“Alright, we will resolve all our grievances today as you wish.“ Niamh smiled slightly, and before the woman could speak again, she took the initiative to walk towards the elevator.
The woman quickly put away the knife in her hand and followed Niamh.
After a while, the elevator reached the rooftop.
Niamh took the lead to walk to the rooftop. The winter wind blew on her face and instantly messed up her hair.
She righteously faced the woman who was closing the rooftop door. She was still very calm and collected.
With a bang, the woman slammed the door shut before turning to stare at Niamh.
“Niamh, are you scared now?”
Niamh frowned. “I’ve never done anything against my conscience, so why would I be afraid? “
“How dare you say that.”
“Of course, I don’t,” Niamh replied firmly. “ However, Miss Bolton, do you know what you are doing these days?”
When Hannah heard this, she was stunned for a few seconds. Her eyes then turned red as she stared at Niamh. “What did I do? What have I done?
Eveline, what do you mean by that?”
Niamh smiled unhurriedly and parted her lips. She then took the photos that were sent to her that were taken secretly from her coat pocket. “Are these hints enough?” When Hannah saw those photos, her expression suddenly changed. “Eveline, y-you knew I was stalking you and taking pictures of you secretly?”
Realizing this, Hannah suddenly flustered.
“Eveline, you’ve been playing tricks on me this whole time.“
“I didn’t. You told me yourself you wouldn’t let this rest so easily, “ Niamh replied calmly.
“You…“
Hannah’s eyes turned red from anger. She then suddenly took a sharp fruit knife from her pocket and pointed it to Niamh.
“You’ve been playing me like a monkey! “ Hannah roared out, looking very aggressive. “I will not let you leave today! I will definitely not let you leave! Ah!“
Suddenly, Hannah lost control of her emotions and rushed toward Niamh.
At this moment, the door of the rooftop was kicked open and a figure rushed toward Hannah’s side like a sharp sword being pulled out of its sheath.
Hannah was pushed over by a strong force. When she looked up and saw clearly, Kendrick had come to Niamh’s side, tightly protecting her in his arms.
Hannah gritted her teeth fiercely. When she got up to continue attacking Niamh, Kendrick suddenly lifted his long legs and kicked the fruit knife in Hannah’s hand far away.
“Enough is enough! “
Kendrick said angrily, his sharp eyes pierced at Hannah mercilessly like icy blades.
Hannah raised her scarlet eyes unwillingly and looked into Kendrick’s eyes.
“Kendrick, how can you be so cruel? We even…“
“Stop your wishful thinking. Nothing happened between us, “ Kendrick interrupted Hannah without thinking.
He loosened Niamh a little bit and peered at Hannah who seemed to be possessed with his handsome but cold face.
Her eyes were wet and red. It was evident that she was having an emotional breakdown.
“Hannah, my wife didn’t fool you. The only person who fooled you from start to finish was Carter Gray. Nothing happened between me and you. You were just being used by him. He used something to give you hallucinations so that’s why you mistakenly think that something happened between you and m e, but in fact, nothing happened.“
After Kendrick said that, Hannah’s entire face instantly stiffened. She was completely dumbfounded as she stood on her ground motionlessly as if she had turned into stone.
Upon seeing her like this, Niamh stepped forward and explained, “What Kendrick said is true. Nothing happened between you and him. It was Carter’s scheme all along. He was just using you.“
“No…” Hannah shook her head, unable to accept this. “No, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it!”
“You should believe it, and you should be grateful for the truth.” Niamh patiently convinced, “ Hannah, you thought something happened to you and Kendrick, so you feel as if you have been abandoned and you are very unwilling and angry.
But, in fact, you are still innocent and intact. No one has let anyone down or abandoned anyone, so you should just let this matter go.”
After listening to what Niamh said, Hannah was dumbfounded for a moment before she reacted.
“Haha…”
She suddenly lost control and started cackling. “Hahaha…”
Niamh and Kendrick looked at each other. They both felt that Hannah’s mannerism was becoming very strange.
“Hallucinations? Have I been hallucinating it all?“ Hannah asked, but her eyes turned malevolent. “ Eveline, do you think I don’t know? You just made up such a lie to prevaricate me because you don’t want me to seek justice for myself. I’m not a three-year- old kid. I can tell right from wrong! “
“You can’t. When you lost consciousness, you didn’t even know that you had merely been dreaming.“
Niamh still patiently explained, “Hannah, if you don’t believe it, you can go to a hospital for an examination. The doctor will tell you your current physical condition, and you’ll immediately know that your body is still intact because everything you thought has happened is just a dream in your head. “ “A dream? Heh.“
Hannah smiled bitterly. The redness in her eyes gradually disappeared, and endless tears escaped from her eyes.
