Resent, Reject, Regret By Aqua Summers Chapter 27


    Chapter 27 You’re Coming Home With Me


    Brendan was so infuriated that his eyes turned beet red. He had never been relegated to second ce


    by a woman before. He had never felt this way before!


    “Is that how important that son of a b*tch is to you?! You’re acting as if you’ll die if you aren’t with him!”


    Deirdre clenched her hands into fists. The way the maid had spokenbined with how inferiorly he


    was treated in his own family – implied that he had suffered some serious bodily harm. And yet,


    Brendan did not give a damn about his suffering!


    He had always been like this! He’d always treated everyone else’s lives as insignificant and


    expendable!


    His apathy infuriated Deirdre. “You’re damn right, Brendan! I’ll die if I’m not with him! There, I said it!


    But what’s your excuse? You promised me, but did you do what you said you would?!”


    “McKinnon !” Brendan growled and tightened his hold around her arms. His blood was boiling. “You just


    keep


    testing my patience, don’t you? Do you know how easy it would be for me to make the Fullers and that


    son of a b* tch vanish? One order from me is all it would take. One order!”


    Deirdre’s tantrum died off when she heard his reply. Of course. The Devil wielded unchecked power in


    this godforsaken city. She had seen it in action before… So how could she fight him and risk even more


    of his wrath?


    She sank into necessary silence. Necessary because it was needed to save Sterling.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    Brendan knew he had to stop Deirdre from being with Sterling any longer. If this went on, Brendan


    would never be able to possess even an inch of her heart. Grabbing her wrist, he ordered her, “Go


    home.”


    Home? Did she even have a home?


    She did not wriggle free from his grip, and her feet remained locked in ce. “I’m going to see


    Sterling.”


    She was the reason behind everything that had happened, so she had to see that it ended. She would


    not leave until she had closure!


    “No!” Her stubborn attitude frustrated him. He was not going to let these two see each other again!


    “You’reing home with me!”


    Deidre stubbornly refused to cave, so Brendan began to forcefully trawl her away. She struggled,


    iling her arms. Finally, she broke down and whimpered. “Please just let me see him, Brendan . Just


    this once! I’ll let you take me anywhere afterward, I swear…”


    She was so pathetic. Even her voice had turned raspy. The only reason she was not in tears yet was


    because she was trying not to cry.


    The destion in her features immediately caused Brendan to frown.


    “F*ck! Fine! I’ll let you see that bastard if it means you will finally give up! See for yourself if that


    pathetic guy could really protect you!” he snarled as he pulled her into his arms. He shot a sudden


    re at the maid. “Show us the way.”


    The maid immediately did as told.


    As soon as he heard about Brendan’s arrival, Mr. Richard Fuller—who was at least a decade his


    senior-strode forward his esteemed guest, Everything in his tone aimed to please. “Oh my God, to what


    do we owe the honor of receiving a guest like you! I was just about to bring my failure of a son to see


    you! He needs to apologize to you. This is his fault, entirely!”


    “That won’t be necessary.” The difference between Richard’s cordiality and Brendan’s coldness would


    give anyone whish. “Youngsters like us get into heated confrontations all the time. It was just a silly


    little spat. Now that I have had a good night’s rest, I don’t care anymore.”


    He did not care anymore? He had made the Fullers lose millions!


    The smile on Richard’s lips froze, but he swallowed any indignance he might have felt. “R-Right. It was


    pretty silly, huh? I hope you can forgive my idiotic son, Mr. Brighthall!”


    Brendan hummed off-handedly. “I’m here to see Sterling. I want to talk to him, but I don’t know if he’s


    up


    to it.”


    “O-Oh!” Richard paused. Deirdre could hear someone shuffling close to the older man and whisper


    something about him having “the living daylights knocked out of him”. Then, she heard Richard say


    hesitantly, “Mr. Brighthall, your personal visit here means a lot to us, and we really, really want to honor


    your request. But Sterling, well, he’s—”


    “He’s what?!” Deirdre suddenly blurted out loudly.” What have you people done to him?!”


    It was the first time Richard noticed the young woman, and her face sent a pang to his heart. Stunned,


    he asked,“ Sorry, but who’s this?”


    Brendan furrowed his brows. Pulling her into his arms, he dered, “My woman.”
