She pointed at Niamh arrogantly, and after saying that, she wanted to hug him.
However, as soon as she stretched out her hand, Kendrick walked around her indifferently and went toward Niamh instead.
“Cousin Kendrick?” Yvonne Yalemen stared at Kendrick who had not even spared her a glance.
Kendrick glanced at the coffee that was knocked over to the floor and looked at Niamh with concern. “Are you alright? Were you burned?”
Niamh curled her lips. “It wasn’t hot enough for that, but…” She paused, looking at the woman whose expression had slightly changed. “This lady bumped into me twice. My shoulder hurts a bit.”
“…” Yvonne probably did not expect that Niamh would say this to Kendrick. She looked embarrassed and hurriedly retorted, “Cousin Kendrick, I didn’t bump into her. She bumped into me! “
While saying this, she stared at Niamh angrily.
“I had wanted to spare your dignity in front of my cousin, but it seems that you really don’t want to work here anymore. Cousin Kendrick, you should fire her and teach her a lesson!”
Kendrick’s handsome face sank as annoyance spread to the corners of his eyes and brows.
“I’ll teach you a lesson instead if you still won’t shut your mouth.”
“…” Yvonne closed her mouth, dumbfounded. She then saw Kendrick holding Niamh’s hand,
“Cousin, you… What are you doing? Why are you holding this woman’s hand?”
“Do I still need to report to you just to hold my wife’s hand?” Yvonne was dumbfounded. “Wife? Didn’t that b*tch Niamh die long ago? When did you get married again? Why don’t I know of it? “
Niamh’s eyes were cold when she heard Yvonne’s description of herself.
It seemed that Mrs. Waldburg really did not hesitate to publicize her.
She was obviously a victim after being framed, but over the years, she had been burdened with all kinds of unbearable names.
These people did not know the truth but still opened their mouths and vilified her as a sl*t.
Really, it was hateful.
Kendrick glanced at Yvonne coldly before bringing Niamh into his office.
“Vixen!” Yvonne cursed in a low voice, feeling unconvinced. Then, she started following them.
Just as she was about to follow them through the office door, the glass door closed automatically.
Yvonne bumped her head on the glass and touched her forehead that was hurting. “Cousin Kendrick, open the door. I’m still outside.”
However, Kendrick ignored her and just kept talking to Niamh.
“I’m so angry!” Yvonne stamped her foot and turned away unwillingly.
Seeing that the uninvited guest had left, Niamh said casually, “Kendrick, is that really your cousin? When she was downstairs, she told me unhesitatingly that she’s one of the most important women in your life.”
When Kendrick heard these words, his eyes locked with Niamh’s. “The one and only important woman in my life is right in front of me now.”
“Really?” Niamh seemed to smile.
“She’s the daughter of my mother’s brother.” Kendrick explained.
Niamh nodded. That woman turned out to be his cousin.
However, did female cousins usually treat their male cousins in some kind of way?
It was not difficult to see that this Yvonne had a good impression of Kendrick.
Niamh pondered silently. She would not allow this person’s appearance to disrupt her plan.
“Kendrick, I plan to stay with you during this time to learn more about business management, can I?” Niamh took the initiative and said, “Although I founded Miss L.ady, my ability in this area is obviously insufficient, so I want to add value to myself.”
“As long as you want to, nothing is impossible.” Kendrick agreed simply.
Niamh smiled, leaning on his shoulder. “Kendrick, you’re so kind to me.”
She pretended to be happy and sweet, but this false happiness could not heal the wounds in her heart, let alone extinguish the spark of hatred.
Niamh followed Kendrick as his personal secretary that day.
Of course, her purpose was not to learn but the 70 percent worth of shares he held.
Kendrick received a call from Mrs. Waldburg the moment his regular afternoon meeting was over. “Kendrick, Yvonne is back. Do come back to the family home for the welcome reception. You must come. She’s your one and only cousin! “
Without giving Kendrick a chance to refuse, Mrs. Waldburg hung up the phone.
Kendrick did not want to waste this time socializing with meaningless people, but Niamh had offered to go with Kendrick.
At the moment, Kendrick was parking the car while Niamh had walked to the gate to wait for Kendrick there. It was then when she suddenly heard Mrs. Waldburg’s disdainful sneer from the house.
