Chapter 114 Can’t Get a Permanent Criminal Record

Deirdre’s entire body was shaking. She felt as if the sky was collapsing on her and that the coldness of the world was endless.

“Don’t…” She inhaled a deep breath shakily, and her eyes reddened with tears in an attempt to calm herself as she pleaded with Brendan. “I’m begging you, Brendan. Don’t get the police involved. I’ll agree to any condition…”

“Don’t beg him! Deirdre!” Sterling felt his heart wrench in pain. He rubbed Deirdre’s hair gently without any concern for Brendan’s cold stare and said in a determined tone, “I’ll just be placed in a detention facility for a few days. It’s nothing serious, and I don’t care anyway.”

He looked toward Brendan once again, his eyes filled with coldness. “Our society is governed by law. Could it be that he’s going to get me killed in the detention facility?”

Brendan’s gaze shifted away from Sterling’s hand that was touching Deirdre’s hand. He felt so agitated in his heart that he wanted to hit someone. While he was suppressing his anger, he lit a cigarette and cracked an enraged smile. “I can see that you still don’t understand what’s going to happen to you, Sterling. Don’t even think about becoming a doctor no matter where you are if you get a permanent criminal record.”

Sterling’s eyes shook. “So what? I’ll be fine with not being a doctor. Could it be that I won’t be able to live anymore after losing the job?”

“Sterling…” Brendan sneered, yet Deirdre’s eyes were reddened with tears. She knew that being a doctor was Sterling’s life pursuit. It was his life and dream.

How could he possibly not care about that?

“No! Don’t! Sterling can’t get a permanent criminal record!” she cried profusely and shook her head frantically.

Brendan furrowed his eyebrows tightly and was completely indifferent.

Andre said, “If word of Sterling hitting someone without resolving the matter were to spread, Mr. Brighthall would be seen as easily bullied. We’re only asking you to clean up the floor. Are you so noble that you can’t lower yourself, Sterling?”

“You may call the police,” Sterling said in contempt. He was about to grab Deirdre’s hand and leave with her. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Brendan swept away the glass on the table and said, “Clean it up, Deirdre.”

He gave the order by saying, “You don’t want Sterling to be detained in a detention facility, right? Since Sterling won’t yield, you’ll take his place. Don’t get your hands all bloody like last time because you can’t see.”

Upon saying that, he looked at Sterling with a mocking gaze.

Deirdre got up in haste upon hearing that.

Sterling pulled her back. “Have you lost your mind, Deirdre!? I don’t need you to do this for me!”

“I will do it!” Deirdre inhaled a deep breath and held back her tears with a determined expression. “Sterling, you’ve already gotten in enough trouble because of me. I won’t be able to hold my head up for the rest of my life if you get a permanent criminal record because of this incident.”

“What are you talking about? It was me who wanted to hit him, so how is that your fault?”

Deirdre shook her head frantically. She did not have the courage to cry but

understood more than anybody else that Sterling’s act of punching Brendan was well within Brendan’s plan. It was her who caused Brendan to vent his anger at Sterling once again.

“It doesn’t matter.”

She hastily got down on her knees to pick up the mess, yet her eyes could not see, and her hands were moving toward the glass shards. Sterling could not bear to watch it anymore and stretched out his hands to stop Deirdre.

“That’s enough, Deirdre! I don’t need you to pick up my mess… Even if I have to pick up my mess, I’ll do it myself!”

Andre clapped. “You’re doing the right thing. You must handle your own matters as a manly man. If you don’t, Ms. McKinnon will have to do it for you. Why would you do

that to her?”

Sterling’s face turned pale. Deirdre was about to speak when Brendan suddenly stood up and pulled her into his arms forcefully. The intense anger filled his chest, and he said in a raging voice, “It’s time to put an end to the disgusting interaction between the both of you.”

Soon afterward, he shoved her away as if he was disgusted.

Sterling clenched his teeth, got down on his knees, and picked up the shards with his hands.

Andre exchanged a few looks with Brendan and walked toward Sterling, who was cleaning up step by step. Just as Sterling was picking up a glass shard, he raised his leg and stamped on Sterling’s hand.
