    Mrs. Engel’s gaze dimmed when she remembered something and said, “Is it because of Ophe-”

    “Mrs. Engel.” Deirdre stopped Mrs. Engel in time by saying, “It’s already in the past, so we don’t have to


    bring it up again. Men are always moving forward.”


    ‘Yes, you’re right!” Mrs. Engel hastily nodded. She almost triggered Deirdre’s sadness but could not


    refrain from advising Deirdre in view of her past experience.


    “Mrs. Brighthall, perhaps I may not be right, but I know that Mr. Brighthall loves you now. He cares


    about you, and that is why he traveled far to look for me before finding me in a mountain valley. I broke


    a leg at the time, and he spent a lot of money to get me treatment. He told me that he didn’t want me to


    pay him back. Instead, he would like me to take care of you so that you’re happy.”


    ‘So that I’m happy?’


    Deirdre’s gaze glistened with emotions. In the next moment, her gaze cooled down.


    Did Brendan not feel that he was going against his conscience when he lied to Mrs. Engel?


    If he really wanted her to be happy, he would not have destroyed her life once and then impregnated


    her with his baby.


    Deirdre did notment further. She changed the topic of conversation by saying,


    “What are we having today?”


    In the Brighthall Group, Brendan had just returned to thepany when he was bombarded with


    documents. Now that he was back, all the major events in thepany were med on him.


    After the board of directors meeting ended, Mr. Jensen seated on the right called out to him, his


    expression displeased.


    “Brendan, why am I hearing rumors out there that you were away from thepany not to recuperate


    from your condition but for a woman?”


    All the members of the board of directors looked to Brendan upon hearing his remark.


    Even though they feared Brendan, they were displeased with Brendan, who had disappeared for close


    to half a year.


    After all, the Brighthall Group was prospering when Brendan was managing thepany, yet the


    company was close to a decline now. It would be extremely irresponsible of him to do that for a woman.


    Brendan nced at the crowd casually, and his dark eyes were tainted with coldness.


    “Whether I was away to recuperate or for a woman, it’s none of your business when you also frequently


    travel abroad for leisure, Mr. Jensen.


    ‘Your role is to spend the money made from yourpany shares and not be bothered by the others.


    You should care about your own family and not let those children of yours tarnish thepany’s


    reputation, and that will be enough.”


    Mr. Jensen’s son and daughter were previously involved in a huge scandal, and Mr.


    Jensen was implicated as their father. The Brighthall Group had be the top search news online on


    multiple asions. Brendan’s remark reminded this event to many people.


    Someone could not hold back and said, “I think it would be best for you to send your children abroad


    because you ask about thepany’s matters, right? There’s no telling how much damage the


    ‘That’s right. Since you’ve already decided to retire and not meddle with thepany, you should set


    your mind at ease to rest and let the people from thepany handle thepany affairs.”


    “We would have to consider if Mr. Jensen is still qualified to be in this room if something like that were


    to happen again.”


    ‘You… All of you!” Mr. Jensen’s expression alternated between anger and fear. He did not expect that


    he would be treated with sarcastic remarks by these people just because of Brendan’s brief criticism in


    view of his identity as one of thepany’s founding members.


    Brendan did not even take an extra nce at him, but he walked out of the boardroom. He stopped


    abruptly when he was in the corridor and gave an order to his assistant, Cormac Cooper. ‘You can


    send Mr. Jensen back to where he came from.”


    ‘Yes, sir.”


    Upon returning to the office, Brendan handled the documents until noon, when Sam barged into the


    room by surprise.


    Brendan raised his head and could not help furrowing his eyebrows.” What’s going on? Why are you in


    such a flurry?”


    Sam’s face was ghastly pale. “Sir, Steven is dead.”
