Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 117

Chapter 117 You’re So Unwilling to Part With Her

Brendan gnashed his teeth. ‘This is all she’s concerned about at this point.’

“You should have acted differently if you knew it would come to this!”

Deirdre laughed and felt her head spinning. ‘You’re right. I should have acted differently if I knew it would come to this…’

In the end, Brendan drove and abandoned her at the villa. He said coldly, “Charlene is still in the hospital. I’ll bring her to the villa when she has recovered. Remember to speak, and don’t pretend to be mute by then!”

Brendan drove away before Deirdre could answer. He found Madam Brighthall in the room when he arrived at the hospital. Her expression was slightly unpleasant when she saw Brendan.

“You’re here just at the right time, Brendan. Follow me outside. I have something to talk to you about.”

Madam Brighthall got up, shut the door, and made her way to the side with Brendan. She said eagerly, “Have you lost your mind, Brendan? That woman has already resulted in Charlene’s admittance to the hospital twice. Charlene almost lost the use of her legs previously, and she almost caused Charlene’s death this time! You still won’t get rid of the woman after all these?”

“Mother.” Brendan furrowed his eyebrows. His flawless, handsome face was filled with gloominess. “This is a complicated matter. You shouldn’t intrude.”

“Complicated?” Madam Brighthall sneered. “I would like to know how complicated it is. Could it be that this is not that woman’s fault? Charlene is in her current condition after she showed up!”

“Yes.” Brendan exhaled, looked up, and said in a righteous tone, “However, I’m equally responsible too.”

Madam Brighthall was shaking. “Here you go again! You are still obsessed and are constantly backing that woman. When it comes to assuming responsibility, do you remember that you promised Charlene that you would treat her well for the rest of your life? What’s with that woman that makes you so unwilling to part with her!?”

The words ‘unwilling to part with her’ affected Brendan. He furrowed his eyebrows and said, “It’s not that I’m unwilling to part with her!”

“If that is not the case, make her leave then! Don’t let her show up, within our sight anymore!”

Brendan clenched his fists tightly until his knuckles turned white. “I have to give her the punishment she deserves first, anyhow.”

As soon as he made the remark, Madam Brighthall was momentarily stunned.

Brendan said, “How can she get an end so easily? The act of making Deirdre leave is an easy out for her. I’m going to handle this matter properly to ensure that Charlene won’t be treated unjustly again. Don’t worry. You should head home earlier to rest.” He gave the order to the bodyguards to send Madam Brighthall off. He turned around and found Charlene already standing at the door of her room. Her face was ghastly pale, and she forced a quick smile. “I heard what you told Mother earlier. I hope you don’t misunderstand this. I didn’t tell her that my injury was due to Ms. McKinnon. She found out about it herself, and I don’t have any intention for her to get rid of Ms. McKinnon either…”

She had her head lowered, aggrieved. Brendan suppressed the agitation he felt in his chest and patted her back. Charlene took the opportunity to lie on his chest.

“Brendan, isn’t it good to let Ms. McKinnon leave? I’m so scared that you’ll be deceived by her once again. I was lucky to be found by you and saved. How about next time?”

“I won’t.” Brendan pursed his lips tightly, his dark eyes cold. “I will never believe a single thing that comes out of her mouth from now on. When you get better, come back to my villa to recuperate. I’ll get Deirdre to take care of you and compensate for her mistake.”

‘Compensate?’

Charlene’s expression turned unpleasant, and she clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms where Brendan could not see.

‘Brendan still doesn’t want to get rid of Deirdre even after almost causing my death? What the heck is he thinking!?’

Charlene attempted to calm herself with all her might from the anger.

‘It’s fine. If I can vilify Deirdre once, I can vilify her once more just the same.’
