Chapter 727 Mr. Cruz Didn't Hurt You, Right?
Eilis felt a bit embarrassed. Since it was her fault, she forgave Charlene for her rude comments and smiled. “I’m
very sorry about that, girl. You were standing behind me, so I didn't see you."
'You didn't see me? Are you saying that I purposely walked into your elbow myself and allowed you to hit me? How
is there any possibility that you didn’t see me?" Charlene pressed on. She pointed at a shopkeeper and said, "Hurry
up and get this old thing out of this salon! Can’t you smell her body odor? I’m sure that her house must be a
garbage dump. I can’t believe that you guys are willing to serve her. Are you not worried that she might spread the
virus and bacteria on her body to others?"
Eilis's face turned pale when she heard Charlene's harsh comment about her.
She had made the clothes on her body all by herself. Even though they were a bit worn out, she would take them

"What are you still waiting for?" Charlene sneered coldly. "Hurry up and get out of here."
Before Eilis could say anything, a calm female voice rang out from a few feet away from them. 'There are even
bacteria in the air, let alone on human bodies. Miss McKinney, if you feel that a place full of bacteria is no place for
you, I suggest you go to a volcano. After all, no bacteria can survive in such a hot place."
Charlene was stunned when she heard the voice. She raised her head, and when she saw Deirdre, a scornful smile
appeared on her face. "How have you been. Miss McKinnon?"
Tobey frowned. "Deirdre, do you know her?"
"Of course I know her. Not only that, but we're also old friends." Charlene chuckled. "Why didn't you tell me that
she's your friend, Miss McKinnon? If you'd told me earlier, I would certainly not have gotten angry at her. After all,
birds of a feather flock together. It’s normal for this older woman to do such things if she’s your friend."
Anyone with ears would be able to discern what Charlene was implying. Tobey could not stand her anymore, but
just when he took a step forward, Deirdre stopped him and said calmly, "I admire you for having the courage to
remain unfazed by people like us. Even though you came out of jail, you can still hold your head high and act as if
you're above everyone else. Oh yeah, I heard that they only serve cold bread and soup in that kind of place. Is that
right? In that case, you must've suffered a lot."
Without waiting for Charlene to say anything, Deirdre added, "Ah, I get it now. No wonder you're going on a
revenge spending spree and demeaning someone you don't know to make yourself look better."
Charlene's expression changed. She could sense that everyone was looking at her differently.
The last thing she wanted other people to know was that she had gone to jail before. However, Deirdre had to go as
far as to expose this in front of everyone.
She clenched her fists so tightly that her fingers stabbed into her palm. She gritted her teeth and said, "At least it's
more comfortable than staying in jail!"

Deirdre chuckled lightly. "Miss McKinney, it isn't something that you should be proud of, so you better keep it to
yourself. After all, you want to join people in polite company, don’t you?"
Charlene calmed herself down and stared daggers at Deirdre.
She did not know when it happened, but the moment she realized it, she hated Deirdre to the bone. If it weren't for
her superior luck, she wouldn't have arrived at the fire first and saved Brendan. She hated her for her looks, her
temperament, and her calm composure. It seemed to her that Deirdre was better than her in every possible way.
Even now, even after she had fallen from grace, she still had a sharp tongue.
However, she thought of something and a smile crossed her face. 'Yeah, you're right. I don't like to compare myself
with other people since I've always been perfect in Brendan's eyes. He loves me so much that he's willing to..."
She paused midway through her sentence and said with a smile on her lips, "Mr. Cruz didn't hurt you, right?"
For a moment, Deirdre’s pupils constricted. She was overwhelmed by a torrent of mixed emotions. She bit her lip
tightly as she was assaulted by wave after wave of pain.
The boisterous laugh of the man, the way he had treated her like an object and a bargaining chip... Everything that
had happened that night made her feel so sick that she refused to recall it.
