Chapter 643 It Was All An Act!
"Girl, you have no idea!" said Glenna, unaware of anything amiss.
She even laughed at Deirdre.
"Come on.You can’t seriously not know anything about that, right? Okay, so here’s the gossip.Mr.King and Brendan
are actually really close.They’re so close they won't mind lending underwear to one another if the other needs it.
"When Brendan got into this big trouble, Mr.King flew straight home from Germia without any warning that he
shocked his own family!"
Deirdre was stunned.
"When was that?"
Glenna made a production of counting on her fingers.
"About...Huh, I don’t remember the details, but it’s got to be a year ago or something.Mr.King was trying to
establish his footing in the Germian business scene, so he almost never returned."
As Glenna prattled on, the smile on Deirdre’s face died second by second.She interjected, "No, you must have
gotten all that wrong, Glenna."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe young woman in question blinked in confusion.She broke out a smile.
"Okay, why so serious all of a sudden? I really thought I must have said something really wrong for a sec.But I don’t
think I got it wrong.This stuff is practically branded into my head.I don’t think I can even make a mistake about
that!"
The corner of Deirdre’s lips twitched into a mockery of a smile as a frown shadowed her brows.
"Mr.King and Brendan had a falling - out a few years ago, didn't they?"
"There, this is proof your information is not as accurate as you think it is!"
Glenna chirped, beaming with her chin high.
"I’m surprised that you didn’t know the truth behind all that despite being Mr.King’s good friend."
Deirdre felt as though every mol of air in her lungs was being drawn away.
A void was forming from within.
"The truth?"
"Yes.It’s a hoax! The whole falling-out was a hoax."
Glenna took a gulp of water and leaned against the table.
"It was all a concerted act to dupe Gillian.See, if Cillian and his mom knew about Brendan helping Mr.King, they'd do
their best to sabotage the man’s business instead of letting him be free and flourishing in Germia."
"I'm not getting you," replied Deirdre, her face turning white.
She bit her lips stubbornly as her heart grew cold from anxiety.
"How could any of this possibly be an act?"
"Why is it that impossible?"
Glenna leaned toward Deirdre and pinched her cheeks.
Giggling, she continued.
"I have always known Mr.King has Oscar-worthy acting skills, but I didn’t know he’s good enough to fool even you!
Think about it. How did Mr.King and Brendan know each other? They were the kind of best friends nothing in the
world could separate.
How are they supposed to have a falling-out without, like, an apocalyptic fight?
"Like, if they had really decided never to talk to each other again, then why did Mr.King rush all the way back home
to the hospital the moment Brendan was hospitalized?"
Deirdre felt a chill running down her spine.
"What about Kyran?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Kyran?"
Glenna was perplexed.
"Uh, who?"
Deirdre lurched and grabbed onto her arm.
"You're Fionn’s childhood friend! How could he not tell you about who Kyran is! ?" she cried hotly.
"D-Dee, h-hey!"
Her reaction shocked Glenna, who was trying to calm her friend down.
"C-Chill, Dee! Just because I don’t know who this Kyran guy is doesn’t mean it’s anything serious! Maybe he’s
someone Mr.King met in Germia? Maybe they were just friends? Look, I don’t exactly have an encyclopedic
knowledge of Mr.King’s entire backstory and life..."
‘Just friends? Kyran and Declan have known each other since they were kids! That was no "just friends" at all!’
Deirdre’s mind was a mess.
It was then that the entrance door suddenly opened.
Declan strode in and, finding the air a little too tense, set the things in his arms down and joked, "What’s wrong?
Trying to decide who should be the cook today via a pro-wrestling match?"
