Chapter 623: Chapter 624

Chapter 624 He Won’t Be Coming Cillian did not fall for her trick. He sneered and said, “You can’t escape from your responsibility in this matter, Miss McKinnon. If you were to behave yourself and go along with my plan, I wouldn’t need to go as far as to be punished like this.”

As he was speaking, he could not help but inhale sharply. He cupped his extremely swollen face, and a look of malice flashed past his eyes. “However, don’t you worry, Miss McKinnon. Brendan is definitely not having it easier than you.”

Deirdre could fully confirm that Gillian’s target was Brendan judging by his speech. She said, “You loathe Brendan so much. I’m curious why you didn’t capture Brendan but came for me instead?”

Cillian cracked a taunting smile. “Are you really confused, or are you acting confused? Brendan loves you so much. Will he remain unconcerned if he finds out that you’ve been abducted? He will surely sacrifice everything he can, even if it means that he has to bow down to me just to ensure your safety!”

Deirdre was calm upon hearing that, but she chuckled. Cillian furrowed his eyebrows. “Why are you laughing?”

“I’m laughing about how you are more naive than me, Mr. King.”

Cillian could not help being infuriated.

“What do you mean?”

Deirdre raised her head and said in a very convincing tone,” Brendan won’t be coming.”

“Why?” Cillian stared at Deirdre in puzzlement.

‘The reason is simple. If you were in Brendan’s position, would you let someone lead you by the nose for a woman? Do you think that a man like Brendan has a lack of women?

Do you think he would allow himself to come here and be hampered because of me?”

These were Deirdre’s innermost thoughts.

It would perhaps be possible for her to waver Brendan if she was Charlene. However, she was Deirdre, a woman Brendan refused to look at for two years. It was possible that her death would equate to a crushed ant to Brendan.

“If it were me, I wouldn’t allow myself to be hampered because of a woman. However, Brendan isn’t me.” Cillian sneered. “Deirdre, don’t think that I can’t read your mind. You’re trying to make me give up on torturing Brendan. However, I can see everything he did for you and how he treated you. It’s evident you mean something else to Brendan.

“If you were just any other woman, he wouldn’t be bothered about your chastity so much that he even barged into Kings Manse to beat me up mercilessly. He would only act like this because he has true feelings for you!”

“You’re wrong.” Deirdre had no idea if she should praise Brendan for being so good at acting. “He barged into your house and beat you up because his woman had fallen for your scheme, and he felt provoked and displeased by that. For example, you’re not fond of Ms. Smith, right? However, would you be unconcerned if she were to fall for someone’s scheme and her chastity was ruined?”

‘The answer is no, of course.’

Gillian’s gaze turned dim at once. In the next moment, Cillian burst out laughing aloud.

“How will you know if you don’t give it a try? In addition…” Cillian sized up Deirdre’s face meaningfully and clutched her chin strenuously with his fingers. He forced her to tilt her head back so he could meet her clear, bright, seductive eyes.

“If he really is unconcerned about your safety, this abduction is not considered futile either. You look pretty, at the very least. I believe the joy will be doubled if I toy with Brendan’s woman until she is ruined, right? When I grow bored of toying with you, I’ll leave you in Mystic Midnight so you can be a hostess there. Taking that beating is not in vain if that is the case.”

The more he spoke, the deeper his voice sounded, as if he was pleased with the idea that came to him.
