Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 641

Chapter 641 You Suspect Me?

It was by no means serious, but external wounds were usually the most painful type of injuries anyone could suffer.

Even a little brush on a gash could make one think a sharp, thin blade was peeling their skin.

Brendan took a deep breath to calm himself before finishing the entire glass of water.

Deirdre placed the glass back on the table.

He took another gulp of breath before stating, "The phone’s in the drawer near the headboard."

Deirdre felt her way to the cabinet near the bed and pulled the drawer out.

The phone was where he said it would be—a revelation that surprised her since she had not expected him to make it so easy.

Then her surprise faded immediately into the same stony face she had reserved for him since the beginning.

"Seems like there’s no more reason for me to be here.

Goodbye."

She turned on her heels and started toward the door.

"Deirdre."

His voice came out almost like a frail whisper.

She stopped dead in her tracks but did not spare him a glance.

Brendan sneered.

"Will you be glad...if I die...today?’

‘Die today?’ Shock overwhelmed Deirdre’s mind for a second before she snapped out of it.

Seriously? Brendan Brighthall, known absolute egotist, allowing himself to die here? Ha! This was just another one of his self-directed poor-quality dramas to gain sympathy.

"You were the one who provided the safe house.Only you and Mr.Fox knew where it was! So, how did Cillian Manage to find and abduct me, huh? How could you even say you've got zero involvement in this entire thing!?"

Shock flooded into Brendan’s eyes.

His fingers closed around the edge of his sheet.

"You...You believe I led Cillian into abducting you?"

"I don’t want to consider the possibility at all, but reality doesn’t care about what I want, does it? What happened, happened!"

Deirdre managed to recover some semblance of control, but her lips were still trembling.

"You know what's funny? I don’t even blame you because I know this is who you really are.No means are too underhanded or despicable if it means you can grab that project from the Kings’ hands, including milking my potential as your pawn to its absolute maximum.You want to do all that? Fine! But don’t kid yourself and think I'm too stupid to realize your thought process!"

Despair was oozing out of Brendan.His dry, pale lips were quivering.He gazed deeply into Deirdre’s eyes and suddenly hung his head.

"I'm sorry about the abduction.I should have known better.I should have done more.I honestly don’t know how Cillian learned about where you were, and for that, I apologize."
