Chapter 716 A Shot In the Dark

Deirdre's hands were shaking. She tried to open her eyes as wide as possible to see clearly the man in front of her, but to no avail. She forced herself to calm down and asked, “Why... Why is Kyran’s phone in your car?"

Brendan had never expected something like this to happen. He frowned and chided himself for his carelessness. He had been very cautious in the past and had always been meticulous about everything. Now, he had made a mistake because of the photo.

However, he soon calmed himself down and said, "I met with him today."

Deirdre became nervous. “You met with him today?!"

‘Yes, what's the matter?" Brendan sneered.

"Don't worry. I didn't do anything to him. We just had a little talk."

Deirdre’s heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and her chest was heaving up and down rapidly. What did you guys talk about?"

‘‘Well, we talked about a lot of things. For example, we talked about you."

"Me?"

"Didn't you beg me to let him go? Honestly, I didn't want to do it, but since I was the one who put you in a dangerous situation yesterday, I approached him. As long as he helps me with a favor, I'll wipe the slate clean.”

Deirdre's face turned pale.

"What kind of favor?"

"It’s just a very small thing that’s not even worth mentioning.” Brendan smiled coldly again.

“I just didn’t expect him to be so careless. How could he drop his phone in my car?"

Deirdre took a deep breath. Even though she was skeptical of the things that Brendan had told her, there was no better reason to explain why

Kyran’s phone would appear in his car.

There was no way Kyran would keep in touch with Brendan just because he knew him. It was also impossible for him to… Deirdre’s expression changed as she said, "Give me his phone."

Brendan handed her some bread and said, ‘Til give it to you after you finish this."

Deirdre was stunned. She did not want to accept Brendan's kindness, but she could not say no to him since she wanted to take Kyran's phone back. Therefore, she could only take the bread and take a bite.

To her surprise, she liked the taste. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

In the past, Brendan would not have noticed something like this at all. She froze for a moment and then calmed herself down. How could

Brendan know what she liked to eat? Deirdre did not know. Perhaps he had gotten it right out of pure luck.

After she returned to the mansion, Deirdre clipped the copied version of the photo that Glenna had given her in a book. Then, Tobey called.

"Deirdre, I've already arrived. Where are you? I'll bring the stuff to you now."

Deirdre was surprised. She had not expected Tobey to arrive so soon, so she hastily told him her address.

After a while, the doorbell rang. Deirdre opened the door and found Tobe standing outside.

Tobey was stunned when he saw Deirdre's face, and a hint of surprise crossed his eyes. Then, he smiled and said, "Deirdre,your face recovered?"

Deirdre nodded. ‘Yeah, my face recovered. I forgot to tell you about it." Tobey smiled helplessly and teased her.

"You were originally out of my league, and now that your face has recovered, I feel even more inferior to you. You were right not to choose me."

"Tobey..."

Tobey let out a hearty laugh and said, “Don't take it so seriously. I'm just joking. Can I come in now?”

Deirdre hastily moved aside to make way for Tobey. Tobey, who was holding a lot of things, asked, ‘‘Where should I put these things? All of them are edible, and although you can find them here, my mom insisted that I bring them over to you."

‘Thank you,” Deirdre said.

‘‘You can just put them in front of the door."

Tobey smiled and pulled the photo out. “What about this? This is Mrs. McKinnon's photo.”
