Chapter 591 Did He Do This?
Deirdre leaned on his side and answered, "Nothing much. Mr. King is here to thank me for his younger brother's incident."
At the mention of Declan, Brendan furrowed his eyebrows and said in an extremely displeased tone, "It was inappropriate for me to speak in the witness of everyone earlier.
What is your relationship with Declan that you have to help him like that? You made up a poor excuse even."
He sounded jealous, as if he was extremely displeased about his woman showing herself in public to defend another man.
Gillian's expression was unfathomable, while Deirdre said in a coquettish tone, "What do you mean by I made a poor excuse? You can ask Mr. King whether Declan helped me
if you don’t believe me."
"She’s right." Cillian recovered from his surprise and nodded. "A drunkard charged into the female toilet and behaved unkindly toward Miss
McKinnon. My younger brother went to stop the drunkard after hearing the commotion. I immediately sent someone to deal with the drunkard as soon as I learned about the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtincident."
Deirdre sneered in her heart.
Cillian turned the near-miss bully incident into an unkind act, and he even tried to take credit for himself.
"Is that so?" said Brendan, his expression dimmed at once. He scrutinized Deirdre's face covered by concealer and caught everybody by surprise when he asked, "What
unkind behavior did that man engage in?"
"Uh..." Cillian could tell that Brendan was displeased, so he softened Ronan's behavior with great effort. He speculated and said, "He assumed that Miss McKinnon was his
family after he had one too many drinks and wanted to do something to Miss McKinnon. However, don’t worry, Mr.
Brighthall. My younger brother came quickly, and nothing bad happened to Miss McKinnon."
"Nothing bad happened?"
Brendan inquired closely, but his tone sounded off.
Cillian was stunned for a moment. In the next moment, Brendan's eyes glistened with a cold glint, and he tilted Deirdre's chin. "So, what is with your swollen face? You told me
that you knocked on a table accidentally earlier, but in reality, it was that man who hit you?”
His expression was so ghastly that Cillian was startled.
Deirdre knew Brendan well enough, but she could not figure out what had infuriated him.
'Is it only because my current identity is his woman? Or is he putting on an act in Gillian’s presence?’
"Brendan." She lowered her eyes. "I—"
"I don't want to hear any answers that are trying to hide the truth or soften the incident. I want you to tell me the truth. Did that man hurt your face?"
Brendan spoke in a loud and clear voice. He took a deep breath to suppress his anger.
Deirdre's face turned pale, and she answered, "Hmm."
"Where is he now? What is his name?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNoticing that Brendan was determined to get to the bottom of the matter, Cillian hastily said, "Don't worry, Mr. Brighthall. I wouldn't let Miss
McKinnon be mistreated since she is your guest. I've already dealt with the matter for you. We've not only made the drunkard pay 150,000 dollars as compensation, but we've
also made him write an apology letter. He was sent to the police station, and he is still being detained there so he can repent!"
"Repent?" Brendan's pupils constricted abruptly, and he said coldly, "Who isn't capable of paying 150,000 dollars? Isn't it a necessity to write an apology letter? If he is
released after repenting in the police station without any criminal record, he's going to do this the second time and the third time in the future. Moreover, she is my woman! I
won't let him off!"
Gillian's expression turned rigid instantly after he was startled by Brendan’s aura. He was rendered speechless. Even though he knew that Brendan was not targeting him, he
was still scared out of his wits by Brendan's aura.
One should know that Brendan was younger than him by four years.
"However, he is Ronan Lane, the only heir of Lane Industries..."
"Do you think that I'm incapable of handling a measly Lane Industries, Mr. King?" Brendan found it amusing. "Let alone Lane Industries, I won’t even be bothered by the most
powerful corporation in Eastgene!"