“So, all this while, I’ve been the dramatic one? I was just having wishful thinking of ending up with Mr. Waldburg. And I even went to the lobby of Waldburg Corporation hall to make a scene. Heh, hehe, hahaha
Hannah laughed loudly, sounding madder and madder.
She felt what she had done before was a big joke. She kept saying that Kendrick did not want to be responsible for her after sleeping with her when, in fact, it was just a farce she created herself. She felt that she had lost all her dignity.
Niamh thought Hannah’s laugh sounded a bit off. When she was about to discuss with Kendrick how they should end this, Hannah suddenly ran toward the edge of the rooftop.
“Hannah! “
Niamh hurriedly ran after her. “Don’t do anything stupid! “
“Nia! “ Kendrick, worried by the sight of Niamh running after Hannah, dashed toward her.
There was a fence on the roof, but since Hannah was determined to end her life, she immediately climbed over the fence and her body instantly plummeted.
Niamh did not hesitate for even a second before she stretched out her hand to grab Hannah who was falling.
Hannah, who had lost her center of gravity, was suspended in mid-air. The bleak cold wind blew over, and the soles of her feet fell upon the cold air, sending a chill through her entire body.
The weightless feeling at this moment sobered and terrified her.
Niamh clung to Hannah’s hand tightly and used all her strength to try to pull Hannah up.
Hannah probably had not expected Niamh to come to her rescue without hesitation. In a daze, she stared at Niamh who held onto her.
Amidst Hannah’s moment of inattentiveness, Kendrick appeared behind Niamh.
“Nia! “ he nervously called out to Niamh, worried about her safety.
“Kendrick, help me pull her up,“ Niamh urged Kendrick in an anxious tone.
Without even hesitating for a split second, Kendrick pulled Hannah up as instructed by Niamh.
However, Hannah suddenly lost her temper and resisted, “Eveline, drop the act. I don’t need your help! Let me go! Let go!“
“Hannah, you only have one life. Do you think it’s worth it to give up your life like this? You should be thankful that you and Kendrick are innocent. You can still start over when you return to your city. Why do you want to do such a stupid thing?“
“Shut up! Shut up! Eveline, I don’t want to hear anything from you! You just want me to die! Why would you think of saving me? You’d be overjoyed at my death! Let me go! I won’t accept this false righteousness from a hypocritical woman like you! “
“Shut up! “ Kendrick, suddenly furious, shot his cold, stern eyes at Hannah. “If you really want to die, I ‘ll pull Nia away and let you die. But if you don’t want to die, shut your mouth immediately. If you dare badmouth my wife again, I’ll let go immediately! “
Kendrick was not joking. His sharp eyes told Hannah that he did not have the patience to be kind to her. His tolerance for her had already reached its limit.
After Kendrick had said that, Hannah momentarily fell silent.
She looked at Kendrick dazedly, thinking about her wishful thinking of wanting to end up with this man who had done nothing but ignore her until the very end. She then felt even more disrespected and humiliated.
When she heard Kendrick talking to her like that, even though Hannah’s heart was ridden with fear, she felt that Kendrick was just scaring her and that he would not really let go. Moreover, Niamh would never allow him to let go even if he would.
After thinking about it, Hannah braced herself, gritted her teeth, and said, “Just let go! I didn’t even ask you two to help me. Mr. Waldburg, if you’re siding with this woman, you should just side with her till the end. Out of sight, out of mind. Let go now! “
Hannah looked sterned and seemed to be welcoming death, but her arms were already sore.
The biting cold wind whizzed across her face, and her pained cheeks felt as if they were being scraped by a razor blade.
“Nia, since she doesn’t want to live, then we don’t have to waste our energy any further, “ Kendrick said, ready to let go. “Kendrick, don’t let go.“
Niamh instructed; her expression full of worry.
“Nia, she leaped over the fence saying that she wanted to die. She even said she doesn’t want us to save her. So, why should we trouble ourselves? Since she is so desperate to end her life, we should just let go.
After Kendrick finished speaking, he was about to pull Niamh away.
