Ava did not nod or shake her head when she heard that. Instead, she just smiled.
“Mr. Lowe just told me that his dad was always pestered by a stubborn headache, but he was cured after seeing that doctor. Maybe I’m benefitting from association with him and got myself a lift.”
“I see.” Niamh was rueful. 2
Ava wanted to say something more, but suddenly, Pudding appeared in front of her. Asmile appeared on her face at once, and she quickly walked over to Pudding to pick him up.
Niamh smiled and also wanted to go over, but Kendrick suddenly appeared next to her and stopped her.
“Nia.”
“Kendrick, when did you come back?”
“I just parked the car.” After Kendrick said that, he took out a pink invitation card from his pocket. “ Nia, look at what this is.”
Niamh took the invitation card from Kendrick suspiciously. After opening it, she saw that the name on the invitation letter was someone she didn’t know. However, the contents of the invitation letter surprised Niamh.
“Dan is going to marry Naya?”
Kendrick frowned. “I saw this invitation letter when someone else was reading it. Judging from Naya’s arrogant and proud behavior, she probably doesn’t want any unforeseen complications. That’s probably why she didn’t invite us or Ava.”
“She definitely wants to nip this in the bud so it’ ll be too late for us to do anything after this. Even if Dan regains his memory, there’s no way to change the fact that he and Naya are married.” Niamh exposed Naya’s dirty tricks.
Kendrick thought so too. He looked in front of him and saw that Ava was playing with Pudding. “Nia, are you going to tell Ava about this?” Niamh looked at Ava who had a smile on her face and shook her head. “I’m going to go see Naya.”
“Nia, I’ll go with you.”
“No, I can go by myself.” Niamh smiled. “ Don’t worry, I can handle it.”
Of course, Kendrick knew that Naya was not on the same level as his wife. However, he was still a little worried.
“If anything happens, be sure to notify me as soon as possible.”
“I will.” Niamh promised.
In order to not waste any time, Niamh drove directly to Graham Manor the next day.
As soon as she arrived at the gate, Niamh sawa big congratulations banner hanging above it. It was clear that what was said in the invitation letter was the truth.
Daniel and Naya’s marriage was real.
Niamh parked the car and walked toward the gate. Before she got close, she saw that the servants in the yard were busy making arrangements.
“Work faster. I hired you to work, so why are you so slow?” Daniel’s mother urged the servants impatiently.
After Daniel’s mother scolded and complained about the servants, she turned around and saw Niamh, who was walking in through the gate. : “Eveline?” Daniel’s mother was very surprised. She then turned around and walked toward Niamh. “Eveline, what are you doing in our house? You’re not welcomed here.”
“You’re right. This is Graham Manor, and it doesn’t belong to just you. So, that’s why I’m here to look for Dan and not you,” Niamh said and walked inside calmly.
Daniel’s mother was furious when she saw that Niamh was still stubborn. She immediately chased after Niamh. “Eveline, this is my house and I’m the matriarch of this house. I didn’t let you in, so who do you think you are to barge in? Somebody, hurry up and kick her out!”
“I asked her to come.” Daniel’s voice suddenly sounded in front of them.
Daniel’s mother froze in her tracks. When she saw Daniel standing not far away from them, she quickly ran over with a look of nervousness on her face. “Dan, did you remember something? Why would you ask this person to come here?”
When Daniel heard what his mother said, he asked with even more curiosity, “Are you saying that it’s more probable for me to invite her over after I remember something?”
“Um…” His mother did not know how to retort. “ Not entirely. I just think that you don’t have much of a relationship with her, so there’s no need for you both to see each other. You’re just normal friends from university.”
Daniel’s mother was perfunctory with him. When she saw that Daniel was insisting on letting Niamh into the house, she did not say no. Instead, she quickly walked to one side and called Naya.
Naya was trying on a wedding gown in the bridal shop. After receiving the call from Daniel’s mother, she immediately drove back.
She was worried that Niamh would tell Daniel something negative about her. She did not want anything to go wrong at this crucial time.
Back in the house.
Daniel asked Niamh to sit down, then asked the servant to bring them some tea and snacks.
“You’re Ava’s friend, Eveline.” Daniel looked at Niamh. It sounded as if he was confirming their relationship.
Niamh smiled slightly. “Dan, you’re right. I’m Ava’s friend, but I’m also your friend. We’ve always been good friends.”
Daniel pondered thoughtfully as if he was digesting the information Niamh had just given him.
“Do you have no memory of the past at all?” Daniell looked up and shook his head gently. “It seems that something is blocking the nerves to the part of my brain that’s associated with memory, so I can’t remember anything about the past. I have to think hard about it, but it’ll cause my head to feel heavy.”
“Then don’t think too hard,” Niamh suggested. “I know a doctor who’s a very authoritative neurologist. He’s very confident that he’ll be able to cure you after he heard about your situation. Whenever you’ re free, I can take you to see him.”
“Ava told me as well that she knew a very good neurologist…”
“It’s the same doctor Ava mentioned. He’s an authoritative figure in the field and also very skillful.” Niamh confirmed.
“Actually, I’m always free,” Daniel said. “I’m fine with any time, but—”
“Dan, don’t listen to her nonsense. There’s no such doctor.” Daniel’s mother came over and interrupted them. After that, she warned Niamh in a very unfriendly tone, “Eveline, I won’t quibble with you if you came to give Dan your blessing for his marriage, but if you’re here for something else, then I have to ask you to leave immediately.”
