Chapter 468 Theyâve Been Best Buddies Since Childhood Charlene remembered something, and a glint flitted across her eyes. She let out a cold smirk and said, â Maybe heâs just playing you! He promised that heâll marry me. He doesnât want to be responsible to you, so he faked an identity to get closer to you. This way, he wonât have any guilt when he leaves you.
Your whole life is a joke, Deirdre.â
A chill rushed down Deirdreâs spine as she felt there was an invisible hand stabbing her in her heart.
Her unfocused eyes were filled with pain, and she kept shaking her head in denial. âNo⦠This isnât possible! Thereâs no way Kyran could be Brendan! He grew up in Eastgene. Thatâs what Mr. King told me, and heâd never lie to me!â
âMr. King? Youâre talking about Declan, right?â asked Charlene, stunning Deirdre.
âHow does she know about Mr. King?â
âSo heâs in Wrisey too. No wonder he looked so familiar that day, so this is it.â Charlene smiled coldly.
âDo you know who Declan is to Brendan?â
âNo, I donât know.â
âTheyâve been best friends since childhood.â
âWhat? But Declan grew up in Eastgeneâ¦â
âYes, Declan grew up in Eastgene. But his mother is his fatherâs second wife, so he wasnât welcomed in his family. They sent him over to Neve when he was a kid, and thatâs how he got to know Brendan.â
This time, Deirdre felt as if her entire world had turned dark.
If she could see now, her vision would certainly turn dark, and she would fall unconscious immediately.
âIf theyâve been best friends since childhood, why did Mr. King act so cold toward Brendan? And whatâs with Kyran? A made-up person?â
As myriad questions flitted across her head, her memories with Kyran also appeared in her mind.
When she recalled the day Kyran confessed to her, the day they shared their first kiss, and those days they spent together, she just felt disgusted at those memories.
There was a stabbing pain in her heart as well. It was so painful that she wanted to kill herself to free herself from the pain..
âIâve been wondering why I couldnât find out the person staying in Room 1106 and the person that protects you from the shadows. So, it turns out to be Declan and Brendan. If it were both of them, then it makes. sense why I couldnât find out anything. Not only did he keep me in the dark, but he has been keeping your in the dark too!â Charleneâs anger had already ebbed away.
There was a joyful smile tugging at the corner of her lips as she continued. âBut I can understand why Brendan is keeping me in the dark. Apparently, heâs just playing you. Thatâs why he lies to you. This way, he can marry me after he has had enough of you. Youâre nothing but a toy for him to pass his time!â
Deirdreâs head was blank. She couldnât think of anything right now. Her tears flowed down her cheeks and dried up before reaching her chin.
Her eyes were filled with despair. She had lost all of her will to stay alive.
There was a smug smile on Charleneâs face. She did not know why, but the mask that Deirdre was wearing stung her eyes. It was probably because that mask made Deirdreâs eyes look particularly attractive.
âYou purposely put on a mask because you know how ugly you are after being disfigured. But do you think other people will see you as a beauty like this?â Charlene said scornfully.
However, Deirdre did not give her any reply.
Charlene did not understand why Brendan couldnât forget a disfigured woman like Deirdre.
It would make her a laughingstock if other people learned that an ugly woman had stepped into her relationship with Brendan!
The more Charlene thought about it, the angrier she became. Driven by her rage, she stretched her arm forward and reached for Deirdreâs mask.
