As soon as she said this, she turned around angrily.
Niamh looked at Diana’s angry back, then got up and walked to the kitchen.
Kendrick looked at Niamh’s back with worry in his eyes before also getting up to follow.
As soon as Diana entered the kitchen, she slashed the beef on the cutting board with the kitchen knife while cursing viciously, “Niamh, you b*tch!
“Let’s see how much longer you can be pleased with yourself.
“I will kill you to avenge Brittany!”
“I couldn’t tell that you actually hate me this much.” Niamh’s voice drifted in.
Diana instantly stopped chopping the beef when she saw Niamh entering the kitchen. She waved the kitchen knife and pointed it toward Niamh, desire bursting from her eyes.
“Niamh, you b*tch! Vera Quinn? As if I’d believe that! You’re Niamh! You killed Miss Brittany yet you’re still free. Go to hell! Go to hell!”
Listening to Diana’s vicious abuse, Niamh raised a proud smile. She was not surprised at all. She folded her arms and made her posture more cold and arrogant.
“You have good eyes. That’s right, I’m not a Vera at all. I’m Niamh!”
“You have good eyes. That’s right, I’m not Vera at all. I’m Niamh!”
Kendrick, who was standing outside the kitchen, had heard what Niamh said then. A subtle but shattered light shone in his deep sea-like eyes. It gradually condensed into a noiseless tsunami that surged in his heart. However, he just stood there in silence.
Diana, on the other hand, blew up instantly when she heard this.
“You really are her! You’re really that b*tch Niamh!”
She swung the kitchen knife in her hand and pointed it in Niamh’s direction. Those angry eyes saw red as if they were about to swallow Niamh alive.
“I must avenge my Brit today!”
“Your Brit? That was Mrs. Montgomery’s Brittany. What does she have to do with you? I’ve never even touched a strand of Brittany’s hair. Even if I really did kill Brittany, it’s Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery who should be looking for me for revenge. What right do you, a servant, have to teach me a lesson?”
“Who says I don’t have the right? No one else in this world has the most right to teach you a lesson than me!”
Diana’s emotions seemed to have suddenly reached the highest point. It was obvious that Niamh’s words had pierced a vulnerable spot in her heart. She looked weird at the moment, her mental state seemingly becoming abnormal.
“Niamh, you cruel btch. How dare you say that I don’t have the right? I’m the most rightful person in this world to avenge Brit! Btch, you killed my precious daughter! I want you to pay for my daughter’s life today!”
Diana roared, waving a kitchen knife as she slashed toward Niamh.
In a split second, Eloise and Sean rushed forward selflessly at the same time to stop Diana. Kendrick quickly took Niamh into his arms, bringing her out of the danger zone whilst protecting her tightly in his arms.
Sean subdued Diana and threw the kitchen knife aside.
Diana half-knelt on the floor as she screamed and yelled at Niamh like she was crazy, “Niamh, you b*tch, I’m going to kill you! I must kill you to avenge my precious daughter!”
“You finally admit that Brit is your daughter!” Eloise’s words calmed Diana down instantly.
With her eyes wide, she slowly regained clarity in her consciousness.
Seeing these people standing in front of her, she shook her head desperately.
“Madam, you’ve misunderstood. How could Miss Brittany be my daughter?” Diana denied it. She glared at Niamh who was being fiercely protected in Kendrick’s arms. “It’s this evil lady who provoked me on purpose. I… I just want to avenge Miss Brittany!”
“You don’t have to lie to me anymore. I already know about it!” Eloise looked at Diana with disappointment and anger. Tears had welled in her eyes. “I trusted you so much, but you actually did such a thing…”
Diana pretended to be innocent and confused. “Ma-Madam, what did I do? Don’t tell me you don’t believe me and believe in that b*tch Niamh instead?”
As soon as Diana finished her quibble, Niamh’s chuckle was heard.
“You keep saying that you want to avenge Brittany, that you’re the person with the most right to teach Niamh a lesson, yet you don’t even dare to acknowledge your own daughter in the end,” Niamh said sarcastically as she left Kendrick’s embrace.
“That alone makes you unworthy of being a mother and even more unworthy of seeking justice for Brittany.”
Diana’s gaze became cold again upon hearing Niamh’s words.
“You, Niamh… You—”
“I’m not Niamh. I’m just cooperating with Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery to force you to tell the truth.”
“…” Diana looked at the exquisitely beautiful palm-sized face in front of her blankly as if she had just woken up. It turned out that everything before was nothing but a trap.
However, this woman looked exactly like Niamh. How could they be two different people?
“Are you still reluctant to tell the truth even at this point?” Eloise could not wait to know how her daughter was lost back then, or more accurately, how she was swapped.
Faced with Sean and Eloise’s questioning, Diana gritted her teeth and sealed her lips tightly.
Seeing that Diana was adamant about keeping quiet, Niamh’s beautiful eyes swirled as she took a step forward.
“How ridiculous. You had so eloquently said just now that you would avenge your own daughter, but now you dare not even acknowledge this daughter of yours.”
“…”
“Although Brittany had lived the life of a rich daughter, she was really pitiful for having a mother like you. Even till the day Brittany died, she had never really called her biological mother ‘Mom’. Even now when she’s already dead, she still can’t die in peace. And you’ll also regret this for life.”
“You shut up! Just shut up! Stop talking!” Diana lost control of her emotions again. She stood up and wanted to raise a hand at Niamh.
Kendrick coldly reached out and clamped down on her wrist, pushing her away.
Diana plopped to the ground.
“If you dare raise a hand at Vera again, I’ll smash Brittany’s grave!”
What?!
Diana trembled in horror. She crawled toward Kendrick and knelt at his feet, begging for mercy with a pale face.
“Mr. Waldburg, don’t! Please don’t destroy Brittany’s grave. I was wrong! I wouldn’t dare! I won’t dare to anymore!”
“If you really know you’re wrong, then tell us what happened back then. Otherwise, you’ll regret it.”
Diana suddenly froze when she heard the words. She was obviously hesitating.
However, looking at the inviolable authority in Kendrick’s deep eyes, she was really panicking.
She had heard Nevaeh say that Kendrick murdered Niamh’s child at that time. If so, what could he not do?
“You still won’t speak?” Kendrick asked coldly, impatience written all over his handsome face.
Diana shivered violently and looked up tremblingly at Eloise and Sean who were angry. She gritted her teeth and admitted at last.
“Yes, you guys have guessed it right. Brittany was indeed my biological daughter… Back then, Madam and I were pregnant at the same time, and we gave birth only two days apart. I was too envious of Mrs. Montgomery’s family background and living condition back then, so I swapped my own daughter with yours…”
After getting this answer, Eloise and Sean could not help but draw in a sharp breath, feeling a chill running all over their backs.
Niamh appeared to be calmly listening to Diana telling the truth, but there was already a storm in her heart.
‘As it turns out, my biological parents didn’t lose me because of their negligence. I was swapped.’
Eloise was tearful. She struggled to get her emotions together and her voice trembled immensely when she spoke, “Then, what about my own daughter? Where did you take her to?”
Diana suddenly lifted her head. “Don’t worry, Madam. I didn’t sell the young lady off, nor did I simply throw her away. I sent her to my hometown and brought her to my sister!”
