NovelEnglishChapter 62 Found a Scapegoat
Deirdre wanted to laugh. “You’re going to say that I’m wrongly accusing her. Fine then. I’m tired. You
should leave.”
‘Here it goes again.”
Brendan was furious.
‘Have I not done enough for Deirdre? I called Charlene over to the office and questioned her without
definite evidence when Charlene was supposed to be the
person I cherished the most. I doubted her for Deirdre. What else does she want me to do?’
“Don’t push it, Deirdre. It is my bad for not preventing you from nearly being poisoned indeed. However,
you can blame it on me, not on Charlene!”
Deirdre chuckled.
‘How could I ever have the audacity to do that? I can’t blame it on anyone because I’m just a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpowerless, blind person.’
Deirdre did not wish to speak anymore, so she shut her eyes and pulled up the blanket to rest.
Brendan left angrily after being ignored by Deirdre, and his departure startled Sam. Brendan was
emotionally unstable, with extremely drastic mood swings, and had been like this ever since Deirdre
had come into his life in the past.
Brendan did not show up for a long time after this incident but he hired a caregiver to care for Deirdre
on a daily basis.
The caregiver enjoyed reading the tabloids when she was free and would update Deirdre on Brendan’s
whereabouts. He attended charity balls with Charlene and went on work trips, but Charlene was always
by his side.
Deirdre was oblivious and would only speak when she got irritated. “You don’t need to tell me about
him.”
The caregiver was stunned by her cold, harsh tone, so she made up an excuse about getting water and
left in displeasure. Perhaps she found Deirdre ungrateful and thought it was rich of her to throw a
tantrum despite being a disfigured, blind person.
Deirdre shut her eyes in fatigue, feeling the thoughts in her head getting jumbled up. She could not fall
asleep after a long time, but at that very moment, the door was opened.
The clicking sound of high heels on tile could be heard echoing throughout the entire room. Deirdre
looked in the direction of the door with an unpleasant
expression. “Is that you, Charlene?”
She was right. Charlene chuckled and did not attempt to hide her identity. “It’s me. I know that Brendan
has not been paying attention to you in the past two months. I couldn’t bear it anymore, so I’m here to
check on you. How are you?”
‘Check on me? Charlene is checking up on me indeed, but it is not to see how I am doing but to see
me make a fool of myself.”
“Stop pretending, Charlene. If you really cared about me, you wouldn’t have sent someone to poison
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmme.”
Charlene called out, “Yikes! Ms. McKinnon, don’t throw around accusations like that. We looked into
this incident and found the culprit. They have already been dealt with according to the law.”
“Brendan is the only one who believed your crude lie. That person and I are not bound by enmity, so
why would she risk her life in exchange for possibly silencing me? You’re the one who found herself a
scapegoat!”
Charlene beamed in delight and made her way to Deirdre. She looked down at her and dropped the
act. “Yes, I did find myself a scapegoat indeed, but what can you do about that? If Brendan believed
you, you wouldn’t have been reduced to what you are now.”
Deirdre was rendered speechless. Charlene’s true nature was obvious, yet Brendan still chose to
ignore it. He was truly blinded by love, just like she had been in the past.
“Why?” Deirdre clenched her fists tightly. She could still remember the pain she had felt when the
poison had been forced down her throat. even though her throat had already recovered fully. “I’m
already in this state, yet you still won’t let me off, huh?”
Deirdre clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh.
‘Yes, she’s already in this state. She looks hideous and disgusting, yet she still manages to captivate
Brendan’s heart even under the circumstances!’
