“You voluntarily and knowingly acted when my husband was only faintly conscious, so my husband is the only victim in this matter. What right do you have to talk about taking responsibility? My husband should be the one holding you accountable.”
After hearing these words from Niamh, Hannah’s face fell. “Eveline, you…”
“Shut up, ” Niamh interrupted her domineeringly, her cold and sharp yet beautiful eyes penetrating Hannah. “You have shamelessly used such despicable means, committing such an atrocious act, and you still have the cheek to make noise?”
“Miss Bolton, I’ll remind you one last time. Carter isn’t helping you to matchmake. He is merely using you as a pawn. If he had truly been a good person, he wouldn’t be reduced to a fugitive now.”
Niamh snapped back at Hannah, causing Hannah’s jaw to drop and unable to utter a word.
She had come here to look for Kendrick, but unexpectedly, she did not get to meet Kendrick, and instead, she met Niamh and humiliated herself.
Hannah gritted her teeth and stared at Niamh angrily. She then suddenly released her fist and let out a contemptuous laugh.
“Eveline, just keep on pretending to be calm and strong. I know you are really hurting inside! This matter won’t end like this. Just you wait!”
Hannah warned Niamh, turned around, and opened the glass door before walking away.
Niamh stood on her ground silently and looked in the direction Hannah had left. After that, she walked forward and picked up her phone indifferently.
Looking at the gentle-looking man in the photo that she used as her screensaver , Niamh lifted the corners of her lips and smiled. She then left the reception room in the next second.
Niamh knew Hannah would not let this go, but if Hannah really wanted to call the police, she would not gain anything.
As such, Niamh did not ponder further this matter. She went back to her lab to continue her work, but after a while, Coco came over; she looked like she was in a hurry.
“Ms. Montgomery, the woman just now is spewing nonsense downstairs to fool people. You should go and take a look now.”
Niamh frowned slightly. This was unexpected. Hannah was more arrogant than Niamh had thought.
This girl seemed to only be in her twenties, but her temper was truly ferocious.
However, her willfulness might also be due to her youth.
It was still working hours, and there were not many people in the lobby downstairs of the company, but Hannah was crying and shrieking very loudly.
Niamh walked over, clicking her heels, exuding a very domineering aura.
Some confused employees were recording videos with their mobile phones. When they saw Niamh coming, they immediately put down their phones and pretended to be busy with their work.
Hannah, too, saw Niamh coming, but she did not stop making a fuss.
With a sad look on her face, she lifted her eyes, pretending to only have seen Niamh now, and then she suddenly turned and ran towards Niamh.
As soon as she ran up to Niamh, she grabbed Niamh’s sleeves, and with a sob, she said, “Miss Montgomery, I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have comforted Mr. Waldburg when you quarreled with him. Also, I shouldn’t have done anything delirious with Mr. Waldburg. I was wrong. I hope you won’t get someone to make a move against me again. I really know that I was wrong! ”
“I know that my behavior with Mr. Waldburg upsets you, but I didn’t mean it. I didn’t know that Mr. Waldburg was married. I met him in St. Piaf and I genuinely like him, but now I know I was wrong, and I will never see Mr. Waldburg again. I hope you’ll let me and the child in my womb go.”
Hannah’s accusations, her words resembling a beg for mercy, stunned the employees who were watching this drama unfold. This scene also stunned Coco, the secretary, who stood beside Niamh.
Niamh, too, was astonished.
Niamh looked at Hannah. The latter looked upset, yet her eyes were filled with joy and bad intentions. Suddenly, Niamh then smiled and spoke.
“Miss Bolton, you…”
“Miss Montgomery, you don’t have to lecture me anymore. I really know that I was wrong! Don’t worry, from now on, I’ll never appear in front of you and Mr. Waldburg again. I just hope that you’ll let me go.”
Without giving Niamh a chance to speak, Hannah suddenly knelt and kowtowed to Niamh!
“Wow, what’s going on with that woman?”
“It sounded as if something happened to her and M. Waldburg in that Piaf place.”
“Shhh. Don’t speak nonsense!”
