Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 616

Chapter 616 Apologize to My Son

Brendan jerked his head up, and his pupils constricted. "Why did you come out of the car?”

Deirdre ignored him and continued to press on. "If someone from the outside learns that I was drugged today, it won't do any good to any of us here. So, can you tell me what you will do about it?”

Mr. King Sr. set his jaw tightly. After a short while, he took a deep breath and said, “Of course, I'll give you a satisfactory answer and bring the proprietor to justice. After Declan returns, I'll ask him to go to your side and kneel to apologize to you. If you're still unhappy about it, you can just send him to prison."

Deirdre chuckled. "Things have come to this point, and you still want to protect Cillian?"

"I don't know what you are talking about, Miss McKinnon,” replied Mr. King Sr.

“No, you are well aware," Deirdre said without hesitation. "You are well aware that the one who drugged me wasn't Declan."

Perhaps Cillian had too much confidence in the drug because his plan was full of flaws.

If Declan was the one who had drugged her, why would he let himself get drugged as well? Besides, he was just an illegitimate son whom his family did not respect. There was no way he could threaten a maid with her job.

Mr. King Sr. looked at Deirdre squarely and said, "If it isn't Declan’s doing, then it must be that maid!"

Deirdre was truly disappointed in Mr. King Sr.

"So, you're not going to hand your son over to us?”

"Why should I hand him over to you?" Mr. King Sr. said, "If you think Cillian is the one who set you up, then show me the proof. If you can bring me the proof, I won’t stop you from taking him away. However, you guys don’t have any evidence now, and you pin the blame on him? There’s no way I will let you do that. Do you think all of us from the Kings are a bunch of pushovers?"

He knocked his cane on the floor a few times. As the former patriarch of the Kings, he was definitely not weak when it came to intimidating others.

Deirdre closed her eyes and opened them up again after a short while. "We indeed don't have any evidence to prove that Mr. King is the mastermind behind this.”
