Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116 Will You Let Him Off

‘All this just because of Sterling? She has a complete emotional breakdown just because he is punished lightly? She declared something that she has denied all this time.’

Brendan’s chest was burning with anger, and he had no idea why.

He wanted Deirdre to admit to it and was aiming for this particular goal, yet he was furious at the very moment she finally relented.

He clutched her weak, thin wrist with his grip so strong that he could crush her bones. “Deirdre, you have finally admitted to it!”

“Yes.”

She had no choice but to admit it. Her innocence was nothing compared to Sterling. Moreover, Brendan had never believed that she was innocent.

“I knew it. You’re despicable and unscrupulous, just as expected.” He was infuriated, and his grip over Deirdre was so strong that her little face turned pale. “Why did I trust you and feel sorry for you in the past? Deirdre, you should be the one to take the sleeping pills! You should be the one to die!”

Deirdre was about to suffocate to death. “Yes, it should be me…”

She endured the pain and held back her tears. She enunciated her words clearly when she said, “Hence, I will apologize to Charlene and beg for her forgiveness. I will also swear an oath, just as long as you let Sterling off…”

Her hands would be fine, but he would not be able to perform surgeries if his hands were damaged.

The hands were a doctor’s most important tool.

Brendan pushed away Deirdre ferociously, and she was caught off guard that she fell to the sofa, hitting her head.

Sterling’s thin lips were ghastly pale, and he had his head lowered to clean up the floor. He ran up to her upon witnessing the scene. “What are you doing, Brendan!? How could you do this? It’s Deirdre’s misfortune for being acquainted with you!”

Had Andre not stopped Sterling with his quick, agile movements, Sterling would have already hit Brendan.

Brendan wiped his hands with a tissue after touching Deirdre’s hands. He looked at Sterling with icy-cold eyes and a sneer on his lips. “Misfortune? You’re wrong.

Deirdre enjoyed being treated by me in this manner. She is inherently despicable and comes to me obediently like a dog when I call out to her. You may ask her if you don’t believe me.”

He spoke in contempt.

Sterling’s eyes were bloodshot with anger.

Deirdre was gasping for air but still struggled to speak. “Yes. I chose to stay with Brendan willingly. Sterling, I’m grateful that you came to my help, but you will only put me in more trouble when you behave this way.”

“Deirdre… Why are you being like this? What does he know that gives him a hold over you?”

Deirdre got up from the sofa with great difficulty. She did not answer the question but said with a lowered gaze, “Sterling, listen to me and leave Neve for the sake that we’re friends.”

Sterling was incredulous. “Deirdre… Are you getting rid of me?”

Deirdre turned her face away. Brendan narrowed his eyes because he understood Deirdre’s intention.

He would not be able to do anything to Sterling if the latter were to move to another city. She would spare no effort in saving Sterling.

‘That’s really naive!’

“Sterling, don’t you understand the words?” Brendan had a mocking expression. “She wants to get rid of you. If that’s the case, you should leave soon so you won’t be an eyesore.”

Sterling refused to do that, naturally. However, he could not fight against Andre and the few bodyguards posted outside. He was pulled outside by force.

Deirdre was gasping for air when the door was closed, holding her chest. She could feel the constant heartburn from the acid reflux. Even though she did not eat much, she could not refrain from hurling.

‘This is disgusting. Everything is too disgusting.’

When the hurling was over, she suppressed the bitterness she tasted on her tongue and said with reddened eyes, “You’re going to let him off, right? Don’t let him be sent to the detention facility. I’ll apologize to Charlene.”
