    Chapter 582 The Kings’ Family Affair


    Deirdre came to her senses and shouted, "Mr. King! Stop! You’re going to kill him!”


    She had to stop Den. They were in a crucial moment right now, so Den must not get into trouble.


    It was just that she did not expect Den to lose his cool. After all, he had been a very calm person.


    At that moment, Joan and Gillian came over. They had been under the impression that the middle-aged


    man had already seeded, but they were stunned when they entered the washroom. The middle-


    aged man’s face was filled with bruises, Deirdre was being protected behind Den, and the dress on


    her suggested that nothing had happened between her and the middle-aged man.


    A dark glint flitted across Joan''s face while Ci llian’s face sank. "What have you done, Den?”


    As if he had found the straw that could save his life, the man scrambled up from the floor and said with


    his nose bleeding. "Mr. King! You need to help me this time! Den has gone mad! He was nning to


    kill me just now!"


    Cillian looked at Den fixedly and said, "Den, don''t you think you owe me an exnation? Do you


    not know that Mr. Lane is our partner in this tender? How could you beat him up like this? What the hell


    were you thinking?"


    Deirdre hastily stepped forward and defended Den. "No, Mr. King. Den was just trying to help me.


    This man over here wanted to vite me just now..."


    “Really?” Cillian replied impassively. He could recognize Deirdre. He knew the story between her and


    Brendan, so he looked at Deirdre and said coldly, "Miss McKinnon, we shouldn''t mix all things together.


    This is our family affairs. I hope you won''t poke your nose into it.”


    Deirdre’s face turned pale.


    ‘Family affairs? He calls this their family affairs?’


    Apparently, Cillian did not care if Mr. Lane vited her. He was just targeting Den alone.


    She took a deep breath and said, "Mr. King, I know you have your family affairs to take care of, but


    shouldn''t you be dealing with my matters first? We''re now at a party held by the Kings. If the news of


    me nearly getting vited by one of your guests gets out, I think it''ll also affect your family’s reputation,


    right?

    "Also, given Brendan''s personality, if he learns that his plus-one is getting bullied and the Kings refuse


    to do anything about it, he''ll think that you guys don’t care about him at all. He’ll be disappointed and


    won’t consider any cooperation with the Kings!" said Deirdre, her voice cold and her pretty face filled


    with resolution.


    Den nced at Deirdre. He had underestimated her. He had been under the impression she was


    just an eye candy through and through. He did not expect her to be so aggressive at all.


    "You’ve misunderstood me, Ms. McKinnon," said Cillian, smiling at Deirdre. “You’re being bullied, and


    it’s a big deal. There’s no way I’m going to ignore it."


    After that, he turned around and threw a gaze at Ronan. "Mr. Lane, can you exin what happened


    just now?”


    Ronan had alreadye around to his senses after getting beaten up by Den, and after Deirdre


    mentioned Brendan, it was only then he realized that she had been telling the truth earlier.


    She really was Brendan''s woman.


    A chill rushed down his spine when he thought of what Brendan could do. He was going to put aside


    the fact that Den had just beat him up and said, "This is just a misunderstanding, miss. I drank too


    much wine and thought I was in my own house. That''s why I behaved so rudely. I''m truly sorry about


    that. Can you forgive me?”


    Before Deirdre could say anything, Cillian chimed in. "Miss McKinnon, since Mr. Lane has already


    apologized to you, let’s leave this matter at that, okay?"
