Chapter 637 She Was a Part of Brendan's Plan

Declan walked toward them, and Glenna was already incapable of taking her eyes off him.

He was so good-looking that she could only describe him as breathtaking.

"Miss McKinnon." Declan nodded toward Deirdre courteously, then turned his head to look at Glenna. He cracked a

smile and said respectfully," You're Glenna, right? I frequently sought your help to handle many tasks previously.

Thank you for taking the trouble to do those tasks."

Glenna was at a loss for how to behave herself. Her usual high spirits and enthusiasm vanished at this very

moment, and she felt muddle-headed.

Deirdre cleared her throat, and Glenna was jolted back to reality. She rubbed her palms anxiously at all times and

answered, "It’s... It's no... No trouble..."

Declan smiled. "You sounded very extroverted on the phone. I didn’t expect you to be so shy in person."

Deirdre could not refrain from chuckling aloud. Glenna was an extrovert, but she would shrivel up when she was in

the presence of someone she fancied.

Deirdre came to Glenna's rescue by saying, "Did you just get off a flight, Mr. King?"

"Yes." Declan seized the opportunity to take a seat by sitting next to Glenna.

Deirdre asked, "Where is Mr. Fox then?"

"He is personally paying a visit to Village Alnwick for the development project, so he will not be joining us."

The meals were served coincidentally, so Deirdre picked up the cutlery and said, "Let's eat. I believe that you

caught an early flight today. You should be hungry for lunch by now, right?"

"A little hungry indeed." Declan did not decline the offer and began eating as well.

Glenna only took two bites of her meal after a long time.

Declan found her behavior strange and asked, "Glenna, is the food not suited to your preference?"

Glenna felt as if her heart was electrocuted. She hastily said, "Please don't address me as Glenna anymore!"

Declan paused for a moment. "What should I address you as, then? Ms. Glaser?"

"Hmm..."

Glenna left soon after they walked out of the restaurant.

Declan looked at her departing silhouette for a long time before he said in frustration, "It seems that Ms. Glaser is

not very fond of me."

Deirdre wanted to laugh but could not. It would be inappropriate for her to tell Declan that Glenna was not not fond

of him, but on the contrary, Glenna was too fond of him. There was no way for her to tell Declan that. As such, she

could only avoid the topic of conversation as her response.

"She is rather... Hmm... Shy in temperament. It's possible that she will be better after interacting with you for a

while."

Declan nodded nonchalantly, not bothered at all. "I shall send you home."

"Sure."

They chatted casually after getting into the car.

Deirdre received some updates from Declan through the conversation, such as that Gillian's arm was crippled and

he would not be able to use it anymore. There was also the video clip of Ci Ilian humiliating Brendan that the latter

used as evidence to force the Kings into covering up the incident without any condition.

Upon hearing that, Deirdre fell into a daze for a long time. She was only jolted back to reality after Declan called

out to her repeatedly.

"What's going on?"

Deirdre shook her head and asked, "What did Brendan get from the Kings then?"

Declan was rather surprised. "How did you know?"

Deirdre smiled and said, "Just a wild guess."

"He received a plot of land for a development project. Even though the Kings don't need the project, it costs more

than 150,000,000 dollars, and it's enough to keep the Kings' cash flow for a good while."

Deirdre nodded after a while.

Brendan had been beaten up and forced to kneel just so he could use this as evidence to manipulate the Kings. He

had punished Cillian just so he could receive a project worth more than 150,000,000 dollars.

Which part of this involved him doing things for her?

Perhaps, not a single tiny part was for her. If she were to ponder further, she realized that she had been a part of

Brendan's plan. Otherwise, why would Cillian be able to avoid Brendan’s attention and find her hiding spot to abduct

her?
