Chapter 190 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

After he said those bone-chilling words, Jon and Rose’s pupils constricted. It felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured from above their heads. In an instant, their body temperatures dropped.

“Vera, let me take you home.” Kendrick’s voice changed. Even his eyes were gentle and warm like they had been caressed by a gentle spring breeze.

Niamh leaned against Kendrick’s chest in shock, her eyes looking lovely. “Kendrick, it’s so good to be able to see you now. I was so scared that I’d be murdered by them.”

“You… Niamh, you btch! Stop acting!” Rose roared angrily and emphasized once again. “Kendrick, she’s really that btch, Niamh! She admitted it herself just now!”

“Kendrick, I didn’t say that. They want to exonerate Nevaeh from her crimes, so they want to kill me because I’m the most important witness,” Niamh said softly. The horrifying sharpness that Jon and Rose saw in her clear and alluring eyes just now was gone. There was only the vulnerability of a weak woman.

“Niamh, y-you…” Rose was so mad that her face was now bright red. When she was about to say something, she saw Kendrick holding Niamh’s shoulder gently before turning around.

Niamh leaned against Kendrick’s chest and did not forget to turn around to look at them with victory in her eyes.

When she saw Jon and Rose almost exploding from anger, she smirked.

Niamh got into Kendrick’s car. In those three years of staying in F Country, Niamh got a driving license. However, she did not let Kendrick know about this. She also would not let him know that she was the one who drove here.

Before she arrived at this place, she sent a message telling him that Jon and Rose brought her here. She asked him to come quickly to save her.

Everything went smoothly and he came just in time.

Kendrick brought Niamh back to his place. She held onto his arm and leaned against his chest with a terrified look.

“Kendrick, I’m so afraid. Are they trying to use your ex-wife’s name to hurt me because I look like her?”

“I won’t let anyone hurt you.” Kendrick comforted in a soft voice. He lowered his gaze to look at the woman in his embrace.

“I feel much safer with you next to me.” Niamh looked at Felipe’s message discreetly as a small smile appeared on her face. There was a pleased look in her lively eyes. “Kendrick, I’m still a little scared. Can you stay with me for a little longer?”

“Of course.” Kendrick nodded before tightening his arms around her.

…

After cleaning up their wounds, Jon and Rose went to the detention center to visit Nevaeh.

When they saw Nevaeh, Jon and Rose told her everything that happened just now without missing out on a single detail.

They thought that Nevaeh would be surprised, but she already knew about this before them.

Nevaeh gritted her teeth as a murderous glint shone in her eyes. “That b*tch. She planned all of those traps to let me walk right into them!”

Rose touched her injured bottom, feeling perturbed. “I didn’t expect that b*tch to still be alive. She even went through a complete transformation. It’s like she’s a completely different person. The worst thing now is that Kendrick trusts her completely while you’re stuck in here, Nevaeh. What should we do now?”

When Nevaeh heard that, she clenched her fists. There was a trace of unwillingness in her eyes. “Kendrick trusts her because of her btch face!” she said before looking at Rose and Jon. She warned solemnly, saying, “Don’t let Kendrick know that the btch is Niamh. If not, we’ll all be finished.”

“…”

When Rose and Jon heard that, they looked at each other.

“Have you already told Kendrick that the b*tch is Niamh?”

“N-No! Plus, it seems like that b*tch doesn’t want Kendrick to know that she’s Niamh.” Rose denied it when she realized that she could not let Kendrick know about this.

After Nevaeh heard that, she let out a sigh of relief.

“There will be a hearing in two days. Eloise has already hired the best lawyer for me. I should be able to get out of here soon.”

Rose’s eyes lit up. “Really?”

“Of course.” Nevaeh snorted. “It seems that Niamh doesn’t plan to tell the Montgomeries about her real identity.”

Jon and Rose looked at each other in confusion. “Nevaeh, doesn’t that b*tch already know that she’s Eloise’s daughter? Since she has already exposed herself to us, then why won’t she acknowledge that Eloise and Sean are her parents?”

“If you’re in her shoes, would you still want to go back to your parents after you’ve been attacked, yelled at, and ignored by them?” Nevaeh rolled her eyes.

“I think she resents Sean and Eloise.”

Jon and Rose felt that it made sense after Nevaeh’s analysis.

At this moment, the door of the conjugal room opened and two officers walked in.

Jon and Rose thought their time was up, but they did not expect the two officers to walk over and handcuff them.

