Chapter 531 I Want You To Pay The Price
Charlene had thus lost another advantage in competing with Deirdre.
Meanwhile, Deirdre, who was facing Charlene’s oppressive eyes, remained calm and collected. It was as if she
wasn’t facing her enemy, who once wished to kill her. She even lifted up the corner of her mouth.
“Miss McKinney, how are you doing? It’s been about two weeks since we last met, hasn’t it?”
Charlene regained her calmness and smiled. “I’m sorry I don’t get you. What I know is that we haven’t seen each
other since we were separated from Neve. In fact, I have been wondering why the police came to me. It turns out
that Miss McKinnon is trying to avenge me by plotting against me because she is jealous that her ex-husband has
fallen for me and wants to marry me.”
“So, you won’t confess regardless, right?” said Deirdre while looking at Charlene.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile blinking her eyes, Charlene rebutted, “What do you want me to confess? Miss McKinnon, do you know that I
am innocent? I’m not surprised that you hate me because of our emotional entanglement. However, you can’t
blame me for no reason, can you?”
“Maeve O’Keefe. Can you still remember her?”
Charlene’s smile froze for a second when she heard Deirdre’s question.
She clenched her fists and asked, “What do you mean?”
Composed, Deirdre said, “You deny it probably because you think that with me as the witness, you don’t think the
police can detain you for long without evidence, in addition to the emotional entanglement between us. But what
about if there’s another witness?”
At that moment, Charlene lost her smile.
“You thought I was dead. And because you got a scapegoat and no one else would think that you were the culprit,
you didn’t think of other aspects at all. What you didn’t expect was that not everyone would keep this secret for
you.”
“What do you want to do?” asked Charlene with her fists clenched.
Deirdre rose to her feet. Her eyes betrayed her hatred as she replied, “I want you to get the retribution you
deserve, and I want you to pay the price!”
Hints of fluster could be seen in Charlene’s eyes. She took a deep breath and kept denying it. “Miss McKinnon, there
is no grievance or enmity between us. Why are you trying to slander me when the relationship between you and
Brendan has ended?”
“You will know thoroughly when the case is brought to trial.” Taking two steps towards the exit, Deirdre
remembered something and stopped to add, “Don’t worry. It won’t be long.”
Charlene stared at Deirdre with bloodshot eyes, who went out when a police officer opened the door for her. She

Charlene could remember the scene when she first met Declan. At that time, even though Declan was smiling
brightly, his gaze was indifferent. Therefore, Declan’s current expression showed that he was obviously concerned
about Deirdre.
She began wondering whether she had misunderstood Deirdre and Brendan. Perhaps Deirdre was Declan’s partner
instead?
Thinking of Declan’s identity, size believed she would lose the court case if he were to help Deirdre!
And she was flustered.
When a police officer approached her, she immediately shouted, “Where’s my lawyer!? Call him here now!”
Not long after Charlene’s lawyer came and the door was closed behind them, Charlene overturned the table to vent
her anger. “That b*tch! She actually survived! What the h*ll did they do!?”
The lawyer glanced outside and said, “Miss McKinsey, please talk softer. Although the police have no right to bug
our conversation in this room, it doesn’t mean they can’t hear us.
“So what if they hear us? This is already the case!”
