Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers

Chapter 57 What Makes You Think That It's Charlene?

"You'll have time." Deirdre nodded. "However, I don't have time to spend on you.

anymore."

She clenched her fists tightly. She felt her heart bleed with every word she said, yet there was nothing she could do. She had to sever her ties with Sterling completely in front of Brendan. Otherwise, this matter would never come to an end.

"Plus, Brendan treats me well. I believe that this incident was just an accident and it won't happen again in the future. I will be with him until he's bored of me. You should leave."

"Deirdre! Why are you saying this against your will!"

Brendan was very displeased. He grabbed Sterling by the collar. "What do you mean by 'against your will"?"

He declared in a slightly arrogant tone, "Deirdre has loved me to death from the start. She would walk in the rain for 20 kilometers just to see me in the past. You're only the man that she latched on to when she couldn't see. Don't think too highly of yourself!"

Upon saying that, he summoned Sam. "Please escort Mr. Fuller outside and don't let him take even half a step near the room next time!"

Sterling refused to obey, but Sam was a professional bodyguard whose body was very muscular. It was only a matter of time before he forcibly removed Sterling.

Brendan shut the door after Sterling left, and a faint smile appeared on his thin lips. He looked at Deirdre, who was lying on the bed, and said, "Don't worry. I'll never grow bored of you. As long as you behave yourself and obey me, I will provide for you for the rest of your life."

He had no idea why his charitable remark would make Deirdre's face turn ghastly pale. She shut her eyes and pulled the blanket over her head. "You should go out. I'm tired."

Her unexpected coldness astounded Brendan, who reacted to the situation by pulling away the blanket covering her head. "What do you mean, Deirdre?"

Deirdre's chest was still throbbing. She endured the pain by clenching her fists tightly and said, "Nothing. I would like to rest."

"Why didn't you ask to rest when Sterling was getting you water? Why are you all

about resting as soon as he left?" Brendan was furious for no reason. He suddenly realized something and said, "I understand now. You must be blaming me for not assigning staff members to care for you unti you almost lost your voice, right? I told you that this won't happen again. Why are you being so narrow-minded?"

'Narrow-minded?'

Deirdre took a deep breath, her breath trembling when she exhaled. She was in great pain, yet the physical pain could not triumph over the psychological pain she felt.

She had almost lost her voice.

She had been disfigured, blinded, and her voice had almost been muted. How could she not be allowed to feel angry about that? All she had said was that she was tired, yet he had accused her of being narrow-minded?

Perhaps Brendan realized that he had gone too far after seeing her ghastly pale face, as he said, "Don't worry. I will give you a proper explanation. I'll capture the person who barged into your room and punish him personally so you can vent your anger."

Deirdre shut her eyes, but even the act of swallowing her own saliva burned. She said, "Brendan, I've always been very sensitive to sounds. It's apparent that I've never met the person who barged into the room. Do you think that he would take the huge risk to poison me until I became mute all by himself?"

"What do you mean?"

"It was Charlene." Deirdre bit her lower lip tightly. "She instigated this. She wants me to keep my mouth shut for eternity. She wants me to be an invalid!"

"That's impossible!" Brendan said harshly. His flawless, handsome face was filled with agitation as he asked coldly, "Do you have proof that Charlene instigated this incident? We haven't even captured the man who did it, so nothing is certain. What makes you think that it was Charlene?"
