Chapter 191 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

At dusk, Kendrick drove Niamh to the front door of Montgomery Manor.

The housekeeper, Diana, was eyeing Niamh from the dark. Her eyes were filled with hostility.

‘You b*tch.

‘You killed my Brit.

‘I want you to go accompany Brit tonight!’

“Kendrick, I’ll go in now. I’ll see you later.” Niamh waved at Kendrick.

The man looked at her warmly and nodded. “I’ll come to pick you up.”

“Okay.”

Niamh smiled softly. After she watched Kendrick’s car leaving, she turned around and walked in.

This was not the first time she came to Montgomery Manor, but it felt different this time.

The previous time, she came here all dressed up to outshine Nevaeh. However, she was dressed casually today.

She strode into the house, and some of the maids were astonished when they saw her.

Even though she was dressed casually and did not have any makeup on, she still looked elegant and poised.

They knew she was Miss L.ady’s designer, Vera Quinn. She was also the woman who was recently entangled with Miss Montgomery.

They did not expect Vera to be the important guest Eloise told them about. The maids were curious.

She was Miss Montgomery’s rival, so why was she the important guest?

After Niamh walked in, she saw Eloise and Sean.

They were dressed casually as well. However, their clothes and jewelry were all expensive branded goods.

Eloise smiled and greeted her, saying, “Please sit, Miss Vera.”

“Thanks.” Niamh sat down indifferently. She looked at the delicious food in front of her, and yet, she had no appetite.

Sean opened a bottle of wine that cost six digits and poured it for Niamh.

“I’m happy to see you tonight, Miss Quinn. Please forgive us for the misunderstanding and wrongdoings we’ve done in the past.”

Forgive.

Niamh smiled and lifted the wine glass.

Forgive was such an easy word to say, but it was even more difficult to do than flying.

When Eloise saw that Niamh was not talking, she looked at Sean nervously.

Sean patted Eloise’s hand to comfort her. Then, he said, “I know Miss Quinn has a lot of artistic attainments when it comes to jewelry designing. My wife, Ellie, is also well researched in this field. Coincidentally, our company is hosting a big jewelry project and we’re looking for a professional as our guide. If you’re willing, Miss Quinn, you can name your price.”

Indeed, they were trying to tempt her with benefits. At the end of the day, this was all for Nevaeh.

Niamh smiled. “Money isn’t that important to me. Plus, I’ll marry Kendrick soon, so reputation will be readily available for me as well.”

“…” Sean and Eloise were speechless.

Niamh placed her wine glass down and walked into the living room.

Eloise and Sean followed her. “Miss Vera, do you want to tour around the house?”

Niamh nodded. “This place is so beautiful. When I was watching television as a kid, I would see the children on television living in such luxurious and beautiful houses, so I would also fantasize about living in such houses and having parents who love me. It must be such a spectacular feeling.”

Eloise felt something tugging at her heartstrings when she saw the melancholy in Niamh’s face.

She walked next to Niamh. “I remember you mentioning about your parents before, Miss Vera. I think they’re—”

“They lost me,” Niamh continued profoundly, “Just like how you lost your flesh and blood back then. My absent-minded parents lost me the same way.”

“…”

After Eloise and Sean heard that, their heartbeats accelerated.

When they saw Niamh’s huge eyes that were filled with complicated emotions, they started to feel uneasy for no reason.

“I didn’t expect you to have such a similar experience with my daughter,” Eloise lamented, “However, thank God me and my husband found our precious baby who had been missing for so many years.” As she spoke, a happy smile appeared on her face.

Niamh knew Eloise was talking about Nevaeh.

She felt a pang of pain in her heart. An unknown ache was taking over her heart.

“Miss Vera has both reputation and money now, so I think you’ll have a lot of channels to find someone. Have you not found your birth parents after so many years?”

When Niamh heard Eloise’s question, she came back to her senses and looked into her smiling eyes. “I’ve found them.”

When Sean and Eloise heard Niamh’s answer, for some reason, their hearts skipped a beat. The two of them asked at the same time, “You’ve found your parents?”

