Chapter 122 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

After the manager and head of design said that, the atmosphere in the hall became livelier.

Mrs. Longford, who had been accusing Niamh, was completely stunned. On the other hand, Nevaeh was looking at Niamh in disbelief. All of them had their jaws on the floor.

“W-What did you say?” Nevaeh frowned while pointing at Niamh. “Did you say that she, Vera Quinn, is the chief designer of Miss L.ady?”

Nevaeh was feeling reluctant when she asked this question.

However, she got an affirmative answer instantly.

“That’s right. This is the founder of Miss L.ady and the chief designer of the brand, Vera Quinn.”

“…”

Nevaeh was instantly shocked. Her mouth dropped open as she looked at Niamh who was calm and composed. She was utterly dumbstruck.

Eloise and Kendrick’s mother looked at each other. They could not believe what they were seeing and hearing at this moment.

This woman had so much up her sleeves!

Moreover, the most popular jewelry in their circle for these past two years were all designed by this woman.

They could not believe this.

How was this possible?

“So, Madam, why would Vera want to steal your bracelet? We also believe you’ve been scammed into buying a counterfeit,” the head of design asked her confidently.

“How could this be a counterfeit? I spent 100,000 dollars on this!” That woman shrieked and looked at Niamh while feeling unconvinced. “It’s obvious that this woman stole my bracelet! You people are in cahoots with each other!”

“So I guess you’re still insisting that I stole your bracelet, huh?” Niamh lifted her eyebrow and asked flatly.

That woman pointed at Niamh angrily. “It is you!”

“Alright,” Niamh said calmly before looking at the head of design. “Sasa, contact Mr. Moore for me right now and ask him to draft me a letter. I want to sue this person for slander.”

“Alright, I’ll do it now.” The head of design carried out the order that was given to her. She felt more at ease now.

They needed to teach this woman a lesson!

“…” The woman’s expression changed. She did not expect Niamh to fight back like this. Now, she was even more furious. “How dare you sue me? You stole my bracelet and you’re still so arrogant. You —”

“Honey! Honey, what are you doing? Didn’t you say you want to show your friend your bracelet?” Suddenly, a man in a suit walked over to the woman. There was an amethyst bracelet in his hand that looked the same as Niamh’s.

However, compared to the one Niamh had, the one in his hand had a darker color and there was no luster. It was obvious which one of them was fake.

When the woman saw the bracelet in the man’s hand, her expression changed frantically. “W-Why is my bracelet with you?”

“Didn’t you ask me to hold it for you? I went to the restroom just now and I couldn’t find you after I came out.” The man explained aggrievedly.

“…” The woman’s face immediately turned red. Tears welled up in her eyes as she stammered. She could not form a sentence even after a long time.

This was a sudden plot twist. Everyone who had looked at Niamh with suspicion earlier was now looking at the woman. The three of them who sided with Nevaeh earlier were feeling extremely uneasy now.

Niamh smiled softly. “According to my professional judgment, your fake product costs no more than four digits.”

“What?” The woman widened her eyes in shock. Her face turned from red to white. She did not expect the thing that she wanted to show off to just be a cheap counterfeit!

The woman did not want to stay anymore after seeing so many people from her circle criticizing her. She turned around angrily to walk away.

“You falsely accused someone and you want to leave without apologizing?”

Suddenly, a voice as cold as night cut through the crowd.

The woman stopped in her tracks. Then, she saw a young and handsome man in front of her.

Felipe was wearing a fitting tailored suit, looking elegant and smart. At this moment, there was anger in his eyes. It was the opposite of his usual calm and graceful face with no emotions.

“Apologize to my fiancée now, or else, it won’t be as easy as just a lawsuit.”

“…” The woman did not know who Felipe was, but she was horrified by the coldness coming from his eyes.

Niamh walked over to Felipe and grabbed his arm naturally and intimately. “It’s fine, Felipe. I don’t need a hypocritical apology. It’s enough that everyone knows that I’m innocent.”

“How can I let that happen?” Felipe looked at Niamh gently. “I won’t let anyone bully or tarnish your name. I won’t allow it even if it’s one word.”

His defensive words were filled with the overprotectiveness of a boyfriend.

Niamh looked into Felipe’s eyes. Perhaps it was the lighting, but she saw deep love and overbearingness that she had seen before in his eyes.

