Chapter 611 We Can’t Go Back to How We Were Anymore
"You're talking about Joy? She's fine...’’ "I'm talking about you," Deirdre said sternly as she looked at her. "Are you
all right?"
Laura was stunned for a moment, and understanding soon dawned on her. While she was surprised, she gulped
hard and said, "Thank you for your concern, Miss McKinnon, but I... I'm fine. He just has a short temper. But he's
actually very nice to me."
"He's nice to you?" Deirdre fell silent for a moment and asked, "Is this the answer from your heart, Ms. Smith?"
Laura was stumped. Seizing the chance while she was tongue-tied, Deirdre said, "Ms. Smith, I don't know what
made you give up on Declan and choose Cillian. But I really want to tell you that if you're willing to wait for Declan,
he still loves you and will accept you. However, the premise is that you have to come to your senses and help him."

Decky, Miss McKinnon?"
"I’m just his friend."
"Just friend?"
Deirdre smiled. "Of course. Don’t worry. We're just friends and nothing else.
I just came here this time to help him solve his problem at the party."
"I see...” Laura let out a sigh of relief. After that, she smiled mockingly and said, "But I'm sorry, Miss McKinnon.
There's no way for Decky and me to go back to how we were anymore."
'Why?"
Just when Laura was about to say something, Gillian's voice erupted outside of the door. "Are you done, Laura? We
shouldn't make Mr.
Brighthall and Miss McKinnon wait for us for too long. You still need to decorate the kitchen too."
"Right away!" replied Laura.
Then, she turned to Deirdre and said, "Miss McKinnon, I have to go now."
Deirdre made way for her and asked, "So what about Joy?"
'The maid will take care of her."
Deirdre did not say anything anymore. She followed Laura, and both of them went downstairs. After a while, Mr.
King Sr. and his wife arrived.
Laura hastily went forward to greet them, and Mr. King Sr. laughed happily," It has been some time since we last
met, right, Brendan? I was too busy during the party last time, so I didn't have time to talk to you. Luckily, you
haven’t returned to Neve yet.”
Brendan smiled lightly and replied, "Yeah. Since Mr. King made the call and invited me here, I figured that I should

"Yeah. You need to come more often in the future. We used to be very close in the past. If Declan hadn't fallen out
with-" Mr. King Sr. thought of something and frowned. "Anyway, let's not talk about him. It'll only be a waste of time.
You're Miss McKinnon, right?"
Mr. King Sr. turned around and looked at Deirdre.
Deirdre smiled at him and nodded. "Yes."
He nodded in satisfaction and commented, "As expected of the woman Brendan loves. I still can't forget what
happened back then. Not only were you able to see the situation clearly, but you were able to expose that woman's
lie and helped us to maintain our reputation. You've done us a great favor."
'That's right." Mrs. King came over. She had lost the impatience that she had during the party. She looked as if she
liked Deirdre very much and said, "If it hadn't been for you, we would’ve become the laughingstock of the city. I
bought this several years ago, and I couldn't bring myself to put it on.
And today, I finally found the most suitable person to wear it."
She was holding a bracelet in her hand as she handed it to Deirdre.
Deirdre said, "Madam, I can't take it. This is too much." "It’s fine. Just take it."