The three of them were startled. “Officer, w-why are you arresting us?”

“Mr. Waldburg was just here to make a report. You two are involved in an attempted murder.”

“…”

“…”

Rose and Jon were stunned for a few seconds. Then, they remembered what had happened just now.

“Officer, we didn’t! We’ve been wrongfully accused!”

“Nevaeh, you have to ask Eloise to save us! Nevaeh!”

Nevaeh watched as Rose and Jon were taken away by the officers. In the next second, she was brought away by the officer as well.

She could not imagine how deep Kendrick’s feelings for Niamh were. He could protect Vera even without knowing that she was Niamh and it was all because of her face.

She was so jealous!

“Niamh!” She spat out her name through gritted teeth. She wanted so badly to crush Niamh into dust.

After knowing that Jon and Rose had been locked up, Niamh felt pleased.

She went to make a statement at the station, proving that Jon and Rose did have the intention to harm her. After signing her name, Niamh was about to leave when she ran into Eloise at the entrance.

She remembered that she had also run into her at the entrance last time. However, Eloise was hostile with her back then. She still looked elegant and noble, yet she did not look too well. There were even dark circles under her eyes.

Niamh turned around silently to prevent any unnecessary conflict. However, the moment she turned around, she heard Eloise calling out to her in a gentle and friendly tone that she had never heard before. “Miss Vera.”

Niamh felt her heart tremble. She could not believe that Eloise would call out to her in such a soft tone.

She stopped in her tracks and turned around. She smiled nonchalantly. “Can I help you, Mrs. Montgomery?”

Eloise walked in front of Niamh slowly, her smile looking amiable. “I wonder if I could have the honor of inviting you to have dinner at my place tonight?”

Niamh frowned. “Am I hearing things? Are you inviting me for a meal at your place, Mrs. Montgomery?”

‘Does she know something?’

‘Is that why she’s inviting me to her home in such a friendly manner?’

However, Niamh immediately saw a hint of reluctance in Eloise’s eyes.

Niamh understood now. Eloise was only doing this for Nevaeh.

Heh.

How pathetic.

‘My birth mother is willing to give a half-hearted invitation to a woman she despises for the sake of a heartless she-devil.

“Miss Vera, I hope you can forgive me for what I’ve done in the past. I’m sincerely inviting you to be a guest in my home.” Eloise had a smile on her face while waiting for Niamh’s reply.

Niamh felt that it was too ironic. She wanted to reject her.

However, she could not do it.

The person in front of her was her mother who brought her into this world—despite her hatred toward her or how she could not even sense the existence of her biological daughter.

“Alright,” answered Niamh. When she saw an unrestrained smile on Eloise’s face, she felt emptiness and ridiculousness in her heart.

After Niamh left, Eloise walked into the station. Then, she went to visit Nevaeh in the detention center.

Niamh started to feel anxious when she heard that Eloise had invited Niamh to dinner at the house.

She did not know what Niamh was planning. Niamh was not the halfwit she used to be. It was difficult to predict what she was thinking about.

However, Nevaeh made up her mind to complain about Niamh first no matter what. “Mom, I know you’re doing this for me, but I’d rather rot in jail than see you and Dad curry favors with Vera.”

Nevaeh grabbed Eloise’s hand in devastation, her eyes filled with tears.

“That woman is so scary. Mom, you and Dad have to stay away from her. If not, she’ll harm you as well!”

Eloise felt at ease when she heard those ‘warmhearted’ reminders.

She caressed Nevaeh’s hair, feeling even more heartbroken when she saw the haggardness and exhaustion on Nevaeh’s face.

“Nevaeh, don’t worry. Mom and Dad know what to do. We’ll definitely get you out of here. It doesn’t matter if we lose everything.”

“Mom…”

Nevaeh cried while feeling touched. However, she still shook her head violently.

“I know you guys are doing this for me, but Vera isn’t a kind person. She caused me to be wrongfully imprisoned and even had my adoptive parents arrested. She hinted multiple times that I’m not your real biological daughter as well. She’ll definitely incite disharmony between our relationship when she gets to the house tonight…”

“Nevaeh, don’t worry. I believe that you’re my biological daughter. The birthmark and DNA report all proved that you’re mine. I won’t be fooled by that Vera Quinn.”

When Nevaeh got that ensuring answer, she secretly let out a sigh of relief.

She had been waiting for Eloise to say this!

…

Despite being unwilling, Eloise still ordered the maids to prepare a whole table of food to serve Niamh.
