On the other hand, this was the exact boldness that attracted him to Niamh even though she was a divorcee who already had children of her own.
Feelings were strange. One could not make sense of them, but at the same time, one would be controlled by them.
However, Ryan’s biggest goal right now was to get rid of Kendrick.
Would he give up on such a great opportunity for a woman?
No.
Ryan smirked without a trace.
He could kill two birds with one stone, and he would be able to execute it perfectly too.
Kendrick needed to die, but he wanted Eveline too.
“Ryan, what do you think? Are you saving my husband?” Niamh broke the silence and asked.
Ryan lifted the corners of his lips. There was admiration in his eyes.
“Eveline, will you do anything for Kendrick?”
“Yes. As long as he’s safe,” Niamh answered without hesitation.
Ryan looked at the fearless Niamh while feeling impressed. Then, he smirked nefariously.
“If that’s the case, don’t you think you should do something now to prove your determination?”
Niamh knew what Ryan was trying to say. She looked at him and stood tall. There was no trace of fear or cowering in her eyes.
She threw her bag on the floor, then pushed the straps of her top down from her shoulders.
When she was about to undress, Ryan ran to her and grabbed her wrist.
“Eveline, there will be a day when I’ll make you become my woman willingly.” His eyes were filled with confidence. “Adam already has the anti-toxoid test reagent to completely clear the poison in Kendrick’s body. However, the ingredients for it are extremely precious, so I’ll consider whether to give it to you or not based on your performance next.”
Niamh’s eyes lit up.
Indeed!
Adam already had the most crucial anti-toxoid test reagent!
Niamh’s shattered heart started to heal slowly.
‘Kendrick, there’s still hope for you!
‘I won’t let you leave me just like this!’
Niamh’s heart was blossoming. However, her stunning face was still calm and frigid.
“Ryan, aside from the anti-toxoid test reagent, I also want you to find the person who murdered Lana,” she pleaded, but she did not sound like she was negotiating.
Ryan was taken aback. There was an ominous glint in his gray eyes.
She wanted him to find the person who murdered Lana?
However, the murderer was him, Ryan Jones.
How could he capture himself?
Of course, he would not admit that. As such, he smiled and agreed. “As long as you make me happy later, I’ll make you happy as well.”
Niamh clenched her fists and let out a sigh of relief.
She was making a bet just now, and she won.
She knew Ryan’s conceited mentality. He would not want to have her like this.
As such, she was pretty sure that nothing happened between her and Ryan when they were in the hotel that day.
What he wanted was her willingness.
However, she would only give her heart to only one man in this life. Aside from Kendrick, there would be no one else.
…
Kendrick woke up slowly from his dream. He had a good night’s sleep and a wonderful dream.
He dreamt about Niamh and the children. In that dream, they were reunited as a family.
However, when Kendrick woke up and touched the empty half of the bed, his heart sank.
“Nia?”
He tried to look for Niamh in the small room but could see the entire room in just one glance. She was not here.
Kendrick cleaned himself up hastily and went downstairs. When he was about to ask the receptionist, the boss gave Kendrick a note.
“You’re awake, hot stuff. Your girlfriend said she needed to leave in the middle of the night and left you a note.”
She left in the middle of the night?
Kendrick’s sunken heart felt extremely cold.
He took the note and when he opened it, he saw four words. ‘Kendrick, I love you.’
Kendrick looked at Niamh’s neat handwriting. Those four words were reflected in his eyes and had already tattooed themselves onto his heart.
He remembered what Niamh told him last night almost immediately. “Kendrick, I have a plan to make Ryan admit that he’s the one who killed Lana.”
‘Nia, you dummy, you went ahead and looked for Ryan in order to prove my innocence and for my life is going to end soon?’
He guessed it immediately and felt his heart sinking painfully.
‘Nia, why are you so stupid?
‘I don’t deserve this.’
Kendrick called Niamh immediately. At the same time, he put on a face mask and sunglasses to prevent people from recognizing him.
However, when he called her number, the line was busy.
Kendrick figured she might have blocked his number, so he felt extremely worried for her.
He knew Niamh was approaching Ryan with a plan and she was smart, so she knew how to protect herself. However, the person she was facing was Ryan. He was a cold-blooded and vicious tyrant who would do anything to reach his goals.
Kendrick decided to go look for Ryan. However, when he passed the entrance of a mall, he suddenly heard someone mentioning Niamh’s name.
“Isn’t that Eveline Montgomery? Why is she with Ryan Jones?”
Kendrick stopped in his tracks abruptly and looked over to where everyone was looking.
The real-time news was playing on the LED screen in front of him.
Niamh was wearing a seductive and mature dress as she walked excitedly and feeling complacent next to Ryan. She had a pair of sunglasses on her face.
The journalist chased after her and asked, “Mrs. Waldburg, Mr. Waldburg was involved in a murder and has become a fugitive now. I heard you were involved with his escape, but why are you with Mr. Jones now?”
“What are your comments on Mr. Waldburg’s murder?” the journalists asked.
In the camera, Niamh stopped walking in annoyance. “Please don’t speak without thinking. When did I help Kendrick escape? I’ve been with Mr. Jones this entire time. I don’t know where Kendrick is.”
The journalists were shocked when Niamh said that.
“Mrs. Waldburg, are you saying you’ve always been with Mr. Jones this whole time after what happened to Mr. Waldburg? So, about Mr. Waldburg’s murder…”
“He’s the one who murdered someone. What does it have to do with me? Stop interviewing me. I don’t have time,” Niamh answered in annoyance. Then, she took off her sunglasses and displayed her charming eyes.
“Also, stop calling me Mrs. Waldburg. I, Eveline Montgomery, don’t have a murderer as a husband.”
“…” The journalists were dumbfounded.
After Niamh said that, she put her sunglasses back on and smiled before walking back to Ryan. Then, the two of them got into a car and drove away.
After Kendrick watched the interview, he could not explain what he was feeling right now.
When he was about to leave, he heard all kinds of criticisms from people around him.
“Damn! Eveline Montgomery is so heinous!”
“Why does such a woman exist? Her husband is going to be the suspect of a murder case. It’s fine that she didn’t hire a lawyer to help him, but she even ran into another man’s arms so quickly. How disgusting!”
