Chapter 146 Sam Had Left
Deirdre waited for quite some time to ensure that there wasn’t any movement outside before she tried to get off the bed.
She was so thirsty that she simply pulled out a coat from the wardrobe, put it on, and went downstairs. After satisfying her thirst, she heard footsteps approaching. When she was assured that the sound didn’t belong to Brendan, she asked, “Sam, is that you?”
The man outside scratched his head in embarrassment and chuckled. “Miss McKinnon, you’re mistaken. I’m not Sam but Sawyer.”
“Sawyer?”
The man quickly introduced himself. “Sam and I are the bodyguards of Mr. Brighthall. We used to meet in the past, but I think you can recall who I am now.”
Following that, he felt rather guilty because he used to mock Deirdre a lot because she was both ugly and blind. However, the incident yesterday night made him somewhat realize the status of Deirdre to Brendan. Hence, it was best for him if Deirdre could not recall.
In fact, Deirdre couldn’t recall it. After all, many had treated her badly. It was just that she frowned when she heard Sawyer talking about Sam.
“Where’s Sam? Why is he not here? He should be the one who comes here, shouldn’t he? Has anything happened to him?”
Sawyer replied, “No, he’s fine. It’s just that when Sam learned that you were locked up in the storehouse in the backyard, he disobeyed Mr. Brighthall’s order and took you out. I think this is why Mr. Brighthall’s assigned him to another place. From now onward, I’ll be the one to take care of you, miss.”
Following that, Sawyer couldn’t stop blurting out, “But Sam is really miserable. He’s been assigned to the casino, which is chaotic and tiring. For the sake of saving you, I think he’ll be very busy from now on…”
Deirdre’s face turned pale.
She had assumed she was lucky. It turned out that it was Sam who had disobeyed Brendan’s order and taken her out. As a result, Sam was punished by Brendan, who sent him to a place where it was hard and tiring.
Her heart trembled. Brendan was indeed very domineering and authoritarian. Whoever disobeyed his order would not end well. Perhaps, what he had wanted was for her to die in the storehouse.
Thinking of that, Deirdre felt the wind outside was colder than usual. It was cruelly blowing in, blowing over her skin.
She bit her lip as she asked, “Can I call Sam?”
“Err…” Sawyer was put in a quandary. “I’m sorry, Miss McKinnon. Mr. Brighthall has demanded that we must not let you contact anyone alone.”
“A-Alright, I got it.” Deirdre closed her eyes and put down the teacup in her hand. “Where is Brendan?”
“Mr. Brighthall is in the house. I think he should be resting in his bedroom.”
When Deirdre heard the reply, she took the familiar route and walked cautiously to the stairs. Following that, she went up along the stairs and got to the door to Brendan’s room.
She didn’t dare to knock on the door because she knew how angry Brendan would be if someone woke him up. Hence, she merely sat outside the door while glazing over.
She had no idea how long it took. She felt cold, and her limbs were numb until the door was finally opened.
Brendan was wearing a suit. The moment he saw Deirdre, he stopped, and his eyes narrowed. “What are you doing here?” he asked.
Deirdre grabbed the railing to pull herself up. Her face was pale, and her chapped lips trembled. She licked them before she said, “Did you send Sam to the casino?“
Brendan frowned. He had not thought that Deirdre would wait for him at the door for the sake of Sam. His face instantly turned gloomy, and he said coldly, “What do you mean by I sent Sam to the casino? He is originally from the casino, so I didn’t send him back just because of you.”
“Why would you send him back suddenly?” Deirdre grabbed the railing tightly while trying to stop her eyes from turning red. She took a deep breath and raised her head. “Is it because of me?”
