Brendan kept quiet for a long time before he answered, “This is the last time, I promise.”
Madam Brighthall refused to believe his promise. She left, slamming the door, ready to rush over to the police station.
Brendan and Sam were left in the room.
It was apparent that Sam had not expected that the situation would progress to this extent. He asked in an exploratory manner, “So what should we do now, Mr. Brighthall?”
“Head to the police station and figure out a way for me to speak with Deirdre.”
Sam nodded. He turned around to head out when Brendan called out to him. “Also, please help me look into Ophelia’s incident one year ago. Find out what happened after her house was taken back.”
“Sure.”
Charlene had just arrived at the police station with the lawyer when Madam Brighthall followed her. At the same time, Deirdre was brought in.
There was no telling if it was due to the three tormenting days in the holding cell or because she had not met her in a long time, but her appearance had changed.
One could definitely describe her body as skin and bones, and an ordinary piece of clothing would fit her body very loosely and look empty, just like her still eyes contained no emotion.
Madam Brighthall felt her heart wrench in a tinge of pain at the sight of Deirdre. She could not figure out why she would feel this way, as she knew that she loathed the woman.
She loathed Deirdre for almost killing her son and hated her for turning her initially perfect family into a chaotic mess.
