Chapter 130 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

‘However, after leaving you, I realize I’m still able to soar without you. I can live an even better life without you.

‘Kendrick, the ex-wife who you despise is back, but now, she doesn’t love you anymore…’

Half an hour later, Niamh walked gracefully to the room Nevaeh was staying in. She heard cackling from inside the room. If she was not mistaken, that was Rose’s voice.

“Oh, Nevaeh, you’re so smart!” Rose praised. “You set such a perfect trap for that btch! Say, do you think that woman deserves it? It’s fine that she looks the same as that btch Niamh, but she even wants to steal Kendrick from you! I think she doesn’t want to live anymore.”

“Hmph!” Nevaeh snorted arrogantly. “Who does that Vera think she is? She’s just the founder of a stupid brand. So what? Does she think she can compete with my current status?”

“Of course! You’re one of the young ladies from the four major rich families in Glendale! How can that woman compete with you?” Rose could not hide her delight anymore. “The Montgomeries are also idiots! They’ve never suspected you even once and have no idea that their precious daughter has died three years ago! Haha…”

“Hmph, how can those people fight against me with their peanut brains?” Nevaeh said while feeling pleased with herself. “The person I need to take down now is that b*tch, Vera Quinn. Everyone’s yelling at her online now. I’ll hire some haters to add fuel to the fire later. I think Miss L.ady will be bankrupt soon. I want to see what she’s going to do then!”

“Haha…”

After Niamh heard Nevaeh’s confident words and Rose’s cackle, Niamh strode over and pushed open the door of the room. Then, she walked in gracefully.

“You want to see what I’ll do? I think you should worry about yourself.”

They would have never expected the person who they were plotting against to appear in front of them all of a sudden. Nevaeh and Rose’s laughter stopped abruptly. Their equally hideous faces were filled with shock as they stared at Niamh who had just walked in.

“You! Who told you to come in? How long were you standing out there? What did you hear?” Rose stood up with a woosh and pointed at Niamh as she questioned her angrily.

Nevaeh did not say anything. She just widened her eyes and sized Niamh up.

Niamh quirked her eyebrow and smiled. “Why? Did you say something you shouldn’t have and you’re scared that I’ll find out?”

“…” Rose’s expression changed. She averted her gaze slightly. “You…”

“If I’m not wrong, you must be Niamh’s adoptive mother. Tsk tsk, your adopted daughter has been completely tainted by you. I was wondering how a graceful and elegant woman like Mrs. Montgomery would have such a heinous and vile daughter like Nevaeh.”

“W-What did you say?” Rose was furious. She ran over to Niamh while baring her teeth, about to hit her.

Niamh reached out her hand calmly and grabbed Rose’s wrist. Her gaze became piercing. “You have the exact same shrewish attitude. If people didn’t know, they’d think that you’re Nevaeh’s true biological mother.”

After Nevaeh and Rose heard this, their expressions changed.

“Vera Quinn, shut up!”

Nevaeh could not control herself from shrieking and threatening her.

There was no one else here, so she did not hesitate to show her true colors.

She lifted her blanket and got out of bed. With narrowed eyes, she said, “Vera, since you have time to argue with me here, why don’t you think of a way to solve what’s going on online?”

Nevaeh crossed her arms over her chest arrogantly and laughed. “I told you. You won’t get a happy ending if you insist on going against me. Since you want to steal my man from me, then I’ll fulfill your wishes. I’ll let you become the mistress who everyone online spits on!”

Slap!

After Nevaeh said that, Niamh slapped her across her face heavily without hesitating.

“Ah!” Nevaeh wailed in pain. She clutched her swollen cheek in shock.

After recovering from the shock, Rose heard Niamh talking when she was about to yell at her.

“This slap is to wake you up from your fantasy. Stop daydreaming in broad daylight. Look closely and tell me who’s the one who should clean up their mess.”

“You…” Nevaeh widened her eyes. When she wanted to slap Niamh back, she saw her raising her phone and clicking open a video.

The video was playing the scene from when they were in the cafe. However, the only difference in this video was that it was recorded from Niamh’s point of view.

This meant that Niamh had also taken a video that day. She even recorded Nevaeh during the entire process.

This included her face and her voice. Her malevolent face, when she pointed at Niamh as she threatened and yelled at her, was also captured in the video.

After watching this video, Nevaeh’s pleased grin from a few minutes ago cracked instantly.

