When those two words glided past Cathy’s ears, she felt as if her vision had gone black.
When Kendrick saw the changes in Cathy’s expression, he comforted and said, “I’ll hire the best lawyer for him, so don’t worry.”
Cathy curled the corners of her lips into a smile. “There’s nothing for me to worry about. He said he doesn’t regret this, so why would he care about my worries? If he didn’t care back then, then he won’t care now. The only reason he came back to look for me is that he has a guilty conscience.”
She made the conclusion and turned around slowly.
“Don’t tell him that I’ve regained my memories. I don’t want him to suddenly know that there’s an idiot who still loves him on the day he’s getting his death penalty. Plus, I don’t want him to know that he has a son and a daughter in this world.”
A son and a daughter.
Kendrick naturally thought of the pair of twins.
It turned out they were the children Cathy had with Felipe.
When Adam heard this, he smiled in disappointment.
Cathy had indeed remembered everything.
She remembered that the man she loved the most was Felipe. She remembered that despite the man wanting to kill her, she still gave birth to his children willingly.
Felip was quickly transferred to the custodial ward from the hospital.
He did not care what kind of punishment he would get now.
Being able to see her in his final days was the biggest satisfaction for him.
After Kendrick went home from the hospital, he felt more and more troubled.
Judging from Felipe’s actions, he had already decided to plead guilty to everything he did. He did not even want the chance to appeal. He genuinely wanted to take responsibility for the things that he had done.
Even though this was right, Kendrick felt that Felipe simply wanted to give up on himself.
Kendrick knew if he told Felipe about the children he had with Cathy, then Felipe’s mindset might change.
However, Cathy had told him not to say anything.
Kendrick felt more frustrated now, especially since Niamh was still with Carter and he had no idea what was wrong with her. He did not know why she was so cold toward him and repulsed by him.
When Kendrick got back to the manor, Karen asked him about Niamh.
After knowing what had happened to Niamh, Karen was confused, but at the same time, she was surprised. “Kendrick, you said Eveline thinks that you’re her ex-husband and is sure that Gray person is her current husband? What’s going on?”
Kendrick did not have the answer too. “I keep feeling that something’s wrong with Nia, but she looks pretty normal to me.”
“Is she intentionally staying with that Gray person because she wants to find out why he’s investigating you?” Karen wondered if this was the reason.
Kendrick furrowed his brows.
Niamh indeed had this thought initially, but after she exposed Naomi, it would be almost impossible for her to stay with Carter using this method.
Bigamy.
Heh, this was a trap Carter set from a very long time ago.
However, what did he do to make Niamh so obedient to him and even believe that they had already gotten a divorce?
Kendrick could not wrap his head around this no matter how he tried.
At this moment, he received a call.
It was stated that two days from now on a weekend, there would be a mysterious person hosting a party in the most luxurious hotel in Glendale. This person had invited almost everyone from the upper- class but did not include Kendrick.
They had invited everyone from the upper-class but not Kendrick, so it was obvious that there was something fishy going on. It made Kendrick think that this mysterious person must be Carter.
That night, Kendrick showed up uninvited.
When he walked in through the door, the man at the door stopped him.
Immediately, Kendrick could tell that this man was part of Carter’s entourage who was always by his side.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Waldburg. Please show us your invitation card for the party.” The man deliberately made things hard for him.
Kendrick parted his lips indifferently, saying, “You should know very well that I don’t have an invitation.”
The man seemed to be smiling politely. “I’m sorry, Mr. Waldburg. Perhaps you didn’t know that all guests need to have an invitation card before they can go in…”
“You’re the one who has no idea.” Kendrick lifted his cruel and domineering eyes. “I’m the boss of this hotel, and every corner of this hotel is my territory.”
“…”
The man was stumped for words after he heard that. It was clear that he did not know that Kendrick was the boss, but he quickly refuted.
“Mr. Waldburg, even if you’re the boss, Mr. Carter has already booked the entire dining hall, so he has the right to decide who’s allowed to enter and who’s not. If you insist on barging in, then you’ll be going against the agreement. Mr. Waldburg, according to the agreement, you have to pay for this.”
After hearing what the man said, Kendrick laughed instead of getting mad. “So, you think I look like someone who lacks this amount of money?”
“…” The man had no words.
When he was stumped for words faced against Kendrick’s calm and powerful aura, he saw Kendrick striding calmly into the dining hall.
The man was going to stop Kendrick at the door and embarrass him according to Carter’s wishes, but Kendrick owned this hotel!
They had not looked into this beforehand.
When he saw Kendrick walking into the dining room and a lot of upper-class gentlemen greeting him, the man quickly took out his phone to message Carter.
After Carter read the message he just received, he lifted his eyes to look at Niamh who was sitting on the sofa quietly.
He put down his phone and walked toward Niamh.
“Eveline Montgomery.”
He called her by her full name.
Niamh lifted her head after she heard that and looked into Carter’s eyes that were filled with a dangerous aura.
Carter looked straight into Niamh’s eyes and parted his lips to guide her. “Eveline, remember my face. I’m your husband now and Kendrick is your ex-husband. That person hurt you very bad back then so you despise him, do you remember?”
Niamh listened to the lies Carter made up and nodded obediently.
“I remember.”
Carter smiled in satisfaction with his lips pressed together. Then, he lifted his hand to wave it in front of Niamh.
“Eveline.”
He immediately changed his attitude and called out Niamh’s name with a soft and gentle tone.
Niamh seemed to have come back to her senses. Her initial clear and beautiful eyes were filled with a faint hint of foolishness. There was even a hint of dazzle in them.
She looked at the man who was wearing a custom-made suit in front of her and she seemed to be in a daze. “Cart.”
“Yeah,” Carter replied gently. “Eveline, go get ready and go to the party with me. Do you know that you’re the star of the party today?”
“Okay.” Niamh nodded obediently and got up slowly. “Carter, I want to go to the toilet.”
“Okay, go ahead. I’ll wait.” Carter went over and opened the door of the lounge for Niamh considerately.
Niamh was wearing her high heels and strutted forward elegantly.
When she was in the corridor that was leading to the toilet, she realized she had been here before.
She remembered the person she had been with was Kendrick. When they were walking together in her memories, they were smiling radiantly.
Niamh muttered to herself irresolutely while feeling absent-minded. While she was thinking about that, she felt a headache coming.
She walked to the sink in the toilet and used some water to pat her face. However, her thoughts did not calm down because of that.
Fragments of her memories appeared in her brain all at once, but in the end, they stopped at the scene where Kendrick forced her to sign the divorce papers.
Hiss! Niamh lifted her hands to press down on her temples. When she was about to rest for a while before leaving, a figure appeared behind her.
“Nia.”
The man’s low and soft voice rang out behind her ears.
Niamh slowly lifted her sharp yet beautiful eyes. She then saw Kendrick’s narrow eyes that were brimming with emotions in the mirror.
“Nia.” Kendrick got closer to Niamh, his warm palm holding her thin wrist tightly.