Her heart raced. Before she could say anything else, she saw a few younger socialites blushing when they saw Felipe.

Perhaps they were melting at what he said just now.

Nevaeh was extremely jealous of what she was seeing right now.

She already despised this woman who looked exactly the same as Niamh. Tonight, she had wanted to see Niamh making a fool out of herself, but she did not expect such a plot twist!

“What are you waiting for? Are you going to apologize only when we’re at the police station?” Felipe asked in a cold voice.

That woman trembled after she saw Felipe’s icy gaze. She apologized hurriedly and frantically. “I-I’m sorry! I made a mistake! I’m sorry for wrongly accusing you!”

It had been three years.

Niamh did not expect that she would one day get this woman’s apology.

However, if Kendrick had not been so heartless back then, she would have gotten this apology three years ago.

Niamh was lamenting this in her heart. When she lifted her head, she saw Nevaeh looking at her from head to toe.

When she saw Niamh looking at her, Nevaeh averted her eyes quickly.

After that woman apologized, she wanted to leave quickly. However, Felipe stopped her again. “Not only should you apologize to my fiancée…”

He started to say profoundly.

The woman froze in confusion. Then, she heard Felipe saying again.

“Just now, you said there was a girl who looked like my fiancée back then who stole your bracelet during the Waldburgs’ birthday party, right?”

“Right! That’s right! It’s all because your fiancée looks so much like that maid. If not, I wouldn’t have mistaken her for that recidivist!” The woman was trying her best to shift the blame. She wanted to shift all the responsibility to Niamh who had been the thief three years ago.

There was a layer of ice on Felipe’s handsome face. He said, “Listen carefully, that girl wasn’t the Waldburgs’ maid. She’s my nephew and Kendrick’s wife, Niamh. Also, the person who stole your bracelet wasn’t Niamh, it was her.”

Everyone was already shocked by what Felipe said before, but now they had their eyes widened in disbelief after they heard what followed.

They looked over to where he was looking and saw Nevaeh who was standing there like a deer in headlights.

Nevaeh’s expression changed. However, she did not stomp her feet in anger but instead remained her usual pitiful saint-like image. “Mr. Waldburg, even though you’re Kendrick’s uncle, how can you accuse me like that? When have I ever stolen someone else’s belongings?”

“You’re the one who stole Mrs. Langford’s bracelet back then. After that, you shifted the blame onto Niamh.” Felipe then slowly recounted what had happened back then. “A lot of the guests who attended the party back then are here as well. I believe that they still remember that incident. After that, you posted what happened online and made such a huge fuss. Niamh suffered so much because of that. She even had to bear so many insults and accusations.”

“Nonsense!” Eloise interrupted him angrily. “Felipe, what are you talking about? How could my daughter do such a thing? You’re accusing my daughter unjustly in front of so many people. I won’t let this matter go so easily!”

“Mom…” Nevaeh stood next to Eloise while looking extremely aggrieved. “I really have no idea what my future uncle-in-law is talking about. I’ve never done anything like that!”

“Felipe, are you trying to reopen old wounds just because your fiancée looks like Niamh?” Kendrick’s mother walked over and started siding with Nevaeh.

At this moment, Felipe’s eyes darkened. There was a coldness in his thin eyes. “You’re right. I’m here to reopen old wounds indeed. But I’m not doing this just for the sake of it, I’m doing this to prove Niamh’s innocence.”

Nevaeh could not hold back her laugh after she heard that. “Mr. Waldburg, so you’re insisting on wrongly accusing me of something I didn’t do?”

“You’ll know who’s the one accusing who after you watch this video.”

Everyone was curious after they heard this.

Nevaeh trembled as the confidence and arrogance that was on her face previously froze instantly.

‘Video?

‘What video?

‘What is Felipe talking about?

‘Did someone capture the scene of me stealing the bracelet and blaming Niamh that night?

‘How is that possible?

‘If Felipe had that video, he would have uploaded it way earlier!’

As Nevaeh contemplated, she no longer felt as nervous as before. She smiled calmly.

“Felipe, don’t worry. A straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe. I didn’t do it, so I’m not afraid of any video you’re going to show!”

“Nevaeh, I believe you!” Eloise grabbed Nevaeh’s hand, her eyes filled with trust and love.
