Dan’s sake. I had no idea that such a thing would happen to him not long after I gave my agreement. I got someone to check your star signs and you two are just not meant to be. If you two continue to be together, Dan will suffer even worse things in the future!”
Daniel’s mother suddenly started talking about star signs, but Niamh knew that it was all an excuse.
She wanted to speak up for Ava, but at this moment, Ava held Niamh’s hand very calmly.
She was also showing a slight smile, which did not seem forced at all. It looked as though it came from the heart.
“Niamh, I suddenly feel a little hungry. Why don’t you accompany me to eat something?” The meaning of Ava’s words was obvious. She did not want to argue anymore and just wanted to leave. Niamh respected Ava’s wishes, so she picked up her bag and turned around with Ava to leave.
“Wait.”
Naya suddenly stopped them.
Niamh and Ava paused, while Naya stepped forward.
They thought she wanted to look for trouble with Ava, but Naya walked up to Niamh instead.
“Mrs. Waldburg, you truly are something else. In order to help your good friend, you have targeted me again and again. You even set up a trap to frame me. Now, you’re pointing at me and calling me a cruel and despicable woman. Eveline, do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you have the support of the Waldburgs and Montgomeries? Let me tell you, I won’t be afraid of you. I must sue you this time for ruining my reputation!”
Niamh smiled gracefully and calmly when she saw Naya’s dignified and upright appearance.
“Okay, sue me if you want. I’ll be waiting for your lawyer’s letter.”
“Just you wait!” Naya seemed to say that through gritted teeth.
Niamh glanced at Naya indifferently before taking Ava’s hand and leaving together.
Naya stared at Niamh’s back in dissatisfaction and snorted coldly. Then, she turned around and put on a gentle demeanor to please Daniel’s mother.
After leaving the hospital, Niamh asked Ava about the situation. Ava knew that Niamh would have doubts, so she quickly explained herself. 2
“Niamh, you want to ask me why I’m leaving just like this, right? You want to ask why I’m letting Dan’s mother and Naya defame my relationship with Dan?”
Ava said and raised a relieved smile.
“Actually, I didn’t consider much. I just want Dan to rest and recover quickly.”
Ava’s explanation touched Niamh quite a bit. This was how a person who truly loved someone would act.
As long as the other party was alright, nothing else mattered.
Niamh understood this feeling too well, so she did not say anything.
However, Ava was a little worried. “Niamh, Naya just said that she’s going to sue you. You have to be careful.”
Niamh nodded. “Don’t worry. She can’t do anything to me.”
She smiled and did not take it to heart at all, but three days later, Niamh really received a lawyer’s letter.
After seeing that, Niamh thought it was ridiculous, but Kendrick was dissatisfied.
How dare Naya sue Niamh?
She was even suing Niamh for ruining her reputation.
This was downright ridiculous.
Niamh did not want to deal with Naya’s ridiculous behavior and left it to her own team of lawyers to deal with it.
However, Kendrick did not want Niamh to suffer such grievances. Even though he knew that Naya could not successfully sue Niamh, Kendrick decided to deal with it in person in order to avenge his precious wife.
Mendez Group.
Naya’s father was having a meeting with the senior executives in the conference room. At this moment, someone knocked hurriedly on the glass door of the conference room. A second later, a
Of course, the senior executives were very dissatisfied with the behavior of the female secretary. However, Ethan knew very well that the secretary would not do this unless there was something urgent.
“What happened?” Ethan asked with a frown. The female secretary pointed toward the door, “ Kendrick —”
However, before the female secretary could finish her sentence, a deep, lazy but powerful voice came from the door of the conference room.
“I’m sorry to interrupt the meeting.”
Ethan and the other senior executives looked up when they heard the voice. Kendrick’s cold and handsome face immediately caught their eyes. Everyone present knew Kendrick. Mendez Group had wanted to cooperate with Waldburg Corporation on several projects before but they never had the chance. Ethan was very surprised to see Kendrick here.
He was even more surprised by the manner Kendrick chose to show up in.
It was obvious Kendrick was not here to talk business. He was wearing a very casual tracksuit with no assistant following him. He had one hand in his pocket, while the other was holding a piece of paper that looked like a letter. He looked more like he was here for a casual visit.
Although Kendrick seemed to be dressed casually, his innate noble temperament remained undiminished.
“Mr. Waldburg, what’s the matter? Why are you making such a sudden and urgent visit?” Ethan got up and asked politely. The other senior executives were also embarrassed to continue sitting.
Kendrick raised his delicate eyebrows, waved his right hand, and threw the lawyer’s letter sent by Naya onto the conference table.
“Mr. Mendez, take a look at what this is first.” Ethan looked at it suspiciously. The female secretary on the side immediately picked up the lawyer’s letter and handed it to Ethan.
When Ethan opened it, his expression changed. Then, he instantly understood why Kendrick had barged into the conference room so suddenly. Kendrick put his hands in his pockets and parted his lips coldly.
