Chapter 466 Charlene, Is That You?
Deirdre wanted to go back to Kyranâs side as soon as possible. What if he was thirsty? There was no one who could bring him water.
Maeveâs eyes were red around the rims as she stammered, âMiss McKinnon-â
âWhat took you so long, you slowpoke!> Donât you know that weâre rushing for time?â
Suddenly, a voice erupted behind Deirdre. The voice sounded like that of a thug, and once he got closer, Deirdre was assaulted by a strong smell of cigarettes.
The man observed Deirdre and asked, âAre you sure sheâs the one? You didnât simply find a woman to fool us, did you?â
âT-Thereâs no way Iâd do that,â said Maeve, her voice shaking âSheâs Deirdre. Sheâs the one you guys are looking for.â
Deirdre was stunned, and her brain turned blank. When she realized what was going on, she shouted at the top of her lungs, âHelp! Somebody help!â
She did not know that they had also sent some people after Reily. After she shouted a few times, the thug pinned her to the wall, and the rock that stabbed into her palm caused her to wince in pain.
âShut the f*ck up!â snarled the thug. âIf you donât stop shouting right now, Iâll break all of your teeth.â
When Maeve saw what they did to Deirdre, she rushed over and shielded Deirdre. âMiss McKinnon!
Miss McKinnon, are you okay?â
After that, she turned around and glared at the thug, her eyes red. âCanât you guys be gentler? Sheâs blind! She canât see anything!â
âWho do you think you are?â The thug looked at her in contempt. âGet the hell out of here now, you old h* g! I suggest you act as if nothing has happened here, and youâll see your daughter tomorrow. If notâ¦.â
The thug let out a cold snort. He kicked her away and stretched his arm forward to reach out for Deirdre.
âStay away from me!â Deirdre fought back, but the thug slapped her across her face. Her ear buzzed for a moment, and she fell to the ground.
In the next second, the thug covered her nose and mouth with a piece of cloth. She realized what he was going to do and hastily held her breath. However, the pungent smell still found its way into her nostrils, and she felt light-headed.
Before Deirdre fell unconscious, she heard Maeve crying, âIâm sorry, Miss McKinnon. If I didnât lure you here, theyâd kill my daughterâ¦â
That was the last thing she heard before she completely passed out.
By the time Deirdre came around to her senses, she could still hear Maeveâs cries in her mind. She took a deep breath and sighed at her misfortune.
âJust because she wanted to save her daughter, she lured me there? Does she not know that she might kill ine this way too?â she thought. It took her a few seconds before her consciousness finally returned to her. It was only then she realized that she was tied to a chair.
She felt numbness in her limbs and couldnât move. She tried to struggle but to no avail. Then she gave up the struggle.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her head. She couldnât help herself but think how long she had been tied up here and what Kyran would do when he found out that she was abducted.
He was bedridden. Would he get up from the bed and come out to look for her when he realized that she was abducted?
And where was Reily? Was she abducted as well? If she was not abducted, would she tell Kyran about what happened to her?
Before she could get answers to those questions in her mind, the door in front of her was kicked open from the outside. A group of people walked in, and from their footsteps, Deirdre assumed there were at least three people.
Initially, she thought they were the same group of people who had followed her the other day. She thought. they wanted money but soon dismissed the idea. After all, they would not have had to ask Maeve to lure her out if they just wanted money. Apparently, they were coming for her.
âCharlene, is that you?â Her throat was so sore that she felt as if something was burning in her throat with every breath she took. However, her voice was unexpectedly calm.
After all, other than Charlene, she couldnât think of anyone else who would treat her this way.
Just as she expected, she heard the knocking sound of Charleneâs high heels approaching her.
Charlene grabbed her by the cheek and slapped her across the face.
Charlene slapped her with so much force that Deirdreâs face turned to the side. She frowned in pain.
