Those words of anger and hatred from Deirdre had made Brendan’s face turn pale. His dark eyes were turbulent, and when he moved his lips to speak, an unexpected visitor came over.“Ms. McKinnon, Mr. Brighthall, you’re both here!” Emily walked over in high heels, her face filled with anxiety. “Are you aware of Shea’s situation? I can’t believe she’s dead. Wasn’t she one of them? Is it possible that because she no longer was of any value to them, she was simply discarded?”Deirdre was enraged by Emily’s seemingly perplexed but actually derogatory words.As the culprit behind Shea’s death, Emily had no right to come over and ask questions.Both Deirdre’s eyes were red, and she was tearing up as she angrily rushed forward, grabbed Emily, and slapped her several times.“Emily Collins, you will pay for what you’ve done! You will definitely get retribution!”Deirdre did not show any mercy, and Emily screamed in pain.Brendan reacted by forcibly pulling Deirdre back by her shoulders.

“Sterling, it’s your fault that this happened. If you intervene again, won’t it make Mr. Brighthall even more furious? Mr. Brighthall loves Ms. McKinnon so much that he definitely won’t hurt her! But the result would be different if you got involved and enraged him!”Sterling looked tense, and he watched them leave while clenching his fists.Brendan threw Deirdre on the bed, and Deirdre felt so furious that she hit and kicked him back with all her strength.“You lunatic! Other than dominating and controlling others, what else can you do? You just want to turn others into your puppets! Is that what makes you happy? You are still the same person you were before, selfish and never changing! Why did I believe you could change? If I could, I wouldn’t even want to conceive your child. I hate you!”Deirdre’s words were like piercing needles in Brendan’s skin. Her hatred was like a knife cutting into his flesh.He wanted to shut her up, so he leaned in and used his thin lips to cover Deir

“I know.” Deirdre smiled.She knew that Sterling was no longer the same person he used to be.The current Sterling had remarkable qualifications. His medical talent alone was enough to make domestic research institutions go crazy to recruit him. With just one surgery, he could restore the sight of someone who had lost it completely.He was more like a desireless immortal than a human being.It was precisely because of this that Deirdre couldn’t implicate him.Because Brendan was a madman.“I know you can help me, but Brendan and I have agreed that, no matter what happens, we will let the child be born before deciding what to do. There are only a few months left until the due date. After the child is born, I’m going to stay away from him,” Deirdre said.“Are you sure Brendan will let you go?” Sterling said, his expression becoming complicated.Deirdre was taken aback. Thinking of the Brendan who had begged her to have the child and the insane Brendan she had been with last night

“Don’t try to put a positive spin on it. The conflict between me and Deirdre has been accumulating over time. Even without you, things would have ended up the same way.”Emily tried to keep a smile on her face. However, her expression turned sour.“Well, you have a great deal of patience. Unless you lost control of your emotions and hurt Ms. McKinnon…?” Emily trailed off as she raised her eyebrows inquisitively.When he heard this, Brendan’s gaze turned fierce and menacing, and he glared at her. He had already drunk a lot and was feeling a bit drunk, but his menacing aura still surprised Emily.“Who told you that?” Brendan reached out and grabbed Emily’s neck without hesitation, warning her in a low voice, “Emily Collins, don’t you know that going too far is offending to certain people? Or do you have a death wish?”Emily’s soft lips trembled as Brendan tightened his grip. Her face turned purple, and she said, “No, I don’t! Didn’t I tell you a long time ago that you’re easily infl

“Deirdre… Deirdre…”Brendan murmured to himself, greedily inhaling her scent. “Is it you? Have you come to find me?”Deirdre was taken aback. She had not expected this to be yet another ploy of his. While she was annoyed, her disappointment grew deeper.“Brendan Brighthall, let me go!”She struggled desperately, but Brendan’s arms remained immobile as he kept repeating the same words.“Is it you? Have you come to find me… You’ve come to find me… Deirdre…”His breath fell raggedly on her neck, and only then did Deirdre realize that he was truly drunk.“Deirdre… Deirdre…”Brendan repeated her name over and over again, his grip on her tightening, as if he was afraid she would leave him once more.“Don’t leave me. Don’t walk away from me. Don’t abandon me…”Deirdre was startled.She had never intended to abandon him. He was the one who had first cast himself aside.“Brendan, I don’t care if you’re awake or not, let go of me. You’ll never stay this way. This is just someone else