Niamh calmly listened to Mrs. Graham’s words and raised her eyebrows calmly. “When Dan and Ava get married, I’ll definitely give them my best wishes. But if it’s with Naya? Don’t even think about it.”
“…” Mrs. Graham’s face froze. She wanted to lose her temper and retort, but she soon heard what Niamh said to Daniel.
“Dan, it’s precisely because you’ve lost your memory that you can’t be at the mercy of others. The woman you loved the most before your memory loss was Ava, and you also proposed to Ava in front of everyone. Ava agreed to marry you. Plus, she has been worrying about you every day since your accident, so you can’t let her down.” “Eveline, don’t make up nonsense and tell such lies to fool Dan. It’s clear that everything is all that woman’s wishful thinking and one-sided—” “God is always watching. The truth can’t be covered up with just a few lies by you people,” Niamh interrupted Daniel’s mother coldly and decisively.
At this moment, Daniel’s eyebrows were already tightly furrowed. He seemed to be feeling very troubled by Niamh’s argument with his mother. Naturally, Daniel’s mother did not have Niamh’s aura. She wanted to retort, but after she thought about it, she could not come up with the right words.
Niamh was very calm. She lifted the tea to her lips and slowly took a sip.
Daniel’s mother was fuming as she watched that. “Eveline, you’ve said what you needed to say, so you can leave now. Stop hindering our family from celebrating this joyous celebration.”
“I’ll leave after I see the person I’m waiting for.” Niamh placed her teacup down slowly and calmly.
Daniel’s mother was confused. “You’re waiting for someone? Who?”
The second Daniel’s mother finished talking, Naya quickly ran over from the doorway.
Naya was trying on wedding gowns at a bridal shop near Graham Manor, so it did not take much time for her to get there. Moreover, she was speeding all the way, so she arrived quickly. Niamh heard the footsteps and looked back. When she saw Naya’s hurried expression, she raised her pink lips slightly. “Miss Mendez, you came so quickly. Were you afraid that if you delayed for even a second, I would ruin your meticulous plans?”
Naya’s face sank, but since Daniel was here, she knew that she had to put on an act.
She immediately responded with an aggrieved expression, “Mrs. Waldburg, I really don’t understand what you mean by that. I know you and Ava are very good friends, but this is not how you should help your friend. You can’t slander me again and again.”
In the face of Naya’s fake disguise, Niamh only gave her a cold look with an unwavering expression.
“Naya, your acting skills are really superb. You can do one thing in front of others and do something completely different thing behind their backs. These tricks can only deceive those ignorant women and children.”
Daniel’s mother felt that Niamh was mocking her when she heard the words ‘ignorant women and children’.
She smacked her lips in dissatisfaction but did not seem to want to interrupt.
Daniel’s mother simply stood at the side as she knew that Naya still had some fighting spirit left in her.
Naya started to stand up for herself at this moment. She turned toward Niamh quite imposingly and retorted, “Mrs. Waldburg, don’t go too far. Although the Montgomery and Waldburg families have great power, this doesn’t mean you can bully me whenever you want.”
Naya walked up to Daniel with a face full of grievances. “Dan, I don’t know what Mrs. Waldburg told you, but you must not believe her. Since the day I decided to stay by your side when I was a child, my heart has always been yours. I’ve never lied to you.”
Naya raised her eyes while forcing tears to well up in them. She looked pitifully at Daniel who had a frown on his face.
Daniel did not say anything. Instead, he just looked at Naya.
Niamh looked down on such dirty tricks that Naya loved to pull the most. Naya knew how to put on an act, but Niamh knew how to expose her.
However, Naya was also worried that Niamh would say something that would make Daniel suspect her. Hence, she decided to gain the initiative by striking first.
“Mrs. Waldburg, please leave. I can stop pursuing you for your slander against me because you and Dan went to the same university back then. However, please stop disturbing me and Dan. We’re getting married soon and don’t want to be disturbed by irrelevant people. Please leave.” Naya wanted badly to kick Niamh out at once. However, Niamh stood up slowly. “Naya, you were so confident when you told Ava that even if Dan regains his memory, Ava will never get back together with Dan. I was curious about it, but I understand now. So, this is how you want to get your hands on Dan who has lost his memories.
Naya, you want to trick Dan into marriage.” Naya’s expression changed immediately when Niamh exposed her plan all of a sudden. She was worried that Daniel would believe it, so she tried her best to maintain her good girl image in front of Daniel.
“Mrs. Waldburg, I’ve never said something like that. I’ve never met Ava alone either. Stop making false accusations against me. I know you’re only saying these things to ruin my relationship with Dan for your good friend, but—”
“But Naya, you did say that, and you did meet Ava.”
“I didn’t.” Naya was still denied this. Then, she looked at Daniel who was silent the entire time. “ Dan, I really didn’t meet up with Ava.”
“Naya, you talk so much crap, but in the end, you still can’t win against the footage captured by the dashcam in my car. That disgusting and arrogant expression you showed when you were in front of the florist isn’t the same as this good girl image you’re putting on now. Do you want me to play the video so that Dan can admire it too?”
ay
When Naya heard this, her confidence from a second ago was utterly crushed.
She opened her mouth to retort but was even more afraid that Niamh would show Daniel the footage from that moment.
