Chapter 794: Chapter 795

Chapter 795 I’ll Give You Another Chance “Where is the place you made wine during your childhood? Deirdre was forced to look up at the man’s facial outline. In the next moment, she turned her head. “Is that important? You won’t let me go there anyway.”

Brendan loathed Deirdre’s close relationship with Tobey when they were young. It felt as if the closer Tobey and Deirdre were, the further the distance between him and her grew.

They had secrets between them that he was unaware of.

“It’s not important, but I would like to know what he left for you.”

“Are you scared?” Deirdre sneered and looked at Brendan while she said,” Are you scared that the object hidden by Tobey will make me distance myself from you?”

Brendan did not speak but stared at her closely. Deirdre shoved away his hands calmly. “You can set your mind at ease if that is your concern. If I could leave you, why would Tobey have only told me today?”

She made sense. If there was a possibility for her to turn the tables, Tobey would not have waited until now. In addition, how could Tobey have the capability to make drastic changes at this point?

Perhaps it was just a trick to buy time.

Even if that were the case, Brendan was still exercising caution by sending a text message to Declan so that the latter could run a thorough search through Madame Russell’s house with his staff members.

“What did you say again? Brendan is asking for Steven to be transferred back to the country?”

Charlene’s face turned red in anger upon receiving the call. Her gaze was filled with panic that could not be concealed. “How could that be… Why is it happening so suddenly? He couldn’t be bothered with Steven for a long time!”

“Most probably, it has to do with the imprisonment incident. There might be a new development in the incident, and Mr. Brighthall must have learned about it. As such, he wants Steven to be transferred back for inquiry.” The voice halted to a stop before adding, “Steven won’t stand a chance against Mr.

Brighthall’s interrogation if he comes back. I think that the prison incident will be exposed soon enough.”

“No!” Charlene gnashed her teeth in anger. She had just only managed to appease Brendan, so she would not allow this matter to destroy her effort. She wanted to be Mrs. Brighthall so she could be at the top of the food chain in Neve!

After hanging up the call, she could not be bothered to pack and hastily got into a taxi to the hotel.

She knocked on the door of the penthouse, and a voice was heard from the inside saying, “Come in.”

Charlene opened the door shakily. Not a ray of light illuminated the room, and the room reeked of cigarettes. A man was seated on the right side of the room, his fingers lit by a bright red, fiery glow.

“Is Steven coming back?”

Charlene did not expect that the man would find out her purpose so quickly. She bowed down in a haste. “Save me, sir! We can’t allow Steven to come back! He will certainly not be able to keep his mouth shut. If Brendan finds out about the numerous incidents that happened to Deirdre in prison, he will most certainly be so furious that he might even kill me to vent his anger!”

At that point, Charlene could not help trembling in fear. The man did not move. After a while, he put out his cigarette and said, ” What will you give me if I help you? If my memory serves me right, I gave you a bargaining chip, but you didn’t even manage to get a grip on Brendan’s love.”

“I can do it! Please give me another chance, sir! As long as Brendan and I are married…” Charlene said in a terrified tone, “As long as Brendan and I are married, I will be the wife of the Brighthall Group’s CEO, and it will be a trivial matter for me to do something with the company…”

The man rubbed his lower jaw and said, “Sure, I’ll give you another chance.” Charlene was relieved and left in fear.

When the door was closed, the man’s assistant said, “Sir, this woman is not trustworthy. She is greedy and won’t help US until the end.”

“I know.” The man fiddled with his thumb ring and cracked a cold smirk.” However, we need someone foolish as a distraction anyhow.

“Oh right, we can let the cat out of the bag for Brendan on that end.”
