Chapter 195 The Letter is the Only Possession Left by Her Brendanâs sharp brows were tightly furrowed. He was about to speak when Deirdre said, âBut I know th at he was just a fake cop. Apart from the fact that he suddenly found the villaâs location for no apparent
reason today, he talked about almost the same things as that person the other day.â
âWhat?â Brendan sounded alarmed. âWhat did he say?â
âHe claimed that my mother Ophelia died a year ago after jumping off a building.â
Brendanâs entire body tensed up as soon as he heard the remark.
âThose people are all talking nonsense!â
âHmm, I know,â Deirdre said. âI believe that you wouldnât lie to me.
Brendan fell silent once again. After a long silence, he asked, âWhatâs that letter on the table?â
He had come in such a rush that Sam had not managed to brief him on all the details.
Deirdre was stunned for a moment before she answered, âItâs just a letter. Itâs nothing important.â
The letter had come out of nowhere, so Brendan refused to believe that it was as unimportant as Deirdr e had casually described it to be.
He stepped forward and grabbed the letter. He took one glance and saw Opheliaâs name signed on it.
He then furrowed his eyebrows deeply and said, âWhat is this? Why is Opheliaâs signature here?â
Deirdreâs expression turned stiff for a moment before she answered, âIt was forged by the fake cop. He
claimed that this was my deceased motherâs unclaimed possession, the only thing left behind after she
jumped off the building.â
âYour deceased motherâs possession? These people have lost their minds!â Brendanâs veins bulged up, and he was determined to find the culprit who had stirred up trouble. He caught Deirdre off guard when he tore the letter into shreds. âItâs fake, itâs all fake!â
The very moment the letter was torn up, Deirdreâs expression froze. She reacted by throwing herself at him. âDonât tear it up! Brendan! Donât⦠Donât tear it!â
Brendanâs expression was icy, and he scattered the pieces of the letter into the air after destroying it full y. âWhy do you care about it? Itâs fake anyway. I can give you as many forged letters as you want! Leavi ng this letter around will only make you grow more suspicious.â
He had never heard about this letter or the deceased womanâs belongings. Those items had all been claimed by Opheliaâs enemy.
Deirdreâs gaze was unfocused. She nodded after a long time and answered, âYes, these are all fake, an d itâs useless for me to keep them indeed.â
Before Brendan could speak, she raised her head once again and said, âWhen are you going to let me meet her in real life then? Iâve mis sed her.â
âDonât worry. Iâve already made arrangements. I promise you that I wonât go back on my own word. It wi ll happen within two weeks.â
âSure, I believe you.â
Sam came rushing over to Brendan after walking outside. He passed a document to him and said while It was not forged?â Brendan furrowed his eyebrows. âWhat brought him here then, and what is with that letter?â
âThe letter was real too and it was the only possession left behind by Ophelia.â
Brendan grabbed Sam by his collar as soon as Sam made that remark, his dark pupils constricting. âWh Sam answered once again, âThat letter⦠was the only possession left behind by Opheliaâ¦â
Brendan shoved Sam away and stared at his hands closely. Had the item that he had torn up been left b He felt an intense headache. He instructed Sam to take Deirdre to the living room while he headed to th shred and glued the pieces back together bit by bit.
Ophelia had been well on some days and bad on others. She had not behaved like a child at all times, n short periods of soberness, though. Perhaps the letter had been written by her when her head had been sobe
