Karen looked embarrassed. Then, she said, “You can get remarried after you get a divorce, so what’s the big deal? Also, I don’t dislike her. I just don’t want to pay attention to her.”
“Is that so?” The maid found that hard to believe.
Nevaeh was stunned when she heard that.
What was going on with Karen?
She hated Niamh so much, but why was she siding with her now?
Plus, did she just say that Niamh would remarry Kendrick?
Nevaeh would not allow this to happen!
“Mrs. Waldburg,” Nevaeh grinned and called out to Karen.
Karen turned her head and saw Nevaeh.
When she saw the bandages on Nevaeh’s face and the wound on her forehead, Karen realized that the woman who got disfigured from the news that day was Felicity.
However, she was curious as to why Yvonne would beat Felicity up.
The two of them did not know each other nor had any interactions.
“Mrs. Waldburg, I’m so sorry. I wanted to come to see you a few days ago, but my face…” Nevaeh touched her face sadly.
“Mrs. Waldburg, I didn’t think that your niece would have such a grudge against Kendrick’s ex-wife, Niamh. She mistook me as Niamh and tortured me to no end.”
“So that’s what happened…” Karen understood immediately.
“Mrs. Waldburg, these are the skincare products I bought for you. I hope you’ll like them.” Nevaeh knew Karen liked these, so she intentionally went up to curry favors with her.
Karen wanted to accept them, but after some hesitation, she declined. “Felicity, I know you’re a good girl, but Kendrick still has his ex-wife in his mind. Plus, they have a son together as well. If Kendrick really wants to get back together with Niamh, for the sake of my grandson, I won’t say anything to stop them.”
What?
Were they really going to remarry?
How could Nevaeh accept this? She was seething when she heard Karen say, “Actually, Niamh isn’t that bad. At least she was willing to save me when I was kidnapped by Yvonne.”
Nevaeh finally understood what was going on. No wonder Karen had changed her view on Niamh. It was because of this!
Nevaeh rolled her eyes and pretended to sigh. “Mrs. Waldburg, I don’t know if I should tell you something.”
Karen was curious. “What? Just tell me.”
“Mrs. Waldburg, I’m not aware of some of the things, but Yvonne told me the truth when she mistook me as Niamh.”
“What truth?” Karen asked.
Nevaeh looked angry. “Yvonne and Niamh worked together to kidnap you last time.
“Niamh didn’t want to save you. She knew nothing would happen to her, so she pretended to risk her life for you. As for why Yvonne despised Niamh and wanted to kill her, it’s all because she knew that Niamh was just using her. Yvonne told me all of this when she thought that I was Niamh.”
“What?” Karen leaped up abruptly. “Are you telling the truth?”
“Why would I lie to you, Mrs. Waldburg?” Nevaeh frowned, looking aggrieved. “Just look at my face and the wound on my forehead, then you’ll know that I’m telling the truth.”
Karen lifted her head to look at Nevaeh. A second later, her expression darkened.
“That b*tch! I knew she wouldn’t be so kind!” Karen was already biased toward Niamh, so she was easily swayed.
Nevaeh felt pleased with herself but kept an innocent look on her face. “Actually, Mrs. Waldburg, just think about it. Niamh hates you so much, so why would she save you? If you were Niamh, would you save a person who’s always going against you?”
Karen stood in Niamh’s shoes, her face darkening even more. She blurted out before thinking, “If I were Niamh, I wouldn’t save such a horrible mother-in-law!”
“…”
Nevaeh almost burst out laughing when she saw Karen scolding herself.
Karen felt awkward for a few seconds. Then, she started screaming angrily, “I told you that Niamh wanted me dead! How would she risk her life to save me? I knew there was an ulterior motive behind this!”
Just earlier, she had a good impression of Niamh but now, it was completely gone because of Nevaeh’s instigation.
Nevaeh knew Karen’s personality well after spending all those years with her. She could take Karen down easily after some gifts and instigation.
