Chapter 338 Hand Him Over to Another Person
The seed of suspicion began to sprout in Charlene’s heart after listening to Elaine’s speculation. However, she had
seen Brendan at Neve yesterday, and Neve was pretty far away from Alnwick, so what was going on?
When Charlene did not say anything, Elaine added, “What are you still waiting for, Charlene? Do you really want to
hand over the man who you’ve been in love with for so many years to that woman?
“She got it easy and became his wife because she looks like you. Not only that, but she’s also the reason you can’t
appear in public. Now she’s going to steal your fiance away from you again! If you don’t do anything right now,
you’ll lose what you have today!”
The things Elaine said reminded Charlene of her bitter past. A hint of coldness crossed her eyes. She was not going
to go back to those days again.
“Alright, I know what I should do. Thank you so much, Elaine,” Charlene said gently.” I’ll get someone to send you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe purse that just got released this year.”
Elaine’s eyes glowed with delight, but she pretended she did not want it. “You don’t have to do that. We are friends
and should help each other.”
Charlene laughed and ended the call. As soon as she hung up the phone, her smile disappeared, and her face
turned cold. She clenched her fists tightly and looked at the photo again–the smile on the woman’s face in the
photo stung her eyes greatly.
She did not understand why she was still so happy, even in her current state.
As for her, ever since Madame Brighthall learned it was someone else who had been keeping her company for
those two years, she cut ties with her. She had tried to visit her several times but refused to see her.
She had lost Madame Brighthall’s support. If she lost Brendan again…
She did not dare to think what would happen to her then. She gnashed her teeth tightly and went out.
Brendan had yet to recover from his injuries. He was still in a serious condition since the wound on his abdomen
couldn’t heal, so he had been recuperating in the villa. Besides, after what happened to Deirdre, he had been
keeping himself in his room, and she could only see him when he was having a meal.
When Charlene appeared, Sam said sternly, “You’ve come at bad timing, Miss McKinney. Mr. Brighthall has an
operation tomorrow, so he’s resting in his room
now. You should come back the day after tomorrow.”
Charlene just wanted to find out whether the man in the photo was Brendan. She ignored what Sam said and
pressed on. “Since he has an operation tomorrow, I should stay and take care of him. I’m sure he’ll be bored
staying in his room alone. I’ll go up and keep him company.”
“Miss Mckinney-”
“Sam.” Charlene’s face sank. “You may have served Deirdre in the past, but she’s gone now. I’m sure you know
who’ll be the future Mrs. Brighthall, so let’s not make
this difficult for both of us.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSam froze. Charlene hastily rushed up to the second floor and pushed open the door to Brendan’s room.
The moment she entered the room, she was welcomed by darkness. The curtains were drawn tightly, and the only
thing left in the room was the smell of wine and medicine, both of which made Charlene frown.
She looked toward the bed, and Brendan was sitting on the bed. His body was enveloped in the darkness, and he
seemed dispirited. Even though he knew that Deirdre was still alive, it still did not give him enough motivation to
keep living.
“Brendan…” Charlene covered her nose and asked, “Are you all right?”
The man shuffled in his bed and frowned. “What are you doing here?”
“I… I just wanted to see you. I saw that you weren’t in good condition when I had a meal with you yesterday. By the
way, when is your operation? I want to keep you company…”
“Tomorrow night,” he replied impatiently. “Get out of my room now. I want to rest.”
“Alright.” Charlene closed the door and looked at the time on her phone.
It had only been one hour since Elaine saw Deirdre. There was no way Brendan could have made his way back from
Alnwick in such a short period. Apparently, the man in the photo was not Brendan.
