The next day when Kendrick woke up, he saw a lot of public opinion on the internet. The netizens were all focusing on the fact that he was abusing his influence to retaliate against Ryan. Someone even said that the Waldburgs and the Joneses had some beef between them.
They said that the Waldburgs killed someone from the Jones family more than ten years ago.
In just one night, the Waldburgs got into a lot of negative news.
Kendrick could guess that Mr. and Mrs. Jones were the ones behind this. They wanted to use public opinion to retaliate against him.
Old Master Waldburg saw everything and felt it was necessary to come forward to clarify that the grievances of the previous generation should not be dealt with by the younger generation.
However, Kendrick stopped the old man. As a descendant of the Waldburgs, he had the responsibility to share and bear all the doubts for this family.
However, the biggest public opinion on the internet was still about Kendrick shooting Ryan. What was even more outrageous was that a group of reporters was blocking the gates of Waldburg Manor early in the morning, saying that they were here to find out the truth.
Kendrick frowned unhappily when he looked at Niamh who had been awakened.
If it was not because he needed to take care of Niamh, he would have already gone down to drive these people away. Now, he could only let Karen deal with them.
However, when Niamh finished washing up and went downstairs to eat, more and more people started gathering around the gates. Niamh was finding it strange when she was eating breakfast.
“Why is it so noisy at the door?”
Kendrick caressed her head. “It’s just a bunch of annoying flies. I’m going to chase them away now. Nia, stay here and eat your breakfast like a good girl.”
Niamh nodded half-believingly and looked at Kendrick’s back blankly.
Karen was chasing the reporters away at the gates, but those people were clearly prepared and asking extremely tricky questions.
When they saw Kendrick coming out, they turned their microphones and cameras to Kendrick one by one as they rushed to ask questions.
“Mr. Waldburg, what are your comments about the internet saying that you shot Ryan?”
“Why was Ryan with Mrs. Waldburg when he was shot? They were also seen pulling and pushing at each other. Have you always been in a love triangle?”
“Did you shoot Ryan because he falsely accused you of killing someone? You’re using your power to deal with personal matters, right?”
“Or are you just venting your anger because Eveline Montgomery was having an affair with Ryan?”
After listening to these questions, Kendrick felt that these people were just digging their own graves.
He raised his eyebrows indifferently and his imposing manner alone scared these people into gulping.
When he was about to warn them, the journalists’ eyes suddenly lit up as they all looked behind him…
Kendrick noticed something amiss, so he restrained himself and looked back only to see Niamh standing not far behind him with a look of doubt.
It was unknown when she followed him here. Plus, there was a possibility that she had heard all the questions asked by these journalists. That would explain why Niamh’s expression looked a little off.
“Nia.”
Kendrick turned and walked toward her, but at this moment, the group of journalists behind him turned the cameras to Niamh and started asking questions.
“Miss Eveline, was Ryan with you when he was shot last night?”
“Mrs. Waldburg, what is the relationship between you and Ryan?”
“The reason why Mr. Waldburg shot Ryan was that he was jealous of you being with Ryan, right?”
Kendrick was furious when the journalists asked such stupid questions.
He turned around swiftly and looked at them with his eyes as sharp as ice knives. “You’re willfully speculating and putting false crimes on people under the guise of pursuing the truth. Just wait to receive a lawyer’s letter from me.”
As soon as Kendrick said this, coupled with his impeccably fierce aura, the group of people in front of him was all startled.
“The job of a journalist is to find the truth, not fabricating the facts!”
“…”
Kendrick’s eyes were full of coldness, and no journalists dared to speak anymore for fear that they would offend Kendrick again.
“Get lost now. Don’t show up in my sight again.”
He dropped these last words and turned around to take Niamh into the house, but when he turned around, Niamh had already walked to his side.
Her elegant face was stained with deep confusion and incomprehension. “What did they just say?”
Niamh asked inexplicably, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed. “What do they mean by a love triangle? Why did they say that I’m having an affair with Ryan?”
Kendrick quickly explained and comforted, “Nia, don’t listen to their nonsense. You didn’t, and there isn’t anything between you and Ryan.”
However, Niamh was obviously a little bit triggered because of this. Her eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter, and she even began to speak incoherently, “Ryan… Ryan is dead. He died in front of me. There was so much blood. There was also his blood on my face…
“B-But how could it be that you’re the one who killed Ryan? How could it be you? No, it can’t be like this…”
Niamh denied repeatedly in distress. Her complexion that had finally recovered a little became awful again.
Kendrick held Niamh’s shoulders with a broken heart and gently persuaded her, saying, “Nia, don’t pay attention to what others are saying. Don’t think about it. Please calm down.”
Niamh shook her head and glanced at the journalists who were looking at her questioningly. She suddenly felt that her head was very heavy and her thoughts were all over the place, but the scene of
Ryan collapsing to the ground last night was once again so clear in front of her.
The journalists watched Niamh’s dazed and empty eyes while whispering among each other.
“Does Eveline look a bit off to you?”
“I heard some gossip saying that she has gone crazy.”
“What? Crazy?”
“Half-crazy and half-dumb, it seems like. I heard that she can’t even take care of herself anymore.”
“Seriously? I wonder if it’s the retribution of playing with other people’s feelings.”
Kendrick’s hearing was very sharp and he looked back in anger.
“Shut your mouth!”
The reporters were so frightened that they did not dare breathe.
“Scram!”
Kendrick drove them away in a rage, and then he turned back to see that Niamh’s complexion was getting worse.
“Nia.”
“Ah!” Suddenly, Niamh held her head uncomfortably and asked strangely, “Why is this happening? Why?”
“Nia!” Kendrick grabbed her shoulders nervously and looked at her pained look. He also felt his heart aching along with her. “Nia, don’t be too hard on yourself. Don’t think about it. Let’s go back to the house.”
He took Niamh’s hand before looking back and reminding Karen. “Call the police. Tell them someone is making trouble in front of our house.”
Karen nodded and stared angrily at the panicked journalists. “I’ll call them now!”
After she said this, these journalists all left one after another.
If this was another place, they would not leave even if the police were involved.
However, there were at the gates of Waldburg Manor and it was not a good idea to provoke Kendrick.
However, judging from Niamh’s reaction just now, most of them had already thought about what they were going to release next.
The madam of the richest and dignified Jones family was actually crazy?
This was such big news.
Of course, what was worthy of attention was not that Niamh had become a lunatic. From what Niamh just said, they had a lot to work with.
After Kendrick took Niamh back to the house, her emotions became out of control again.
Eloise had just gotten up and was coming downstairs. When she saw Niamh, she walked to her happily. “You really are fine after a good night’s sleep. They didn’t lie to me. Sean said that he would accompany me to buy clothes later. You should come with me.”
However, after Eloise’s expectant invitation, Niamh went upstairs without even looking at Eloise.
Niamh’s indifference caused the smile on Eloise’s face to shatter in an instant.
She stood where she was while feeling at a loss. Loneliness covered her entire face. “My Eveline doesn’t want me as a mother anymore, and this Eveline doesn’t want to care about me now. Why does Eveline hate me so much? Why…”
Kendrick walked over to comfort her after hearing Eloise blaming herself while feeling horrible.
“Mom, don’t overthink it. Eveline doesn’t hate you.”