Now, it was obvious that this was the case.
After Nevaeh left, Karen left the house hurriedly. Inside the custodial ward, Karen saw Yvonne who was covered heavily in bandages—including her face.
“You didn’t want to live your life properly, so you’re the one who did this to yourself!” Karen scolded angrily, “Tell me, did you work with Niamh to kidnap me? She bribed you and was just purposely putting on a show for me, huh? You did that because you hate me!”
Even though Yvonne did not know why Karen was saying that, since she was already in this state, she decided to frame Niamh again.
“That’s right, I did work together with her! You dumb*ss! If not, do you think she’d really save you with the ransom? Do you remember her slapping you that day? Niamh told me herself that she had so much fun slapping you!”
“You…” Karen was fuming. Then, she left as Yvonne cackled sinisterly.
After she got home, Karen threw all of the food she prepared for Niamh into the trash can.
The maid was confused. She then heard Karen mumbling angrily to herself. “Niamh, you b*tch. I thought you saved me because you care about me. It turns out you’re just using that as an excuse to beat around the bush to prank and slap me!”
Niamh arrived with Jackson when she heard Karen scolding her the moment she stepped into the house.
If it were not for Jackson who said that it had been a long time since he ate dinner with his father, Niamh would not have come over either.
When Karen saw Niamh, she pointed at her and shrieked, “Niamh, you’re so heinous! I was almost fooled by you!”
Niamh was puzzled. When she was about to say something, Jackson walked in front of her with a frown on his face.
“Granny, you can’t talk about my mommy like that.”
“Am I wrong? Your mother is an evil and heinous low-life!”
Niamh smiled calmly. “The least you can do is tell me what I’ve done if you want to yell at me.”
“You know what you’ve done! Niamh, I’m telling you, don’t even think about getting back with Kendrick as long as I’m around!”
“What nonsense are you spewing again?” Kendrick walked downstairs and looked at Karen in agitation. Then, he walked to Niamh. “Nia, you’re here.”
“I’m leaving now.”
Niamh’s straightforward answer caused the light in Kendrick’s eyes to go out.
“Jack will stay and I’ll come to get him later. I’m not gonna disturb you in case someone loses their appetite from looking at me.”
“Niamh, are you making insinuations at me?” Karen asked furiously.
Niamh ignored her and walked away.
Kendrick’s eyes darkened. “Are you happy now that Nia’s gone?”
His tone was frigid, and his eyes were even colder than his voice. “Nia risked her life to save you when you were kidnapped last time. It’s fine that you didn’t thank her, but now you even want to target her! I’m really doubting whether you’re my birth mother.”
“…” Karen was furious and frantic. “You even want me to thank her? Do you know that she slapped me and yelled at me that day? I would’ve been fooled by her if I didn’t have a brain!”
Kendrick felt that he did not have anything in him to argue with Karen anymore.
He grabbed Jackson’s hand. “Jack, I’ll bring you for a nice dinner outside.”
“Will Mommy come with us?” Jackson looked expectant.
Kendrick frowned. He had told Jackson to convince Niamh to come over for dinner tonight. However, it was all ruined now.
He tried to call Niamh, but she rejected all of his calls.
“Jack, Mommy has something to take care of, so I’ll accompany you today.” He smiled gently. “Right, where’s your sister?”
“She’s with the other granny.”
Kendrick pondered for a while before taking Jackson to Montgomery Manor.
Eloise was troubled when she heard that Kendrick wanted to take Lillian out. She had no idea that Lillian was Kendrick’s child as well.
However, Lillian was fond of Kendrick. She even hugged his leg voluntarily as she called out sweetly, “Handsome Mister, hold me!”
Kendrick was delighted. He carried the soft little girl and pecked her on the cheek.
Eloise saw genuine love and affection from Kendrick’s eyes, so she did not turn him down.
Kendrick brought the siblings to the best and the most extravagant restaurant in Glendale.