“Mr. Mendez, you’ re doing a good job managing such a big company, but why don’t you know how to discipline your own daughter?” Ethan paused in embarrassment. “Mr. Waldburg one ?
“Before this, your daughter had already madea fool of herself in public. Then, she put on a great performance with that so-called influencer to frame my wife’s good friend. As a result, her despicable true nature was exposed. Why are these two incidents not enough for her to remember her lesson?” |
Kendrick did not show mercy at all. He listed Naya’s wrongdoings one by one In front of all the senior executives of Mendez Group.
Ethan felt embarrassed just hearing it, but Naya was still his daughter, after all. Hence, Ethan wanted to protect his daughter’s prestige, but Kendrick’s tone grew even sharper.
“I don’t care if your daughter was spoiled since she was a child. Since she doesn’t know the most basic principles of being a human being and decided to lay a finger on my wife, coupled with the fact that your family doesn’t know how to discipline her, then I’ll let her know what it means to be disciplined by society.”
After Kendrick said that, the entire conference room was so silent that only the sounds of breathing could be heard.
Everyone present understood what Kendrick meant very clearly.
The daughter of the Mendezes had offended Kendrick’s wife. Therefore, the young master of Glendale came here to criticize Ethan.
Ethan held the lawyer’s letter from the Mendezes in his hand and frowned, his head aching.
This unruly daughter had gotten into enough trouble recently. Ethan did not expect her to cause trouble again. How great! This time, she even provoked the person who was the most difficult to deal with in Glendale.
Ethan was a well-behaved businessman, and he was also kind in dealing with others. This time, he hoped that he would be able to make this issue on hand sound less serious and then reduce it to nothing at all. With that approach in mind, he was very polite and apologetic to Kendrick.
“Mr. Waldburg, I’m really sorry for causing trouble to you and your wife. My daughter has been arrogant and self-willed since she was a child. No matter how her mother and I discipline her, it just doesn’t work. This time, she’s done such a thing to cause you so much trouble. Mr. Waldburg, if you trust me, I’ll handle this matter properly and will let that unruly girl look for you to apologize in person.” |
“There is no need to apologize because she won’t be sincere in her apology anyway. I have some faith in you, Mr. Mendez, so 1 won’t pursue this matter. But I want to remind you that when you go back, please be sure to discipline your daughter. Otherwise, someone will definitely take action to discipline your daughter in the future.”
“Mr. Waldburg, you’ re right. I’ll take good care of that stubborn girl when I go back.” Ethan promised. “Mr. Waldburg, let me walk you out.” Kendrick felt a lot more comfortable seeing that Ethan’s attitude was so sincere. Hence, he decided to let Naya off the hook on behalf of Ethan this time.
Ethan accompanied Kendrick to the door of the conference room. “I’m really sorry for making you take this trip, Mr. Waldburg. In fact, I’ve always wanted to visit you at Waldburg Corporation to see if there’s any chance for us to cooperate. Waldburg Corporation is a multinational group. If we’re given the honor to cooperate with you, then we, Mendez Group, will definitely do our best.”
Ethan was trying to get the desired outcome through flattery.
Kendrick was not against Mendez Group. Mutually beneficial cooperation would be good for everyone, but he really despised Naya. Hence, Kendrick casually replied, “Mr. Mendez, you’re very kind. If there’s a chance in the future, we can work together.”
Ethan was elated when he heard it. “It would be great to have that chance.”
However, just as they were about to reach the door of the conference room, someone arrogantly said from outside, “So what if he’s ina meeting? That’s my daddy and I can look for him whenever I want. Who do you think you are? How dare a watchdog like you stop me?”
Upon hearing these unruly words, the smile on Ethan’s face suddenly stiffened.
The senior executives and female secretary who were still in the conference room were not surprised when they heard Naya’s arrogant words. Naya’s image in the public was a well- informed young mistress of an affluent family. That was also what they thought in the beginning. However, after some time, they gradually saw Naya’s true colors.
This unruly lady could not be described as willful a tall.
As such, they were not surprised when they heard that Naya had teamed up with Chloe to frame Ava because Naya was indeed that kind of person.
She was not what she seemed. She was hypocritical and contrived. Plus, she was great at playing dirty tricks.
They had seen through her now.
Naya came looking for Ethan so that she could get their team of lawyers to sue Niamh. Who knew when she turned around and stepped into the door of the conference room, her eyes met Kendrick’s deep and bottomless gaze that was chill- inducing. ’
Naya stopped abruptly, and her expression displayed utter dismay.
She looked at Kendrick for a few seconds before striding over to Ethan’s side.
“Daddy, why is he here? What is he doing in Mendez Group’s conference room?” Naya used a puzzled tone and reached out to hold Ethan’s hand with a hint of pamperedness.
Ethan’s face sank as he pushed Naya’s outstretched hand away. “How dare you ask Mr. Waldburg why he’s here? Ask yourself what you’ve done!”
Naya had never seen her father get so angry with her, so she was stunned. When she came back to her senses, she realized there were so many people watching in the conference room. She felt embarrassed and ashamed. Hence, her temper started to rise again.
