Chapter 61 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

Niamh did not even have the chance to explain herself, but the crime had been pinned onto her.

Eloise and Sean’s surprised and bewildered gazes, and even had a hint of anticipation completely evaporated. All that was left on their faces were disdain and contempt.

“Niamh, how could an evil person like you exist in this world!” Eloise shouted at Niamh.

Sean was filled with rage as well. “Get out of my sight! You are never to appear before our family ever again!”

As he said that, he tenderly held Nevaeh’s hand. “Nevaeh, this is the gold pendant mom and dad had made for you before you were even born, now I’ll put it on you myself.”

Niamh looked on as Sean gently put the pendant on Nevaeh’s neck, and Nevaeh’s eyes were full of tears with a touched look on her face.

“How wonderful, the pendant has finally returned to our precious daughter.” Eloise’s elated voice could be heard. Her gaze was filled with motherly love as she looked at Nevaeh.

Looking at that scene, Niamh could not help but cry as an inexplicable pain shot through her heart.

She stepped forward and tried to explain. “I did not steal that pendant, my grandfather left it…”

“Niamh, what are you still trying to do?!” Rose suddenly interrupted her, forcefully pulling Niamh’s shoulder. “Get out of here this instant! Don’t for a moment think that Nevaeh is an easy target!”

Rose continued to shout as she pulled Niamh away from them.

Niamh wanted to fight back, but her body was very weak. Her vision got hazier as she looked at the familial scene in front of her. The pain in her heart intensified looking at Sean and Eloise tenderly hugging Nevaeh.

She wished desperately that Eloise and Sean would turn around to look at her, and she finally got her wish. Eloise did shift her gaze onto her, but it was a look full of hate.

Eloise hated her.

Just by looking at her, Eloise would be filled with disgust.

Niamh’s heart felt like it was stabbed by a knife, and blood was pouring out of the wound. No, the wound itself felt like it was being filled with salt.

Niamh never knew why she cared so much for Eloise, why she liked her, and wanted to get closer to her. However, now she realized the reason, yet, she did not dare dwell on it…

As she was deep in thought, Niamh was shoved by Rose, falling on the floor.

“Get lost!” Rose spat at Niamh, and had a fierce look on her face as she warned her, “Listen carefully, if you dare to even get close to Nevaeh again, your life will be at risk!”

After threatening Niamh, Rose turned around and went back in.

Niamh tried to stop her tears, but due to her tumor, her stomach was constantly in pain, to the degree where she could not get up.

Just as Niamh wished for someone to help her up, she suddenly saw a wheelchair stop by her side. She looked up in disbelief and saw Eloise.

Niamh’s heart skipped a beat as she looked up hopefully.

However, at the moment, Eloise raised her hand and threw the pink carnation that Niamh gave her at Niamh’s face.

“Niamh, don’t ever come near to our family again. I will never forgive you if you bully our precious daughter anymore!” Eloise gave a stern warning before softly telling Nevaeh who was pushing the wheelchair, “Dear, push me inside.”

“Okay,” Nevaeh said obediently, pushing Eloise toward the elevator.

Niamh sat on the cold floor in despair. She saw Nevaeh turn her head around, flashing a victorious and sinister smile at her.

Niamh endured the pain that was coursing through her body, biting down on her lips as she looked at the pendant on Nevaeh’s neck. She suddenly understood why her grandfather had died…

Niamh stood up and leaned against the corner, waiting for Eloise’s room to be empty. She then covered up her face and hurried inside.

She took out the toothbrush that Eloise used in the morning before rushing away.

Niamh immediately went to perform a DNA test nearby. After two days, she received a call, asking her to personally collect the report.

On the way there, Niamh was filled with anxiety. The answer seemed to already be in her heart, but she did not have the courage to accept it.

After receiving the report, the few pieces of paper felt like they weighed a ton in her hands, causing her to not have the strength to open it.

She decided to head home before looking at it, but the moment she stepped out the door, a burly looking man forcefully grabbed onto her wrist.

Niamh tried to escape, but she could not resist that huge man. She was forced into a car.

“Who are you?! Where are you bringing me?!” Niamh shouted, but no one responded. She could not even jump out of the car if she wanted to, since someone was holding onto her hands the whole way.

After a little over ten minutes, the car stopped at a deserted place outside the city.

“Get out!” The man fiercely pulled her out of the car, shoving her onto the ground.

As Niamh fell on the ground, her palms fell onto the sharp rocks on the floor, piercing through her skin as she started to bleed. She ignored the pain as she raised her head up.

“What are you doing?! Who sent you here, is it Nevaeh?!” She asked. The moment she said that, Nevaeh appeared in front of her.

Nevaeh had a face full of makeup and an expensive branded fur coat as she looked down arrogantly on Niamh.

“Nevaeh, so it is you!” Niamh clenched her teeth as she faced the vile woman. “What did you have me brought here for? What are you planning on doing?!”

Niamh tried to stand up after saying that, but the moment she moved, someone kicked her on the stomach.