Her face was pale. After being at a loss for more than ten seconds, she reached out her hand to snatch the phone away from Niamh.

Niamh dodged away from her easily. There was a cold and confident smile on her charming face. “What do you think you can do with my phone now? I’ve already uploaded this video before I came in. I think those netizens should know the truth by now.”

“What…”

“Those people who cursed and insulted me on Twitter should be doing the same to you at this very moment.”

“…”

“Nevaeh, you didn’t expect this, right? Your plan has come back and bitten you in the butt. Are you surprised?”

“…” Nevaeh’s face turned green and red simultaneously. She was extremely embarrassed at this point.

At this moment, notifications blasted from her phone. One after another, trending tweets invaded her entire screen.

When Nevaeh glanced at the screen, she was livid.

“Vera Quinn, how dare you plot against me, you b*tch?!” Nevaeh cracked. Her weak and vulnerable exterior from the video she took was completely gone.

She glowered and gnashed her teeth as she grabbed a fruit knife on the bedside table. She was about to slash the knife across Niamh’s face. On one side, Rose was not stopping her at all. She was hoping that Nevaeh could teach this annoying woman a lesson.

When she saw the knife approaching her, Niamh recalled the two slashes Nevaeh left on her face back then. That scene resurfaced in her brain like a nightmare in the dark.

She came back to her senses quickly and dodged away from the shiny blade in a haste.

“Stop hiding, you b*tch!” A fire of rage was burning in Nevaeh’s chest. She lifted the fruit knife again. “Let me tell you, Vera Quinn. This is how I disfigured Niamh back then. If you dare to cross me again, I’ll let you get a taste of that pain she felt!”

Niamh quickly ran away from her. However, Rose had come over to grab her.

Nevaeh grinned predatorily with redness in her eyes. Her face was sinister and violent, looking exactly like a blood-thirsty demon when she inhumanely swung the knife down on Niamh…

“Watch out!”

During this life or death situation, Niamh heard a worried voice coming from behind her back.

Kendrick quickly ran in front of her and pulled her into his arms. He protected her with one hand, and with the other, he grabbed Nevaeh’s wrist that was holding the fruit knife.

He raised his piercing and icy gaze to look at Nevaeh’s sinister and horrifying face.

“Do you know what you’re doing?” he asked. His tone and attitude had never been so cold before.

Nevaeh was stunned and Rose was also taken aback. They did not expect Kendrick to appear at this moment.

“J-Kendrick?” Nevaeh was stupefied. When she was about to explain, her hand was pushed away by Kendrick roughly.

She lost her balance and staggered backward.

She crashed into a cupboard behind her. She reached for the wall to steady herself, but she forgot that she was holding the fruit knife. As a result, the sharp blade slashed across her cheek, and immediately, her flesh was split open.

However, she did not notice it as she was looking at Niamh who was being sheltered in Kendrick’s arms in disbelief.

How was that possible?

How was that even possible?

She had to be seeing things!

It was impossible!

Kendrick hated this face the most! This was the face that looked exactly the same as Niamh’s!

Even though it was beautiful, in Kendrick’s eyes, it was the most hideous face in the world.

Niamh did not expect Kendrick to appear just in time when she was being harmed by Nevaeh and her mother.

His tight embrace was filled with the warmth that she craved back then. This warmth was enveloping her thin frame right this moment.

“It’s fine now. You don’t have to be scared,” Kendrick whispered gently in Niamh’s ear when he detected her fear.

Niamh was taken aback. She could feel Kendrick’s warm breath gliding across her cheek. His comforting words were filled with so much gentleness and concern that she had never experienced before.

It seemed that he was truly concerned about her.

“Kendrick!” At this moment, Nevaeh screamed in pain.

“Kendrick, how can you hold that woman? You told me that I’m the only woman you’ll protect in this lifetime!” She shrieked without caring about her image. Her voice was extremely shrill.

Kendrick lifted his head coldly. When he was about to say something, his expression changed when he saw Nevaeh’s face.

Nevaeh thought Kendrick was feeling sorry for her. When she was about to play the victim, she saw Rose pointing at her face while screaming, “Nevaeh! Y-Your face!”

Nevaeh looked at Rose in confusion. She reached to touch her face. “What’s wrong with my face?”

Nevaeh touched her face in horror. When she felt a warm and sticky liquid running down her cheek, her pupils constricted. “Blood! There’s so much blood! My face!”

She looked at her bloody palm and screamed. Her face was much paler now that she was losing blood profusely.
