Chapter 222 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

Niamh smiled happily when she saw Karen avoiding her.

“If I remember correctly, you said that everyone would be happy if I died. However, from the looks of it now, it seems pretty difficult for you to be happy now.”

“…” Karen was speechless. She looked more and more defeated.

Yvonne looked at Karen behind her, then yelled at Niamh with an arrogant look on her face, “So you’re Kendrick’s dead ex-wife Niamh. If you’re not dead, why did you pretend to be dead to scare my aunt? I’m warning you, if you dare to be so unrestrained, I’ll—”

“This is between me and them. It’s best if you mind your own business.” Niamh interrupted domineeringly with a cold gaze. “Don’t say that I didn’t warn you. If you don’t want to get burnt, you’d better step aside.”

“…” Yvonne wanted to stand up for Karen, but she was stunned when she saw Niamh’s imposing manner.

When she saw Niamh walking over, Yvonne shut up in fear and stepped aside.

With nothing in front of her, Karen lifted her head to look at Niamh while shaking furiously.

“M-Niamh, what do you want? What are you trying to do?”

“What do I want? Shouldn’t I be the one asking you this question?” Niamh asked. The smile on her face was filled with flames of revenge. “I searched in my heart and I can say that I’ve never done anything that has harmed the Waldburg family. Nevaeh was the one behind my marriage to Kendrick. However, how did you people treat me? You were convinced that I climbed into Kendrick’s bed shamelessly. When you were unhappy, you let out your anger on me. You believed everything Nevaeh said! You never once treated me like I was human!

“I was your daughter-in-law but you never recognized me. You even said that I’m the Waldburgs’ maid. You kept forcing me, the lawfully wedded wife, to divorce Kendrick so that Nevaeh could get my position. What did I owe you? Why did I have to endure all the insults and torture you gave me?

“I was innocent when I was married into this family. However, Nevaeh forced the title of a fickle woman on me. When she was slandering me and claiming that I was having an affair with another man, all of you chose to believe her. You supported her and yelled profanities at me. I was battered and bruised. You even believed that I was the one who worked with that thug, Tanner, to kidnap Jackson. Did I deserve to get bullied by you all just because I was poor and had a petty status?”

Niamh complained. Karen lowered her head in fear. She turned her face and stammered, “T-That’s between you and Nevaeh. She’s the one who harmed you. What does it have to do with me? If you want revenge, you should go to her!”

“Nothing to do with you?” Niamh asked with a laugh. “Did you forget how you had slapped me again and again, calling me a b*tch? You might have forgotten about it, but I never will!”

“…”

“I came back for dinner that day to act in concert with Kendrick. I was very sick and in a lot of pain. However, you believed Nevaeh’s instigations and forced me to eat your curry. I threw up that day, but I didn’t do it on purpose. I was in severe pain! You were so sure that I was purposely going against you but you didn’t see that I was vomiting blood!”

“…” Karen’s breath hitched. She did not dare to say another word.

She really did not know that Niamh had vomited blood that time.

She thought that Niamh was just going against her.

After she finished talking, there was an icy breeze in the room.

Niamh took a deep breath. There was a small and calm smile on her stunning face. “I really liked Kendrick back then, but I kept the fondness I had for him in my heart. I never even fantasized about marrying him, but God decided to play that joke on me.”

She smirked in self-mockery.

“I thought I was the luckiest woman on earth. However, after I married him, I realized that I was the unluckiest woman on earth.”

“…”

Niamh put on her coat nonchalantly as she looked at Karen’s complicated expression. She then took her bag and lifted her spirited eyes.

“My dear mother-in-law, if you had gone just a little easier on me, this would not have happened. I’ll give all of you a huge gift to repay for what you’ve done to me back then.” Niamh smiled before she stopped. “Remember to enjoy it.”

“…”

Niamh laughed as she looked at Karen who was stuck in a daze. Then, she turned around elegantly.

