Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189 She’s Lying

“How did that happen…” Charlene bit her lower lip, feeling scared out of her wits. She asked in a flurry,” What happened afterward? Is Ms. McKinnon alright? She’s too foolish. Why would she commit suicide because of this?”

“She was saved in the end.”

“Great then.” Charlene felt relieved. She remembered something that made her face turn paler and she looked at Brendan incredulously. “Brendan, you’re here to tell me about Ms. McKinnon’s suicide attempt… What are you implying? You also asked about my whereabouts yesterday. Could you be suspecting me of exposing the secret?”

Brendan did not answer, but Charlene’s eyes reddened with tears instantly. “Did Ms. McKinnon tell you that I told her the secret?”

“No.” Brendan frowned deeply, and his voice sounded agitated. “I was only asking casually.”

Tears were falling from Charlene’s eyes. “You don’t have to put in a good word for Ms. McKinnon. Why would you associate the incident with me if she hadn’t mentioned it? Besides, Brendan, you’re breaking my heart. Why would you think that I’m the culprit behind this incident? Is it because of that dog?

“Yes! I admit that the dog incident was my fault! It was the servant who committed the act, but it was partly incited by me. But I truly had no idea that the dog would die such a tragic death! Even if I really did ask my servant to do that, was I not supposed to do it? Deirdre framed me and almost caused my death. She ruined my leg, and now she’s trying to take you away from me too! I should be selfless in love and offer you to her magnanimously, right?”

Charlene was bawling profusely and hysterically.

Brendan furrowed his eyebrows. “Charlene…”

“Rosaly, bring me the receipts from my shopping trip yesterday!” Charlene ordered the servant while she wiped her tears. She then handed the receipts to Brendan when the servant brought them. “These are the receipts from my shopping trip yesterday morning till afternoon, with a timestamp printed on them. You can look into the receipts and ask around for information. The return journey from the shopping location. to your villa took two hours, so these will tell you whether I was at the villa or not yesterday, Mr. Brighthall!”
