Charlene braced herself and spoke up under Brendan’s watchful eyes. “It’s apparent that your mother
is still abroad, so how can you meet her so soon, huh?”

“Is that so…” Deirdre was relieved abruptly and only discovered that her fingers were trembling after
her mind rxed.
She had felt terror taking over her, and she was d that her spection was not
true.
“I don’t care. I just want to see her! Don’t worry, I’m not going to hold on to the status. of Mrs. Brighthall
forever.” Deirdre sneered at herself upon finishing her sentence. She could no longer be bothered to
hold the position that had resulted in such loss. and destruction.
“All I want is to see my mother. I will head to the court for the divorce proceedings by myself without
any reminders from you after meeting her.”
Brendan’s dark eyes were filled with agitation. “We shall discuss thatter. I’ll see you to the door,
Charlene.”
He walked out of the room swiftly with Charlene following him, her chest tight with
anxiety.
She could tell that Brendan was extremely displeased.
“Bren…”
“Exin yourself.” Brendan stopped walking and turned around with half his face in
the shadows. He exuded intense overbearingness.
Charlene’s eyes reddened with tears instantly. “Do you believe what Ms. McKinnon said, Brendan?
Why would I say that she would end up just like her mother? It’s obvious that she was ndering me!”
Brendan did not respond to her immediately but he procured a cigarette from his pocket. He asked
slowly when the smoke of his cigarette coiled around her, “How did the topic of conversation shift to
Ophelia then?”
“That’s… That’s because…” Charlene’s mind was working at full speed, trying toe up with
something. She exined with teary eyes, “That’s because Ms. McKinnon won’t have any other close
family members after getting a divorce. I was trying to express my sympathy for her, so I mentioned
Ophelia. Who would have thought that she would have such a huge reaction!”
At this point, Charlene could not help muttering softly, “It has already been such a long time since
Ophelia passed away. I can’t believe that Ms. McKinnon is still unaware of that. I think that she made
up this excuse on purpose because she didn’t want to get a divorce…”
Brendan would rather that was not true yet he knew Deirdre well enough to know that Deirdre would
not have reacted in that manner if she had been aware of Ophelia’s passing.
She would have refused to talk about the matter and hidden it in her heart by force.
He had been under the assumption that Deirdre had already found out everything and the memory of
that had already faded over the past year. However, it turned out that Sterling had kept that information
from her. If Deirdre found out now that Ophelia had died a year ago…
For some unknown reason, Brendan was suddenly afraid that something bad would happen.
He did not wish to see Deirdre suffering a mental breakdown.
“Just don’t mention Ophelia to Deirdre from now on.” Brendan took a deep breath and suppressed his
displeasure. “It’s gettingte. You should head back.”
“Brendan… About the divorce…”
“Deirdre’s attitude regarding this matter is very obvious. She will never agree to the divorce without
seeing Ophelia, and you know that very well. We’ll need to wait.”
“But…” Charlene was recalcitrant, as she had been waiting for way too long. “Ophelia is already dead,
so how are you going to let her meet her? Am I supposed to hold no status for the rest of my life if she
won’t agree to a divorce?”
“No, I will not allow myself to be bound to Deirdre for eternity,” Brendan answered concisely, his
eyebrows furrowed. “However, I told you that we’ll need time.”
“Alright then…” Sensing that Brendan was in a bad mood, Charlene knew that she could not oppose
him anymore, so she said flirtatiously, “I want to be your wife so badly Since you told me that you need
time, I will wait for you. Brendan, I trust you to handle everything properly.”