The pain caused her entire body to tremble as she rolled on the grass, her face pale. The cold winter air pierced her like a cold knife on her skin.

It was so cold, but Niamh’s forehead was full of sweat.

Looking at Niamh’s despondent state, Nevaeh spoke, “Niamh, how could you ask such a stupid question? I’m just repaying a debt, a tooth for a tooth after all. Why did you have to bully me all the time? Now Kendrick is telling me that I need to prove a point to you.”

The moment Kendrick was mentioned, Niamh’s heart froze.

“Beat her up.” Nevaeh issued the order, her beautiful eyes were filled with mirth, but her voice was full of venom. Those thugs listened to the order, and immediately rained blows and kicks toward Niamh.

At the end of it, the thugs took their money and left. Nevaeh remained behind, looking down at a severely wounded and shivering Niamh.

The sky suddenly turned dark, and it did not take long for snow to begin falling.

The ice-cold snow fell on Niamh’s open wounds as the cold pierced into her bones, chilling her to the core.

Nevaeh was completely untouched, maintaining her usual demeanor as a spoilt and arrogant princess, looking down snidely at the tortured and powerless Niamh.

“Mother told me her toothbrush was missing the other day. I immediately knew you were the culprit.” Nevaeh said.

Niamh’s eyes widened as she raised her head in determination, only to see the DNA test that she had not even looked at herself in Nevaeh’s hands. Her heart beat fiercely.

She clenched her fists that were filled with mud and blood as she forced her battered body to stand up.

“Give it back!” Niamh lunged at Nevaeh, trying to take back the maternity test.

Nevaeh let out a sly laugh as she got out of the way, raising her leg to send a kick at Niamh’s stomach.

Her sharp heels pierced into Niamh’s abdomen, which only had a thin shirt over it. Niamh was in so much pain that she felt all the nerves in her body contracting.

Before she could stabilize her footing, Nevaeh grabbed onto her short hair, letting out a cruel warning. “Niamh, remember this. I am the precious daughter that the Montgomeries lost all those years ago. What are you? Do you think you are an ugly duckling that can turn into a swan just because of a stupid gold pendant?! Are you even worthy?!”

After her poisonous warning, Nevaeh violently pulled Niamh’s hair, shoving her head into a tree trunk over and over again, until Niamh had a gaping wound on her head.

Niamh understood why Nevaeh had ordered some thugs to beat her up beforehand, it was to make it easier for Nevaeh to torture her right now. Niamh had absolutely no power to fight back. Niamh’s wound on her forehead had only just begun to heal, but it was once again open and bleeding.

However, the pain that Nevaeh had brought onto her was not limited to just that. At the moment, Niamh was slumped on the floor, leaning against a dried-up tree, her pale face full of dirt and blood, looking absolutely terrifying.

Nevaeh stood in front of Niamh, grabbing onto her chin. “Oh, look at how pathetic you are right now. Quit dreaming of seducing any more men. You can forget about Kendrick, as for Felipe…”

She paused for a moment before letting out a crazy laugh.

“Niamh, do you really think a high-class man like Felipe would even look at a knocked up ex-convict like you?” Nevaeh was filled with the feeling of superiority as she constantly belittled Niamh.

She was always jealous of Niamh’s gorgeous looks and was always worried that Kendrick would eventually be seduced by that face of hers. However, now Niamh’s face had been completely ruined by her.

Looking at Niamh’s face bleeding, Nevaeh was extremely satisfied. However, Niamh did not utter a single word, she never broke her defiant state on Nevaeh.

Nevaeh laughed without a care in the world, grabbing onto Niamh’s chin again. “I warned you not to go against me. There is only one outcome if you fight me, and that is a fate worse than death!”

She bit through her last words, absolutely confident that she could make Niamh’s life just like hell on earth from now on. That was because, behind her was not just Kendrick Waldburg, but also the Montgomeries.

Just as Nevaeh was happily devising the next step in her torture of Niamh, Niamh suddenly lunged up, snatching the DNA test papers from Nevaeh’s hands. It was only when her hands were empty that she realized Niamh did not scream or fight back earlier all for the sake of that moment!

“B*tch!” She shouted in anger, trying to snatch the report back, but she saw that Niamh had already ripped open the envelope, taking out the documents within. Nevaeh panicked at the sight, raising her leg to send a fierce kick to Niamh’s back.

Niamh was sent sprawling on the floor by the kick as the familiar taste of blood came from her throat. In the next second, she spat out a massive mouthful of blood.

Even with the situation like that, her grip on the DNA test papers did not loosen. The blood dripped onto the white blanket of snow on the ground as Niamh opened her clear eyes, looking right at the red stamp on the paper, ‘Confirmation of relation”.

Her heart felt like it was pierced by a sharp blade, and after it shattered, the cold wind covered it up, causing it to go numb.

“Confirmation of relation…”

Niamh was fixated on those words as she let out a cold laugh, not able to stop the pain in her heart.

As she laughed, tears obscured her vision, flowing freely from her eyes.

She did have parents.

Her parents were actually right by her side.

However, her parents hate her to the bone.
