Chapter 29 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

She knew how it felt to have a million arrows penetrate her heart, so Niamh was calm when she was faced with this kind of slander.

Niamh walked over and the two women eating with Eve saw her approaching. They stopped awkwardly and made eyes at Eve.

However, Eve kept on cursing and swearing, “I heard in order to climb into Mr. Waldburg’s bed, that shameless woman even drugged him. How cheap! I, personally, can’t bring myself to do that kind of thing. Only a prostitute like her would do something so shameless!”

She continued rambling. Suddenly, she noticed her colleague’s expressions were off. She turned around in puzzlement and saw Niamh standing behind her.

Eve froze, then said in dissatisfaction, “Have you finished the things I asked you to do? Why are you standing behind me like a dead person?”

Niamh smiled calmly. “Nothing. I just want to see how a shameful woman like you can put on one act in front of a person and then put on another act behind them. Did you talk bad about these two in front of other colleagues as well?”

After she said that, the faces of the two women sitting with Eve turned dark. Eve’s face had also fallen.

She leaped up and was agitated. “Niamh, what are you saying? Do you still want to work here?”

It was lunchtime and there were a lot of employees in the cafeteria. Everyone was looking over at them.

Niamh calmly removed the work pass in front of her chest and threw it on Eve’s face. “No, I don’t want to work here anymore.”

“You…” Eve’s face turned green. She pointed at Niamh but could not say anything.

Niamh turned around carefreely and saw two people standing at the entrance of the cafeteria. It was Nevaeh and Eloise.

Niamh only had resentment toward Nevaeh. However, when she saw Eloise, not only did she not mind Eloise misunderstanding her, but she even felt a kind of close and dear connection with her. However, Eloise was looking at her with so much contempt in her eyes.

Niamh felt her heart sinking without a reason. In order to prevent any more unwanted trouble, she decided to walk away. However, when she got to the door, Nevaeh stopped her.

“Niamh, don’t be like this. I know you need a job now. I spent so much time begging Mom to let you have a job here. Don’t throw childish tantrums. Go back to your work please.”

Indeed, the reason she could get this job so easily was because of Nevaeh pulling some strings behind the scenes.

However, Niamh was not an idiot. How would Nevaeh be so kind?

“Stop pretending. You don’t feel disgusted, but I do.” She pushed away Nevaeh’s hand that was trying to reach out to her in contempt.

Nevaeh tilted her body as if she was too weak and fragile. Then, she leaned against Eloise.

Eloise saw that her precious daughter was being bullied, so she walked over to Niamh in agitation and shielded Nevaeh behind her.

“Niamh, don’t be blind to what’s good for you! If Nevaeh hadn’t begged me, I wouldn’t have let a person like you work in my company!” Eloise said angrily.

“Even though you’re not Nevaeh’s biological sister, she never bickered with you despite you bullying her relentlessly. She was even so thoughtful of you. It’s fine if you’re not grateful, but you’re even trying to bite the hand that feeds you!”

It was this same phrase again.

Niamh was about to change her perspective about that idiom now.

Until now, she had no idea what benevolence Nevaeh had given to her. Nevaeh only gave her pain and more pain.

When Niamh saw Eloise protecting Nevaeh while scolding her, she felt another pang of pain in her heart.

“It’s fine, Mom. I can emphasize with Niamh. She has never had parents ever since she was young, so that’s why her views are a bit skewed. Please don’t be mad at her,” Nevaeh grabbed Eloise’s hand and said in an understanding manner.

Niamh was tired of explaining herself. She rolled her eyes and said, “How disgusting.”

Eloise’s face fell. When she was about to say something, Nevaeh stopped her again.

“Niamh, if you’ll feel better after yelling at me, then you should go ahead. I know you’ve suffered so much during the three years in prison.” Nevaeh was speaking so sensibly. She even said to the employees in the cafeteria, “Niamh did a lot of bad things in the past, but everyone makes mistakes. Plus, she has served her time and has atoned for her mistakes. I hope you guys won’t judge her. I’m thanking all of you in advance.”

It was such a two-faced performance, but after she said that, every employee started praising Nevaeh’s magnanimous behavior. Eloise was also looking at her daughter with a proud expression on her face.

Someone even praised Nevaeh for having the manner of a young lady from a noble family.

Niamh wanted to vomit when she heard that.

There were so many employees in the company. How many of them knew Niamh? After Nevaeh announced her past, she was forced to be labeled as despicable and shameless.

Some of them exclaimed about how she had served time.

A woman who had served time was not good.

Niamh was so disgusted that she left without turning back. It was as if everyone in the room was blind, deaf, or out of their minds. They could not see the wonderful performance that Nevaeh was putting on.

She packed her bags to leave the office. However, when she got to the door, she was stopped. “Niamh.”

She stopped and turned around to see Nevaeh smirking widely at her.

“Tch.” Nevaeh scoffed. “When did you become so weak? Are you really going to resign and not work here? Do you think you can find jobs in other places after you step out of this door?”

Her words reminded Niamh of the reality of it all.

No wonder she kept running into walls when she was looking for a job. Nevaeh was the one behind it.

“It’s you, right?”

“Right, it’s me. I told everyone in all industries that there will be a woman named Niamh Delgado. I told them that you’ve been to prison for plagiarism before and whoever hires you will be slapped with a lawsuit.”

Her nonchalant attitude lit the fire of anger in Niamh’s chest.

However, she was not rash. She only asked calmly, “Nevaeh, the way of heaven is fair, and the guilty will not escape. Your evil conduct will be exposed one day.”

“Tch.” Nevaeh snorted. “Niamh, don’t be stupid. Do you still believe the myth of evil can never prevail over good? If that was true, you wouldn’t have been convicted of plagiarism three years ago. I only had to say that you plagiarized and in the end, you were indeed caught plagiarizing.”

While she said that, she fiddled with the diamond ring on her ring finger.

Niamh’s eyes became dispirited. She could clearly see the ring Nevaeh was wearing and it was the very ring she had designed!

“Niamh, you’re talented. This ring looks nice. I like it, but most importantly, Kendrick was the one who put it on for me.”

She was flaunting her ring, her pride clearly written all over her eyes.

Niamh curled her fingers and held the phone that was recording a video the entire time tightly in her hand. She smiled as she gritted her teeth.

“Nevaeh, did you just admit to framing me for plagiarism even though I’m clearly the original creator?”

Nevaeh scoffed. “So what? Who’s going to believe you? Who are you to compete with me?”

“That’s enough.” Niamh tugged the corner of her lips and turned around after she said that.

When Nevaeh saw Niamh behaving weirdly, she could feel that something was amiss. When she finally realized what was wrong, Niamh had already gotten into the car.

After a while, a video went viral on the internet.

In the video, Nevaeh’s face was clearly in the shot and every word she said was genuine and sure.
