The Infamous Criminal
Many people were surprised because Brendan had not been invited to the banquet!
Striding over, Desmond asked, “Brendan B right hall! Don’t you care about a woman, even if it means
sacrificing the company’s future? Why are you here today?”
After Brendan took the champagne from the waiter, he replied, “I just heard that the company is holding
an internal banquet, yet I was not informed. I thought you were too happy that you forgot to invite me.
So, I’m here just to congratulate you.”
“Congratulate?” Desmond’s shrewd eyes were full of distrust. “Given your reputation in public, not
shaming the company is already the biggest congratulation you can offer. You are not welcome at this
banquet! We gave you a chance, but you didn’t know when to back off!” “Shaming?” Smiling, Brendan
raised his glass. “Speaking of shaming, it seems that your acts were no better than mine in the past.”
“Bren, I heard five years ago about a man named Desmond Griffin, who called two women into his
room, and his wife caught him in the act. Is he the same person?” asked Deirdre with hesitation.
Brendan took Deirdre in his arms. “You have a good memory indeed. I didn’t expect you to remember
something from five years ago. You’re right. At that time, Desmond was still very perky, but it’s a pity…”
The crowd sighed at what Brendan had stated. The infidelity scandal had become so severe that
Desmond had had to leave the Brighthall Group immediately and return only after the effects of the
case had subsided. But he also acted very low-profile as a result.
If not for many board members supporting Desmond’s rise, many employees in the company probably
wouldn’t have much impression of him.
Desmond looked ugly. A board member paced toward Brendan and said,” Brendan, don’t twist the
facts. How can you compare Griffin’s affair with what you did? Don’t forget that protecting a suspect is
equivalent to you committing a crime!” “Yes!” others echoed. ‘The mistake Mr. Griffin made didn’t put
the company in jeopardy. Whoever cares only about women is not qualified to lead the Brighthall
Group!”
Desmond’s face gradually turned normal. Following that, he took another glance at
Deirdre, frowned abruptly, and reprimanded coldly, “Brendan Brighthall! What’s your intention in
bringing a criminal to the company’s banquet?” “What? A criminal?” “Is that woman a criminal?”
The reprimand led to a commotion, and those people finally looked at Deirdre’s face, which was so
beautiful that it was difficult for them to associate her with the one who pushed someone down the
balcony.
They began discussing among themselves. “What does Mr. Brighthall want to do by bringing a criminal
here with him? If the police were to find out, would the company be affected?” ‘What an immature man
to treat the company as a toy just for the sake of a woman…”
Desmond sneered. “Brendan, I don’t know your intention in bringing this woman. I don’t mind you
joining in as a shareholder, but this criminal must leave!”
Even though Brendan’s eyes were icy cold, he kept smiling. “I think you should be more careful with
your words. Who is the criminal?” “Do you mean you refuse to admit it?” said Desmond furiously.
‘Why should I admit that when it is not the fact? You said Deirdre is a criminal, but why can she be here
and not in prison? What do you think of the police?”
Desmond snorted. “Don’t apply your tricks on me. Everyone knows that she is a criminal. You just
resorted to tricks to bring her out.”
