Niamh averted her gaze in guilt. “Kendrick is busy.”
“He’s busy staying with his mistress, Nevaeh, huh?” Ava hit the nail on the head.
“Niamh. you’re so crazy about that man that you’ve become confused and disoriented.You’re in this state, and you’re still helping him.”
Niamh laughed at herself. “It’s all because I like him.”
“I think you won’t be able to like him for long.” Ava’s words were still straightforward. “Did you hear what the doctor said just now?”
Niamh was stunned once again. Ava looked at her, and she felt a lump form in her heart.
“You can have another child in the future. Your life is more important.”
Niamh laughed at herself. “There won’t be any.”
Ava looked at her in confusion. When she was about to say something. Niamh suddenly held her hand.
“Ava, don’t tell anyone about this. Especially, Kendrick.”
“Niamh. are you insane? Do you want to kill yourself for the child?”
Ava stood up emotionally. However, just as she was about to yell at Niamh, her phone’s custom ringtone rang.
Niamh was stunned. She looked at the caller ID and answered after a few seconds.
Kendrick’s was heard from the other end of the phone. “Niamh. are you doing this on purpose?”
The man’s accusations confused Niamh.
“If I don’t see you in the house in half an hour, you can forget about showing up ever again.”
Niamh finally remembered what Kendrick had told her the night before. Today was his mother’s 50th birthday. She had to go over as his wife.
When she was about to agree. Ava snatched her phone away. “Kendrick Waldburg. is this how a husband should behave? Don’t you know that your wife is…”
Niamh was scared that Ava would tell him about the tumor. so she snatched back the phone. “I’ll go over right now!” After she said that. she hung up the phone. She did not dare waste another second.
Ava was resentful toward Niamh for failing to meet her expectations. However. she had no choice. Before she sent Niamh into the cab. Ava reminded Niamh very sternly to take care of herself. Niamh nodded in agreement.
When Niamh arrived at Waldburg Manor. the party had already started. A lot of nicely- dressed socialites and wealthy women could be seen chatting in the garden. Since Niamh had come straight from the hospital, she was wearing a casual. grey outfit. She looked like she was from another world.
Thus. she lowered her head. Just as she was about to look for Kendrick. a woman tured around and bumped into her. The wine splashed out from the woman’s glass as she was passing by.
“My dress!” The woman exclaimed. She glared at Niamh angrily. “Cant you watch where you’re going? Are you blind? How can the Waldburgs have such an insensible maid like you?”
The woman’s shrill accusations attracted a lot of people’s stares. Nevertheless, Niamh tried to remain polite. “Madam, you’re the one who bumped into me just now. Plus, I’m not the Waldburgs’ maid.”
The woman was stunned. Then. she looked at Niamh’s outfit. A smile of disdain appeared on her elegant face. “You don’t look like a maid at all. You look more like a beggar from the streets.”
Subsequently. sniggers were heard from one side. Nevertheless, Niamh did not want to argue with her anymore. However, just as she was about to leave, she saw Nevaeh walking over.
She was dressed to the nines and had nice makeup on her face. When she saw Niamh. She displayed a shocked expression. “Oh, it’s you. Niamh.”
When the woman heard what Nevaeh had said. she looked at Niamh in contempt. “Mrs.
Waldburg. you know this stupid beggar?”
Niamh was stunned. This woman thought Nevaeh was Kendrick’s wife. However, it was obvious that Nevaeh was not going to correct her. On the contrary. she gave the woman a smile.
“Mrs. Langford. please just let this go for my sake.”
“Since Mrs. Waldburg has said the word, I’ll just let it go.” The woman looked at Niamh in agitation. “Watch where you’re going next time!”
Niamh was about to tell her who she was, but Nevaeh stopped her and grabbed her arm with a concerned expression on her face. “Niamh. are you okay? Are you hurt?”
Niamh looked at her pretentious face and felt disgusted. Nonetheless, as she was about to walk away, someone grabbed her arm.
“Don’t go yet!” It was that woman from just now. and she was furious. “No wonder you ran into me on purpose. You wanted to steal my bracelet!”
How weird. Niamh felt that it was preposterous. On the other hand. Nevaeh quickly ran over to explain on her behalf, “Mrs. Langford. this has to be a mistake. Niamh once had the habit of pocketing things that did not belong to her, but she has changed now.”
It did not sound like an explanation at all. Instead, it sounded like proof that Niamh was indeed a thief.
The accusations became louder and louder around them. Niamh was worried that it would ruin the Waldburgs’ reputation, so she explained, “I’ve never stolen anything!”
“If it wasn’t you, then who was it?” The woman was sure that it was Niamh. “My bracelet must be on you right now! Do you dare let me search you?”
Niamh knew that she was innocent, so it was fine if she wanted to search her. However, at this moment, Nevaeh quickly walked over and touched Niamh’s pocket. “Mrs. Langford, I think this is just a misunderstanding. Niamh has changed. She wouldn’t steal again…”
Before she finished saying that. her expression changed.
Then. she looked at Niamh in disappointment before taking out an expensive bracelet from Niamh’s front pocket.
“Niamh. I didn’t think you’d do this.”
Niamh was shocked. She had not taken anything from anyone, but they had found that bracelet in her pocket.
“You’re indeed the one who stole my bracelet, you beggar!” The woman took out her phone to call the cops.
Niamh started to feel anxious. Today was Kendrick’s mother’s 50th birthday party. If her daughter-in- law was sent to the police based on accusations that she was a thief. it would affect the reputation of the Waldburgs greatly. It was fine that she be falsely accused, but the
Waldburgs’ reputation was more important.
More and more guests gathered around them. At this moment, Nevaeh looked extremely disappointed. “Niamh, I know that ever since you were a kid. you never saw anything good.
That’s why you have the habit of pocketing things. However. how could you do it at a time like this?”
“I didn’t!”
Niamh explained again. but no one believed her.
She suddenly remembered that Nevaeh had deliberately tried to get close to her just now and immediately came to a realization.
Nevaeh was the one that had planted the bracelet on her!
At the same time. the woman had already called the cops. After a while, the cops arrived.
They were going to take Niamh to make a statement at the station.
Niamh was about to be taken away. At this moment, a poised woman walked over to Mrs.
Langford and mumbled something in her ear.
Immediately. Mrs. Langford’s expression changed. She looked at Niamh in disbelief and then said that it was all a misunderstanding.
