Resent Reject Regret by Aqua Summers novel Chapter 158

Chapter 158 Found Something

“Yes.”

“I wanted to inform you the other day that the homeless man is dead.”

Deirdre was incredulous. “He’s dead? How did he die out of nowhere?”

Sam’s eyes turned gloomy. “I’m not too sure, but I heard that he died from food poisoning. However, I believe that the matter is certainly not as simple as it seems. I believe that Miss McKinney tried to destroy all the evidence in an attempt to hide her tracks after executing her plan.”

Upon hearing that, Deirdre shivered despite not feeling cold and felt a shiver down her spine.

‘How can Charlene be so sinister? She took a man’s life!

‘On the other hand, Brendan is ridiculous. How will he feel when he finds out one day that the woman he trusts and loves is actually a devil?’

She bantered herself in her head and said to Sam, “So, does that mean that dead men tell no tales?”

“I thought so too initially.” Sam smirked. “For that, I looked into the homeless man and found nothing useful other than that he had a homeless friend when he was alive. I didn’t pay much attention to it until yesterday when the homeless man’s friend showed up in the casino.”

Deirdre was momentarily stunned but came to realize something soon afterward. Her expression was tainted with a tinge of joy. “The homeless man’s friend is a homeless man too. He can’t possibly have the money to go to the casino. Something must have happened!”

“That’s right.” Sam stared closely at the woman’s face. Her face was savagely hideous without any sense of beauty, yet he could feel his heart racing when he saw the joy on her face.

He stopped himself from behaving strangely and said, “Hence, I think that it’s highly possible for the man to be the profiteer. He used the homeless man’s mental illness and made him kill Bliss. This is why ther police can’t find anything.”

Deirdre asked cautiously, “Did you manage to find out anything then?”

She was worried that all the effort would be futile.

“Soon. I’m looking into his unknown income. If I can find the source of the money transfer and get someone to make him speak, I believe that this matter can be solved.”

“That’s great…” Deirdre clenched her fists tightly while her eyes reddened with tears. She was so powerless in the past that she could only endure the pain of losing her child. However, she would be able to provide a proper closure to Bliss today.

Sam refrained from the urge to touch Deirdre’s teary eyes. He poured a glass of water and moved closer to Deirdre.

“Here, Miss McKinnon. You’ve slept for three whole days, so I believe that you must be thirsty after talking so much earlier. Have some water.”

“Sure.” Deirdre was so excited that she was in a dazed state. She stretched out her hand to grab the water, only to hold Sam’s hand accidentally.

Sam pulled back his hand because he was caught off guard by the electric-like sensation and dropped the glass on Deirdre’s leg, splashing her with water.

Brendan witnessed the scene as soon as he came into the hospital. He furrowed his eyebrows upon

seeing Sam’s reaction. Yet, Deirdre was still smiling in a clueless, innocent manner.

“What’s with the huge reaction? My hands are rough, but they are not knives. They won’t hurt you.”

She cracked a sincere smile after learning that Bliss’ death would be cleared at last.

Brendan clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles popped after seeing her smile.

‘An errant woman will never know her place even in death.’

He gnashed his teeth and sneered aloud. “Is this not a good time for me to visit?”

His voice sounded icy cold, like a curse in the dark night.

Deirdre trembled. The joy on her face vanished into nothingness, and it was replaced by confusion and terror instantly.

She looked toward the door, completely perplexed.
