Chapter 820 He Canât Wait Any Longer Everyone was stunned.
âWhat? That woman isnât Charlene but her cousin? He isnât kidding, right?â âI doubt so. Look at the screen. Miss McKinnonâs information is on the screen. Even if he wants to forge a fake identity, it canât be this detailed. Besides, the victimâs family has already come forward and explained everything personally, so I donât think itâs fake.
That woman isnât Charlene.â âOh my gosh⦠Does this not mean that weâve misunderstood Mr.
Brighthall? I threw stuff at him just nowâ¦â âMe too! I pushed him!â
Mr. Brighthall is such a good man. He didnât get angry at us when we scolded him. If he really is that kind of person who bends the law for personal gain, he would have sent the bodyguard to seize or warn me!â
âThatâs right. Itâs Charlene who made a mistake, but heâs the one compensating the victimâs family. Not only that, but the victimâs parents also talk well about him, and this means that heâs a good person.â
âI need to delete my comments on the Internet. Argh, this is so embarrassing!â
Everyone began to change sides, and the reporter who had questioned Brendan earlier was sweating profusely.
He turned his head around, trying to look for his comrades, but to his surprise, they were already gone.
Brendan looked at him coldly, his gaze filled with oppression as he said, âI donât know why all of you would believe a rumor, but I think youâre all victims. You just got used by someone and became their tool.
âThe stock of the Brighthall Group has been affected by this incident, but Iâm not going to hold anyone to account. This is because I want to give Miss McKinnon, whoâs watching this press conference on the TV, a peaceful life.
âI hope all of you will forget about this and let her go back to her normal life. I hope she wonât get beaten up again when she goes to the grocery store like a normal person. Thank you.â
His voice entered Deirdreâs ears through the speaker.
Mrs. Engel closed her mouth with her hand, and her eyes were filled with tears. âMrs. Brighthall, Mr.
Brighthall held this press conference for you. Iâve been wondering why he wanted to go out despite his wound. He went to explain everything and clear your name in public.â
Deirdre was stunned. When she came to her senses, she clenched her fists. She did not know what to do now.
Given Brendanâs identity, he did not have to show himself in front of the public as a group of people in his company would handle a situation like this. However, the fact that he willingly showed himself in a press conference meant that he could not wait any longer. He just wanted to end all of this as soon as possible.
He had told her that he would put an end to all of this, and he did it.
Deirdre remembered Brendanâs silence when she asked if he would bring Charlene to justice.
In the end, he was just protecting Charlene, not her. i âSwitch off the TV.â âMrs. Brighthallâ¦â Mrs. Engel was anxious. She thought Deirdre would change her view on Brendan after what he did, but apparently, Deirdre remained impassive.
After Deirdre finished speaking, she went upstairs and locked herself up in her room.
Meanwhile, the press conference came to an end.
As everyone watched on, Brendan went into his car, and Cormac said happily, âMr. Brighthall, the press conference is a success. Everyone is praising you right now, and the crisis is also lifted.â
