Chapter 289 Forced to Death by Him âWho did it? When was it?â
Sam narrowed his eyes. âThe day before Miss McKinnon was jailed. It was also the day you kicked Mrs. McKinnon out of the yard. After she was kicked out, a car came and took her to a mental hospital.
The video was also released that day. Perhaps⦠Miss McKinnon saw itâ¦â
Brendanâs mind went blank. He suddenly recalled the phone call from Deirdre that day. For the first time, she had hysterically and desperately bawled that he was forcing her.
At the time, he had reacted with a sneer. He had thought Deirdre was trying to gain his sympathy because he had just taken back everything he had given to her.
She had eventually agreed to be jailed. And he had thought that she had been reluctant to part with the luxurious life. Instead, her mother had been suffering.
She had done it willingly, and he had never forced her. However, he had never thought that someone else might be forcing her.
At that moment, Brendan regretted it. As he thought of his condescending attitude and Deirdreâs suppressed weeping, his heart ached.
It was too painful⦠Why would it be so painfulâ¦
He had never considered how much pain Deirdre had been in.
Being forced into such a desperate situation by the person she had loved⦠No wonder she had been so afraid that she had resisted when she had seen him againâ¦
Brendan pressed his fingers strongly against his palm, and it took him a long time to croak, âWho did it?â
âSteven.â
As soon as Sam answered, Brendan lost his mind. âWhy did he do this?â
âPerhaps he did it for you or Miss McKinney. After all, he knows you the best. He would take the initiative to do anything that is difficult for you to do.â
As Sam replied, he clenched his fists.
The more he had been in contact with Deirdre, the more he had felt that Deirdreâs life had been miserable.
Every single moment of the past few years, Deirdre had been living in imminent peril. No wonder she had been willing to die instead.
Hurmans are not emotionless. Besides, she had not only lost the most important person in her life, but sheâd also had to confront her lover, who had hurt her unscrupulously. She would have certainly been frightened enough to run away.
âDeirdreâ¦â
As he called her name, darkness increasingly filled the edges of his vision, and he felt dizzy and nauseated. In fact, he had never been so furious before.
It turned out that Deirdre had been gradually forced by him to death.
Smashed the thing in his hand, he went to see Steven. As soon as Steven opened the door, Brendan immediately began to punch him.
Each punch was so hard that it injured Steven. However, Steven seemed to understand and endured each punch without saying a word.
The unhealed wound on his hand was hurting again, but Brendan ignored it. Instead, he grabbed Stevenâs collar and bellowed, âWhy! Who told you to do this? I warned you a long time ago not to take yourself too seriously. Do you know that you ruined her?â
Steven almost blurted out who the real culprit was. However, he couldnât tell the truth because he was being blackmailed by the ruthless Charlene. He could only apologetically lower his head and confess.
âSir, I am sorry.â
âYou arenât qualified to call me sir!â Rage thrummed through Brendan, and as if all his energy suddenly drained out of him, he retreated miserably.
Steven had done that mostly because of him.
It was because he had treated Deirdre indifferently, just like he would treat a dog. He had commanded Deirdre whenever heâd felt like it. That was why Steven had been so dismissive and used the most disgusting tricks to deal with Deirdre.
âGet out! Get out of Neve and donât show up before me again. Otherwise, Iâm afraid that I might kill you!â
Following that, Brendan staggered out of the room. Sam saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to help him. âMr. Brighthall, is your woundâ¦â
