Chapter 220 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

When she found out that Niamh was the Montgomeries’ daughter, she was completely stunned.

Niamh was a feral child who was brought up by a mentally ill old man but she turned out to be the young lady from the influential Montgomery family. She refused to accept this.

Back then, she even curried flavor with Eloise. She said it would be amazing if they could be in-laws. In the end, Niamh’s true identity came back and slapped her across the face.

The room plunged into silence as Kendrick’s gaze softened. “Vera, let’s go back.”

Niamh released her tightly clenched fists as she glared at Kendrick’s mother with an icy gaze that was filled with flames of anger.

When Kendrick’s mother saw Kendrick holding Niamh’s hand considerately, she started muttering to herself angrily, “Hmph, so what if she was the Montgomeries’ daughter? I’m just telling the truth. That b*tch really almost disfigured Jack and she must have been involved in Brittany Montgomery’s death too!”

Niamh stopped in her tracks. She turned her face, her piercing gaze landing on Kendrick’s mother’s face. “You didn’t see it with your own eyes or have any evidence, but you’re accusing someone of a crime. If the truth came out one day proving that Niamh was innocent, will you apologize? You won’t. You’ll just bully the weak and kneel to the strong.”

“…” Kendrick’s mother looked at Niamh’s mocking gaze with awkwardness on her face.

Of course, she was unconvinced and unsatisfied. However, she did not dare to say anything when she saw how much Kendrick protected Niamh. She could only endure her anger.

Niamh was right. She would only bully the weak and kneel to the strong. She would also take unfair advantage of the weak and fear the strong.

This time, she knew she was faced with a rival.

Vera was indeed something else. Niamh was not able to compare to her.

…

On the way home, the inside of the car was oddly quiet.

Niamh looked out of the window and saw the changing scenery outside. Her gaze looked desolate.

She would always remember this road. She remembered how he had choked her so cruelly just to protect Nevaeh. He also warned her and was suspicious of her.

Despite her using her life to plead for an ounce of trust from him, in the end, she was still kicked out of the car in disdain.

On that day, it had been very windy and was also raining cats and dogs.

She endured the pain in her body and collapsed to the icy ground.

If it was not for Felipe, she might have gotten run over by a car and would have died in the middle of the road. Perhaps, she would have died from pain.

‘Heh.

‘In my memories, you’ve only ever brought me pain.’

‘However, now you’re ridiculously exploiting my death and saying that you love me?

‘Kendrick, you’re pathetic.’

“I need to go to F Country three hours later. I’ll be gone for about two days.” The man’s deep voice sounded.

F Country?

Niamh’s eyes twinkled. Then, she replied flatly, “Okay.”

When Kendrick heard her emotionless answer, he lifted his eyes and saw Niamh’s cold expression from the rearview mirror.

After the car stopped, Niamh got out of the car and went into the house herself. When she wanted to go see Jackson, she remembered that Eloise had picked him up this morning.

Although Jackson was not their biological grandson, he was still Eloise and Sean’s grandson in their hearts. They genuinely loved this child as well.

Niamh went back to her room and grabbed her pajamas. She was about to go take a shower.

However, when she turned around, she saw Kendrick looking at her with a complicated look in his eyes.

“What’s wrong? Are you going to berate me for talking to your mother that way, or are you agreeing that your ex-wife Niamh was a despicable b*tch so I have no right to defend her?”

She smiled sarcastically in a nonchalant manner. She then walked in front of the silent man.

“If you want to lecture me, you can save it. I won’t change my attitude.”

However, the moment she finished talking, Kendrick lifted his hand and placed it behind her head gently.

He bent down and closed his eyes. Then, his thin lips were pressed against hers as he kissed her deeply.

Niamh was caught off guard. She did not expect that Kendrick would be quiet and not mad at her, but instead, he would just kiss her.

She was taken aback for a few seconds. When she came back to her senses, Kendrick had already detached himself from her.

He looked straight at her, his eyes filled with gentleness and tender sentiments.

“No matter what you say or do, I won’t blame you.”

After Kendrick said that, he spread out his arms and pulled Niamh into a hug.

His force was gentle yet passionate. It was as if he would hurt her if he held her too tightly or too gently.

“Wait for me to come back. I’ll take care of everything. Trust me.”

His gentle voice lingered in her ear.

Niamh sighed deeply and did not move. She allowed Kendrick to hold her, letting the two of them get entangled with each other.

Suddenly, she smiled.

‘Kendrick, this will be our last embrace.

‘When you come back from F Country, Vera Quinn will disappear from the face of the earth.

‘I won’t smile at you anymore. I won’t even give you a fake smile.’

Three hours later, Kendrick boarded the plane to F Country.

Large white birds soared in the deep blue sky. They left undetectable traces in the night sky.

The next day, Niamh attended the meeting as the president’s wife. However, before she could sit down, Yvonne and Kendrick’s mother, Karen, barged into the meeting room aggressively before cornering her to one side.

“Vera, don’t think that you’re the person with the most power in this company just because my son isn’t here.”

Karen glared at Niamh. Then, she walked to Kendrick’s usual seat in the room and sat down in front of all of the heads of departments. “Everyone, the affairs of the company will be handled by me and Miss Yvonne Yaleman who’s beside me during the absence of my son. If there are any documents to sign or examine, you should pass all of them to me.”

After Karen finished barking her orders in an imposing manner, the entire room went quiet. They were all staring blankly at her and Yvonne.

Yvonne was beaming as she loved the feeling of being in the center of attention.

Niamh burst out laughing when she saw the aunt and niece duo in front of her. “You’re taking over? What are you going to be responsible for? Being the clown?”

Karen’s face fell. “Vera, who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that? You’re just Kendrick’s wife, so what qualifications do you have to manage Waldburg Corporation?”

She said before looking at Yvonne, “Yvonne, from this day on, you’ll sit here. When Kendrick comes back, I’ll tell him that you’re his secretary now.”

Yvonne was elated after she heard that. “Thank you, Aunt Karen!” She smiled and sat down on Niamh’s seat.

“What are you still doing here? Get out! Go manage your Miss L.ady. You have no business being in Waldburg Corporation.” Karen chased Niamh away. Then, she sat upright and pretentiously said, “Aren’t we going to have a meeting? Let’s start.”

The heads of departments looked at each other, none of them listening to Karen’s orders.

Niamh chuckled softly and watched Karen’s performance. Then, she tossed her notebook on the table.

The heads of departments inhaled sharply after the notebook landed on the table with a loud thud. They saw an imposing aura oozing off Niamh.

“What’s this? My dear mother-in-law is trying to display power by taking office when my husband isn’t around, huh?”

Niamh lifted her eyebrow and watched as Karen’s expression gradually changed.

“Meeting? Do you know what meeting this is for? Do you know the shipping date to South America, the contract with RS, and the project in Cielo Aqua Bay? I think you don’t even know what the client’s RQR is and you’re boasting about taking charge? My dear mother-in-law, you’re here for comedic relief indeed.”

“…” Karen was speechless after Niamh said that. She looked like she was constipated as her face was bright red.
