Chapter 525 The Child Was Forced to Die
After a long beat, Kyran finally found his voice. “And Steven?”
“Fled.” Den took another sharp inhale of smoke.
“He is a smart man who knows you all too well. He foresaw things going south way
ahead and withdrew his savings before disappearing. It’s impossible to find him.”
Kyran’s eyes were nailed to the document. A maelstrom was kicking up in his chest, pressing itself agai
nst the inside of his chest and stinging him so much that his face turned white.
It took him a while to recover. Exhaling a few breaths, he said, “He had no motive. He wouldn’t even ha
ve gained anything from it.”
Den shed him a smile. “That much is obvious. What could he possibly gain from doing all of this to
Deirdre? Nothing. As such, someone else must have ordered him to. Now, I don’t have any solid proof
yet, but I’m sure who that mastermind could be. Question is… Do you want to hear it?’
Kyran did not even blink. “Charlene.”
“Huh? Right on the first strike. Only two people could have gained from this whole thing: you and Charl
ene McKinney. Deirdre was pregnant with your
kid after two years of marriage, so her emotional motive was transparent.”
Kyran sank into silence, his eyes misty. He could not stop his mind from returning to that day–
the fire, the woman and her blurry features, and the near–
suicidal, altruistic determination to save him from the
inferno.
Never had he expected that same angel to be a demon capable of the most wretched things behi

Den could see the mental anguish ying out in Kyran’s mind. Snuffing out his cigarette, he exhaled

“Charlene is no longer the same
woman who saved you from the fire. She has changed. I told you back when the woman and I first met
that this is a woman who’s motivated by avarice. You were so in love with her that you wouldn’t listen w
hen I told you, and that’s okay. I get it. But what other excuses can youe up with now?”
“I’m not even going to excuse her.” Kyran thought of the trials Deirdre had gone through and felt a chill
sweeping across his heart. “I was just thinking, who’s the bigger sinner? Me or Charlene?”
After Deirdre was finally released from the prison and was given a chance to live, Brendan swooped ba
ck in like the Devil, chained her to his
side, and proceeded to rain hellfire on her, humiliate her, abuse her, and endlessly torment her.

Den sidestepped the question with a much more practical one of his own, “What now?”
“Deirdre has stated that the culprit behind her abduction is Charlene.” Kyran shut the document. “It’s hi
gh time she reaps what she sowed.”
He handed the document back to Den. “Come inside with me. Deirdre’s
busy in the kitchen. It’s not safe to leave her alone.”
He took two steps forward until Den, climbing down his car, stopped him. “Brendan.”

Den’s well–practiced smile had returned.
“False rm! I wasn’t drinking to heal my broken heart. My clients basically forced me.”
“Well, that’s a relief,” she replied, rxed.
“I made you soup. Come take it. Hopefully, it will help lessen your hangover on the next day.”
“Gee, thanks.”
Deirdre smiled and told him not the worry. Then, turning toward a rather sullen Kyran, who had not spok
