Chapter 223 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

When Niamh knew that it was because of this, she agreed. “I’ll go over in a bit.”

“That’s great.” Eloise’s voice sounded joyful.

Perhaps, seeing her face right now would be something that would make her and her husband happy.

After hanging up the phone, Niamh ate something and left.

Felipe sat in his seat, his long fingers holding his wine glass. He swirled the liquid in his glass and looked straight ahead.

“Vera, he’s not as benevolent and kind as you think. He’s not worthy of your mercy.”

…

About 20 minutes later, Niamh arrived at Montgomery Manor.

Eloise and Sean welcomed her with open arms when they saw her.

The moment Jackson saw Niamh, his childish and handsome face blossomed into a pure and happy smile.

Niamh sang a lullaby to coax Jackson into slumber. The little guy was enjoying this moment, and after a while, he fell asleep.

Looking at Jackson’s peaceful and angelic sleeping face, Niamh leaned down and gave him a gentle kiss.

‘Jack, I don’t know if you’ll still want to call me ‘Mommy’ after you know about what I’m going to do.’

She felt tears stinging the corners of her eyes. For some reason, she felt a pain in her heart.

At this moment, Niamh saw a figure from the corner of her eyes. She lifted her gaze and saw Eloise at the door. She was smiling and looking at Niamh with a gentle look on her face.

Niamh placed the blanket on Jackson and walked out.

Eloise looked at Niamh expectantly. “Miss Vera, you’re more than welcome to drop by at our house at any time.”

Niamh smiled. “I think this will be the last time I come here.”

“Why?” Eloise stopped in her tracks. There was worry in her eyes. “Are you going back to F Country? Don’t you want to see me after what happened?”

“You’ll know why soon enough,” Niamh replied calmly. She looked at Eloise with her watery eyes. “Sometimes, when something happens, you’ll never be able to go back to how things were. However, I still want to thank you and Mr. Montgomery.”

“T-Thank us?” Eloise was puzzled. However, Niamh just nodded and turned around.

‘Yes, thank you.

‘Thank you for bringing me to this world even though all I’ve ever gotten for the past 30 years was pain.’

…

The next day.

Niamh went to Waldburg Corporation early in the morning. The shareholders with the shares from Waldburg Corporation were all waiting in the meeting room.

After rearranging the relevant documents, Niamh sashayed into the meeting room. She sat down on the seat that signified the utmost power. Then, she started speaking solemnly, “Kendrick Waldburg will not be the CEO of Waldburg Corporation any more. He’s no longer the person with the power to make the final decisions. From this moment on, everything he was responsible for, including his business and positions, will be passed to me.”

Everyone was shocked when they heard that. They looked at each other and were stunned.

At this moment, the door of the meeting room flew open. The man who was supposed to be investigating in F Country was sauntering into Niamh’s vision at this very moment.

Despite Niamh being surprised about Kendrick’s early return, she remained calm. She even had a thought-provoking smile on her face.

The man walked over to her, the icy aura around him making him look as domineering as a tyrant. Everything around him was only serving as props now.

He was looking straight ahead as if he could not see the other people in the room. His dark eyes only reflected Niamh’s beautiful face.

He walked forward, and with every step, his heartbeat accelerated until he got in front of Niamh.

After one of the shareholders came back to his senses, he said, “You’re back just in time, Mr. Waldburg. Your wife said—”

“All of you, get out.”

Kendrick interrupted him coldly, his eyes still glued on Niamh’s face.

The shareholders were looking at each other in confusion. However, they still walked out.

Niamh and Kendrick were the only ones left in the large meeting room now.

Niamh said as she broke the silence, “You’re back so quickly. Since that’s the case, I think you already know what’s going on.”

She was not as soft-spoken as she was before. At this moment, she was distant and had a look of disdain.

“Mr. Waldburg, you’re so exceptional. You’re so efficient in carrying out your duties. However, you’re too late this time.”

Niamh grabbed the stack of documents on the table and tossed it to Kendrick.

“From now on, you’re not the president of Waldburg Corporation. You have no right to speak during the board meeting as well.”

Kendrick looked at Niamh calmly and picked up the documents.

He lowered his gaze as his eyelashes trembled. He scanned the contents of the documents and placed them down indifferently.

“If I can get you to come back to me after I lose all of this, I’ll be more than happy to accept it.”

Niamh scoffed when she heard that. “Kendrick Waldburg, I don’t want to keep acting anymore. Why are you still keeping this up?”

She looked at his handsome face and mocked, saying, “Do you really think I’ll believe that you love me so much that you’re willing to lose everything for me?”

Niamh lifted her beautiful gaze, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes.

“You already know who I am right, right?”

After she said that, the air around them froze immediately.

Kendrick had an ominous glint in his eyes. However, he still looked calmly at the beautiful eyes in front of him that was filled with hatred and hostility.

On the other hand, Niamh did not have the pettiness or caution that she used to have in her eyes anymore. She looked into Kendrick’s eyes confidently. Her eyes softened slightly when she recalled her past.

“Do you know how happy I was when I first met you?” she asked with a smile. “You were the warm light in my lonely and gray life. Ever since I met you, I treasured the light and kept it in my heart. I thought that when we met again, the light would glow even brighter and warmer. However, you killed that light completely and utterly with your cruelness again and again.

“Kendrick, I used to love you so much. I was willing to do and endure anything as long as you were happy. But why did you treat a woman who loved you so much so cruelly? Why did I get such an ending just because I loved you? Tell me, why?”

Kendrick felt tears well up in his eyes as he heard Niamh’s words. His heartbeat also accelerated.

He pressed his lips together. He could feel his throat tightening because of some kind of emotion.

He lifted his hand to touch Niamh’s cheek, but it was pushed away in disgust by Niamh.

“Don’t touch me,” Niamh said in disgust, “Don’t touch me with your hands that have touched other women. I feel disgusted.”

Hiss.

Kendrick felt as if something had stabbed his heart after he heard Niamh’s hateful words.

It turned out that the word ‘disgusted’ could hold so much power.

However, he had kept using this word back then as a weapon to attack her again and again.

Niamh took a deep breath when Kendrick did not say anything. She peered at Kendrick, her eyes filled with anger. She mocked, saying, “Why? Are you unhappy that I’m treating you like this? Who are you to be unhappy about it? Did you forget how you used to treat me? You said I was a wh*re with loose morals. You said I disgusted you. You said I wasn’t worthy to be Kendrick Waldburg’s wife. Did you forget all of these?”

After she questioned him, Kendrick frowned.

He recounted everything he did to her in the past. He had indeed done innumerable crimes.

He did not say anything and only stared straight at her.

His red eyes were filled with countless unspeakable apologies, remorse, and love.

However, he knew the current Niamh would not be able to see all of that.
