Resent Reject, Regret By Aqua Summers Chapter 51


    Chapter 51 She Was Jailed on Your Behalf


    Regardless of how painful the kick was, Steven remained silent and kneeled on the ground. Brendan


    showed him the medical report on his phone with an intimidating, apathetic expression. “Look at this.


    Exin yourself.”

    This was expected, so Steven had long prepared an exnation. He stooped low as he said, “I’m sorry,


    sir. I wanted to tell you at the time, but I know you very well. If you had found out that Ms. McKinnon


    lost her sight in jail, you would have definitely done whatever you could to take her out of jail. However,


    because we were under the watchful eye of the public, your actions would have certainly led to an


    unintended negative impact on the Brighthall Group. Therefore, I couldn’t say it. I took the liberty not to


    tell you immediately. I am sorry!”


    “You took a liberty indeed.” Brendanughed instead when he got to the point of extreme anger. He


    looked down at Steven with his ice-cold gaze. “It seems that I’ve been too kind to you. So much so that


    you can’t tell who’s the boss anymore. From this day onward, you are fired. Get out of here! Don’t you


    evere back without my permission!”


    ‘What?’ Charlene covered her mouth, feeling incredulous. She couldn’t believe that Brendan would fire


    Steven just for the sake of Deirdre.


    “Brendan, think about it!” Charlene moved toward Brendan in her wheelchair. “Steven has been


    working for you for so many years. Don’t you understand that he meant well? It wouldn’t have been


    helpful to tell you since Ms. McKinnon had already lost her sight at the time. Besides, he did it for you


    and for the sake of the Brighthall Group!”


    “For me and the Brighthall Group?” Brendan smirked. ” Deirdre’s eyes clearly still had a chance to be


    healed at the time! She could have regained her sight! It’s because you guys hid it from me that she is


    totally blind! Since you two have been telling me that Steven did it for my sake, you’re implying that I’m


    the one who blinded her with my own hands, aren’t you!”


    Lips trembling, Charlene blurted, “It’s just a pair of eyes. Are they more important than the entire


    Brighthall Group? Do you wish to ce the entire Brighthall Group in a crisis just for Deirdre


    McKinnon?”


    Charlene instantly met his terrifying gaze. His ck, ice cold, unfathomable eyes silenced her in an


    instant.


    “Charlene McKinney,” Brendan said. It was the first time he had addressed Charlene in such an


    indifferent manner. “She was jailed on your behalf.”


    Tears welled up in Charlene’s eyes, and she choked from fright. “I-I know… When I learned about Ms.


    McKinnon. losing her sight in jail, I felt sorry for her too. But because


    “}


    it had already happened, it couldn’t be undone…’


    Charlene acted meticulously, but Brendan’s eyes remained ice-cold. It was amid this suffocating


    atmosphere that the door of the emergency room was flung open.


    Looking drained, the doctor walked out of the room and said regretfully, “You guys should be the


    patient’s family, right? I am sorry, but we have done our best. The patient’s condition is truly critical, and


    she doesn’t have any desire to live whatsoever. Hence, this is the best we could do… We’ll give you


    some time to tell her goodbye.”


    ‘Goodbye?’ Brendan was startled, and a chill rushed up from his feet, moving through his organs and


    his head. He shivered uncontrobly and lunged to grab the doctor’s shoulder. “What are you saying? I


    want you to save her, not say that you have done your best! She will live, I’m sure of it!”


    “Sir, calm down!” Steven stepped forward to stop Brendan.


    Brendan had been trembling so far. Calm down? How could he calm down? Deirdre was dying… The


    same Deirdre who was once infatuated with him and full of admiration for him was going to die!


    Brendan admitted that he didn’t like Deirdre. He didn’t like her character or her behavior. Hence, he


    wouldn’t want to be with her forever.


    However, he had thought it through thoroughly.


    Deirdre had lost her mother and everything else because she had been jailed on Charlene’s behalf.


    Therefore, Brendan had thought he would take care of her in the future.
