Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 569

Chapter 569 Troubles

“I know I called him Bren, but it was just a ploy to ingratiate myself with him. It happens

when you really need someone’s help. You can’t sound like a belligerent *ss.

“You remember what I said just now, right? I asked him if he still holds a grudge against

me. That’s really the crux of our disagreement. I hated his guts, so I left. I didn’t try to

explain myself or resolve any conflict between us, which caused him to resent me even

more. I even thought he hung up on me because he refused to help me.”

Deirdre was nailed to her spot. She did remember the words Declan had used. If she

was right about Brendan and Declan’s relationship, then the latter would not have said

something like, “are you still holding a grudge”, would he?

Her expression relaxed. Pressing her lips tight, she asked, “So… you’re in a bind, huh?”

“Yeah.”

“Is it… serious?” asked Deirdre, concerned. Anything that could make Declan ask

Brendan for help must be some grim affair.

He was silent for a moment before finally answering, “A day after I returned to Eastgene,

my sister-in-law talked to me in private. She told me something bad will happen to me

during the upcoming party. I was about to ask for details when my brother appeared, so I

have no idea what will happen.”

“I see.” Deirdre furrowed her eyebrows. She understood why Declan stopped himself

from asking for more. The man shared a very complicated relationship with his sister-inlaw, so both of them had a vested interest in avoiding any suspicion or rumor as much as

possible.

“But if she finds it important to warn me, then whatever’s gonna happen at that party has

to be big. I need someone who can help me when I’m in a bind, the sort of person my

brother would rather not offend. The only person who fits the bill is Brendan Brighthall.”

“What about Kyran?” Deirdre could not help but ask, “Can’t he help?”

Declan chuckled softly. “Him being abroad at the moment is certainly a limitation, but

even if he could make it in time for the party, he can’t rear his head.”

‘Why not?”
