Chapter 163 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

“Oh, there’s one more thing. Those hoodlums also have the habit of recording every time they make a transaction. So, do you want me to play the recording now for everyone present?”

“…” Nevaeh widened her eyes in shock, her face looking pale.

The guests who had just said they would support Nevaeh in denouncing Niamh were already staring at her angrily.

Who would have thought that plot would reverse like this!

They had said they wanted to support Nevaeh, but this was really a slap in the face. They had almost wronged the innocent.

Niamh looked at the scene around her with satisfaction and chuckled. “Nevaeh, do you still dare say that you’re the victim?”

“…”

“For the sake of your relationship, Kendrick was willing to sacrifice his friend, me, by wanting to help you. But you just don’t know what’s good or bad for you. You just had to unite with your good mother to condemn me and Kendrick on such an occasion. Are you satisfied with the result?”

As Niamh spoke, she looked at Eloise and Mrs. Waldburg who looked embarrassed and shocked.

“Mrs. Montgomery, Mrs. Waldburg, what now? Do you still want to look into this? Do you want to call the police? Or do you want me to call the police for you?”

“…”

“…”

Nevaeh never expected things to develop like this.

She pressed her lips together as she stared at Niamh fiercely with her eyes.

Feeling the suspicious and angry gazes around her, Nevaeh was panicking, but she did not know how to step down.

“Young Master Waldburg, Miss Vera, please don’t accuse Nevaeh. She’s innocent!”

Suddenly, Rose emerged from who knew where.

She cried and ran over to Niamh while kneeling down. She pulled on Niamh’s long skirt with both hands.

“I did it all, I did it all. It has nothing to do with Nevaeh. She doesn’t know anything!”

Rose was crying, still clutching onto Niamh’s skirt desperately.

The skirt was a one-shoulder and it was pulled on by Rose until it had almost fallen off.

Niamh subconsciously covered her chest with her handbag and said coldly, “Let go.”

However, Rose did not listen and kept crying. “Miss Vera, if you have to blame someone, blame me. It was all my own idea. I hired the four hoodlums to kidnap you! Nevaeh wanted to stop me and that’s why she went to the waste paper factory. I’m the one who harmed you and also Nevaeh. If you want to blame someone, please blame me!”

While Rose was crying, she gave Niamh’s dress a vehement tug. With a swish, Rose tore down Niamh’s skirt.

Kendrick took off his suit jacket with lightning speed and put it over Niamh’s body.

His cold, dark eyes pierced through Rose. “Did you not hear her when she told you to let go? Get lost.”

Kendrick kicked Rose’s hand away unhappily, and in the next second, he hugged Niamh in front of everyone.

Nevaeh watched this scene in shock, unable to believe that Kendrick was treating Vera like this.

He had never gotten so angry in front of others before, but today, he did it for Vera. He was breaking his usually regal and noble visage.

“Kendrick, you heard what Rose said. Nevaeh is the victim. She’s innocent!” Eloise suddenly emphasized. She would rather believe Rose’s explanation than Nevaeh’s despicableness.

“Aren’t you going to hurry up and let go of that woman? Where is Nevaeh’s place in this?”

Of course, Kendrick would not let Niamh go. Instead, he hugged her even tighter and glanced at the woman in his arms softly.

“I will never let go of this woman in my life. As for your daughter, I’ve already canceled my engagement with her. Don’t make me repeat it.”

As Kendrick spoke with such a leisurely tone, he hugged Niamh and turned directly into the house.

Eloise watched this scene dumbly, gritting her teeth with anger.

This scene was so offending, hateful, and embarrassing for Nevaeh!

Kendrick had completely denied their marriage in front of so many people, even publicly announcing his determination for Vera.

How could this be tolerated?

Kendrick hugged Niamh as they went directly to his room here.

Although he rarely came back to live here, there was always someone who cleaned the room. Niamh smelled a familiar fragrance as soon as she entered.

It was the aromatherapy kit she had personally blended. It had the effect of calming and aiding with sleep.

Mr. Waldburg had gotten someone to buy two boxes for Kendrick as he experienced problems sleeping.

Niamh put on her dress again in the bathroom. When she returned to the bedroom, she saw Kendrick standing in front of the windowsill.

He was wearing a clean and pressed white shirt. The warm autumn sun was shining on his handsome face. His quiet appearance at the moment reminded her of the first time she had seen him in college.

However, he was no longer the man of the past.

“Do you blame me for what transpired just now?” Niamh walked behind him, saying with difficulty.

Kendrick turned his head. His alluring, slender eyes were softened by the autumn wind. “Perhaps I shouldn’t have allowed you to suffer this grievance from the beginning. Otherwise, there would’ve been no such thing as what happened just now.”

Niamh smiled. “What are you saying? That you feel bad for me?”

The man looked at her eyes deeply. “Didn’t you feel sorry for me just now as well?”

His voice was very low and the magnetic sound slipped into her ears in an ambiguous manner.

Looking at her picturesque face in the sun, Kendrick could not help but stretch out his hand and brush his fingertips across the corners of her eyebrows.

The person in front of him was Vera, but as he looked into her eyes and deep into his heart, it was completely Niamh.

“I’ve stated my position just now. Do you have anything you want to say to me now?”

Niamh smiled as she looked at him. “Do you really want to marry me?”

“Are you willing to now?” he asked, his gaze looking lost.

She smiled and shook her head slightly. “I won’t marry a man who doesn’t love me.”

Kendrick got back to his sense and the smile between his eyebrows disappeared. “Will you still marry Felipe?”

“Have you forgotten about the good news that I wanted to tell you the other day? The good news is that my marriage with Felipe has been canceled.”

Kendrick’s sword-like eyebrows scrunched. “If you’re not marrying Felipe and you don’t want to marry me, what exactly are you planning?”

Niamh smiled with her eyebrows curved. In the corner of her vision, she caught a glimpse of a figure who was standing in the corner of the yard. She smiled and stretched out her hand to grab Kendrick’s slightly loose tie. Lifting up her beautiful face, her smile was bright and spirited. “I’m thinking if it’s because I grew up to look the same as Niamh which is why I’m also destined to fall in love with the same man as her.”

Her soft voice fell into his heart gently like cotton.

Kendrick’s eyes lit up. As he looked into those beautiful eyes that were as clear as water, his heartbeat sped up a little unconsciously. “Vera, are you really in love with me?”

Niamh pursed her lips and smiled, her intoxicating dimples blooming on the sides of her lips.

“Don’t you want me to fall in love with you? The truth is, you still love Nevaeh, right?” She pulled on his necktie with a hint of grievance in her eyes. “If this is the case, I’ll leave now and never see you again.”

Niamh pretended to be disappointed and let go of Kendrick’s necktie.

As soon as his neckline was loosened, Kendrick felt the warmth flowing away from his heart.

Seeing her turning around with disappointment in front of his eyes, he froze in a trance. It felt as if his heart was suddenly stabbed by an invisible needle.

“Don’t go.”

Kendrick grabbed Niamh’s wrist.

Niamh, who had not taken more than a step, stopped abruptly. At the back where Kendrick could not see, she quietly raised a triumphant smile.

It was just that she had not even enjoyed this victory for more than a few seconds before Kendrick suddenly used his force to bring her into his arms.
