"That makes sense too. However, Brendan is really capable. He not only has a beautiful woman bearing his child, but he is also about to tie the knot with Collins Pharmaceuticals' heiress. In addition, the Brighthall Group has a bright prospect, so a boundless future awaits him!"The discussion ended, but many people engaged in small talk on the same topic of conversation.After all, Emily's identity as Collins Pharmaceuticals' heiress or the more deserving, soon-to-be Mrs. Brighthall was enough to make these people treat Emily differently.Soon, Emily became the guest who drew everyone's attention.Deirdre looked at the woman who was surrounded densely by people, and her expression grew solemn yet pale.'Brendan did not show up for Declan's wedding today?'She wondered if his condition had worsened or if it was Emily's intention to propagate public opinion and raise her status in Eastgene.If that were the case, Emily was definitely an ingenious businessman who would do anything

The hotel's receptionist answered softly, "Mr. Brighthall forcefully requested to check on the surveillance footage a week ago. There's no telling what he saw, but he smashed up everything in the surveillance room all of a sudden. The equipment in the surveillance room is costly. Mr. Brighthall promised to get someone to pay the compensation, yet he has not paid up to this day. Mr. Brighthall's phone can't be reached…""Brendan broke the things in the surveillance room? Why?""We are not too sure of the specific details, but we only know that he lost his temper. It was Ms. Collins who calmed him and performed the check-out." The receptionist suddenly remembered something and said, "It seemed that he saw a man and woman hugging each other in the surveillance footage before he went berserk. That is because I heard Ms. Collins tell him that he should not go and look for that person because he might hurt someone. I'm not too sure who the person is."Deirdre was stunned.If she was not

“The father of the… child?” Brendan repeated the remark with great effort and felt his chest burning.Deirdre had actually referred to him as the father of the child. She would never acknowledge that in the past.He was caught in a daze all at once.Deirdre inhaled a deep breath, raised her head, and tried to persuade Brendan. "Why can't two people share the burden of something? Especially when it is a mental health issue. You need more care and concern. You won't be suffering from the illness for the rest of your life. I will keep you company. I will keep you company while you receive treatment, alright?"Brendan looked at Deirdre's sincere gaze. He almost blurted out the words, ' great then'.In the next moment, he lowered his head and said, "No."He was not a fool and could tell from Deirdre's gaze that she was doing it so he would not feel guilty. However, it was precisely due to her kindness that he refused to be selfish anymore. "Deirdre, you have no idea about my current

It was one of the ideas she had come up with. Brendan was worried he would act wrongly out of impulse and hurt Deirdre as well as the baby in her womb. Hence, Deirdre had given the order to release Sam from the organization.Firstly, she did it because she owed it to Sam. She was supposed to look for an opportunity to free him.Secondly, she did it because Sam was the only person she could trust. He had helped her so much in the past."I've rested way too long in the organization, so I rushed over without stopping as soon as I learned that Mr. Brighthall assigned me to protect Ms. McKinnon. I would like to show myself."Sam was still as cheerful and had a nimble tongue as he did in the past. Deirdre felt gratified, but at the same time, she could not help laughing. "I was planning on giving you two days of rest first, yet you're more eager to get back to work than me. It's possible that you won't be receiving any days off in the next few days, you know.""It's all that I could

Brendan was stunned by her series of questions. He recovered from his surprise, tilted the woman's chin to look at her concerned face up close, and smiled in satisfaction."Even though I want to lie to you badly, my body is completely fine." Brendan said in a strong voice, "Not only that, but my mental state is much more refreshed than before. But if I have to say something…"He attractively lowered his voice, and Deirdre waited for him to finish his sentence nervously. Then, she felt Brendan's lips rubbing against her lips. "I feel like succumbing to my appetite, and my urge is growing stronger by the day."Deirdre was stunned. She came to realize the situation a few seconds later and was extremely shy. She poked at Brendan's arm and said, "Will you please behave more decently, Brendan? Where is your serious demeanor that you used to have?""With you around, I only care about enjoying myself and nothing else."As Brendan spoke, his hands ran along Deirdre's garment and under her
