Chapter 228 Is She Presentable?
Laia had already told the staff in the boutique. Hence, when a staff member heard Charlene, she
smiled apologetically.
“I apologize, Miss McKinney. Laia is taking care of an important guest now. Why don’t you wait a while?
When she’s done, she’ll definitely get to you immediately!”
“What?” Charlene was enraged. She was a VIP client of almost all the boutiques in Neve, yet today,
she was being humiliated before Madame Brighthall. While suppressing her anger, she said, “What do
you mean an important guest? Is that guest more important than me?”
While putting a business smile on her face, the staff member replied, “That important guest is Mr.
Brighthall.”
“Bren?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMadame Brighthall was rather surprised, while Charlene’s smile contained hints of complacency. “Oh, it
turns out that it’s Bren. In that case, Laia should come over here. Where’s Bren? Is he currently with
Laia?” The staff member kept a business smile on as she answered, “Miss McKinney, I apologize, but
we can’t violate our guests’ privacy.”
Charlene’s smile froze. “Do you know who I am to Bren? What do you mean you can’t violate your
guests’ privacy? He doesn’t need any privacy before me!”
“Err…” The staff member hesitated. “But Mr. Brighthall is here with someone else. I’m afraid that it’s
inconvenient for him to meet you.”
“With someone else?” Charlene’s heart skipped a beat, and she became defensive. “Who’s that?”
“A woman. But I’m not sure who she is.”
Charlene’s face turned gloomy. She basically knew who she was. She was surprised to learn that
Brendan had actually taken Deirdre out and wondered whether he had gone nuts!
Did he know how high the chances of running into an acquaintance were here? Did he have to
displease others with her hideous appearance as well?
Madame Brighthall was confused. “Bren is here with a woman? Who is she?”
Charlene turned to Madam Brighthall while furtively nipping herself so that her eyes reddened and she
looked as though she was holding back her sorrow. 1-I think she’s probably Miss McKinnon? Bren has
gotten quite close to her lately, and I haven’t seen Bren in quite some time…”
“What?”
Madame Brighthall became more and more unhappy and tried to stride into the inner hall. The staff
member paced forward. “Madame Brighthall!”
“What?!” Madame Brighthall’s face turned frigid, and her aura of superiority burst forth. “I want to see
my son! Do you still want to stop me?”
When Madame Brighthall personally demanded to meet her son, the staff member had no right to stop

As expected, Brendan was with Laia. As for the woman standing beside them with her head lowered,
who else could she be other than Deirdre?
“Mother?” As soon as Brendan saw Madame Brighthall, he was stunned. Then, he frowned. “Why are
you here?”
“Why am I here? I got here by chance, of course,” Madame Brighthall replied in a grim, implacable
manner. She glared at Deirdre with her cold eyes as she said, “If I hadn’t come here with Charlene, I
wouldn’t have known that it’s not true that you are completely preoccupied with company affairs. So
much so that you aren’t free to visit me!”
“Mother Brendan suddenly had a sharp headache.
“Don’t call me your mother! You don’t even see me as your mother anymore. I’m afraid that you have
been seduced by some woman and no longer care about your mother, let alone your own wife!”
Madame Brighthall was furious. “Do you know what you are doing? You not only abandoned your own
wife, but also took this woman out. Do you think she is presentable?”
