Chapter 202 An Exorbitant Demand

Brendan had always thought that Deirdre looked beautiful. He used to believe that he had this thought

just because she looked like Charlene. Nevertheless, his thought remained unchanged even though

Deirdre had been disfigured for a long time.

Deirdre’s mouth was open, but she couldn’t say a single word. She only felt awkward. As she tried to

change the topic, the child in her embrace began to cry, grabbing her collar without any intention of

letting go.

“What is it? Are you feeling uncomfortable?” Deirdre got nervous but she didn’t lose her cool. She

patted the back of the child with one hand while touching the child’s forehead with the other.

She did it in one go, and the little girl in her embrace stopped crying.

Brendan felt rather dazzled while watching Deirdre. He inexplicably wondered how good it would be if

this child was theirs!

In that case, even if Deirdre learned about the death of her mother, she would live for the sake of the

child. He wouldn’t allow her to suffer continuously provided that she lived a good life.

“Brendan? Brendan?”

As soon as Brendan recollected himself, he realized that Deirdre had called his name a couple of

times. Hence, he immediately replied, “I’m here. What is it?”

Deirdre bit her lip, feeling that something was inexplicably strange about this. However, she didn’t dwell

on it, so she said, “Can you please help me check what she needs? Although she stopped crying, she

doesn’t want to let go of my collar.”

When Brendan saw the girl drooling and pulling on Deirdre’s collar, he instantly understood and replied.

” She’s hungry.”

“She’s hungry?” Deirdre responded by saying hesitantly, “Shall we take her to get some food or wait for

her parents?”

As Brendan was about to reply, a man and a woman rushed over from the other side of the street.

“What are you two doing here?!” The woman snatched the child from Deirdre and pushed her away

with force. “Are you trying to kidnap a child? You two look kind, but you turned out to be human

traffickers! What a shame!”

The child started to cry. Deirdre was forced to retreat and fell backward. Fortunately, Brendan reacted

fast enough to prevent her from falling. With a frigid expression, he glared at the couple.

“We, trying to kidnap a child? Don’t you know where you left your child? If we had been any later, she’d

have died of suffocation.”

“What the hell are you talking about!” The young man reprimanded him with bloodshot eyes. “Watch

your words! Your child would have died of suffocation, not ours! It’s not summer. So what if we let her

stay in the car while we went to watch a movie? It’s none of your business!”

Meanwhile, the man saw the shattered window of his car. Infuriated, he yanked Brendan’s arm and

snarled, “You did this, right?! How dare you shatter my car window! I’ll make sure you pay for the

damage!” “Exactly! Pay for the damage!” While holding the child in her arms, the woman recklessly

scurried over without noticing that she had hurt the child. She did not care about the crying child.

Instead, she said accusingly, “As a man wearing a branded suit, aren’t you ashamed of shattering our

car window to steal a kid? We will not back down unless you pay for the damage! Pay us 40,000

dollars, or we’ll report it to the

police!”

Deirdre turned pale while hearing the non–stop accusations of the couple. She hadn’t expected that

these two would be so shameless.

Brendan took a glance at the car and shot back with disgust on his face, “Is your car worth 40,000

dollars? Why would you make such an exorbitant demand?”

The woman’s expression suddenly changed. Meanwhile, the man was so infuriated that he tried to

lunge at Brendan. But when the man saw Brendan’s intimidating aura and height, he retreated and said

with a stubborn tone, “I want you to pay for the damage regardless! Otherwise, I’ll take you to the police

station. The choice is yours! For a man like you, who wears a branded suit, 40,000 dollars isn’t a big

deal, is it? Besides, my child is frightened! What’s wrong with charging a little extra money?”
