Chapter 20 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

With a loud thud, Niamh fell from the bed with her body covered in wounds.

She did not have the energy to get up. She could only allow the intense pain in her body continue to torture her.

Nevertheless, she knew she could not give up so easily. She still had her child and a grandfather who needed her.

…

The next day, Niamh woke up on the floor. She got a call from the manager of the nightclub in her drowsy state. The manager was firm. He insisted Niamh compensate for the wine that she had wasted.

Niamh did not have that much money. Plus, she needed money for Len’s surgery. Without any other option, Niamh signed a certificate of indebtedness.

In one night, not only did she have to bear a debt of five hundred thousand dollars, but she had to fork out three hundred thousand dollars for the surgery. Niamh felt as if the sky was falling.

However, her current situation would not allow her to back down. She finished the ring designs she had drafted and sent them to the client in hopes that they would pay her soon. On the other hand, she accepted a few more orders with much lower prices.

Furthermore, someone from the upper management of a jewelry company seemed to be very fond of Niamh’s designs. So, they invited her to their office to have a talk.

Before their meeting, Niamh took a painkiller. She was worried that her tumor would hurt when the time came.

After she met the executive in the meeting room, Niamh was slightly shocked.

The other party was a refined and charming upper-class woman.

After interacting with her a few times, Niamh knew that she was Eloise Patton, also known as Mrs. Montgomery. She was of the top four rich and influential families of Glendale.

For some reason, Niamh felt a close and dear connection with Eloise every time she talked to her.

The Montgomerys had a lot of assets under their name, and Eloise was responsible for the jewelry. She was very satisfied with Niamh’s first draft.

Due to some special reasons, Eloise invited Niamh to her home the day she was supposed to hand in her final draft.

When she got there, she found out today was the 24th birthday of Eloise and Sean Montgomery’s precious daughter, Brittany Montgomery.

Niamh then remembered today was her 24th birthday as well.

Looking at Brittany who had been pampered like a princess since she was a child, Niamh could not help but feel envious.

Ever since she was young, she did not know what was the love of a father and a mother. When she had the chance to be someone’s mother, God decided to give her such a short life span.

She could feel a dull pain in her heart. Niamh took a deep breath and smiled.

No matter what, she needed to make 300,000 dollars for her grandfather’s surgery.

When Niamh was about to go over and wish Brittany a happy birthday, Nevaeh wandered into her vision.

She was dressed stunningly and had her makeup nicely done. She was holding Brittany’s arm as they took selfies together.

Nevaeh and Brittany were good friends. Niamh did not expect this.

To prevent any trouble, Niamh wanted to turn around and leave, but Nevaeh stopped her.

“Niamh, it is you! I thought I was seeing things,” Nevaeh greeted with a soft and gentle voice. “Why are you here?”

Niamh looked at her coldly. “It’s none of your business.”

“Why is it none of my business? You’re my sister and today is my best friend, Brit’s, birthday. Everyone here is rich. What if you do something shameless like last time again? What should I do then?” she said softly, but the glint in her eyes was extremely sinister.

Niamh chuckled. “Sister? I don’t have a two-faced sister who’d seduce her younger sister’s husband like you.”

“You…” Nevaeh’s face froze. It was evident that she was feeling awkward.

At this moment, Brittany walked over. She was dressed head to toe in branded and luxurious clothing. When she was standing next to Niamh who was wearing something unpresentable, she looked dazzling.

She looked at Niamh with interest and then came to a realization.

“Nevaeh, so this is your shameless sister?”

When Niamh heard this, she was shocked.

It was evident that Nevaeh had talked badly about her behind her back.

“Brit, it’s fine. She’s my sister after all. I’m just not destined to be with Kendrick.” Nevaeh sighed sadly. Then, she looked at Niamh. “Niamh, you should go. Don’t try to steal something like last time.”

“How would this kind of disgusting person get invited to my birthday party?” Brittany’s eyes were filled with contempt. “For Nevaeh’s sake, you should go now! If not, I’ll get someone to kick you out!”

Niamh held the draft in her hands and smiled calmly. “Miss Montgomery, your mother was the one who invited a disgusting person like me here.”

Brittany and Nevaeh looked at each other, shocked.

At this moment, Eloise walked out of the house and Brittany approached her immediately. She pointed at Niamh and said something in Eloise’s ear. Instantly, Niamh saw that there was a hint of rejection and disdain in Eloise’s eyes when she was looking at her.

Niamh knew something was not right. However, she still smiled and greeted, “Mrs. Montgomery, I brought over the drafts that you wanted.”

“Please go now, Miss Delgado,” said Eloise with an oddly calm tone. “I won’t accept any of those drafts. As for your deposit, I won’t take it back. Just treat it as the cost of lost labor. Please don’t come to me ever again. I won’t allow the jewelry design of Montgomery Enterprise to be tarnished by a dirty woman like you.”

After she heard that, Niamh knew she was finished.

She was not bothered if people humiliated or misunderstood her, but this business was too important to her.

“Draft? Niamh, when did you become a designer?” Nevaeh was shocked. “Are you plagiarizing the designs on the internet and then claiming them to be yours like how you did when you were graduating? Niamh, why did you let yourself go so much?” Nevaeh looked at her in disappointment.

When Eloise heard this, her face turned even darker. She glared at Niamh in anger and left with her daughter.

Niamh felt a pang of pain in her heart after Eloise looked at her with such a disgusted expression.

She wanted to chase after her to explain herself, but someone pulled her back.

When Nevaeh saw that there was no one around them, she displayed a sinister smirk. “You see, you lowly peasant, don’t even think about competing with me for the position of Mrs. Waldburg. Niamh, you’ll know what’s the consequences of fighting over a man with me soon enough.”

Niamh clutched the rejected designs in her hand and glared at Nevaeh’s pleased smirk. She could not help herself and lifted her hand to slap Nevaeh heavily across the cheek.

“It’s still unknown what will happen to me, but I can clearly see that you have my fingerprints on your cheek now.”

“Niamh! How dare you slap me, you b*tch?!” Nevaeh was livid.

Niamh smirked coldly. “I’ll hit you whenever I want. This is not the first time anyway. You can go complain about me to Kendrick after you recompose yourself. He loves your b*tchy act so much.”

“…”

Nevaeh touched her cheek and ground her teeth in anger.

She wanted to slap Niamh back, but she dodged easily. Then, she turned around and left.

Niamh knew that b*tch would definitely complain about her to Kendrick. However, she did not expect Kendrick to call her so fast.
