Oh no!
That woman had heard them!
Nevaeh was like a shocked bunny when she saw Niamh. She retracted her hand that had been reaching out to Eloise while feeling disturbed. “Go away! Go away now! I don’t want to see you! Go away!”
Eloise and Sean glared at Niamh who had appeared out of nowhere when they saw Nevaeh’s reaction. “What are you doing here? What else do you want to do to my darling child? Get lost! Scram!”
With a smile, Niamh walked up to them regardless of Eloise and Sean’s glares that were full of resentment toward her.
“You b*tch! Why are you still here? Will you only be happy if you see Nevaeh dead?” Rose chased Niamh away as well. She was worried that Niamh would expose their conversation that day.
However, Niamh would not leave. She looked at Nevaeh calmly before looking at Rose in amusement. “Why do you want to chase me away so hurriedly? Are you worried that I’ll expose you?”
“…” Rose trembled while Nevaeh’s pupils constricted suddenly. When she wanted to change the topic, she saw Eloise escaping from Sean’s grip and charging toward Niamh with intense wrath.
“You evil woman! Not only do you look like Niamh, but what you’re doing also shows that you’re just as despicable as she was! Are you insisting on bullying my daughter? Do you think she doesn’t have parents? As her mother, I’m going to tell you now that she’s loved by both of her parents!”
After Eloise said that furiously, she lifted her hand to slap Niamh.
Niamh lifted her hand to grab Eloise’s wrist. She looked into her eyes. “Are you sure you want to hit me?” She asked softly. Eloise looked into Niamh’s eyes. For some reason, she felt an ache in her heart. She was slightly taken aback.
Looking at Eloise’s reaction, Niamh scoffed sarcastically. “I can confidently tell you what I heard this woman say in the hospital the other day. She said your and Mr. Montgomery’s actual biological daughter has been dead since three years ago!”
After Niamh said that, the air around them froze instantly. The only sound that could be heard was the autumn wind howling on the roof. It was blowing past their faces again and again.
Eloise’s expression changed as she looked at Niamh in disbelief. “W-What did you say? What did you just say?”
Sean also strode toward Niamh at this moment. He was looking at her with a questioning gaze. “What nonsense are you spewing? My biological daughter is here. She’s well and alive! How can you curse her by saying that she’s been dead for three years?!”
Niamh smiled sarcastically before letting go of Eloise’s hand. “I’m not cursing your precious daughter. I’m just repeating what was said,” she said calmly while pointing at Rose.
“I heard her saying this with my own two ears. She said your daughter has been dead since three years ago.”
“What?”
Eloise and Sean looked at Rose in disbelief.
“Nonsense!” Rose denied. Despite feeling frantic, she did not show it. “Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery, don’t be fooled by this woman. I’ve never said such things!”
“Vera Quinn, why are you slandering my adoptive mother? What do you want? Are you saying that I’m not my parents’ biological daughter? Are you trying to push me to my death by saying that?” Nevaeh yelled emotionally.
When Rose saw this, she said frantically, “Nevaeh, don’t be emotional. Come down now. If anything happens to you, Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery will be so upset.”
When Eloise and Sean heard that, they looked at Nevaeh worriedly. On the other hand, Nevaeh shook her head with a sad and dispirited look on her face. “Mom, Dad, do you believe this woman’s words? Do you think I’m not your biological daughter? Is that why you don’t care about me anymore? Alright, fine…”
She laughed bitterly while feeling like all hope was lost. “Kendrick is ignoring me and you don’t care about me anymore. So why should I keep on living…”
Nevaeh turned around after she said that. She took a step closer to the edge.
“Nevaeh! No! I believe you! Why wouldn’t I believe you and instead believe someone else?” Eloise screamed. Her face had turned pale from fear.
“You silly child! Why wouldn’t we care about you? Don’t do anything stupid!” Sean yelled to try and stop her. His voice was thick with worry. He was also petrified.
Niamh’s heart went cold when she saw Eloise and Sean’s reactions.
They would still choose to believe Nevaeh even after she had told them the truth.
Her pink lips were tugged into a smile as she laughed in self-mockery.
‘Maybe it’s my face that’s making me look so untrustworthy, be it back then or in the present.’
“Vera Quinn, stop inciting disharmony! Get out of here now! If anything happens to my daughter, I’ll never forgive you!” Eloise yelled with anger in her eyes, “Scram!”
Niamh looked into Eloise’s enraged eyes. Although she was smiling softly, she did not leave and instead, walked closer to Nevaeh.
“Stop!” Sean roared at her. His tone was strict when he said, “If you dare to trigger my baby, I’ll make you regret this!”
After he finished saying that, Niamh stopped. She looked at the pretentious Nevaeh with her beautiful eyes.
“Nevaeh, your acting skills are so good. It’s such a waste that you didn’t go into showbiz.”
Nevaeh widened her red eyes aggrievedly. “Vera, w-what do you mean?”
“Don’t you understand what I’m saying?” Niamh scoffed and questioned, “Don’t you want to jump? Hurry up. Don’t waste our time.”
“What did you say, you b*tch?” Rose was the first one to run forward. “Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery, look at this woman! She’s so evil! She’s provoking Nevaeh so that she’ll jump!”
“Vera Quinn!” Eloise yanked Niamh’s arm furiously. “Vera Quinn, you witch! You’re just as cruel as Niamh!”
“If Niamh is a witch, then what about your precious daughter?” Niamh could not help but snort. “She worked with an outsider to kidnap her own son and pushed the blame to Niamh. Did you forget about that? In order to make Kendrick hate Niamh, she stole someone’s bracelet and framed her as the thief. Did you also forget about that? Mrs. Montgomery, just ask yourself, who’s the real witch here?”
“You…” Eloise was speechless after she was talked back to like this.
“I didn’t. I didn’t do those things…” Nevaeh quibbled while crying. She bit her lip aggrievedly, looking extremely pitiful right now. “Vera Quinn, why do you want to slander me? You’ve already successfully incited disharmony between me and Kendrick. Plus, you’ve even disfigured me. Will you only be happy after I’m dead? Alright, I’ll fulfill your wishes. I’m going to jump now!”
“No, Nevaeh!”
“Nevaeh!”
Eloise and Sean stopped her frantically. However, Niamh only scoffed in disdain.
“Alright, hurry up. Stop dilly-dallying.” Niamh smiled as she looked at the changes in Nevaeh’s expression. “Nevaeh, jump. What are you waiting for?”
“You…”
