Chapter 689 Can You Be More Heartless?
âBrendan, do you want me to remind you again? Weâre no longer husband and wife. I can go wherever I want. You have no right to control me!â
âI have no right?â Brendan was so infuriated that he felt a throbbing pain in his temples.
âWhat about your boyfriend? Does your boyfriend allow you to hug another man? Deirdre, have you no shame?â
âHave I no shame?â
Deirdre sneered coldly.
She might feel a bit embarrassed if other people said something like this to her, but what made Brendan think he could judge her like this? The only person in this world who did not have the right to say that she was shameless was him.
âEven if Iâm shameless, at least I know that we need to keep our promise. What about you, Mr.
Brighthall?â Deirdre said through gritted teeth. She forced down her anger and scoffed mockingly. âHow much truth is there in what you say?â
Brendan parted his lips. There were a lot of things he wanted to say, but he swallowed them back into his stomach pit. In the end, he just said, âI know what youâre trying to say, but I promise you that Charlene wonât hurt you anymore!â
Deirdreâs eyes turned red around the rims, and her entire body was shaking as she laughed.
She had been waiting for a long time to bring Charlene to justice, but in the end, Brendan just told her that Charlene would not hurt her anymore.
Of course, Charlene would not hurt her anymore. This was because no matter how ruthless Charlene was, Brendan was even more ruthless than her. He was the main source of all her pain. He had driven her to the verge of insanity. The pain that she suffered afterward was nothing compared to the pain that Brendan caused her.
âBrendan⦠I keep on thinking that after all the disgusting things youâve done, can you get any more ruthless and drive me even closer to despair?â Deirdre clenched her fists tightly and grinned bitterly.
âApparently, you never let me down in this matter.â
Brendan closed his eyes and breathed hard to get rid of the pain that was torturing him. He avoided her question and said, âItâs time for you to go back today.â
Before Deirdre could say anything, he added, âItâs okay if you donât want to come back with me, but I can assure you that your friend here will have to go back even if he doesnât want to.â
âIs he threatening me?â
When the thought surfaced in Deirdreâs head, her eyes widened as she shouted, âWhat are you going to do again?â
âIâm sure you know more than I do about what I want to do. After all, weâve slept on the same bed for two years. You should know more about me than anyone else,â Brendan said coldly.
âYouâre a monsterâ¦â Deirdreâs eyes turned bloodshot. She did not expect Brendan to be so shameless.
At that moment, the door to the private room on the second floor opened up.
Charlene had long heard the commotion outside. It was just that the noise was so loud that she didnât hear who it was. Right now, she just happened to come out to call Brendan, but she never imagined that the man she was waiting for had already arrived.
Not only that, but he was also arguing with his ex-wife right now.
Charlene did not get angry. Instead, she was happy when she saw Deirdre. After all, she had long wanted to look for Deirdre.
âMiss McKinnon? What a small world. I didnât expect to run into you here. Iâm sure that this must be the doing of God,â Charlene said as she walked down the stairs. Even though there were two black circles around her eyes, her cheeks were ruddy. She walked up to Brendan with a smile on her face and said with her mouth pouted, âWhy didnât you tell me that youâre already here?â
Brendanâs face turned pale as he stared fixedly at Charlene.
Charlene blinked her eyes and coiled her arm around his affectionately. Since fate has brought all of us together, why donât you come with Brendan and me? After all, weâre friends, and Iâm sure we have a lot of things to catch up to.â
âFriend that almost got sent to prison?â Deirdre sneered coldly. Her heart was filled with disappointment as she watched the two clinging figures in front of her.
