Chapter 151 Did Nothing to Deserve the Favor It was apparent that it was a critical situation judging by Brendanâs sternness. Sawyer did not have the courage to procrastinate, so he hastily asked, âWhat happened, Mr. Brighthall?â
âSomeone stirred up trouble and got several people injured. Sam was one of them, and his condition is quite critical.â
Brendan described Samâs condition as quite critical, so the critical level would surely be unusually bad in reality. Sawyer hastily opened the car door for Brendan. The latter was about to get into the car when Deirdre suddenly grabbed his arm.
âBrendan, who did you say is injured? Is Sam injured? How bad is his injury?â
There was no telling if her face was pale from the cold or scared out of her wits from overhearing the conversation.
Brendanâs face was filled with evil emotions. He clutched her hand and pulled it away by force. âThis is not an issue that you should concern yourself with. The pressing matter for you now is to figure out a way to make Charlene forgive you.â
Deirdreâs heart was racing. âI will, but Samâs safety is very important too. Just tell me his condition first so I can set my mind at ease.â
âYou care about him so much, huh?â Brendan sneered. âI think youâd be clapping and cheering in delight if I were in Samâs shoes instead, huh?â
Deirdre lowered her eyes but did not answer his question. Her action was regarded as silent acknowledgment in Brendanâs perception, and he felt his heart wrench in pain. He flung away Deirdreâs hand in disgust. âHeâs not going to die! However, his condition might be different if you canât complete.
the mission that is assigned to you.â
He got into the car coldly after making his threat.
Sawyer was stunned by Brendanâs mockery but still started the carâs engine.
Deirdre stood at the door by herself, her head filled with Brendanâs threatening remark.
âSam is Brendanâs subordinate and also his bodyguard, yet he seems like he would sacrifice Sam because of Charlene at this point.
âIs he going to spare no effort in sacrificing everyone who displeases Charlene?â
She inhaled a deep breath, turned around to face the door, and asked the servant, âIs Miss McKinney willing to see me now?â
The servant sized up Deirdre with her gaze. Sawyer had left, so it was unnecessary for her to hide the contempt in her eyes anymore. âSo, it turns out this is how Mr. Brighthall treats you, huh? I was under the assumption that youâre some exquisite beauty when I found out that Mr. Brighthall is keeping you in the villa. Youâre hideous, and I donât know how you find the nerve to show yourself.â
Her mockery of Deirdre came as blunt as it could.
Deirdre did not even blink once, but she asked, âWill Miss McKinney see me now?â
The servant said irnpatiently, âWait there, and Iâll ask.â
The servant did not return even after half an hour.
Deirdre stood by the door all alone and could not tell if the sky was dark. She could only feel the wind growing stronger and the temperature dropping lower until her nose turned numb from the cold.
Meanwhile, the servant came after a long time. She said while yawning, âYouâre still here? I was under the assumption that you had left, so I went to take a nap in the room.â
Deirdreâs fingers were stiff from the cold. She exhaled a warm breath and listened to the servantâs rude, intentionally provocative remark. She understood the servantâs attitude but had already lost her temper.
She said, âItâs fine.â
The servant opened the door. âYou may enter now if thatâs the case. Miss McKinney is growing eager from the wait as well.â
Upon saying that, the servant left.
Deirdreâs eyes were blind, and she could not tell where the living room was. She was not counting on the servant to help her but listened to the direction of the servantâs footsteps with great effort and followed closely after the servant.
When she stepped into the living room, someone intentionally stretched out a leg to trip Deirdre. She toppled to the ground heavily, but fortunately, the carpet softened the fall. In addition, her body was stiff and numb from the cold, so the fall was not particularly painful, only that she fell in a humiliating posture. Deirdre heard Charleneâs laughter coming from above. âI did nothing to deserve the favor, Miss McKinney. I canât accept you getting on your knees as soon as you come into the house.â
