Resent Reject, Regret By Aqua Summers Chapter 189


    Chapter 189 She’s Lying


    “How did that happen…” Charlene bit her lower lip, feeling scared out of her wits. She asked in a flurry,”


    What happened afterward? Is Ms. McKinnon alright? She’s too foolish. Why would shemit suicide


    because of this?”


    “She was saved in the end.”


    “Great then.” Charlene felt relieved. She remembered something that made her face turn paler and she


    looked at Brendan incredulously. “Brendan, you’re here to tell me about Ms. McKinnon’s suicide


    attempt… What are you implying? You also asked about my whereabouts yesterday. Could you be


    suspecting me of exposing the secret?”


    Brendan did not answer, but Charlene’s eyes reddened with tears instantly. “Did Ms. McKinnon tell you


    that I told her the secret?”


    “No.” Brendan frowned deeply, and his voice sounded agitated. “I was only asking casually.”


    Tears were falling from Charlene’s eyes. “You don’t have to put in a good word for Ms. McKinnon. Why


    would you associate the incident with me if she hadn’t mentioned it? Besides, Brendan, you’re breaking


    my heart. Why would you think that I’m the culprit behind this incident? Is it because of that dog?


    “Yes! I admit that the dog incident was my fault! It was the servant whomitted the act, but it was


    partly incited by me. But I truly had no idea that the dog would die such a tragic death! Even if I really


    did ask my servant to do that, was I not supposed to do it? Deirdre framed me and almost caused my


    death. She ruined my leg, and now she’s trying to take you away from me too! I should be selfless in


    love and offer you to her magnanimously, right?”


    Charlene was bawling profusely and hysterically.


    Brendan furrowed his eyebrows. “Charlene…”


    “Rosaly, bring me the receipts from my shopping trip yesterday!” Charlene ordered the servant while


    she wiped her tears. She then handed the receipts to Brendan when the servant brought them. “These


    are the receipts from my shopping trip yesterday morning till afternoon, with a timestamp printed on


    them. You can look into the receipts and ask around for information. The return journey from the


    shopping location. to your vi took two hours, so these will tell you whether I was at the vi or not


    yesterday, Mr. Brighthall!”


    Brendan held the receipts in his hand and felt extremely agitated deep inside. Charlene could not be


    bothered to be in the same room with him, so she took it upon herself to head upstairs while she said, ”


    See the guest to the door, Rosaly!”


    By the time the servant led Brendan to the door and returned to the living room, Charlene had already


    gotten downstairs. Noticing the situation, the servant approached Charlene andplimented her by


    saying, “You’re impressive, miss! You had already prepared an alibi for yesterday and you also


    exined the dog’s death well enough that Mr. Brighthall is no longer bearing a grudge against you.


    Instead, he’s feeling guilty.”

    Charlene could not derive pleasure from the incident. Her fists were so tightly clenched that her nails


    dug into her flesh, and her beautiful eyes were surging with hatred. “But he was here.”


    The fact that he hade signified hisck of trust in her and how much he favored Deirdre!


    She had exhausted every means and spent a year to captivate Brendan, yet she had not expected that


    everything would change as soon as that woman came back into his life. She’d had to utilize ways that


    had hurt her in the process just to achieve equilibrium with great effort.


    How would she be able to make peace with that?


    “That b*tch is just like a ghost that keepsing back!” Charlene picked up a vase and threw it on the


    floor, shattering it. Then, she swept away all the items on the coffee table. “She didn’t even manage to


    die after jumping off a building. You can’t me me for not being courteous anymore!


    “Call him up. It’s time for him to make a move!”


    Brendan looked into the receipts and discovered that Charlene’s alibi checked out. There were images


    of Charlene’s face on the surveince footage at the shopping mall.


    Hence, Deirdre was lying.


    ‘She still won’t give up. She is constantly trying to defame Charlene.’


    Brendan was agitated and furious. ‘If only she had stayed out of trouble just for a bit, she wouldn’t have


    ended up in her current situation.’
