NovelEnglishChapter 189 She’s Lying
“How did that happen…” Charlene bit her lower lip, feeling scared out of her wits. She asked in a flurry,”
What happened afterward? Is Ms. McKinnon alright? She’s too foolish. Why would she commit suicide
because of this?”
“She was saved in the end.”
“Great then.” Charlene felt relieved. She remembered something that made her face turn paler and she
looked at Brendan incredulously. “Brendan, you’re here to tell me about Ms. McKinnon’s suicide
attempt… What are you implying? You also asked about my whereabouts yesterday. Could you be
suspecting me of exposing the secret?”
Brendan did not answer, but Charlene’s eyes reddened with tears instantly. “Did Ms. McKinnon tell you
that I told her the secret?”
“No.” Brendan frowned deeply, and his voice sounded agitated. “I was only asking casually.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTears were falling from Charlene’s eyes. “You don’t have to put in a good word for Ms. McKinnon. Why
would you associate the incident with me if she hadn’t mentioned it? Besides, Brendan, you’re breaking
my heart. Why would you think that I’m the culprit behind this incident? Is it because of that dog?
“Yes! I admit that the dog incident was my fault! It was the servant who committed the act, but it was
partly incited by me. But I truly had no idea that the dog would die such a tragic death! Even if I really
did ask my servant to do that, was I not supposed to do it? Deirdre framed me and almost caused my
death. She ruined my leg, and now she’s trying to take you away from me too! I should be selfless in
love and offer you to her magnanimously, right?”
Charlene was bawling profusely and hysterically.
Brendan furrowed his eyebrows. “Charlene…”
“Rosaly, bring me the receipts from my shopping trip yesterday!” Charlene ordered the servant while
she wiped her tears. She then handed the receipts to Brendan when the servant brought them. “These
are the receipts from my shopping trip yesterday morning till afternoon, with a timestamp printed on
them. You can look into the receipts and ask around for information. The return journey from the
shopping location. to your villa took two hours, so these will tell you whether I was at the villa or not
yesterday, Mr. Brighthall!”
Brendan held the receipts in his hand and felt extremely agitated deep inside. Charlene could not be
bothered to be in the same room with him, so she took it upon herself to head upstairs while she said, ”
See the guest to the door, Rosaly!”
By the time the servant led Brendan to the door and returned to the living room, Charlene had already
gotten downstairs. Noticing the situation, the servant approached Charlene and complimented her by
saying, “You’re impressive, miss! You had already prepared an alibi for yesterday and you also
explained the dog’s death well enough that Mr. Brighthall is no longer bearing a grudge against you.
Instead, he’s feeling guilty.”
Charlene could not derive pleasure from the incident. Her fists were so tightly clenched that her nails
dug into her flesh, and her beautiful eyes were surging with hatred. “But he was here.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe fact that he had come signified his lack of trust in her and how much he favored Deirdre!
She had exhausted every means and spent a year to captivate Brendan, yet she had not expected that
everything would change as soon as that woman came back into his life. She’d had to utilize ways that
had hurt her in the process just to achieve equilibrium with great effort.
How would she be able to make peace with that?
“That b*tch is just like a ghost that keeps coming back!” Charlene picked up a vase and threw it on the
floor, shattering it. Then, she swept away all the items on the coffee table. “She didn’t even manage to
die after jumping off a building. You can’t blame me for not being courteous anymore!
“Call him up. It’s time for him to make a move!”
Brendan looked into the receipts and discovered that Charlene’s alibi checked out. There were images
of Charlene’s face on the surveillance footage at the shopping mall.
Hence, Deirdre was lying.
‘She still won’t give up. She is constantly trying to defame Charlene.’
Brendan was agitated and furious. ‘If only she had stayed out of trouble just for a bit, she wouldn’t have
ended up in her current situation.’
