Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129 Use Your Brain to Think When You Attempt to Vilify Someone

Deirdre put on the clothes indifferently and followed Brendan downstairs. As soon as she reached the first floor, she heard the sound of high heels clicking coming from the entrance. Soon, Charlene walked over and said smilingly, “It’s a pity that you left so early. You missed the climax of the musical.

“The main character’s dog died after being dismembered. It was truly exhilarating to watch.” She enunciated her words clearly and emphasized her remark on purpose.

Deirdre’s eyes turned bloodshot instantly as she ran toward Charlene and clutched her throat, roaring hysterically, “You’re heartless! It was just a dog!”

“Dierdre!”

“Ms. McKinnon!”

It all happened so unexpectedly that Charlene was thrown into the coffee table. Deirdre’s eyes were bloodshot, and she used all the strength in her ten fingers to choke Charlene.

Brendan pulled her away from Charlene and threw her to the floor coldly. He showed concern for Charlene instead, asking, “Are you alright, Charlene?”

Deirdre knocked her head on the staircase handrail during the fall, and a loud thud was heard. However, Brendan did not feel sorry for her.

‘Charlene is actually provoking me on purpose. Isn’t seeing me have an emotional breakdown exactly what Charlene wants to achieve? She has gotten what she wished for.’

“Brendan…” Charlene wept and covered her throat with her hands. She then looked at Deirdre in fear. “What happened? Did I offend Ms. McKinnon? Why would she suddenly do this…”

Brendan’s face turned green from anger, and he glared at Deirdre. “Apologize, Deirdre!”

Deirdre’s head was filled with all sorts of voices. There was Charlene’s intentional provocation, Bliss’ whining, and Brendan’s raging roar.

She said with red eyes, “Why would I apologize to someone who would even kill a dog!”

“Kill a dog?” Charleen’s beautiful face turned ghastly pale. “What are you talking about, Ms. McKinnon? I don’t understand. What’s going on?”

Brendan’s expression turned cold. “Stop acting like a madman, Deirdre. Sam has already investigated the situation. You are the one who didn’t shut the door properly and caused the dog to get out of the room. A homeless man got into the backyard through a hole in the fence and killed the dog. The surveillance footage shows everything clearly. This incident is completely unrelated to Charlene!”

‘Completely unrelated?’

Deirdre’s mind went blank. ‘A homeless man entered the backyard through a hole and killed Bliss by coincidence? How could it be such a coincidence that Charlene made me go out to get some clothes right when Bliss died a tragic death…’

“That’s impossible! It must be here!”

Other than Charlene, who else would want her to have an emotional breakdown so badly?

Brendan looked down at Charlene in contempt. “Charlene was watching the musical with me the whole night. How could she have walked away to kill the dog in the backyard on my watch? Deirdre, you ought to use your brain to think when you attempt to vilify someone!”

Deirdre breathed heavily. She wondered if the weather was cold, as her entire body was freezing.

“So it turns out that something bad happened to Ms. McKinnon’s pet dog, huh. It’s my fault for making a triggering remark earlier.”

“You’re too kind, Charlene. You don’t need to speak on her behalf.” Brendan took a glance at Deirdre impatiently. “Someone like her will never remember your kindness, and she will always try to figure out a way to frame you. You were so concerned about her being cold that you made Sam take her to get some clothes.”

“Ms. McKinnon doesn’t like me, I guess… That’s very normal too. However, we shall not make a fuss since she’s so pitiful.”

Charlene’s soothing words and her deep affection when she interacted with Brendan flawlessly showed that she was the winner at that very moment.

Brendan loathed Deirdre even more. “Don’t bother paying attention to her. Let’s go upstairs.”

Before Brendan left, he took a cold glance at Deirdre and said, “Exercise control over your hands. I’m going to dismember you like that dog if you lay a hand on Charlene again!”
