Chapter 102 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

It was still not her.

“That’s good.” Niamh smiled, satisfied. “I heard that Mr. Waldburg hates Niamh very much. She has been dead for three years. Why do you still keep her old clothes in your room? “

Kendrick locked his gaze on Niamh’s face when he heard these words. “How do you know that these are my ex-wife’s clothes?”

Niamh smiled calmly. “This is a very simple guess, isn’t it?”

Hearing this rhetorical question, Kendrick smiled. “That’s right.”

At the same time, Nevaeh contacted Tanner who had just come out of the hospital.

Tanner had not gained anything last night, having been scared to death by the sudden appearance of a ‘ghost’. He was also severely beaten by Kendrick until he lost a tooth. He had simply suffered double the loss.

He came out of the hospital as soon as he heard that tooth fillings cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Where was he to get so much money as a quack? When he received a call from Nevaeh, he felt as if an opportunity had come.

Nevaeh was very cautious and did not transfer anything to Tanner, fearing that Kendrick would find a trace.

She put on a wig and sunglasses, changed her outfit, and arranged for Tanner to meet her at a remote cafe.

Upon meeting, Nevaeh generously gave away 100,000 dollars in cash.

As soon as he saw the amount of money, Tanner’s eyes lit up. He snatched the bills quickly and repeatedly agreed. “Miss Montgomery, don’t worry. This isn’t the first time we’ve cooperated. Your business is mine!

“Oh, I blame myself for my drunkenness and misstep last night, but you said that… Who’s that Quinn…”

“Vera Quinn.” Nevaeh repeated impatiently. “You’d better remember it. That’s not Niamh! That b*tch Niamh died three years ago. There are no such things as ghosts in this world! Even if Niamh has really turned into a ghost, I can also make her go away!”

Tanner shrank his neck when he heard the word ‘ghost’.

It was hard to straighten oneself up when they had done a lot of bad things.

“You can keep the money as long as you keep your mouth shut about the kidnapping. I promise you won’t ever have to worry about having nothing to eat or drink in your life!”

“Miss Montgomery, don’t worry. I know what to do,” Tanner replied repeatedly, then said unhappily, “That Vera Quinn, how dare she frighten me?! I have to let her know how good I am!”

Nevaeh was satisfied with this.

It would be a good thing for her if Tanner could deal with Vera.

She also hated the woman!

Yet, now the most important thing was about the kidnapping. In any case, Kendrick could not find out that it was related to her!

On that rainy day, night fell early.

Niamh sat in Kendrick’s car as they waited on the route that Tanner used to go back to his rental house every day.

It was almost ten o’clock when Tanner finally appeared.

He got off a taxi and started humming while feeling in a good mood.

Niamh got out of the car immediately and walked under a tree.

“Tanner,” she called out.

Tanner stopped abruptly and looked toward the source of the voice.

Seeing a white shadow in the night, he paused for a while. Then, he showed a frightened expression.

“Niamh!”

Niamh felt very comfortable seeing Tanner who she had frightened.

She knew that she was not helping Kendrick—she was helping herself.

She would not let go of these people who had harmed her.

However, to Niamh’s surprise, Tanner suddenly showed a playful expression after being frightened. “Niamh, do you miss me? Is that why you’ve become a ghost? You want to make things up with me, don’t you? If you want to find me, just give me a reminder. Don’t pop up all of a sudden. Did you know that yesterday, you scared me till I spoke nonsense at Waldburg Corporation’s 50th anniversary party? You’ve even wronged your sister, Nevaeh.”

Tanner suddenly turned the conversation around. There was no longer a look of fear on his face. Instead, he walked toward her with a frivolous expression. His face was hurt, making his appearance even more ugly.

“Niamh, I miss you too. I want to relive my old dreams with you, especially the mole on your chest. It’s so beautiful!”

His words were getting nastier and nastier while his expression became more and more wretched.

Niamh looked at this man who had used violence against her with hatred. Even her fists were shaking.

“Niamh, since you keep pestering me like this, why don’t you follow me upstairs now and we can be gentle and affectionate with each other?”

After saying these words, Tanner stretched out his hands and pounced on Niamh!

Seeing Tanner charge over, Niamh thought of the atrocities he had done to her.

After a flash of a moment, when she had finally reacted to counterattack, a gust of wind roared from behind her all of a sudden.

Kendrick’s warm palms held onto her shoulders tightly, bringing her to the side.

Niamh was instantly surrounded by a familiar yet unfamiliar warm breath. Before she could see clearly, she saw Tanner swiping the air before hitting the tree. It was followed by Kendrick’s right hand twisting him around.

Tanner suddenly screamed, “Ow, ow!” However, Kendrick did not let up. He lifted his foot to Tanner’s knee and kicked him viciously, forcing Tanner to kneel down before kicking him away.

Niamh thought that Kendrick wanted to continue to teach Tanner a lesson, but he suddenly hugged her tightly, worried.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here. I won’t let anyone bully you again.”

His gentle voice slipped into her ears like water in the night. It was so unbelievably gentle, carrying a trace of tension and worry as if he was really worried that she would be hurt.

Niamh opened her eyes blankly, feeling Kendrick’s embrace increasingly tighten.

Fine beads of rain fell from the sky, then densely. It was accompanied by the late summer breeze. It was so cold.

Yet the heat from his chest, which was pressed close to her and penetrated into her skin through their clothes, was so hot.

At such a close distance, she could hardly tell if it was her own heartbeat or Kendrick’s heartbeat that was disturbing her thoughts at the moment.

When she was almost lost in a daze, the pain from her invisible wounds made Niamh sober. “Mr. Waldburg, if you continue doing this, I’ll get angry,” she spoke softly, and the meaning of refusal was obvious.

Kendrick’s eyes froze as if he had just walked back from a beautiful dream.

“Sorry,” he whispered softly in her ear, then let go of his embrace.

He grabbed Tanner, who had wanted to run, and pushed him to the tree. His deep black eyes pierced Tanner like a poisonous sword.

“Listen, I’ll only give you one chance.” Kendrick’s thin lips parted open a little and his tone was cold. “The kidnapping of my son. Who did it and what did they mean by it?”

Tanner tilted his swollen mouth and stretched his trembling finger out to Niamh.

“Yes, it’s her! It’s Niamh! It was Niamh who contacted me and asked me to kidnap your son!” He was completely denying what he said at the dinner party last night.

Obviously, such a sudden change was definitely bought.

Kendrick furrowed his eyebrows and pressed his strong arm against Tanner’s neck. “So, are you asking for money or life?”

Upon hearing this, Tanner’s pupils shrank. As he looked at Kendrick’s sharp black eyes, he could not help but shudder. “Whi… Mr. Waldburg, it really is Niamh! I’m not lying!” He pointed at the silent Niamh. “Niamh, don’t think just because you’ve become a ghost that I’m afraid of you! A sinister and vicious woman like you who can sleep around for money deserved to die, you—”

Crack!

Before he could speak anymore, he got another punch in the face.

Kendrick seemed to have been rubbed the wrong way and his eyes were dark like he was Satan from hell. He raised his fist and slammed it on Tanner’s body.

Tanner screamed with pain and kept bleeding from his mouth.

At the end of his screams, Tanner was almost dying.
