Chapter 549 Evidence From Brendan

“I have no idea either,” Brendan said in a daze. “I’ll hide it for as long as I can.”

He just hoped that day would not come so soon. This way, he would have more time to compensate her.

Deirdre had been staying in the house for the past few days. She didn’t even open the door as she was too afraid to do so.

Based on her understanding of Brendan, she was confident that he would come for her the next day. However, three days had passed, and nothing had happened. It was so quiet, as if Brendan had never appeared in this city before at all.

Deirdre even started to wonder whether it was a dream that she had run into Brendan that day at the police station. However, the scorching sensation when the man’s lips fell on hers and his tenacity kept reminding her that everything was real.

Brendan had been there, and they had run into each other.

It was just that Brendan might still be bothered by Charlene’s case, so he did not have the luxury of caring about Deirdre.

On the fourth day, Deirdre received a call from the police, notifying her that the prosecutor had filed charges against Charlene for abduction and that the first trial would be held on the first day of the next month.

“If nothing goes wrong, there’ll be a result this time.”

“That’s great!” replied Deirdre, her voice thick with delight. Then, she asked, “What about Brendan…”

“What?”

“Brendan didn’t do anything about it?” Deirdre was confused.

‘If Brendan wasn’t there to save Charlene, then why was he at the police station?”

Deirdre’s question threw the police officer for a loop. “Mr. Brighthall? What does Mr. Brighthall need to do?”

“Charli is his fiancee, right? Didn’t he help Charlene prove her innocence or something? “Yes, Charli is indeed Mr. Brighthall’s fiancee,” the police officer said hesitantly. “But you’re his wife too. I’m sure Mr. Brighthall can differentiate between who’s right and who’s wrong. He probably had a fiancee because he thought you were dead after you fell into the sea and went missing. Since you’re back, he’ll have to take care of his wife first. He came to the police station several days ago to provide the evidence regarding your abduction to us.”

‘What!? Brendan is the one who provided the evidence to the police?’

Deirdre’s eyes widened in shock as her heart hammered in her chest.

She did not think something like this would happen at all. After all, she knew very well how much Brendan loved Charlene. She was confident that he was willing to sacrifice himself for Charlene, so how would he help her by sending Charlene to prison?

“Are you sure about it?” asked Deirdre, her eyebrows furrowed into a concerned frown.

“Of course. There’s no way I’d make a mistake like that.” The police officer chuckled.

Deirdre still couldn’t pull herself out of the shock after the police officer had hung up the call.

After that, she heard someone come into the house.

Declan had a lot of things in his hands. When he saw Deirdre, he asked, “Have you eaten anything, Miss McKinnon?”

Deirdre shook her head.

Declan smiled and said, “Then I’m right on time. I just bought some takeout from the restaurant today. The food is still warm, so you don’t have to cook. Anyway, I hope you’ll find them delicious.”

Declan placed all the food on the table. After that, he went into the kitchen to get some utensils for Deirdre. When he came out, he saw that Deirdre was still standing frozen stiff on her spot.

“Miss McKinnon?” asked Declan.

“I’m sorry.” Deirdre snapped herself out of her trance and walked toward the dining table. Declan followed after her and asked, “Is something bothering you, Miss McKinnon?”

“Well, you really are quite an observant, Mr. King. Nothing can escape your eyes,” said Deirdre, smiling dryly.

Declan teased her. “It’s not that I’m observant, but you’re like an open book now, Miss McKinnon.”
