Chapter 922 Get the Coffee Tested
Hence, Deirdre was not surprised that Charlene would spike Brendan’s drink, but she was surprised by
Brendan’s determination.
Frankly, she did not trust Brendan very much. After all, Deirdre had be extremely passive
because of the things Brendan did in the past. Yet, Brendan would actually choose to forcefully brace
the medicine effect and lose consciousness so he would not hurt her.
Mrs. Engel’s gazended on Brendan’s wlessly handsome face. His eyebrows were still tightly
furrowed in his unconscious state. One could imagine how unpleasant the experience was for him
earlier.
“Mrs. Brighthall.” Mrs. Engel could not refrain from saying, “Mr. Brighthall loves you very much, really.”
Brendan woke up feeling sore all over his body. Half of his body was numb from being squeezed into a
small sofa in view of his tall and muscr physique.
He was preparing to get up when he felt the weight pinning down his waist. He lowered his head and
found Deirdre lying on him. She had a nket covering her body, and she was sound asleep.
It was such a wonderful scene that he could not bear to disturb her, but he figured that Deirdre would
not feelfortable in such a position. Thus, he scooped up the woman carefully and ced her on
the sofa where he was earlier. He looked at the woman’s calm, sleeping face, and his dark eyes were
filled with intense affection.
Still, Brendan’s gaze turned cold bit by bit when he remembered yesterday’s incident.
He left the room and found Charlene sitting absentmindedly on the sofa with a frown.
Brendan walked downstairs, and his heavy footsteps awakened Charlene.
Charlene suppressed her panic. She figured that Deirdre’s body would not be able to withstand the
process if Brendan were to sleep with Deirdre instead of her.
Nheless, she did not expect the night to pass so peacefully.
Apart from her action failing to bring any change, Brendan would never let her off after what she did.
At the thought of this, Charlene took it upon herself to cry first. “Brendan, what happened between you
and Miss McKinnon in the study roomst night? I felt that something was off and wanted to check up
on you, but Mrs. Engel wouldn’t let me go. She imed she didn’t want me to ruin your good time with
Deirdre…”
Brendan watched her put on an act coldly. “Don’t you know yet?”
Charlene bit her lower lip and sobbed. “Don’t I know what? Brendan, I really don’t understand what
you’re talking about…” “I was drugged.” “What?” Charlene appeared especially shocked. “For real?” “I
was ill in the study room for the whole night. It’s possible that I would be admitted to the hospital today
if not for Deirdre.”
Brendan looked at Charlene with a burning gaze while she braced herself to say, “How did that
happen? You had dinner with us yesterday. Could it be some sort of food poisoning?”
She suddenly said, “Could it be Mrs. Engel? She refused to let me check on you in the study room by
blocking my path. Perhaps it was her who drugged your meal so you could reconcile your rtionship
with Miss McKinnon.”
Brendan looked at her and said, “I share the same thinking too. Otherwise, why would I be drugged for
no reason? However, other than the dinner yesterday, I had only consumed one more thing, and it was
the coffee you made me. It’s fortunate that I still have half of the coffee left. I’m going to send it to get
tested in aboratory. If the coffee is fine, it must be Mrs. Engel. Don’t worry. I won’t let her off for sure
when the test results are out.”
She felt a shiver down her spine, and her gaze was shifting in panic. She watched as Brendan was
about to call Sam so he could send the coffee to get tested. Charlene hastily grabbed his arm and
smiled forcefully.

“Brendan, it’s unnecessary to get it tested since nothing bad happened. Miss McKinnon will surely be
sad if she learns that Mrs. Engel is at fault when the test results are out. She is pregnant and
emotional. It will not be good for her.”
