Chapter 161 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

The woman in their eyes was not that devastatingly beautiful, but their eyes were still drawn to her involuntarily.

The dress was beautiful, but when worn on Niamh’s body, it was just a foil.

Her figure was beautiful and graceful with an air of orchids. Her skin was like a porcelain vase that left a mild scent wherever she passed by. It was memorable.

Her smile was so casual, but it also looked really unique.

Some people could not help but whisper, “Isn’t that Vera Quinn?”

“The founder and designer queen of Miss L.ady.”

“She was a big star at the last business reception for Miss L.ady’s second anniversary.”

“She really looks like Young Master Waldburg’s ex-wife. How did Young Master Waldburg get together with her?”

“I heard early on that Young Master Waldburg frequently went to First Crystal Street to look for her. It seems that their relationship is unusual.”

“I also heard that Nevaeh was kidnapped last month and that the few men had done something to her. Is it because of this that Young Master Whatman no longer wants Nevaeh and is now with this Vera Quinn…”

“Tsk…”

Nevaeh was already clenching her fists with anger when she heard all these kinds of speculative words coming from behind her.

She felt as if she was about to explode, but considering the current occasion, she had to endure it.

However, Eloise could not bear it anymore and walked straight over. “Vera Quinn.”

Niamh stopped, looked at the angry Eloise, and smiled politely. “Mrs. Montgomery, is something the matter?”

“I’m fine, but you won’t be soon enough!” Eloise said, suddenly raising her hand to slap Niamh’s face fiercely.

With a slap, Niamh’s face was turned to the side. She looked a little lost.

She laughed sarcastically. How could the pain on her face compare to the pain spreading in her heart?

She had no precaution just because she was facing her own biological mother and so, she ended up receiving the slap.

When everyone saw this, Nevaeh smiled secretly.

Kendrick looked at Eloise, displeasure apparent in his sharp gaze. “Have you gone mad? How dare you hit my partner?”

“Your partner?” Eloise chuckled. “Kendrick, I don’t want to lose my reputation in front of so many people for Nevaeh’s sake, but I’ll definitely deal with this vixen!”

Eloise said as she raised her palm, wanting to hit Niamh again.

Kendrick’s gaze sank as he subconsciously stretched out his arm to protect Niamh in his arms. With his other hand, he grabbed Eloise’s wrist.

“Do you dare to hit her again?”

He flung Eloise away angrily.

Eloise lost her focus and fell backward. Nevaeh hurried to support her anxiously.

“Mom, Mom, are you okay?” she said worriedly, tears coming to her eyes as she said, “Mom, forget it. Don’t worry about me anymore. I’m the one who is no longer in a relationship with Kendrick, so just let him and Miss Vera be together. It’s enough that I get hurt. I don’t want you to get hurt too.”

Eloise had always been willing to do anything for her daughter, but she felt even more distressed when Nevaeh said this.

“Nevaeh, don’t worry. Your mother will never allow you to be bullied so simply! I want everyone here today to take a clear look at Young Master Waldburg who’s the richest and most powerful man in Glendale but truly an indifferent scumbag. And this one named Vera Quinn who’s also a despicable and shameless vixen!”

Gasp!

The guests were all shocked to hear Eloise’s words.

Hearing this, it seemed that Vera Quinn was meddling in between Kendrick and Nevaeh’s relationship, causing Nevaeh to be abandoned.

“Mom, don’t say it, don’t say it! It’s all my fault. It has nothing to do with Kendrick and Miss Vera. Let’s go!” Nevaeh burst into tears, her weak and weeping appearance looking pitiful.

Many people had begun to side with her. After all, they knew little about the history of the relationship between Nevaeh and Kendrick while Vera looked like a third party.

Most of the guests gradually felt distressed for Nevaeh and cast their contempt and disgust at Niamh.

Kendrick observed the change in the atmosphere around him. He looked back, looking at Niamh with concern.

“Are you all right?” He raised his hand and brushed her cheek lightly with his fingers.

Niamh smiled gracefully and calmly. “How could I not be fine just because of this slap? I’m not that weak.” She smiled, looking at Eloise and Nevaeh, and at the same time, feeling the others’ contemptuous gazes on her whole body.

“Mrs. Montgomery, everyone has to be responsible for what they do and say. You’ve hit me in front of so many people for no reason and you also called me as a vixen. Shouldn’t you give a reasonable explanation?”

She smiled lightly, her proud eyes sweeping across the hostile and questioning eyes around her while her tone changed. “The most annoying thing in my life has been being accused wrongly.”

She uttered the last few words very profoundly.

“Accused wrongly?” Eloise smiled contemptuously. “Have I wronged you? You are a vixen! And you’re cruel, mean, and shameless!”

“Mom, don’t speak anymore. Let’s go. We really can’t afford to provoke this young lady. I don’t want to suffer from a disaster like before. When I close my eyes now and think of it, they had each bullied me one by one. I’m so sad…” Nevaeh cried and stopped in her speech, but she was smiling in her heart while hoping that Eloise would continue to make things worse.

Eloise became even more distressed and hugged Nevaeh tightly, patting her back and comforting her.

Hearing Nevaeh’s words that were laced with implication, the people around them began to feel dissatisfied.

“It seems that the previous rumors about Nevaeh being bullied by several men by turns were true. If that’s the case, then she is really miserable.”

“Listen to Nevaeh’s implication. Did Vera ask someone to do it?”

“It must be. I didn’t expect this Vera to have the beauty of a goddess but a poisonous heart. She is really vicious!”

“Not to mention how Young Master Waldburg would abandon Nevaeh for this kind of woman.”

There was a lot of discussion going around. Nevaeh leaned in Eloise’s arms and cried while laughing secretly. She was going to ruin Vera here today! She was going to take her revenge!

However, at this moment, she felt a cold current around her.

“I’ve said not to mention the matter again. Why are you still bringing it up on this occasion?” Kendrick’s voice reached her ears coldly.

Nevaeh’s heart trembled and she was a little scared.

“Kendrick, are you blaming Nevaeh? How can you actually say this? Things have already reached this point and yet you still defend this vixen! If it wasn’t for the vixen’s plan, how could Nevaeh have been bullied? Nevaeh is obviously a victim. Not only do you not feel sorry for her and refuse to seek justice for her, but you’re still protecting this witch!”

Eloise glared at Kendrick angrily, disappointment and resentment clear in her gaze.

“What a waste of Nevaeh’s love for you! Kendrick, where is your conscience?”

Kendrick’s brows furrowed. His handsome face was already covered with frost and there was a stream of coldness shooting out from his eyes. “This matter has nothing to do with Vera, so don’t put any unnecessary charges on her head,” he spoke with a cold tone. Glancing at Nevaeh who was full of grievances and tears, he suppressed the anger in his heart.

“I’ll say it again, this matter ends here. No one is allowed to mention it again.”

“Kendrick, what are you doing? How can you treat Nevaeh like this? This vixen really instigated the matter, so how can I just let it go? I’ll call the police and have her arrested now! I’ll let her pay the tragic price!”

Mrs. Waldburg rushed forward, defending Nevaeh righteously. “Vera, you can’t just forget it!”

“Yes, you really can’t do that.”

After a long silence, Niamh opened her mouth. She met those scornful eyes and looked at Kendrick distressedly.

“Kendrick, I really don’t want so many people to be fooled by Nevaeh and I don’t want you to be accused of being a scumbag because of a woman like her, so I’ll have to violate my agreement with you and speak the truth of this matter.”
