Chapter 531 I Want You To Pay The Price Charlene had thus lost another advantage in competing with Deirdre.
Meanwhile, Deirdre, who was facing Charleneâs oppressive eyes, remained calm and collected. It was as if she wasnât facing her enemy, who once wished to kill her. She even lifted up the corner of her mouth.
âMiss McKinney, how are you doing? Itâs been about two weeks since we last met, hasnât it?â
Charlene regained her calmness and smiled. âIâm sorry I donât get you. What I know is that we havenât seen each other since we were separated from Neve. In fact, I have been wondering why the police came to me. It turns out that Miss McKinnon is trying to avenge me by plotting against me because she is jealous that her ex-husband has fallen for me and wants to marry me.â
âSo, you wonât confess regardless, right?â said Deirdre while looking at Charlene.
While blinking her eyes, Charlene rebutted, âWhat do you want me to confess? Miss McKinnon, do you know that I am innocent? Iâm not surprised that you hate me because of our emotional entanglement.
However, you canât blame me for no reason, can you?â
âMaeve OâKeefe. Can you still remember her?â
Charleneâs smile froze for a second when she heard Deirdreâs question.
She clenched her fists and asked, âWhat do you mean?â
Composed, Deirdre said, âYou deny it probably because you think that with me as the witness, you donât think the police can detain you for long without evidence, in addition to the emotional entanglement between us. But what about if thereâs another witness?â
At that moment, Charlene lost her smile.
âYou thought I was dead. And because you got a scapegoat and no one else would think that you were the culprit, you didnât think of other aspects at all. What you didnât expect was that not everyone would keep this secret for you.â
âWhat do you want to do?â asked Charlene with her fists clenched.
Deirdre rose to her feet. Her eyes betrayed her hatred as she replied, âI want you to get the retribution you deserve, and I want you to pay the price!â
Hints of fluster could be seen in Charleneâs eyes. She took a deep breath and kept denying it. âMiss McKinnon, there is no grievance or enmity between us. Why are you trying to slander me when the relationship between you and Brendan has ended?â
âYou will know thoroughly when the case is brought to trial.â Taking two steps towards the exit, Deirdre remembered something and stopped to add, âDonât worry. It wonât be long.â
Charlene stared at Deirdre with bloodshot eyes, who went out when a police officer opened the door for her. She saw Declan approaching Deirdre with a concerned expression before the door was closed.
Charlene could remember the scene when she first met Declan. At that time, even though Declan was smiling brightly, his gaze was indifferent. Therefore, Declanâs current expression showed that he was obviously concerned about Deirdre.
She began wondering whether she had misunderstood Deirdre and Brendan. Perhaps Deirdre was Declanâs partner instead?
Thinking of Declanâs identity, size believed she would lose the court case if he were to help Deirdre!
And she was flustered.
When a police officer approached her, she immediately shouted, âWhereâs my lawyer!? Call him here now!â
Not long after Charleneâs lawyer came and the door was closed behind them, Charlene overturned the table to vent her anger. âThat b*tch! She actually survived! What the h*ll did they do!?â
The lawyer glanced outside and said, âMiss McKinsey, please talk softer. Although the police have no right to bug our conversation in this room, it doesnât mean they canât hear us.
âSo what if they hear us? This is already the case!â
