Chapter 896 Why Is Charlene Helping Us?
Brendan smiled and approached him. “Uncle Zimmer.”
Mr. Zimmer was stunned for a moment. He walked over and said, “Well done.” “I was hoping that you
wouldn’t mind it, Uncle Zimmer. I had to hide from everyone before the situation came to an end.” “Why
would I mind?” Mr. Zimmer appeared to be in a daze for a moment. Soon afterward, he smiled and
patted Brendan’s shoulder. “You saw through Desmond and the others before me. I’m delighted you
have a keen sense of people and can implement solid measures. It seems it is totally fine to hand over
thepany to you so I can set my mind at ease and retire…”
As he was speaking, he took a nce at Deirdre. “I’m sorry, Miss McKinnon.”
Deirdre was surprised that a senior like him would lower himself to apologize to her. She lowered her
eyes and said, “You don’t need to apologize, Mr. Zimmer. I remembered you helping me previously
too.” “No, that is not the same thing. At the time, I thought that you were… I treated you in a very poor
manner indeed, and I’ve never regarded you as a decent, proper girl. I was too shallow-minded.” Mr.
Zimmer was ashamed of himself. “However, I can set my mind at ease with the current situation. Your
mother’s situation is justified as well… If there’s nothing else, I shall make a move first.”
Mr. Zimmer left in a rush.
Deirdre and Brendan walked outside together. She went from feeling weighed down initially to
surprisingly rxed at this very moment.
She was having a hard time epting that the situation would end in this manner.
After taking a seat in the passenger seat, she asked, “Charlene… why is she helping us? It doesn’t
seem like her…”
Brendan helped to fasten her seatbelt, and his lips curled up beyond his notice. “I knew you couldn’t
stand it anymore, and you’d ask me.”
In the ward, Charlene was caught by surprise when someone pped her. The room was pitch ck,
and her eyes were reddened. She could not care about her leg injury when she repeatedly bowed to
apologize. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
The person could not be bothered by her piteous demeanor, kicking her until she toppled to the floor.

“You piece of sh*t!”
Charlene bit her lower lip tightly while the man pulled her up by her hair.” This is supposed to be a
grand opportunity to take control of the Brighthall Group and get rid of Brendan. Yet, you just can’t do
anything right. You actuallymissioned those people to attack Deirdre and create the opportunity for
Brendan!” “It wasn’t intentional! I didn’t do that on purpose!” Charlene was crying from fear. “I thought
that Brendan would be so distracted by the hectic situation that he wouldn’t be paying attention to
Deirdre!
“I hate her too much, which is why I figured I’d use that method to seek revenge on her. But, I did not
expect those people to be so bad at keeping a tight lid and confessing that I’m the culprit under torture!”
Tears streamed down Charlene’s face. “If I didn’t do as Brendan’s order, he would expose the voice
clip… I’m scared-”
The man gave her a tight p with a ghastly expression.
He bent his fingers and pulled out long scratch marks on Charlene’s face, her body shivering from the
pain.
“Those are all dumb excuses!” The man calmed down with great effort and narrowed his eyes. “Now
the problem is that Desmond is involved as well. From today onward, I will call the shots, and if you
dare to defy me, I will decapitate you even before Brendan can do it himself!” “Don’t ever forget who
gave you a new life such that you can be with
Brendan safely. If I can give you a new life, I can give you death too!”
Charlene begged for mercy with all her might. “I… I understand! I won’t do it again!”
Charlene clutched the cor of her top tightly with a sharp glint glistening in her eyes when she heard
the sound of a door mming echo in the room.
