Chapter 532 Still A Wife of Brendan The lawyer frowned. âWhatâs happened? Isnât it just Ms. McKinnon? You just need to insist that both of you are just emotionally entangled. She resents that her ex-husband wants to marry you, so she slandered you on this matter. In this case, weâll have a high probability of winning even if the case is brought to trial.â
âThis is the problem!â Charlene was so angry that she was shivering. âShe is not the only witness.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âIn order to kidnap Deirdre at that time, I got a woman who knew Deirdre to lure her out. But it is obvious now that the woman has become a turncoat, and she may accuse me in court!â
âHow could this be?â The lawyer couldnât help but frown heavily. âIt might be difficult with two witnesses.
How could you create weaknesses for yourself when you were deciding to employ someone?â
âI never expected that b*tch to survive. I learned sheâs alive only when the police arrested me!â While gnashing her teeth, Charlene added, âIf I knew she would survive, Iâd have-â
Eyes flickering, Charlene demanded, âIâll give you the address of Maeve OâKeefe. Go to her and convince her regardless! Money is not a big deal as long as she shuts up!â
âMs. McKinnon, hold on.â When Deirdre was on her way out with Declan, a police officer came. âCan I talk to you privately for a while?â
âSure,â replied Deirdre, who turned to Declan.
âIâll wait for you outside,â replied Declan with a smile.
Deirdre nodded in reply to Declan.
After Declan left, she went to a quiet place together with the police officer. Following that, she asked, â
What is it that youâd like to talk about?â
âWe talked to Charli McKinsey before you came and learned from her that both of you used to have conflicts?â asked the police officer in a serious manner âIt is not really a conflict. At most, her self-righteousness made her see me as her imaginary enemy.
There is nothing between Brendan and me already.â
âNothing?â The police officer was confused. âArenât you two a married couple?â
âYes.â Deirdre added, âBut it was in the past. We have divorced. Otherwise, how could he have a new fiancee?â
âThis is why I wanted to ask you privately for confirmation. We saw your personal information, and your status shows you are married. In other words, you and Mr. Brighthall are still a married couple,â
explained the police officer.
Upon hearing the police officer, Deirdre was stunned. âHowâs it possible!?â
âWhether both of you are a married couple, donât you know it personally?â The police officer couldnât understand.

Deirdre was struck dumb. She didnât know what to explain. She had been under the impression that Brendan would take the initiative to file for divorce when she faked her death.
âDid you see it wrongly?â
âUnlikely,â replied the police officer with a smile.
Deirdreâs face turned white. âIs there any method for me to file a divorce without him knowing?â
The police officer thought Deirdre was joking. âMiss McKinnon, are you pulling my leg? Filing a divorce needs both partiesâ agreement. Moreover, if you want to file a divorce, isnât it easy just contacting Mr.
Brighthall?â
âEasy?â
Deirdre smiled wryly because the matter wouldnât be a headache if it was that easy.
âI canât get to meet him.â
Startled, the police officer looked at her and asked with disbelief, âHowâs it possible?â
