Chapter 168 It Didnât Mean You Could be Aggressive âThese are all excuses! Regardless of how badly Miss McKinnon had been treating me, there was no reason for you to harm her Charleneâs eyes turned redder as she added, âItâs my own business if she treated me badly And one day, sheâd understand that Iâve had no ill intentions toward her. Now that you have done this to her, how am I supposed to stand firm before her?â
Iâm sorry, Miss McKinney!â Greenlee apologized quiltily. âI promise I wonât do it again. I wonât do it again, I promise!â
âItâs useless for you to tell me now. The harm youâve done to me and Miss McKinnon has been done!
Iâm so disappointed in youâ Charlene was heartbroken. She had victimized herself with just a few words. Following that, she turned to Brendan and choked. Tm sorry Bren, itâs my fault. I didnât know that she really had done this kind of thing. Iâm sorry for Miss McKinnon. Please punish me. Otherwise, Iâll keep fidgetingâ¦â
Brendan frowned, but his tone was softer than ever. âThis had nothing to do with you. It was her own decision, and you didnât know.â s âButâ¦â Charlene cried bitterly while covering her face. âI canât accept that someone around me would do this kind of thing. How could they do such an immoral thing! How am I supposed to face Miss McKinnon in the future?â
Deirdre stood alone at the back. When she heard Charlene, she didnât even bother to sneer. That heartbroken cry was really hypocritical.
How could a servant be capable enough and spend so much money just to kill a dog?
If Brendan believed it, it would be tooâ¦
âNo worries, you just met the wrong person. Iâll only punish the culprit behind this, and this is irrelevant to you.â
Deirdre suddenly felt a chill.
Brendan had already given a tissue to Charlene and shot Greenlee a frigid look.
He commanded his bodyguard to take Greenlee away. Charlene was still crying in Brendanâs embrace, and when the whole incident ended, she paced toward Deirdre, taking Deirdreâs hand in an aggrieved.
manner.
âMiss McKinnon, Iâm sorry. I never thought that I would really be involved in this matter. It turns out that it was my subordinate who hurt you. I-Iâll strictly discipline them from now on. I-I promise what happened to Bliss will never happen again.â
Deirdre frigidly withdrew her hand.
âA servant who had never met me but knew that I had a dog. She let my dog out of the room and arranged for a homeless person just to disembowel it. McKinney, arenât you just pulling my leg?â
Charlene was startled for a moment before her eyes reddened. âMiss McKinnon, Iâm to blame for this matter I had told Greenlee that you had a dog. I only thought of her as my sister, but I never thought that sheâd du such a cruel thing for me.
âThen, where did she get the money? How could a servant have three million?â
âEnoughâ
Charlene didnât answer. It was Brendan who chimed in with an annoying snarl. He glared at Deirdre from above. âEven though youâre reasonable about this, that doesnât mean you can be aggressive.â
Aggressive? Deirdre smirked.
The culprit behind Blissâs death was very obvious, yet he pretended to be ignorant and was covering up. for the murderer. Meanwhile, Deirdre herself was merely questioning Charlene, but she was regarded as the aggressive one?
What a jokeâ¦
Brendan ignored Deirdreâs thoughts and comforted Charlene directly. âIâll handle this issue myself. You may just return.â
âOkayâ¦â
