Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98 No Other Way to Explain

“Show your hands.”

Brendan stood in front of the window, his flawless face radiating coldness at that very moment. He was even speaking in a tone deprived of its prior gentleness.

“What…. What happened?” Charlene stretched out her hands with a forced chuckle.” What happened… Why are you being so serious? You’re making me nervous.”

Brendan examined her nails. It had only been two days since the incident, so her nails had yet to grow much. They had been manicured into a stiletto shape, making them pointy in the middle. If she were to dig her nails hard into someone’s flesh, it would be considered merciful for the victim to experience puncture wounds and not. lose chunks of flesh.

“Did you do something to your nails?” asked Brendan with narrowed eyes.

“Huh?” Charlene pulled back her hands with a guilty conscience. “I’m not really sure. I got a fresh manicure two days ago. Perhaps they have been polished a little?”

“Did you cause the injury on Deirdre’s hands?”

All the blood drained from Charlene’s face, and her heart began racing. She had not. expected that Brendan would bring up an incident that had already taken place a few days ago. ‘How is Deirdre capable of doing this? Have I underestimated her?”

“What injury?” Charlene immediately calmed herself and said with feigned anxiety,” Is Ms. McKinnon injured again? Where’s the injury? Is she okay?”

Brendan did not answer. He looked at Charlene, who was stunned for a moment. Soon, her eyes reddened with tears. “Bren… Why are you looking at me like this? You can’t be thinking that I’m the one who hurt Ms. McKinnon, right?”

Brendan took a deep breath, for he was already pushed to the limits of his patience. Deirdre’s hands are covered in infected wounds punctured by nails, and the injury happened on the 19th. On the other hand, you two held hands once on the 19th.”

Charlene’s face turned ghastly pale, and her voice turned shaky. “Bren, you’re suspecting me of hurting Ms. McKinnon? You think that I punctured her hands on purpose? Why would you think of me that way? Am I such a sinister woman in your eyes?”

Brendan had refused to believe that in the past, but the answer was apparent now.

“Apologize to her.”
