Chapter 626 Why Should I Trust You?

He had not expected the woman before him to have the nerve to play mind games with him at a moment like this.

“I know exactly what you are thinking. You want to run away, right? I can’t believe that you would stoop so low as to use this kind of excuse. What makes you think that I’ll work with Brendan’s woman?”

‘The devil takes the hindmost. Maybe a second earlier, I was still Brendan’s woman, but since he refused to come to my rescue to save himself, why shouldn’t I find another way to save myself?”

Deirdre said candidly. She laid herself bare and added, “Mr. King, all I care about is my own safety. To achieve my goal, I’m willing to do anything I can, including betray Brendan.”

Cillian squinted his eyes. There was a voice in his mind telling him to guard himself against the woman before him. After all, not everyone could stay as calm as she had when she had been abducted.

That being said, he was curious about the things that Deirdre had said.

‘Then how are you going to take revenge on Brendan?” Cillian pitched his voice low and warned her.

“Don’t tell me that you want me to let you go so you can lead Brendan into some sort of trap. I’m not a fool, Deirdre.”

Deirdre took a deep breath and said, “Of course that’s not what I’m going to do. Since I’m planning to get revenge on Brendan, I’ll think of another way. Anyway, do you know Charlene, Mr. King?”

The name rang a bell, and it took Cillian a short while to recall who she was. “Isn’t she Brendan’s ex-

wife? She’s serving time because she ran over someone with her car. Why did you bring her up all of a sudden, Miss McKinnon?”

Deirdre said, ‘That’s because she’s been released from prison.”

Cillian narrowed his eyes, and Deirdre continued. “She had plastic surgery and now she’s using the name Charli McKinsey. If you don’t believe me, you can go and check yourself, Mr. King.”

“So?” Cillian asked expressionlessly. “What are you trying to say here?”

“I’m sure you know how much Brendan loves Charlene, right? He would do anything for that woman, including sacrifice himself. The reason I have been able to stay by Brendan’s side and reap the benefits is that I look like Charlene,” Deirdre said. “If the person abducted wasn’t me but Charlene, do you think Brendan would have thrown everything away and come to beg you to let her go?”

Gillian’s eyes glowed up. The things that Deirdre had said were exactly what he had been dreaming of.

However, he soon regained his composure and said, “Why should I trust you since you don’t have any proof to support your statement?”

“First of all, I’m not stupid enough to provoke you with a lie that can be exposed at any moment,”

Deirdre said calmly.” Second, you’ll be able to tell if I’m telling the truth or not when you go check it out.

For example, you can check if Charlene is still in prison or not. You can also check if the name Charli McKinsey is real or not.”

Before Cillian could say anything, Deirdre added, “Not only that, but I know where Charlene is right now. You just need to send some people over there and I assure you that you will find her.”

Cillian asked, “Where is she now then?”

Deirdre was not going to tell him that. She struggled a little bit and felt the coarse surface of the rope grazing her skin. Then, she said, “Mr. King, you’re a smart person, but I’m not that gullible either. I need something to secure my safety too. I want you to get me a more comfortable place to stay. I’ll also give you some time to check everything I just said. When you make up your mind, we’ll continue to talk about the details.”
