“You were indeed wrong. You were wrong for hitting someone you shouldn’t have.”
After Niamh heard that, she turned her head slightly to look at the man who was approaching her. “Get out.” She kicked him out in a cold voice.
Kendrick ignored her and continued to approach her.
“Get out! You’re not worthy of standing in front of my parents! Get lost!” Niamh’s voice became stern.
However, Kendrick still ignored her and stood behind Niamh. “If you don’t want an even bigger tragedy to happen, apologize to Lana with me right now. Tell her you were wrong for slapping her.”
“Heh.” Niamh felt like she had just heard a colossal joke. She stood up slowly and looked at the frigid man. Then, her gaze turned sharp before she lifted her hand to slap him across his face.
“Kendrick, listen to me. Not only do I want to slap her, but I want to slap you too!
“Do you think you’re all that just because you’ve lost your memories? Do you think you can murder people, commit arson, obliterate your humanity, and kill my parents just because you’ve lost your memories?”
She grabbed the man’s collar, her red eyes filled with tears. She was in extreme pain as she looked at the man who used to risk his life for her.
“Kendrick, get lost! Go back to Lana and stop appearing in front of me!”
Ava just came back from the restroom when she heard Niamh’s hysterical voice from the door.
She went in to take a look and saw Kendrick inside.
“Kendrick Waldburg, you b*stard!” Ava yelled. She pulled the hysterical Niamh back to her, protecting her. Then, she glared at the frigid man before yelling, “Kendrick, what did Niamh do to meet a man like you?”
“She suffered so much torture for so many years but still chose to forgive you because she loves you, but what about you? What are you doing now? You’re holding another woman while doing all those heinous things to Niamh! Are you still human?”
Kendrick was agitated when faced with Ava’s beratings. “I said, I’m not Kendrick Waldburg.”
“Sure, you’re not Kendrick Waldburg, you’re a murderer! You’re a monster!” Ava defined Kendrick’s current attributes before helping Niamh out of the morgue.
After Niamh walked away, he turned around to look at the two corpses on the beds.
He walked over and lifted the white cloth to see the disfigured bodies. Then, there was an ominous glint in his deep eyes.
Montgomery Manor had been burned to the ground.
However, the investigation result of the fire concluded that it was just an accident.
Niamh did not believe that it was just an accident. Someone had clearly set fire to the manor as it was impossible for such a roaring fire to be an accident.
The person who set the fire…
She closed her eyes, unable to forget the way Kendrick had stood coldly at the entrance while watching the fire burn.
Niamh went back to Waldburg Manor and saw that they had set up memorial plaques for Eloise and Sean.
Old Master Waldburg felt his heart shattering into pieces when he saw Niamh kneeling in front of the plaques.
“Did Kendrick really do this?” The old master was in disbelief.
To be frank, Niamh still could not believe Kendrick had done such a thing even until now.
However, it was a fact that Eloise and Sean had both passed away.
Karen did not know what to say. She recalled Kendrick’s icy attitude when Niamh had to deliver the baby prematurely due to shock and felt distraught with anxiety.
“If Kendrick really did that, then he won’t be able to stay with Eveline even after his memories come back in the future. He might have to spend the rest of his life in jail too!” The old master lamented. “Why did it become like this?”
“It’s all because of that Lana woman! I don’t know who she is, but she’s a savage! She was the one who forced Eveline into early labor!”
“Hahaha…”
After Karen said that, a woman’s pleased laughter came from the door.
Lana was wearing a sexy red dress as she strutted inside while smoking a cigarette.
“Lana!” Karen was infuriated. “You’re just in time, you succubus! You caused my son to lose his memories, my daughter-in-law to deliver her baby prematurely, and killed my in-laws! I’m going to kill you!”
Karen grabbed a broom and swung it violently at Lana.
“Stop.”
Kendrick appeared in time to stop her.
“Don’t you dare touch her.”
Karen stopped the broom mid-air and looked at the man walking toward her. Then, she put down the broom angrily.
