Chapter 76 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

After three years, his demeanor and appearance were even better now.

His irresistible charm came crashing, causing a few women to start blushing.

“You seem interested in my gossip, Miss.” He smiled and handed her a card. “If you’re interested, you can call me anytime to get more details.”

Niamh took the card and smiled profoundly. “I think we’ll meet very soon.”

Kendrick was attracted to the wedding ring on Niamh’s ring finger. When he heard Niamh saying that, he came back to his senses.

Nevaeh did not understand what Kendrick was doing, but she knew he was interested in that face.

That night, Niamh st by the window in the hotel. She was working on her draft on her laptop.

She picked up Kendrick’s card and took a look at it. Then, she scoffed and threw it to one side.

‘Kendrick, you didn’t think that I’d still be alive, huh?’

“Mommy, Mommy, look! It’s that annoying and evil woman!” The little girl waddled over to Niamh and handed her the phone.

Niamh lowered her head to take a look. She noticed that it was a video of her and Nevaeh arguing in KFC. Someone had captured this scene and uploaded the video online.

Kendrick was a well-known person in Glendale, so it was only natural that everyone knew what happened between him and Nevaeh.

Now, Nevaeh’s refusal to apologize after she ran into someone in KFC and her arrogant attitude right after was being witnessed by everyone. Almost everyone was criticizing Nevaeh. They said that she was the daughter of a reputable family who did not have any basic manners.

On the contrary, a lot of people were praising Niamh. They said that she had a good attitude. Plus, they even said that she had a demeanor a young lady from a reputable family should have. A lot of them were also trying to guess what she looked like underneath those sunglasses.

She shut her laptop and looked at the lights outside of the french window. She smirked.

‘Nevaeh, this is just the start.’

At this moment inside Waldburg Manor.

Kendrick sat next to the bed lazily. He was holding his phone while watching a video that was going viral.

In the video, Nevaeh’s menacing behavior made her lose her good reputation. All of a sudden, he was starting to wonder if this was the little girl he met when he was younger, Nia.

He did not think much of it, but his eyes eventually landed on Niamh.

His heart started beating faster.

Those features looked just like hers.

However, despite looking similar, it was still a fact that Niamh had left him forever.

As Kendrick pondered, Niamh’s sweet face appeared in his mind. His heart started aching uncontrollably again…

Niamh…

“Kendrick, are you asleep?” Someone knocked on the door, and in the next moment, Nevaeh’s voice came from outside. “Kendrick, I think you saw the video, right? I’m being maliciously slandered. Can you accompany and comfort me?”

“Plus, the shop at the plaza in the city center is going to be up for auction soon. You promised that you’ll buy it for my birthday present. Do you still remember that, Kendrick?”

Her soft voice sounded from outside the door as she waited for Kendrick’s reply. However, after a while, Kendrick’s mother pulled her away quickly and lectured her.

“You know that Kendrick hasn’t been able to get any decent sleep for the past three years. Don’t disturb him now that he’s finally fallen asleep.”

Nevaeh was already feeling miserable. Now, she was feeling even worse. “Didn’t Kendrick’s father buy some special aromatherapy kit from overseas to soothe Kendrick’s nerves? His sleep has already improved a lot!”

“That’s not a reason to disturb him!” Even though Kendrick’s mother was fond of Nevaeh, her son was more important.

Nevaeh clenched her fist as a fire of rage burned in her chest. However, she could not release her anger. “Niamh is the one who caused him to suffer from insomnia!” She pushed all of the blame onto Niamh.

“That woman did so many evil things. It’s karma that she’s dead!” Kendrick’s mother cursed as well. Then, she looked at Nevaeh. “I have to remind you not to disturb Kendrick when he’s asleep. There’s finally some progress but you’re here making a fuss. Plus, the aromatherapy kit from that perfumer is hard to get.”

Nevaeh scoffed in disdain. “Mrs. Waldburg, don’t be fooled. How would there be such amazing perfumers in the world? It’s just a hoax. The reason Kendrick’s sleep has improved is all because of me.”

Kendrick’s mother peered at Nevaeh. “That perfumer is the rising star of the industry. If it’s fake, how can Kendrick sleep so soundly during this period?”

When Nevaeh heard this, she was even more pissed.

What perfumer? How could there be such people in the world?