However, the moment she turned around and saw the person who was standing behind her, she was taken aback.

Before this, Niamh already knew how to face everyone.

However, when she looked at the white-haired Old Master Waldburg in front of her, she felt an ache in her heart. However, she still looked into his eyes calmly.

“Grandpa, you’re right. I am Niamh.”

She finally admitted this to the old master. She could feel tears stinging the corners of her eyes.

“Grandpa, thank you for trusting and supporting me in all those years. You were the only person who’s good to me in this family. I will remember this forever.”

Old Master Waldburg walked in front of Niamh slowly with the support of his cane. His aged and murky eyes looked at her dotingly and understandingly.

“Child, you’re finally admitting it. I’m happy.”

Looking at the old master’s loving gaze, Niamh felt apologetic all of a sudden. “I’m sorry, Grandpa. I’m afraid that I’m going to disappoint you.”

“No. I’m happy to see the new you.” The old master lifted his hand and grabbed Niamh’s hand. His palm was cold, but he was still trying to warm Niamh up. “Kendrick wronged you. Wealth and power are nothing in front of human life. However, thank God you’re still alive.”

“Grandpa…”

“I will always support you just like how I used to.”

The old master’s answer touched Niamh.

At this moment, Niamh received Felipe’s call. She did not stay. She left after she bid farewell to the old master.

Karen went limp after Niamh left. She collapsed on the chair lifelessly and was petrified. “I didn’t expect her to be alive. I didn’t expect… She used a fake identity to get close to us. She must be here for revenge! She must have wanted retaliation against me!” Karen muttered. She called Kendrick immediately but could not get to him no matter how many times she called.

Since she did not know what Niamh’s next move would be, she was as frantic as a cat on hot bricks.

“No! I can’t just sit around and do nothing!”

“What else do you want to do?” Old Master Waldburg frowned. His white eyebrows were knitted together as he looked at Karen in dissatisfaction.

“Dad! You heard her. She’s Niamh Delgado! She’s not dead! This woman must have a lot of dissatisfaction and hatred in her heart. She must be trying to get back at the Waldburgs now that she has made a comeback!

“Back then, she was just a wretched country bumpkin with no money or reputation, but now, not only does she have her own business, but she has also made a name and reputation for herself. Plus, she’s also Miss Montgomery! She’s not as easy to defeat as before now!”

“So, you’re allowed to bully Niamh however you wanted when she had no money or reputation, but now that she’s more powerful, you’re finally scared of her? Why don’t you think about what you did to her in the past? Are you even an eligible mother-in-law?”

“Dad, I…”

“I told you Nevaeh was not a good person and you didn’t want to believe me. You kept trying to get Niamh to divorce Kendrick. Couldn’t you tell that your son has been in love with Niamh all along?”

“W-What?” When Karen finally knew the truth, she was tongue-tied.

Kendrick liked Niamh?

What kind of fantasy was that?

After Niamh left Waldburg Manor, she drove Kendrick’s car to a high-end restaurant.

The french window was able to display the night view of the bustling city. Everything looked peaceful and great.

Niamh lifted her wine glass. The cold liquid glided into her throat as the sweetness of the wine invaded her mouth. She could vaguely taste a hint of bitterness.

“Aren’t you happy?”

Niamh shook her head. “I’m very happy. However, I just feel like I’ve wronged Grandpa.”

She finished talking and saw Felipe’s eyes darkening.

She did not forget the past that Felipe told her. He did not like the Waldburgs, especially the old master.

When Niamh tried to break the silence, her phone rang.

When she saw the name on the caller ID, she was stunned.

It was Eloise.

Did Karen tell Eloise about her true identity?

Perhaps not.

Karen would not cause more trouble for herself at this time.

As Niamh pondered, she picked up the phone.

“Miss Vera, this is Eloise Montgomery. I was wondering if you can come over to my place now. Jack can’t sleep and he said he wants to see you.”
