Chapter 173 Don’t Want to Confront Her

“Brendan? Why aren’t you speaking?” Charlene felt rather surprised when she did not receive a response. She bit her lower lip and said, “Are you still angry at me?”

Deirdre could only say, “Brendan is not in the office.”

As soon as those words were spoken, Charlene’s expression changed drastically and her voice turned into a high-pitch screech. “Deirdre! Why are you picking up Brendan’s phone?! Who gave you permission to do so? Pass the phone to Brendan immediately.” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Her voice was so piercing that Deirdre had no choice but to hold the phone further away from her. She could not help mocking her. “Ms. McKinney, it would be best for you to be gentle. If Brendan is next to me, he’s probably going to be very disappointed to hear your hostile tone.”

“Stop talking nonsense. Deirdre, you b*tch. Did you figure out a way to get Brendan to come to you? Are you going to take Brendan away from me?”

Charlene had lost her senses from anger. It was most likely because none of her calls had been picked up by Brendan after her departure yesterday.

She had comforted herself by telling herself that Brendan was probably asleep. However, she had felt lingering fear when Brendan had yet to respond the next day. She had thus prepared the porridge and taken it to Brendan’s office to make it up to him.

She had not expected that she would miss Brendan and Brendan would actually be at Deirdre’s place!

“Take Brendan away from you? Do you think it’s necessary for me to do so?” Deirdre listened to the sounds in the kitchen and increased the intensity of her mockery as she spoke to Charlene. “You should

understand Brendan’s character much better than I do. If he wasn’t here of his own volition, no one could

have made him do it. Hence, he’s only here because he wants to.”

‘He willingly headed to Deirdre’s place and ignored my text messages and calls?’

Charlene panicked. She clenched her teeth and made a threatening remark. “I’m warning you to stay far away from Brendan at once, Deirdre. Otherwise, I assure you that you will regret this! I’ll make you suffer so much that you’ll wish you were dead!”

“Whose voice is that?”

Brendan walked over with a plate of pasta and overheard the clamorous voice. Even though he had no idea what the conversation was about, it was apparent that the caller was furious.

Charlene felt her heart racing while Deirdre placed the phone on the table calmly. “It’s Charlene.”

Brendan’s dark eyes were tainted with a wisp of astonishment and complicated emotions when he heard. the name. Soon, he pushed the plate in his hand toward Deirdre and said, “Eat this first.”

Deirdre picked up a fork and began eating without uttering a word.

Brendan picked up the phone and took the call. “Charlene.”

Suppressing the restless feeling in her heart, Charlene began to cry and complain. “Is what Ms. McKinnon told me true, Brendan? Are you really going to leave me? I know that it was my fault for causing Bliss’ death. I didn’t manage my subordinates properly. I will take the punishment willingly if you wish, but please don’t ever ignore me! I’m really scared!”

“I’m not ignoring you.” Brendan watched Deirdre eating the pasta slowly and walked to the other side. before he said, “You’re overthinking this.”

“Really?” Charlene sobbed. “Then why won’t you take my calls and why are you with Ms. McKinnon? I waited for you in the office for a long time, and the food I specifically prepared for you all morning is cold. now. Before Ms. McKinnon picked up my call, had you been planning on ignoring me from now on? Do you hate me?”

Charlene’s pressure made him appear agitated. He did not wish to confront Charlene at this exact

moment for some unknown reason.

He had yet to come up with an excuse to convince himself to believe that the woman who had risked her life by running into the fire to save him in the past would kill a dog so cruelly.

Had Deirdre not found the evidence, Charlene would have never cared about the countless grievances Deirdre had endured.
