NovelEnglishChapter 240 Stop Deceiving Yourself
“Is there anybody else with them?”
The sales associate shook her head. “Just the mother and daughter. I have yet to see anybody else
with them.”
Charlene’s pupils constricted abruptly, and she clutched the sales associate’s arm.” Mother and
daughter? What do you mean by mother and daughter?”
She was really agitated. The sales associate looked anxious because she had no idea what she had
done to trigger Charlene’s anger. She answered cautiously, “You asked about those two. They are
mother and daughter… The first thing the young woman with the disfigured face said when she entered
the shop was that she’s shopping for clothes for her mother. What else can they be if not mother and
daughter…”
Charlene was extremely shocked. No one knew better than her that Ophelia was already dead. She

Hence, Deirdre could not have a mother.
She pressed the sales associate with a gloomy expression by saying, “Are you sure? Are you sure that
the young woman acknowledged the other woman as her mother?”
The sales associate nodded repeatedly. “I’m a hundred percent sure! I’m a thousand percent certain!
Ms. McKinney, I wouldn’t say something without being sure. That woman has been addressing the
person next to her as her mother since she entered the shop, so it couldn’t possibly not be true.”
“Understood…”
Charlene’s beautiful eyes were glistening, and she stared closely in Deirdre’s
direction.
Maeve was not acquainted with Charlene, and Deirdre was blind, so Charlene could look as much as
she wanted without being concerned. She could see the smile on Deirdre’s face, and her affection for
the strange woman, her speech, and demeanor were all exactly the way one would treat one’s mother.
In the end, Deirdre said, “Mother, I believe that this piece is pretty good. Why don’t you put it on in the
dressing room to see if it fits?”
“Hah…” Charlene sneered aloud, finding it incredulous.
She had not expected that Brendan would go as far as to hire a strange woman just
so he could deceive Deirdre.
It was no wonder Deirdre was suddenly so quiet about Ophelia’s death and had agreed to go out with
Brendan. Charlene had assumed that Deirdre did not care about her mother’s death anymore. Judging
by the current situation, Brendan had figured out another way to pacify Deirdre.
Her eyes were filled with maliciousness. Perhaps Brendan’s plan would have continued to work had
she not found out about it, but it was very apparent that luck was on her side. She would not let Deirdre
have things her way so easily.
‘A woman like Deirdre should have died in prison!‘
Charlene approached Deirdre step by step as she looked at Maeve, who was entering the dressing
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmroom to try on the clothes.
Deirdre was still feeling the fabric and style of the clothes meticulously with her hands next to the
display rack. She was caught off guard by the sound of high heels clicking on the floor and soon,
Charlene sniggered. “It has been a long time since we last met, Ms. McKinnon.”
Deirdre’s good mood diminished substantially as soon as she heard that voice. She pretended not to
hear Charlene by turning a deaf ear to her remark. She held up the garment to weigh it in her hand.
Charlene took a step forward and snatched the garment from her hand. “Deirdre! When will you stop
deceiving yourself!”
Deirdre furrowed her eyebrows. “What do you mean, Ms. McKinney?”
‘Deceiving myself… Where did that come from?‘
Charlene laughed in contempt. “Aren’t you deceiving yourself by addressing a strange woman as your
own mother? If your mother was aware of your actions, I bet she would die from anger upon seeing you
address any woman as your mother after losing your sight!”
Deirdre’s empty eyes exuded coldness and anger when she heard that remark. ” Watch your mouth,
Charlene.”
“I’m only telling you the truth out of kindness. I can’t bear to see you being kept in the dark. Why are
you so pissed about that?”