“Kendrick, why won’t you wake up? She caused your wife to deliver her baby prematurely and used you to kill your in-laws! How can you still defend her?”
Karen berated, only for Kendrick to say nonchalantly, “When did I kill my in-laws? I’m not Kendrick.”
“You…” Karen was so angry that she was speechless.
Old Master Waldburg walked in front of Kendrick with his cane and looked at his face closely. It was his grandson indeed.
“Kendrick, do you know what you’re doing? You hurt Eveline so much back then and did so many things to get her back. Do you want to destroy the chance Eveline gave you again?”
Lana scoffed arrogantly, taking a drag from her cigarette. “Where’s Eveline? Tell her to come out.”
“You shameless homewrecker! Who are you to see my daughter-in-law? Get out!” Karen was genuinely trying to protect Niamh, so she blocked Lana from entering. “Get out of our house!”
“Your house?” Lana snorted, her eyes darkening. “If you don’t want your house to end up like Montgomery Manor, then get out of my way.”
“Even if you burn this place down, I won’t let you step foot into my house!” Karen was firm.
There was displeasure on Lana’s face. When she wanted to tell Kendrick to teach Karen a lesson, Niamh appeared.
She was wearing a white shirt, and her hair was in a low ponytail. Her bare face was flawless, and she still looked gorgeous despite looking slightly haggard.
When Kendrick saw Niamh, his gaze was glued to her delicate face for quite a while.
Lana noticed Niamh’s swollen and red eyes. She smirked as she held her cigarette in her hand. Then, she pushed Karen away to walk in front of Niamh.
“Tsk tsk, poor baby.” Lana looked at Niamh. “Are you scared now? Eveline, this is what you get for putting your hands on me.”
She smirked and got close to Niamh’s ear, saying in a low voice, “Is your heart hurting? The man you love the most burned down your house and killed your parents. Even if he gets his memories back one day, you’ll never end up together ever again. Don’t you think I’m smart for doing this?”
Lana continued to mock arrogantly.
“This is what you get for going against me, Eveline. I’ll wear down on your sharp edges bit by bit, tormenting slowly. I won’t end this so quickly.”
Lana laughed and turned around. Suddenly, she felt something hit the back of her head.
She turned around furiously and saw Jackson throwing two oranges at her. “You evil woman!”
Jackson was yelling at Lana. Then, he looked at Kendrick who was not reacting to him at all. He asked in confusion, “Daddy, why are you staying with this evil woman? Are you abandoning Mommy? Mommy will be so sad. Can’t you see that, Daddy?”
Lana’s face fell. “Eveline, is this your son?”
Niamh quickly pulled Jackson behind her as she was scared that Lana would take action against him. “Jack, go back and stay with Lily. Don’t come out.”
Jackson frowned. “But Mommy…”
“Listen to me. Go in now.”
“Okay.” Jackson nodded and looked at Kendrick who had his eyes on him. “Daddy, when are you coming home? Lily and I miss you,” the little guy added before looking at Kendrick reluctantly and going back.
Kendrick looked blankly at the little boy who left. Suddenly, he felt dispirited for no reason.
However, his gaze went back to Niamh almost instantly.
It was evident that she had cried before. However, since she was born beautiful, she was still stunning even though she was not in the best state.
Lana did not notice Kendrick staring at Niamh and only fixed her hair in agitation.
“Eveline, your son is just like you. Both of you just love looking for trouble and asking for death!”
Her statement was filled with hints and warnings.
“All of the people who dared to go against me have disappeared from the face of the earth. Eveline, if you don’t want your son to end up like your parents, kneel and apologize to me and my friend Naomi in front of Waldburg Corporation tomorrow. If not…”
Lana’s eyes looked vicious as she got close to Niamh’s ear and murmured, “If not, you’ll see your son dying in the hands of the man you love.”
She threatened, her smirk becoming cockier and cockier.
When she turned around, she called out to Kendrick, “Hans, Miss Montgomery is so sad right now. Since you look like her husband, you should comfort her. I’ll be waiting in the car.”
Lana walked away while feeling pleased with herself as she puffed on her cigarette.
