Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 876

Chapter 876 I’ll Settle Our Scores… One. By. One.

“Those people were planted there by whoever masterminded this whole thing. They were meant to stay there for only a few days.” “Okay then,” Declan remarked. “Honestly, this turns out to be a backhanded blessing for Miss McKinnon. Since she’s pregnant, after suffering from this incident, the police’s forced to let her stay here, sending only one of their people to watch her. She no longer had to suffer in that sh*thole detainment center now.”

Brendan nodded in agreement. This was probably the only silver lining there was.

Declan leaned his back against the wall. “Who do you think ordered this attack?”

Brendan shot a glance at him and answered, “Charlene.” “I thought the same.” Declan flashed him a smile. ‘The mastermind behind her is someone meticulous, cautious, and sharp. They couldn’t have possibly done something so stupid that it could frustrate their own plans. So, this is all Charlene for sure.”

Brendan’s eyes seemed to be shrouded by a cold, inky mire. “One day, I’ll settle our scores. One. By. One.”

Soon enough, the Brighthall Group’s board of directors quickly came out with a statement ‘debunking’ the claims Mr. Jensen made. According to their joint press release, Mr. Jensen had made things up out of malice and vengeance since he had been kicked out of the board.

The revelation did not make that much of a splash. Mr. Jensen had a history of fabrication, after all.

Deirdre’s affair managed to get a lot less focus after a new celebrity scandal came to light. Meanwhile, Charlene’s bold lie about losing her ability to dance in that interview managed to turn quite a sizable crowd against her.

Throughout the ordeal, Deirdre remained in the hospital. Her injuries had long since recovered, and yet Brendan never came to proceed with the discharge procedure. Thanks to that, she found herself unexpectedly owning a personal space to breathe and relax.

“Miss McKinnon? Sorry, but I came to Sylvain’s too late. The food’s all sold,” a short-haired woman said as she entered her ward. “So, I bought a replacement from next door. Is that okay?”

Deirdre nodded. Her new companion was a caretaker Brendan had hired for her, yet she struck Deirdre as little… on the young side. Her youth just stuck out to Deirdre.

‘Thanks,” she said.
