Chapter 41 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

After she said that, Kendrick put his hand around Niamh’s neck.

In that instant, Niamh lost the freedom to breathe freely.

“Niamh, say that again. Do you trust that I’ll strangle you to death right now?” Kendrick ground his teeth. His solemn eyes were staring at Niamh like he was about to devour her.

Niamh’s face was red, but she did not plead for mercy. “I’m going to say this anyway. Nevaeh Delgado is a first-class two-faced b*tch who pretends to be innocent and pure!”

Even though she was having difficulties breathing, Niamh’s every word was powerful and resounding. Her eyes were staring into that man’s terrifyingly icy gaze like torches. “Kendrick, I can swear with my life that I only had one man before and that’s you. However, Nevaeh has had so many boyfriends that you can’t even count all of them with all ten of your fingers.

“The child she had three years ago wasn’t your child, but you insisted on trusting her. You even sacrificed our child because of the miscarriage she orchestrated.”

When she said this, Niamh felt as if there was an invisible knife slicing across her heart.

She sobbed as tears escaped her eyes.

Kendrick looked dazed. He let go of Niamh all of a sudden.

“Cough, cough…” Niamh gasped for air. She saw Kendrick’s gloomy and cold gaze from the corner of her eyes. She took a deep breath and said, “Kendrick, you can go and investigate what I said just now.”

“Hmph.” Kendrick snorted. “Do you think I’ll believe the words of a woman who did time in prison before?”

Niamh smiled sarcastically. “If I’m lying, I’ll die a horrible death.”

“Then you should just drop dead.” Kendrick cursed with no mercy.

Niamh felt as if her heart was frozen and it was extremely cold.

Kendrick opened the car door. “Scram.”

He left her on the side of the road once more. In addition to that, it was raining.

He did not even look at Niamh. Then, he turned his steering wheel before speeding away.

She recalled what he said to her before she got out of the car. Then, Niamh balled herself up and squatted down on the side of the road in pain and exhaustion. Her face was as white as snow.

Huge raindrops fell mercilessly on her weakening body. Her body was cold and so was her heart.

When she was about to lose consciousness, Niamh saw a silver car stopping in front of her. After that, a man approached her with a black umbrella.

Niamh saw a pair of expensive black leather shoes and a pair of long, lean legs. She lifted her head, and in her dazed state, she vaguely saw a familiar face before she passed out.

When Niamh regained consciousness, she realized that she was in the hospital. Ava was staying next to her.

Ava saw that she was awake but she still was not relieved. “Niamh, don’t you know the condition of your body? Why did you go out in the rain and got yourself into this situation?”

Niamh saw that Ava was on the brink of tears. Her eyes were red and the corner of her lips was twitching.

“I’m awake now, aren’t I?” Niamh smiled. However, she subconsciously felt that her body might have worsened. She did not want to think about it anymore.

She recalled how she had used her life to swear to Kendrick earlier. Perhaps her life was going to end soon, so that promise of dying a horrible death felt extremely hilarious and amusing to her now.

“Who sent me here?”

Niamh remembered what happened before she passed out. She vaguely remembered seeing a familiar face.

“I don’t know. The nurse said it was a very handsome and masculine man. Right, his voice sounded nice as well. He’s the one who called me to come here with your phone,” Ava said with a smile of interest on her face. She pushed Niamh’s shoulder. “Niamh, could he be your admirer?”

Niamh laughed in self-mockery. “How would a woman like me have any admirers?”

“What’s wrong with you? You’re so pretty and talented. You have men lining up for you. You’re just blinded by love and that’s why you’re still in love with that trash of a man.”

Was she still in love with Kendrick?

Niamh was still in a daze.

After resting for a few days, Niamh finally regained her energy.

Kendrick did not come to cause any trouble for her during this period.

Despite not having much time, Niamh did not want to give up on herself.

She had not avenged her daughter yet, so she would not allow herself to die so quickly. She submitted a lot of resumes and finally, one company called her for an interview.

Niamh valued this opportunity a lot, so she put on a set of simple office wear.

The company was located in the city center and was just one street away from Waldburg Corporation.

When Niamh reached the company, she did not expect Nevaeh to walk out. Perhaps she was going to meet Kendrick at Waldburg Corporation and decided to buy coffee on the way there. When she saw Niamh, her face fell.

“Niamh, you’re even cheaper than I imagined! You didn’t even let Old Master Waldburg off the hook! You must’ve drugged that old guy and that was why he was so defensive of you!”

Her words were hurtful, but Niamh did not want to argue with her here.

“Nevaeh, please watch your mouth. Do you think everyone is as cheap and heinous as you are? Grandpa is a smart man, so he saw through you a long time ago.”

“Pah!” Nevaeh was furious. “Niamh, you b*tch! You made yourself seem so innocent. If you hadn’t talked bad about me and insulted my past in front of that old thing and Kendrick, then why would Kendrick want to investigate my past all of a sudden?”

This was beyond Niamh’s expectations. It seemed that Kendrick had actually listened to her.

“Don’t feel so pleased with yourself, Niamh. Let me tell you, Kendrick won’t find anything about all those things you said!” Nevaeh gritted her teeth and shrieked. Despite her talking like she was prepared for this, Niamh felt that Kendrick was starting to suspect Nevaeh when she saw her on the brink of explosion. If not, why would she react like this?

“You b*tch!” she yelled at Niamh angrily. After a moment, she looked at Niamh’s outfit, then back at the company in front of her. “Tch, are you looking for a job? I want to see who dares to hire you!”

As Nevaeh said that, she flung her right hand and splashed the piping hot coffee on Niamh.

When Niamh thought that she would be unable to dodge away, a tall and slender figure appeared in front of her.

Niamh’s coffee was splashed onto that man’s neatly ironed suit and shirt.

It happened so quickly that Niamh and Nevaeh were both shocked.

“Miss, I can sue you for assault just by your action of splashing hot coffee on someone else,” the man said. His voice was deep and mellow, like red wine to the ears. His demeanor was not like anyone else.

Nevaeh looked at the man’s face before saying arrogantly after she came back to her senses, “Tch! Are you trying to scare me? So what if I assaulted her? I was going to assault this b*tch. Why did you step in all of a sudden?”

“Miss Delgado is my official employee. As her superior, I have the responsibility to protect my staff.”

When Niamh heard this, she was beyond shocked.

When she was about to say something, her eyes met the man’s bottomless eyes. She was taken aback as she felt that he looked very familiar.

“Haha.” Nevaeh laughed savagely. “You dare to hire this woman? Don’t you know who she is? She’s that plagiarizing b*tch everyone in Glendale is after! None of the jewelry companies dare to hire her. If they do, they’ll be going against the Waldburgs and the Montgomeries!”

The man was indifferent to Nevaeh’s threats. “The Montgomeries? The Waldburgs? You should just wait for the letter from my lawyer. I’ll definitely get to the bottom of you trying to assault someone else.”

After he said that calmly, he looked at Niamh. “Come with me.”

Niamh looked at Nevaeh who had a shocked expression on her face before following the man.

Nevaeh did not expect to be taught a lesson. She threw the coffee cup on the floor and ran to complain to Kendrick.

Niamh looked at the man next to her when they were in the elevator.

He was tall and had very nice features. He had the air of a noble and approachable tyrant.

Niamh contemplated for a while before saying, “Thank you for helping me again.” This man was the person who had sent her to the hospital that day. She was certain of it.