“She is too much! She described our lady boss as if she’s a cruel and devious woman. Is that woman a lunatic?”
“Looks like it.”
All kinds of whispering voices were heard. Although Hannah performed with everything she got, no one seemed to believe her.
Niamh, of course, heard those words too. In the early years, she had been given so many bad names.
Presently, though she would still be shocked by how those villains would slander her, she was not as lost as she would have been in the past.
Additionally, the people who were watching this unfold right now seemed to be less gullible than before.
She was still smiling at Hannah who was performing with everything she had.
Niamh lowered her beautiful eyes and stared at Hannah condescendingly.
“Miss Bolton, you seem to be overdoing it. Did you really think that you can convince everyone of what you just said by acting this way?” Hannah was taken aback, and she also realized this, but she could not turn back now. As such, she decided to pull the biggest trick she had.
Niamh had very keen observation skills. She could tell what tricks this woman had up her sleeves.
However, just when Niamh was about to take precautions, Hannah suddenly took out a fruit knife from her pocket!
Hannah stood up abruptly, holding the fruit knife in one hand, and aimed it at her wrist.
A timid female employee around them screamed in terror.
Niamh looked at Hannah’s reaction, and of course, she knew that this was one of the woman’s methods.
However, Niamh asked Coco to call the police and an ambulance, just in case.
The number of people who came to watch this gradually began to increase, and Hannah also felt that it was almost time to continue the second act of the performance.
She held the fruit knife and looked at her wrist as if she was struggling.
Niamh, who had guessed Hannah’s motives, did not panic in any way. “ Hannah, please stop your irrational behavior. If you want to use this to achieve your goals, you are still too naive.”
Upon seeing Niamh maintaining her calm at such a moment, Hannah bit her lip, refusing to back down, and then Hannah finally made up her mind.
She was still playing the role of a pitiful and aggrieved character. She cried and, in front of everyone, said to Niamh.
“Ms. Montgomery, I know that my behavior today disgusts you. Even if I were to go back now, you’d definitely find someone to make a move against me again. The result would be the same anyway, so I might as well end myself right now!”
Hannah’s remarks, which undoubtedly portrayed Niamh as a cruel and devious woman, made the audience around them start doubting Niamh.
Niamh, however, was not afraid of these doubts at all. She blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Hannah with a smile on her face without saying a word.
Hannah was confused. How could Niamh be so calm?
She must be putting up an act.
Even though Hannah felt that Niamh was just pretending, however, Hannah was still panicking.
“Alright, I understand what you mean now. I’ll end all gratitude and grudges right here right now!”
“Okay.”
Niamh merely gave a one-word response, and it was as though she answered with alacrity.
“End everything right here then.”
“…” Hannah was stunned upon hearing that.
However, Niamh smiled calmly and looked at everyone around them.
“There are so many people watching. You said you want to end yourself, so go ahead. It’s none of my business what happens to you anyway. If this is your desired result, then you can slash your wrist right now.”
Hannah had nothing to say to that. She held the fruit knife and dared not do anything for a long while.
Niamh looked at her, and she lifted her beautiful eyebrows as if she was waiting for Hannah’s performance.
Hannah looked at Niamh blankly, and she felt the crowd around her criticizing her, yet none of them were doubting Niamh.
She was pissed, but she did not know how to vent it right now.
Niamh caught sight of the fire in Hannah’s eyes, and Niamh was even calmer now.
“Alright, you should put a stop to your tantrum now. Everyone still needs to go back to work. Miss Bolton, if you’re not done, you can continue in my office. Please don’t disturb my employees’ work. ”
After Niamh said that, she turned around carefreely.
Hannah was even more enraged with Niamh ignoring her.
“Eveline, do you really think I wouldn’t dare to do it? Do you think I’m just scaring you? Alright, just wait to be in the headlines. I want everyone in Glendale to know that Eveline Montgomery’s the one who forced me to end my life!”
Niamh could hear Hannah’s threatening voice from behind her. Suddenly, when she was about to ignore her, she heard the screams of female employees from a side.
