“If you really want to save your son, come over.” Kendrick’s voice vibrated into Niamh’s ears coldly.
It turned out that he had answered the call.
“Kendrick, Jack is our son. Don’t hurt him.”
“Heh.” The man chuckled. “How could I have a son with you?”
His cold words caused her to have a deja vu, making her shiver down to her bones.
When she was still in a daze, Kendrick hung up the phone and sent an address. He specifically emphasized that she needed to go alone.
Niamh handed Lillian to the driver and scheduled a message to be sent before stopping a cab on the side of the road. She asked the taxi driver to drive her to the address sent by Kendrick.
After arriving at the destination, Niamh decisively got out of the car, but when she turned around, she found that there was a car following closely behind. The people in the car did not get out of the car even after some time.
There were no other houses around here and there was only a villa in front of her.
Niamh started walking over, and when she looked into the car, she saw Karen.
When Karen realized that Niamh had discovered her, she no longer hid. She got out of the car and pointed to the villa in front of her. “Eveline, is this the nest that you share with that wild man? You’re really shameless, you know that? Having a tryst when you’re this pregnant?! If you want to get with another man, end all connections you have with the Waldburg family before doing so! Don’t let Kendrick be the butt of the joke!”
Niamh was not in the mood to argue with Karen at that time, and they were in Lana’s territory. Now that Karen had followed her, not only would something bad happen, but even Karen might get in trouble.
Niamh decided to just agree. “Yes, I came here to have a tryst with a man. Are you sure you want to come in with me? Do you want to see what I do with him?”
“Eveline, you’re really shameless!” Karen was furious and raised her hand to hit Niamh. “I must teach a shameless b*tch like you a lesson on behalf of Kendrick!”
“I told you to come alone. Why did you bring another person?”
Suddenly, a man’s cold and unhappy voice came from the entrance of the villa.
Karen’s raised hand stiffened suddenly. She looked over at the sound and was completely stunned. In the next second… “J-Kendrick?!”
When Kendrick saw Karen who was in shock, he assumed that Karen thought that he was the man named Kendrick.
When Karen saw that Kendrick was safe and sound, her eyes turned red. After all, it was her own son. “Kendrick! Kendrick, it’s really you! It turns out that you’re still alive!”
Karen got emotional and started to run toward Kendrick.
Niamh grabbed Karen in a hurry. “Please, leave this place.”
She tried to persuade her, but Karen threw away Niamh’s hand in dissatisfaction. “Eveline, what game are you playing? Kendrick is alive and well, why are you hiding him here? And why are you forbidding me to see my son?!”
Niamh did not know how to explain it to Karen. Karen had always been pretty unreasonable and she was still the same.
Kendrick had no patience for all that was happening and continued coldly, “Since she wants to come, then she can.”
When Karen heard that, she hurried to Kendrick’s side. “Kendrick, Kendrick, let me take a good look at you. You…”
She tried to touch Kendrick’s face, but the man stopped in his steps and gave Karen a piercing gaze. “I’m not your son Kendrick.”
Karen was startled by the look in Kendrick’s eyes, but she still insisted. “Why are you not Kendrick? You were in my womb for ten months. Even if I don’t recognize your dad, I can’t have mistaken my own son!”
“He’s not your son.” Lana walked out of the house, smoking a cigarette.
Karen looked at Lana suspiciously. She thought she looked familiar but could not remember her at that moment. “Who are you again?”
Lana ignored Karen and walked straight to Niamh. “What? Are you afraid to die? Is that why you brought your mother-in-law with you?”
“She was the one who chose to follow me. I’m asking her to leave now.” Niamh glanced at Karen with pretend coldness. “Hurry up and go back.”
However, Karen sneered at Niamh disapprovingly, “Who do you think you are, Eveline? You dare to order me?”
“Since you don’t want to leave, let’s go in together.” Lana had an evil grin on her face and motioned the bodyguards to keep their eyes on Niamh.
Karen did not feel the danger at all and happily followed Kendrick into the house.
Niamh knew that there was no way back now, so she walked in with them.
However, as soon as they entered the living room, a bodyguard hurried over. “Ms. Lana, something went wrong with the shipment to South America last month.”
“Is it?” Lana took a puff from her cigarette, then looked at Kendrick. “Hans, go and deal with it.”
