Once they had gotten into the car, Niamh placed the paper flower down. While she was putting on her seatbelt, she turned around and exhorted her son.
“Jack, during this period, aside from Mommy, Daddy, Grandpas, and Grandmas, don’t go with anyone if they say they’re here to take you home. Don’t go with them even if they say they know Mommy and Daddy. Can you remember that?”
Even though Jackson was young, his IQ was not low.
He immediately gave Niamh an answer that set her mind at rest. “Don’t worry, Mommy. I’ll remember what you say.”
“Good boy.”
Niamh smiled and praised him. She then pressed stepped on the accelerator.
She lifted her eyes to look at the little guy from the rearview mirror. His handsome little face and the look in his eyes were starting to seem more and more like Kendrick’s.
She believed that this kid would be very outstanding in the future.
However, at the present, she was worried about Carter. That man might take action against her children just to exact his vengeance.
“Mommy, you keep looking at me, but remember to drive carefully,” Jackson reminded as he blinked his big eyes.
Niamh collected her thoughts and smiled as she answered, “I got it. I’ll drive carefully and send you home safely.”
“Uh—huh. ” The little guy pressed his lips together and grunted an arrogant reply.
Niamh smiled and continued to drive. However, when she drove up to the crossroad further ahead, she saw that there was an accident and that the road in front was blocked.
This was the only road back home, but now they could not go through it.
Niamh initially thought to wait, but the cars still could not budge even after a long while. She could only then turn her steering wheel and drive into another road as per the traffic police’s instructions.
They could reach home via this road too, but it was a roundabout way home.
However, when she got onto another road, there was a car speeding right at them with its high beam turned on.
Niamh quickly turned the steering wheel and slammed on the brakes.
After stopping the car in a hurry, she got out of the car and opened the door of the backseat.
“Jack, are you okay?” Are you hurt?” Niamh, worried, picked up her son and carried him out of the car. She was worried that Jackson was hurt from the emergency brake just now.
Jackson shook her head. “Mommy, I’m fine, don’t worry.”
“That’s good.” Niamh let out a sigh of relief and put her son back down.
She turned around to find the owner of the car from earlier and give them a piece of her mind, but she saw two men getting out of the car and walked up to Niamh purposefully.
“Mrs. Waldburg, sorry for scaring you. Please come with us,” one of the men invited Niamh, a false smile on his face.
Despite it being an invitation, it seemed that even if Niamh were to refuse, they would also take her away forcefully.
Niamh calmly studied the men in front of her. “Did Carter send you?”
The men seemed to freeze momentarily before shaking their heads.
“We don’t know the person you mentioned.”
“Who are you, then? Why should I go with you?”
“Don’t you know, Mrs. Waldburg?”
“What should I know?”
“We’re from the Commercial Crime Investigation Unit.”
As the man spoke, he took out the identification card which he had already prepared from his pocket.
“We got a report saying that the existing liquid funds of Waldburg Corporation may have been laundered. Please come with us immediately.”
Of course, Niamh, knowing that Waldburg Corporation could not have this problem, suspected that the report was false.
It seemed to her that these two people must be hired by Carter.
Niamh did not expose them but calmly said, “If you think there’s a problem with the funds in Waldburg Corporation, you can go look for the person in charge of the company. Why are you wasting so much effort in hindering me in the middle of the road?”
“You’re Kendrick Waldburg’s wife, so there’s no way you don’t know what he’s doing.”
“Yes, I am his wife. But I really don’t know what he might be doing behind my back. If you want to investigate this, go look for him. Don’t bother me.”
As she spoke, Niamh turned around and picked up Jackson. She wanted to take her son home first.
However, when she bent down, a strong man suddenly ran out from behind Jackson and picked Jackson, who was caught off guard, and ran away.
“What are you doing? Put my son down! ” Niamh demanded sternly.
However, the man, his face expressionless, completely ignored Niamh.
Jackson struggled in the man’s arms and, suddenly, he opened his small mouth and bit the man on the back of his hand.
“Hiss!”
The man groaned in pain, but he did not let go of his hand. It was evident that this pain was nothing to him.
“Kid, do you think I’ll let you go just like that? How naive. ” The man looked at Jackson and smirked in contempt.
However, when he was feeling pleased with himself, he suddenly let out a howl of pain.
The man’s eyes widened. He had never expected that Niamh would outright kick him.
He yelped in pain and reflexively let go of his hand that held Jackson.
Niamh ran over with lightning speed and caught Jackson as he felled.
“Jack! ” Niamh held the little guy tightly into her arms.
“Mommy, I’m fine. Don’t worry about me, ” Jackson said to calm Niamh down, knowing that his mother was worried about him.
Niamh, not bothering with those two men any further, held Jackson and was about to get into the car.
However, when she opened the door to get in the car, suddenly a black gun muzzle was pointed at the back of her head.
“Eveline, you have to come with us even if you don’t want to, ” the man behind her threatened.
Jackson’s clear, big eyes widened, staring at the man who threatened Niamh with a gun.
Nonetheless, Niamh did not fluster.
She raised her proud and beautiful eyes and calmly opened her lips.
“ If you have the guts, shoot me now. If you can’t, don’t block my way home.”
The man holding the gun had not expected Niamh to be completely fearless.
He had intended to threaten her, but now, he was the one flustered.
If they could not bring Niamh back, they would not be able to complete their mission.
If the mission were not completed, severe punishment would await them.
Upon seeing the lack of response and reaction in the two men, Niamh placed Jackson into the car. After closing the door, she turned around and faced the man who was still pointing the gun at her.
“So? Are you going to shoot me? If not, I’m leaving.”
“…” When the man heard this, he moved his finger slightly, but he indeed dared not pull the trigger.
When Niamh saw the man’s mannerism, she smiled faintly, and without speaking further, got into the car and drove away.
Jackson, who was sitting in the back of the car, looked at the two men standing there through the rear window.
“Mommy, who are they?” Jackson asked curiously.
Niamh glanced at the two figures that were getting farther and farther away in the rearview mirror. “Jack, don’t be scared. Mommy will protect you no matter what.”
Jackson happily turned around and praised, “ Mommy looked so cool just now. You look even cooler than Daddy!”
Niamh laughed after hearing this.
In any case, she would not let anyone hurt her baby again.
This was her duty as a mother, and her instinct was to protect her children.
After Niamh returned home, Kendrick returned soon after.