Niamh nodded and smiled. “Yeah, I’ve found my birth parents.”

When Eloise got such an affirmative answer, she smiled.

At this moment, her smile came from the bottom of her heart.

“That’s good. It’s good that you found them. You’ll be able to reunite with your family if that’s the case.”

“Reunite with them?” Niamh rolled those words off her mouth and scoffed ironically. “I won’t even have the chance to reunite with them.”

Eloise frowned. “Why?”

“They can’t recognize me even when I’m standing right in front of them. They don’t want to acknowledge me either.”

Niamh looked straight at Eloise and Sean. The two of them were visibly taken aback.

Niamh smiled and broke the eerie atmosphere. “Maybe I’m just unfortunate. My parents lost me when I was small, then I was abandoned by my boyfriend after I grew up. Thankfully when I was at my lowest, I met an exceptional man who’s one in a million.”

Sean and Eloise looked at each other. They knew Niamh was talking about Kendrick.

The room plummeted into silence again. At this moment, the housekeeper, Diana, walked out with three bowls of soup.

“Madam, Sir, Miss Quinn, please have some soup.”

Eloise introduced quickly, saying, “Miss Vera, this is Diana’s famous clam chowder. It’s delicious and good for you. Have a taste.”

“Alright.” Niamh quickly turned around and went back to her seat.

Even though she knew Eloise and Sean were just hosting her because of Nevaeh, it was such a rare reunion for the three of them.

Despite it being a hypocritical show of affection, it was still rare for her.

She picked up the spoon. When she was about to take a sip, her sharp sense of smell told her that there was something wrong with the chowder.

When Eloise saw Niamh putting down her spoon, she asked curiously, “Miss Vera, why aren’t you drinking it? Is it not to your liking?”

“I’m afraid you have to ask Diana about this,” Niamh said as she looked at the housekeeper who was standing at one side.

When the housekeeper’s name was mentioned, her expression changed.

Eloise and Sean were still puzzled when the housekeeper took out a fruit knife from behind her back and was about to stab Niamh with it.

Eloise and Sean were shocked when they saw the sharp knife approaching Niamh. They ran in front of Niamh to stop Diana.

“Diana, what are you doing?” Eloise stood in front of Niamh. “Miss Vera has no beef with you. Why do you want to kill her with a knife? Are you crazy?”

“Miss Vera? She’s Niamh Delgado! She killed Miss Brittany and changed her name so she could get away with her crimes! I must avenge Miss Brittany today!”

The housekeeper was extremely hostile, and her eyes were filled with hatred. She wanted so badly to chop Niamh into a million pieces.

Niamh finally understood. The woman who she saw hiding at the corner crying heavily while looking at Brittany’s photo was the housekeeper.

“She’s not Niamh! Niamh died a long time ago!” Eloise emphasized. “Put the knife down.”

“She is Niamh!” The housekeeper insisted. She waved the fruit knife again. “Madam, please get out of the way. Don’t you want me to kill this cold-blooded woman to avenge Miss Brittany?” the housekeeper said while charging toward Niamh and waving the fruit knife.

Niamh knew she could dodge from her safely. However, she did not expect Eloise and Sean to stand in front of her.

This surprised her.

Despite Sean and Eloise not knowing what was going on, at this moment, Niamh clearly knew that these two were the closest people to her.

She had never experienced protection from her parents. However, at this moment, she felt it.

“Ah!”

Clang!

“Ellie!”

While Niamh was spacing out, she heard Sean screaming frantically.

She lifted her gaze and saw blood pouring out from the back of Eloise’s arm.

“Madam! Madam, I didn’t mean to do that. I didn’t want to hurt you!” The housekeeper apologized hurriedly.

Sean carried Eloise to the garage quickly.

Niamh followed after them without hesitating.

Sean rushed to start the car while Niamh was looking after Eloise in the backseat. Blood poured from Eloise’s wound. Niamh felt as if her heart had been sliced open when she saw the long and deep wound on Eloise’s arm.

She removed her coat and wrapped it around Eloise’s wound.
