Charlene’s eyes were bloodshot, and she said in a grievous tone, “Brendan, I’m supposed to be the one you love! What have I done wrong? Why are you treating me like this!”Brendan expressed his disgust. “Shut up! I considered myself blinded in the past. You’re no longer the kind Charlene who risked your life to save me, and I won’t trust you anymore!”Had he not been blinded by love in the past, Deirdre would not have had to endure hardships in prison, and she would not… She would not loathe him so much that he would need to assume a different identity to be with her. Charlene went from being hopeless to calm. She wiped away her tears and said, “However, you have no choice but to be with me to acquire the information for Deirdre, no matter how much you hate me.”She cracked a smile. “As long as you’re willing to be with me, we will spend more time with each other. I assure you I’ll make you fall in love with me once again.”“I don’t know how you can be so confident to think I’d f

Charlene was caught by surprise when a hand clutched her arm and pulled her hands out from behind her forcefully, revealing the phone.Brendan’s pupils constricted abruptly. He snatched the phone from her hand and brought up the call history to find Deirdre’s countless missed calls and the incoming call that had lasted one and a half minutes. His face turned pale instantly.Charlene tucked a strand of hair behind her ear without a modicum of guilt, and she was even smiling when she said, “Brendan, I feel that it would be best for a man not to be too crude. What do you think?”Brendan glared at her. “Have you lost your mind?”At the thought of how Deirdre could have possibly heard Charlene’s voice, he felt an overwhelming feeling in his chest, and he looked like he wanted to murder someone. Charlene felt lingering fear in her heart from his stare. She said with an innocent expression, “Don’t worry, Brendan. She didn’t know it was me. I didn’t make a sound from the moment I picked

Declan was receptive enough to notice that something was off. He asked with furrowed eyebrows, “What is going on?”Brendan placed his phone on the table and lit a cigarette. He narrowed his eyes and looked into the dark night and plants blowing in the wind outside the window, surrounded by smoke. His heart, which was boiling over with pain, only calmed down gradually at this very moment. “I bailed out Charlene.”Declan did not pay much attention to the case because he had more important tasks to attend to. He was surprised when he heard that. “What happened?”He could not help feeling that Brendan had lost his mind. He furrowed his eyebrows and speculated, saying, “Were you threatened?”Sooner or later, Charlene would discover that Kyran was Brendan. It would be inevitable for her to want to take Brendan down with her when she found out about the situation and threatened Brendan with this.Declan found it strange because how could Brendan be threatened if he were to migrate to

“Who am I?” The woman could not help laughing aloud. “Can’t you recognize me?”She reminded Deirdre by saying, “I picked up your call kindly yesterday night.”Deirdre’s expression changed upon recalling that.The woman’s red lips curled into a smirk. “It seems that you haven’t forgotten all about me. I thought Kyran might have cast a spell on you, so you forgot everything from yesterday. As it turns out, you’re just keeping up a front and still thinking about it constantly.”Deirdre folded the rag and placed it properly with a cold expression. She asked, “What are you doing here?”The woman tilted her chin in a flaunting manner. “My goal of visiting here is very simple. You still don’t have awareness after my action yesterday. I have to pay you a visit in person to get rid of you for the future of Kyran and me. If you have some sense of propriety, you should leave Kyran as soon as possible! Stop being shameless.”“Shameless…” Deirdre chanted the word and found it ridiculous. “Uh…

“However, will you still find out what you want if I die?” Charlene burst out laughing profusely. Noticing that Brendan was frowning and quiet, she leaned closer to him coquettishly. “I love you so much that I won’t go back on my word. I’ve always kept my promises to you. Deirdre doesn’t know about my existence, and she won’t find out who you are.”Brendan found her remark ridiculous and avoided her approaching hand. His gaze was filled with disgust, hatred, and coldness that he did not bother to conceal. “How about that woman today? Don’t you dare tell me that she is not a part of your trick.”Charlene admitted to it by saying, “I sent that person indeed.”“So, how dare you claim that you didn’t go back on your word?”“Is that woman related to my promise?” Charlene said boldly and smiled charmingly. However, her gaze was tainted with hatred. “I promised you that I won’t let Deirdre find out the truth, but I haven’t promised you that I won’t do everything in my power to discourage
