Chapter 891 Police Swoop Mr. Zimmer watched them for a long time. He wanted to say something but refrained from speaking forcefully.
âIf you think your choice is right, you may go on, but it will be difficult for you to remove Desmond from his position when he holds it steadily. Iâm with you.â
Upon saying that, he turned around and left.
Deirdre said, âMr. Zimmer has a good attitude but is exasperated by you.â âI know.â
Brendan was calm and composed.
Deirdre asked, âDo you regret helping me in the hospital? If you were to send someone to help, you would still be safe and sound and would be the Brighthall Groupâs ruler now.â
Brendanâs gaze landed on Deirdreâs face with a meaningful look on his face. âMy only regret is not helping you when I passed by the room the first time.â
He spoke in a sincere tone, and his gaze was deep.
Deirdre was at a loss for words, so she could only answer, âYou will regret it.â Then, she lowered her head to take a sip of her juice.
The party was peaceful. In fact, Deirdre was feeling tired when it was nearing the end.
Brendan told her, âJust bear with it for a little more. Thereâs going to be a grand show later, and youâll be a part of it.â âWhat do you mean?â
Deirdre blurted, and before she could respond, the hall door was opened abruptly.
The security guard hastily said, âThe police are here!â
The crowd was clamorous upon hearing that.
âWhat?â âThe police are here? Weâre having a party here and havenât done anything wrong. What are they doing here?â âAre you dumb or something? Theyâre here to capture the criminal, of course!â âMiss McKinnon?â
In an instant, everyoneâs gazes were fixed on Deirdre and Brendan. Some were surprised, some were angry, and some were disgusted.
âThis is a harboring crime! If word of a criminal found in the Brighthall Groupâs party spreads, whoâs going to trust our company anymore from now on?â âMr. Brighthall has gone too far. He is dismissed from the board of directors due to his own fault, yet he is actually engaging in such a disgraceful act to seek revenge on the company!â
Desmond walked over in strides. âBrendan Brighthall! Look what youâve done! Youâre doing this on purpose, right? You know that the party is held because Iâll be taking over the company, so you brought Miss McKinnon to the party and got the police to storm the Brighthall Group!â
The crowd was furious. Someone said from the side, âMr. Brighthall, is it worth doing this for a woman? Youâve actually implicated the companyâs future, and that is truly abominable!â
Brendan tasted the liquor in a calm and composed manner. âWhatâs with the nerves, everyone? I didnât do anything to the party. If they really are here to capture someone, it doesnât seem to be related to me, right?â âNot related to you?â Desmond gnashed his teeth in rage and was inconsolable. âHow dare you say that! Arenât the police here for your female companion? Everyone is well aware of her identity as a criminal!â
Brendan twirled the glass, and his gaze was ghastly and cold. âMr. Griffin, my advice to you is to speak with evidence. Who is the criminal? Not even the law can convict Deirdre for her crime, yet you sound like youâre superior to the law.â
Desmond regarded Brendan as feigning his calmness. He grunted and said, âSpeak with evidence? The police have surrounded the area outside the company, which is evidence! Theyâre here for Miss McKinnon today so they can capture her, and that is the evidence!
âMr. Brighthall, I was planning on holding the CEO position temporarily out of respect for you earlier, but youâve just assured me not to hand over the Brighthall Group to you ever after seeing your trick!
âYou have no consideration for the companyâs future when you bring Miss McKinnon to make trouble. In fact, youâre trying to implicate the company as well. You donât deserve to be the future ruler of the Brighthall Group!â
