Chapter 626 Why Should I Trust You?

He had not expected the woman before him to have the nerve to play mind games with him at a moment like this.

"I know exactly what you are thinking. You want to run away, right? I can’t believe that you would stoop so low as to

use this kind of excuse. What makes you think that I'll work with Brendan's woman?"

'The devil takes the hindmost. Maybe a second earlier, I was still Brendan's woman, but since he refused to come to

my rescue to save himself, why shouldn't I find another way to save myself?" Deirdre said candidly. She laid herself

bare and added, "Mr. King, all I care about is my own safety. To achieve my goal, I’m willing to do anything I can,

including betray Brendan."

Cillian squinted his eyes. There was a voice in his mind telling him to guard himself against the woman before him.

After all, not everyone could stay as calm as she had when she had been abducted.

That being said, he was curious about the things that Deirdre had said.

'Then how are you going to take revenge on Brendan?" Cillian pitched his voice low and warned her. "Don't tell me

that you want me to let you go so you can lead Brendan into some sort of trap. I'm not a fool, Deirdre."

Deirdre took a deep breath and said, "Of course that’s not what I'm going to do. Since I'm planning to get revenge

on Brendan, I'll think of another way. Anyway, do you know Charlene, Mr. King?"

The name rang a bell, and it took Cillian a short while to recall who she was. "Isn't she Brendan's ex-wife? She's

serving time because she ran over someone with her car. Why did you bring her up all of a sudden, Miss

McKinnon?"

Deirdre said, 'That’s because she’s been released from prison."

Cillian narrowed his eyes, and Deirdre continued. "She had plastic surgery and now she’s using the name Charli

McKinsey. If you don't believe me, you can go and check yourself, Mr. King."

"So?" Cillian asked expressionlessly. "What are you trying to say here?"

"I'm sure you know how much Brendan loves Charlene, right? He would do anything forthat woman, including

sacrifice himself. The reason I have been able to stay by Brendan's side and reap the benefits is that I look like

Charlene," Deirdre said. "If the person abducted wasn't me but Charlene, do you think Brendan would have thrown

everything away and come to beg you to let her go?"

Gillian's eyes glowed up. The things that Deirdre had said were exactly what he had been dreaming of.

However, he soon regained his composure and said, "Why should I trust you since you don't have any proof to

support your statement?"

"First of all, I’m not stupid enough to provoke you with a lie that can be exposed at any moment," Deirdre said

calmly." Second, you'll be able to tell if I’m telling the truth or not when you go check it out. For example, you can

check if Charlene is still in prison or not. You can also check if the name Charli McKinsey is real or not."

Before Cillian could say anything, Deirdre added, "Not only that, but I know where Charlene is right now. You just

need to send some people over there and I assure you that you will find her."

Cillian asked, "Where is she now then?"

Deirdre was not going to tell him that. She struggled a little bit and felt the coarse surface of the rope grazing her

skin. Then, she said, "Mr. King, you’re a smart person, but I'm not that gullible either. I need something to secure

my safety too. I want you to get me a more comfortable place to stay. I'll also give you some time to check

everything I just said. When you make up your mind, we'll continue to talk about the details."