“Don’t think she’s like Niamh just because she looks like the scum. This woman is actually more difficult to deal with. I don’t know what has gotten into Kendrick, but he’s enamored and listens to that b*tch for everything!”
“I knew this woman was nothing good at first sight. Aunty, she deliberately ran into me twice today but complained to Cousin Kendrick that I bumped into her on purpose. How could Cousin Kendrick take a fancy to this vixen?” Yvonne opened her mouth to confuse the truth, her tone sounding contemptuous, “Aunty, this woman is not worthy of Cousin Kendrick. Let’s think of a way to separate them!”
“How do we split them? She’s already pregnant and Kendrick is so worried about her.”
“Pregnant?” Yvonne was taken aback. She was about to say something when her gaze changed all of a sudden. “Cousin Kendrick, you’re back!”
She stood up quickly, her smile appearing welcoming. Even her voice had become delicate, but when she saw Niamh who appeared next to Kendrick, the smile on Yvonne’s face became stiff. Then, she forced out a smile. “Sister-in-law, I’m so sorry for this morning. I hope you won’t take offense to today’s incident. I’ll walk carefully next time.”
She had changed her attitude probably because of Kendrick’s presence here.
Niamh smiled faintly. “It seems that you not only have to be careful when you walk but also when you speak. Otherwise, a no-good woman like me will hold a grudge.”
“…” Yvonne’s mouth twitched. She was extremely embarrassed.
She did not expect that the conversation she just had with Karen would be heard by Niamh.
Kendrick also understood the situation and glanced at Yvonne with a displeased look. He held Niamh’s shoulders and walked in.
F*ck!
Yvonne cussed secretly. She did not dare say the words aloud to Niamh’s face in front of Kendrick.
Mr. Waldburg was not there and Old Master Waldburg did not come downstairs as he was not feeling well.
Niamh could not help but worry. She had consistently heard that the old man was in poor health these days and was inevitably worried. She had wanted to take advantage of the night to meet Old Master Waldburg.
Back then during those unwelcoming days, she knew that only Old Master Waldburg had sincerely treated her well. She also sincerely hoped that Old Master Waldburg would be healthy and safe.
“I’m going to see Grandpa.” Niamh grabbed the food that had been prepared by the servant and was about to head upstairs when Yvonne took advantage of Kendrick having turned around to answer the phone to take the food from Niamh’s hand.
“Vera, let me go. Grandpa Waldburg has watched me grow up and loves me very much! He will be very happy if he knows that I’m here. If you go, Grandpa Waldburg might not even open the door for you.” Yvonne looked innocent, but her eyes clearly revealed provocation and arrogance.
Niamh did not argue and went upstairs with her to the door of Old Master Waldburg’s room.
Yvonne knocked hard on the door, her soft voice calling out, “Grandpa Waldburg, it’s Yvonne. Surely you remember me? I came to see you. Please open the door.”
There was a long silence after her voice sounded.
“Grandpa Waldburg must be asleep.” Yvonne turned around and raised her eyebrows confidently at Niamh. “Vera, let’s not disturb Grandpa Waldburg’s rest…”
“My granddaughter-in-law is here, is she?” Old Master Waldburg’s voice came from inside the room just then.
Yvonne was awkwardly surprised, then she saw the door open.
“Grandpa Waldburg! I’m—”
“Come in.”
“Okay!” Yvonne eagerly agreed, not forgetting to cast triumphant eyes at Niamh. However, as soon as she took a step in, Old Master Waldburg knocked her with a cane. “I didn’t let you in.”
“…” Yvonne was stunned and saw Old Master Waldburg looking at Niamh kindly.
“Come in, Grandpa has something to tell you.”
Niamh nodded and smiled, her arrogant gaze passing over Yvonne’s flushed and awkward face as she walked into the room.
Yvonne gritted her teeth, turned around, and cursed while feeling dissatisfied.
After Niamh entered, she wanted to know of Old Master Waldburg’s condition, but before she could even speak, she heard the old man’s long sigh. It was followed by, “Niamh, I know it’s you. My body is getting worse and worse recently, but I’m happy that I can see you come back safe and sound before I die. There’s one thing that I hope you will consider carefully.”
