“Tsk, I wonder how ugly she is.”
Niamh smiled nonchalantly when she heard what was being said around her.
“Are you okay, buddy? I’m going to let go if you’re fine,” Niamh continued saying kindly to the little boy before letting go.
When the little boy saw her getting up to leave, a sudden sly smile appeared on his lips as he lifted his hand to grab Niamh’s mask. Then, he ripped Niamh’s mask away from her face in front of everyone!
Niamh did not expect a child that young to be so sinister.
It seemed that not every child was as innocent, guilt-free, pure, and wonderful as Jack and Lily.
“Wow!” the little boy exclaimed when he saw Niamh’s face. Everyone around her started to show looks of surprise on their faces too.
Ada and her mother stood somewhere not far away from Niamh. When they saw the little boy holding Niamh’s face mask in his hand, they looked at each other and beamed happily.
Finally, they had attained their goal!
They finally removed Niamh’s mask from her face!
They could finally let everyone see Niamh’s face that was covered with scars!
When Ada and her mother saw the guests’ shocked expressions, they quickly ran over to where she was. They could not wait to see Niamh’s horrendous face and how she would embarrass herself in front of everyone!
Carter’s mother also hurried over to see Niamh’s true face.
When Carter saw this, he furrowed his brows in displeasure and chased after those people to go over to Niamh’s side.
He grabbed the mask in the brat’s hand after reaching out his hand. Then, he grabbed the child’s hand and warned in an unhappy, stern voice, “Watch your hand. If your parents don’t know how to educate you, then I will.”
Luke’s face turned white. He was so scared he did not even dare to utter a word.
Carter flung the little boy’s hand away coldly and lifted his head to see the guests looking at Niamh with stunned expressions on their faces. Suddenly, Carter felt that something was not right.
Niamh sensed that Carter was going to turn around to look at her. She wanted to hide, but she knew in her heart that she could not hide anymore.
When she was having such considerations, Carter turned around.
The moment their eyes met, Niamh felt that she would be plagued with trouble despite seeing a hint of shock in Carter’s eyes.
“Camille, I didn’t think that your daughter-in-law would be so stunning!” One of the female guests came over to grab Camille who was coming over before praising Niamh continuously.
After Camille heard that, she was stunned abruptly. Then, Ada and her mother were also startled when they heard that.
What?
Were their ears deceiving them?
Stunning?
Eveline was stunning?
How was it possible?
Ada did not forget how Niamh’s face was covered with wounds when she first saw her. She looked so disgusting that she did not even dare to touch the mask Niamh wore!
How would such a horrendous face have anything to do with the word ‘stunning’?
Impossible!
Ada’s mother and Camille had heard Ava describing Niamh’s appearance before. In their minds, Niamh was extremely hideous.
However, the instant they looked over, there were glints of praises flashing across their eyes instinctively.
Even though it happened quickly, the look in their eyes could not hide the fact that they were indeed surprised by Niamh’s features and beauty.
She was a beauty!
There were no scars on her face, let alone a single flaw.
Even though her face was soaked with juice, the droplets on her face looked like they were adorning her fair and glowing face instead. She looked exceedingly beautiful, pristine, and untainted.
Ada’s eyes were staring straight at Niamh.
“H-How is this possible?” Ada was in disbelief. A month ago, she saw with her own eyes how Niamh’s face looked hideous and horrendous like a rotten apple.
How could she have recovered to this state in just one month?
Plus, Eveline’s appearance was so delicate and beautiful!
She did not want to admit it, but she did think that Niamh’s beauty was able to defeat hers.
No voices were mocking and ridiculing Niamh for being ugly anymore. Now, there were only compliments.
Since the start of the party, Camille’s face had been dark. However, things were obviously different now.
Niamh did not care how people viewed her. Now, she was only worried about how to muddle through this.
She did not say anything, but she felt Carter’s complicated gaze on her.
Carter looked at Niamh’s face that was as beautiful as a painting, and his eyes darkened.
Suddenly, he grabbed Niamh’s hand. “Let’s go back to our room.”
There was nothing wrong with his tone, but Niamh could feel his grip tightening on her hand.
Niamh could not escape from Carter’s grip now, so she could only follow him back to the house.
Ada watched as Carter left while holding Niamh’s hand. She was so angry that the flames in her body were burning brightly.
“Ada, what’s going on? Didn’t you say that the woman’s so ugly that it’s unbearable to look at her? However, you saw what happened just now. That woman’s face…”
“Shut up!” Ada angrily interrupted her mother’s sentence. She had already cursed Niamh a few times in her heart.
However, aside from scolding Niamh in her heart, she could not do anything else.
In the study.
Niamh tried to escape, but at this moment, Carter flung away Niamh’s hand in displeasure.
He removed his suit jacket and tossed it on the sofa angrily. Then, he turned around suddenly. His eyes that were filled with dark and complicated currents were staring straight at Niamh’s face.
Niamh did not hide. She looked into his eyes confidently.
“Are my eyes deceiving me?” Carter finally broke the intense atmosphere. “Not only has your face recovered, but your features are also almost the same as Kendrick’s wife.”
Carter frowned and scoffed. “The even more interesting thing is that not only do you look like his wife, but your names are also the same,” he said and walked step by step in front of Niamh, his handsome face inching closer to hers.
His dark and heavy eyes were filled with a dangerous aura as they captured Niamh’s features.
“Don’t tell me there are two Eveline Montgomeries in this world who look exactly the same.”
“Of course, there are no two people in the world who will look the same. Since it has come to this, I can only be honest with you.” Niamh showed a helpless expression, but her eyes were looking into Carter’s fearlessly.
“You know I love Kendrick, but he abandoned me for that Eveline. To get him back, not only did I get plastic surgery to look like her, but I even fantasized about being her and being the woman he loves the most.”
After Carter heard this, he looked at Niamh suspiciously.
Niamh was calm in the face of danger. She was still looking calmly into Carter’s suspicious gaze.
“Mr. Carter, why do you think I look the same as Kendrick’s wife? There will be differences even if we’re twins. Plus, Eveline doesn’t have a sister.”
After she said that, Carter suddenly curled the corners of his lips.
Niamh saw him lifting his hand to touch her face. When she wanted to dodge subconsciously, Carter grabbed her wrist one step ahead of her.
Niamh felt that something bad was about to happen, so she used all of her might to get out of his grip.
“Let go!”
Despite Carter’s aura being super oppressive, Niamh never showed any weakness.
He was strong, and she was on edge.
However, because of the power difference between them, Carter utterly defeated Niamh from this aspect.
Niamh saw a never-before-seen mischievous smirk on Carter’s face that looked like an iceberg.
“I finally know what kind of face a woman with such beautiful eyes and calm grandeur has.”
It seemed as if Carter was lamenting when he said the next two words in a thought-provoking manner, “Eveline Montgomery.”
