Chapter 592 Pay the Price

Brendan was still as arrogant and proud as usual. His dark, jewel-like pupils were burning with wild anger, yet Cillian was incapable of refuting him.

It was because Brendan did have the capability to be all-domineering indeed.

"Why do you want to have an extra enemy when you can have a friend?" Cillian chuckled forcefully. "When Mr. Lane comes to realize this, he will acknowledge that he owes you a favor and will certainly figure out ways to compensate you by then! Please do it out of respect for me too, Mr. Brighthall—"

In the next moment, Cillian was rendered speechless by Brendan's cold gaze.

"I'm afraid that you've misunderstood, Mr. King. I always get what I want with my own capability, and there is no reason I need to do it on someone's charity. Since he did this, he will need to pay the corresponding price."

Brendan pulled out his phone. Deirdre came to realize the situation and spoke to stop him. "Forget it, Brendan."

She furrowed her eyebrows and did not wish that Brendan would be troubled by this incident in the future. She just wanted to settle Declan's matter soon so she could leave Eastgene.

"I'm fine. I know that you care about me, but it would be better if we didn't make a big fuss out of this situation."

Brendan caressed her hair and did not answer her at once. He was breathing slowly to suppress his anger. 'This matter is no longer related to you."

He left with long strides to deal with the situation.

Cillian appeared relieved, but his expression remained unpleasant. He lost his prior healthy look.

"Miss McKinnon." He recovered from his surprise and stared at Deirdre with a strange expression. He had already lost the frivolousness and contempt in his tone that he had in the washroom earlier, but he sounded like he was fearful. "I didn't expect that you'd be so important to Brendan in the beginning. You should know that Ronan is not someone to fool around with."

Deirdre also felt very vexed in her heart, but she could only feign her nonchalance upon hearing that. "I told you that Brendan gets jealous very easily, Mr. King."

"Yes, but I've never seen him lose his temper like that. He has always been serious and can't be bothered by most things. Yet, he came to the party because of you, then..." Cillian forced a smile and said, "I wonder how both of you got acquainted with each other. If he has a woman he treasures so much, why haven't I heard anyone mentioning you before?"

Deirdre lowered her eyes.

"Why have you not heard anyone mentioning me before? That is because the name of Deirdre doesn't deserve to be associated with Brendan, of course.'

She widened her mouth but felt especially chaotic inside her.

Meanwhile, Declan suddenly approached them with a glass of liquor." Cillian."

He greeted Cillian courteously first as if he had already forgotten about Gillian's oppressive episode earlier. Then, he raised his glass and expressed his gratitude to Deirdre. 'Thank you for all your help earlier, Miss McKinnon. Had it not been you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to end the incident so easily."

Deirdre felt more relieved in Declan's presence. "Don't mention it. I was only stepping forward to put in a word at most. In truth, your assistant found the breach and told me about it. It was him who went looking for the surveillance footage while I was only speaking according to his idea."

She seized the opportunity to explain how she was connected to Fionn.

Declan smiled and said, 'The whole thing came to light because you took a stand. I won't say 'thank you' too many times, but please allow me to toast a drink to you."

He raised his glass. Cillian, who kept quiet all this time, suddenly said," Miss McKinnon doesn't drink, Declan. Isn't it disrespectful to toast a drink to someone who doesn't drink?"
