Chapter 861 Take Miss McKinnon
After Deirdre’s wounds were dressed, Madame Brighthall kept her company for a while.
Deirdre lay on the bed after Madame Brighthall left, yet she was having difficulty falling asleep.
She dreamt of her mother sitting cross-legged under the apricot tree and waving to her when she finally fell asleep.
Her smile was just as kind and gentle as before. "You’re late. Put down your school bag quickly. I don’t want my
precious daughter to be tired."
She ran forward with tears down her face, yet the scene changed to the rooftop instantly. She watched as her
mother jumped from the rooftop and screamed hysterically, but there was nothing she could do.
"Miss McKinnon! Miss McKinnon!"
Deirdre was awakened by the sound of someone knocking on the door. She sat upright in shock, breathing heavily,

"What's going on?"
She felt her way to open the door. The maid said in a panicked tone, "Miss McKinnon, the police are here."
Deirdre sat in the living room and felt the oppressive feeling from the crowd of police officers in the house. The
police officer brandished his badge and said with a cold expression, "Deirdre McKinnon, someone reported to the
police for the premeditated homicide of Charli McKinsey. You're coming with us."
Madame Brighthall immediately ran out. "Sir... This is a misunderstanding.
What do you mean by premeditated homicide? It is utterly impossible!
There must be a mistake somewhere."
The police officer treated Madame Brighthall with respect in view of her identity, but he still spoke sternly. "Madam,
the police have investigated this case, and there is no mistake. Miss Charli McKinsey is the person who reported this
case to us." 'What?"
Madame Brighthall backed away repeatedly. 'Charli has reported it to the police?'
The police officer said, "Don't worry, madam. The police won't wrong a good person, but if we do find that Miss
McKinnon didn't commit the crime indeed upon our investigation, we'll send her back. Take Miss McKinnon!"
The female police officer behind him stepped forward and cuffed Deirdre’s wrists.
Deirdre did not resist and followed the police outside calmly.
Meanwhile, Brendan arrived in a rush and got out of the car. His flawlessly handsome face was tense, while his dark
eyes were bloodshot as he stared strenuously at the woman walking out of the yard.
'You're going to be fine, Deirdre. I will make sure that you're released safely."
Deirdre ignored him, lowered her head, and got into the police car.
The police car drove away. Madame Brighthall hobbled to Brendan and gave him a ferocious slap.

to exterminate everyone! What have I done wrong in raising a son like you!?"
Madame Brighthall was furious while Brendan's head was slightly turned to the side.
The maid hastily grabbed Madame Brighthall’s arm. "Madame Brighthall... Please calm down. I'm sure that Mr.
Brighthall didn't want this to happen either!" "He didn’t want this to happen? If he didn’t want this to happen, why
did he invite Charli to throw her birthday party here? If he didn't want this to happen, why did he let Charli show up
in Deirdre’s room that day? If he didn't want this to happen, why is Deirdre detained by the police?" 1
Madame Brighthall covered her chest, and her face turned purple bit by bit. 'There are things that I don't ask, but it
doesn't mean that I don't know. I shouldn't have told you Deirdre’s whereabouts in the past had I known that you'd
be so unrepentant!" "Madame Brighthall! Don't talk anymore. Have your medicine quickly!"
The maid bustled about by bringing medicine and water.
Brendan did not utter a word, but he turned around and got into the car.
He made a promise to Madame Brighthall before he got into the car, "I won't let anything happen to Deirdre."
The car engine was started. He drove all the way to the hospital and opened the door to the ward. Charlene was
sitting on the bed, being fed food bite by bite. She beamed with joy at the sight of Brendan. 'You're here, Brendan."