She called someone to investigate this. After she got news about this, she found out that this perfumer, Nell, had gotten very popular in the past two years. Plus, the aromatherapy kit Nell created was indeed very efficient.

Nevaeh had an evil thought in her head. It had been so many years and she used all kinds of ways to try to get Kendrick to sleep with her but failed. It was time she invested in something like this.

If she got pregnant ‘again’, then it would only be expected that Kendrick would marry her!

She asked someone to contact the mysterious rising star in the industry, Nell.

When she saw that Nell had accepted her order, Nevaeh transferred a lot of money over in a showy manner. Plus, she even ordered Nell to give her the finished product in three days.

Nevaeh had made up her mind and already chosen a time. After the auction, she would use the aromatherapy kit to take down Kendrick.

On the other side, Niamh took a sip of her coffee slowly. She looked at the huge sum of money that was transferred to her bank account on her phone. She lifted the mirror and looked at her reflection.

She touched the place where the scars used to be. However, she would still feel a stinging pain even though she had only touched them lightly.

She put down the mirror and turned her elegant body. Then, she walked into the fashion boutique next door.

All of the rich and powerful upper-class elites in Glendale were coming to the auction that was being held in the most luxurious six-star hotel here.

They were going to auction off a huge shop in the busiest part of the plaza in the city center.

Nevaeh had been eyeing this shop for a very long time. She also hinted to Kendrick many times before for him to bid on this shop for her.

Back then, she had stolen Niamh’s diary and the jewelry design drafts she left behind when she was in university. Even she needed to admit that Niamh’s designs were outstanding.

Even though Eloise was letting her manage two shops, she was still dissatisfied.

As such, she made up her mind to start her own brand once she got her hands on the shop. She would make a name for herself in the industry and crush all those brands that emerged during that period. Eventually, she would become an internationally well-known jewelry designer.

Nevaeh spent a lot of time and effort dolling herself up. She wanted to become the center of everyone’s attention after she successfully got the shop.

On the other hand, she also wanted to attract Kendrick’s attention.

Before they left, she did not forget to get an update regarding the aromatherapy kit. It was the key item to whether she would be able to have sex with Kendrick tonight. However, she did not get any reply from the perfumer even after a long time.

Nevaeh was agitated, but she could not show it. She followed Kendrick into the hall.

Today was such a great opportunity. She was able to follow Kendrick to a place filled with the rich and famous, so she had to put on a good performance.

Kendrick was wearing a black custom-made suit. His charming and domineering aura was oozing from his bones.

Nevaeh was wearing a stunning gown while donning on the latest jewelry. She walked next to Kendrick while all dolled up in jewels. She had her usual mask of kindness and gentleness as she occasionally greeted the people around them. She enjoyed the envious gazes the other socialites gave her and all the men ogling her.

“Kendrick, let’s sit there,” Nevaeh blinked and said sweetly.

Kendrick pulled his arm away from Nevaeh emotionlessly.

If this hotel was not under his name, he would not even be in attendance.

Nevaeh felt an emptiness in her hands, making her frustrated. However, she still kept the smile on her face as everyone was looking at her and Kendrick. She enjoyed the feeling of being in the center of attention too much.

The auction soon started. Nevaeh sat next to Kendrick happily. However, at that moment, everyone’s gazes left her and were all focused on the entrance of the hall.

Nevaeh’s face fell. She caught a lithe and beautiful figure sashaying over slowly from the corner of her eyes.

She turned around to look closely. When she saw the person walking over with a pair of sunglasses on her face, Nevaeh could not maintain her hypocritical smile anymore.

“Hmph, what a small world!” Nevaeh gritted her teeth. She still had not forgotten about what happened in KFC that day.

Kendrick was initially not bothered by the commotion, but all of a sudden, he felt that something was amiss.

He subconsciously turned around to look over at the scene. When he saw the woman in a long dress and magnolia white suit jacket sashaying over, his eyes lit up.

It was her!

Niamh could see Nevaeh’s cracked smile from underneath her sunglasses.

She walked over while remaining calm and collected. She could feel the eyes of everyone in the room glued on her.

Back then, she did not know how to put on makeup or doll herself up. She did not even know how to walk after putting on high heels.

At that point in time, she was an ugly duckling that even a beggar would look down on.

However, everything was different now.
