Resent Reject, Regret By Aqua Summers Chapter 124


    Chapter 124 It’s Only a Matter of Time Before I Toy With You to Death


    She took two sips of water before she heard the sound of leisurely footsteps behind her. Charlene said


    with feigned concern and a smile, “Are you alright, Ms.


    McKinnon?”


    Deirdre ignored her. When she was done drinking, she followed the wall and walked outside. Charlene


    raised her voice behind Deirdre as she said, “You’re going to have to talk to me, Ms. McKinnon. Do you


    think that you can just ignore me when Brendan is not around? If I take offense, I’m going to vent my


    grievance to Brendan.”


    Deirdre clenched her fists tightly when she heard the threatening remark. However, there was nothing


    she could do because, as would me her without any hesitation if Charlene were to vent her


    grievance to him.


    She took a deep breath and stopped right before the stairs. She then turned around and asked, “What


    do you want, Charlene?”


    “Not much,” Charlene said leisurely. “I would like to ask you about yesterday’s meal, Ms. McKinnon.


    Did you like it?”


    Deirdre experienced acid reflux instantly at the thought of the nauseating meal they’d had yesterday.


    She suppressed her anger and said, “Thank you for going to the trouble to cook, but at the same time,


    you prepared a meal just for me.”


    “It’s fine, you deserved it.” Charlene smiled and walked closer to Deirdre with a cruel glint in her eyes.


    “It’s your fault for being unappreciative. How dare youin about me to Brendan? That was very


    naive of you, Deirdre. Do you really think you can take my ce just because Brendan keeps you


    close? You’re naive! I only need to make a small amount of effort and it’ll be only a matter of time


    before I toy with you to death!”


    Deirdre’s face turned pale from fear and flushed with anger when she suddenly remembered the way


    Brendan had stepped on her hands and the humiliating situation that had urred when he had taken


    her to Night City. The expression on her face remained unchanged, but her eyes were lowered. “Is that


    so? I look forward to it, Ms. McKinney.”


    She turned around and headed upstairs. Charlene furrowed her eyebrows.


    ‘Deirdre is actually so good at putting up with me. She didn’t lose her temper yesterday, and she held


    back her anger when she was provoked earlier. If this continues, how am I going to get rid of Deirdre?’


    Just as she had no clue what to do, she saw the little puppy run out of the bedroom


    2/2


    after Deirdre went upstairs. It moved close to Deirdre’s legs and rubbed itself all over her legs.


    “Bliss.” Deirdre smiled and scooped it into her arms so the puppy could lick her face. Charlene


    narrowed her eyes, an intense scheming look glistening in her eyes.


    The next afternoon, Brendan rushed back to the vi from thepany, which was an unprecedented


    urrence. Deirdre knew that he did so because Charlene was there. Otherwise, he would not even


    havee home for three days.


    Deirdre did not wish to have that disgusting meal again, so she turned around to return to her room.


    Brendan removed his jacket and asked, “Where are you going?”


    She shut her eyes and opened them once again. “I’m making space for you and Ms. McKinney so you


    can spend time together.”


    was an excuse, yet it sounded blunt to Brendan.


    ‘So Charlene and I can spend time together? Is she so eager for the rtionship between me and


    Charlene to grow so I can get rid of her and allow her to go to Sterling?’

    “You think too highly of yourself.” Brendan sniggered. “Your presence doesn’t affect my rtionship


    with Charlene. Come down and eat.”


    Deirdre had her hand on the door handle and was standing in the same spot without moving. From


    downstairs, she heard the man say, “Don’t even think about eating again today if you don’te to eat


    lunch now. The same goes for your dog.”


    Deirdre could onlye downstairs. However, she was caught by surprise when she realized that her


    meal had not been tampered with. It was just that nothing had been prepared to her liking.


    She was scared that Brendan would pick a fight, so she braced herself to finish the meal, hearing


    Brendan say, “I’m going to see a musical with Charlene tonight. Behave yourself at home and don’t try


    anything crazy.”


    Deirdre nodded. Brendan could not help furrowing his eyebrows when she failed to respond. “Have you


    lost your voice?”
