her expression.

In fact, after Brendan fell silent, Deirdre said, “You can choose not to believe me and not to pursue this matter. You may just assume that I’m lying. The matter is already over anyway.”

However, Brendan knew that this matter was not over because Ophelia was already dead and he had to figure out a way to comfort Deirdre within two weeks.

Everything was happening precisely due to this fact.

But had Charlene really done this? Was she really cruel enough to tell Deirdre the truth? She obviously knew better than anybody else the significance of this matter to him and Deirdre!

He did not say anything but he turned around and left. In the car heading to the company, he suddenly said, “Let’s not head to the company for now. Drive to Charlene’s place instead.”