“Okay.” Kendrick nodded, turned, and walked out.
Niamh looked at Kendrick’s departing back and realized the seriousness of the problem. “Lana, are you making Kendrick do illegal things for you?!”
“What?” Karen was confused.
Lana grinned nonchalantly. “He’s my man, so it’s only natural that he wants to help me.”
“Lana!” Niamh could not tolerate Lana taking advantage of Kendrick that way, but she was stopped by her bodyguard.
Karen looked confused, but then she suddenly remembered who Lana was.
It was the woman who was kicked out by Niamh when she came to pay her respects to Kendrick after he died.
However, she still did not understand, so she looked at Niamh and asked, “What did you just say? This woman is using Kendrick to do illegal activities for her? How is this possible?! How could Kendrick do that kind of thing?!”
Niamh looked at Lana’s smug smile with disgust. “Of course Kendrick wouldn’t do such things, but after this woman caused him to get amnesia, he does whatever she asks him to do.”
“Amnesia?” Karen thought that everything was even more absurd but suddenly remembered how Kendrick treated her just now.
Karen glared at Lana. “I thought that you were a kind woman before! I didn’t think that you would do such a thing to Kendrick! Get my son back here right now! Otherwise, I won’t let you off the hook!”
“You won’t let me off the hook?” Lana smiled and suddenly flipped up a switchblade in her hand. “I hate it when people yell and scream at me, telling me they want to teach me a lesson.” Her eyes were fierce as she swished her blade straight at Karen’s face.
Karen was so scared that she hurriedly blocked her face with her hands, and the blade brushed across the back of her hand, drawing blood from the cut.
“Ah!” Karen screamed in pain. She was shocked by Lana’s fierce methods. “You, you—”
“Hmph.” Lana sneered and looked at Niamh. “Eveline, what do you think? You hate your mother-in- law, right? I’m helping you to teach her a lesson. Don’t you feel great?”
Karen looked at the bleeding wound. When she heard those words, she poured her anger onto Niamh. “Eveline, is this your doing? This woman is clearly targeting you! Kendrick is only this way because of you! I’m hurt right now because of you! You jinx!”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. What an annoying pair of lips.” Lana waved the sharp knife in her hand impatiently. “Eveline, since she’s so annoying, let me give you a hand and shut her mouth forever.”
When Karen heard that, her face instantly turned pale with fright.
She wanted to escape but was grabbed by two bodyguards.
“Let go of me! Let go of me! Eveline, you jinx! When are you going to stop spreading your bad luck around? You—”
“Shut up!” Lana interrupted her with extreme unhappiness.
Karen saw Lana pointing the knife at her, so she stopped moving. Her neck shrank as she closed her eyes and screamed.
However, it had been a few seconds but she was not feeling any pain.
Karen slowly opened her eyes and saw an unbelievable scene.
Niamh was using her right hand to hold the knife that Lana had swung down on her!
Karen opened her eyes wide in amazement and watched the blood drip from Niamh’s hand as the beating of her heart increased rapidly.
It was actual blood and not fake blood.
Lana was also surprised. “Eveline, it seems that you’re really not afraid of death.”
“I’ve been through hell and back. Why should I be afraid of this?” Niamh was fearless and took advantage of Lana’s moment of loss to snatch the switchblade from her hand. She threw it out the window. “Lana, stop messing with my family. Just come at me.”
‘Family.’
Karen felt warmth surging in her eyes. She suddenly felt ashamed.
“Tsk, what a responsible person you are, Eveline. I might just fall in love with you.” Lana walked toward Niamh with fascination. “Since you’ve volunteered, then I’ll come at you!”
Lana was about to attack Niamh when Karen broke free from the two men holding her. She flew in front of Niamh to protect her. “Stop what you’re doing!”
“Oh, interesting. If that’s the case, then—”
“Ms. Lana.” At the most crucial moment, the bodyguard from just now ran up to Lana again and whispered something to her.
Lana frowned and shouted, “That troublesome old man!”
She turned around in dissatisfaction, and Kendrick happened to walk in from the outside. “Hans, I’ll leave you to deal with them.”
Lana left after speaking.
Kendrick walked toward Niamh and Karen coldly.
