When she felt that she had done enough, she decided to go vent her anger on Ava.
She was so aggrieved and wanted to release everything on Ava so that she could avenge herself.
However, as the cab drove along the street, she noticed from the rearview mirror that a car seemed to be following her.
Esther cursed unhappily and asked the driver to drive into the junction in front.
Then, the car behind also drove into the same junction. However, when the car drove into the junction, Esther had already gotten out of the car and was looking over at the car with an enigmatic smile.
On the way to the police station just now, Niamh had persuaded Kendrick to let her get out of the car halfway.
She returned to the location near the Mendez family’s manor to try to see if Esther would go out again. Not long after, Niamh did manage to wait until Esther went out. Then, she called a cab to follow behind Esther’s cab.
She did not expect Esther to notice her.
When the driver saw that the car he was following had stopped in front of him, he turned his head and asked Niamh.
“Miss, do you still want to follow them?”
“No, thank you.” Niamh directly got out of the car after paying the fare.
Esther was a little surprised to see Niamh getting out of the car, but at the same time, she was not too surprised
“Mrs. Waldburg, why are you following me?” Esther asked with a smile.
Niamh stepped forward and parted her lips with a light smile. “Everyone can use the road. Are you the one who paved this road, Mrs. Mendez?”
The smile on Esther’s face was even more meaningful now. “I’ve heard that you were very articulate, and now, it seems that this is really the case. But you know best whether you’re truly just coincidentally passing by.”
Niamh pursed her lips and smiled calmly, her eyes meeting Esther’s gaze like a torch.
“Mrs. Mendez, you also should best why you’re out at this time and even deliberately circled the streets.”
“Oh? Really? I just find staying at the house very boring. And I felt irritated when you uninvited guests barged in, so I came out to ease my mood.”
Esther’s tone was relaxed. She did not take Niamh seriously at all.
“Since you like to follow me so much, Mrs. Waldburg, go ahead. We can even have a cup of coffee together if you’re interested.”
Esther turned around and was about to get in the cab when she unexpectedly heard Niamh’s free and easy voice behind her.
“Since you’re inviting me so politely, then I won’t refuse. I also happen to have something to ask you, Mrs. Mendez, so let’s have a cup of coffee together.”
Niamh said as she walked to the car.
Esther was stunned for a moment, not expecting Niamh to follow suit.
She did not know what to do, so she got into the car first.
After Niamh got into the car, Esther gave the name of a coffee shop and did not speak anymore.
Niamh did not speak either, but she was still very satisfied with the result.
She believed that as long as she could get Esther’s movements at this time, then Ava would not be in so much danger.
But Ava, where are you now?
‘I hope Kendrick can get the surveillance footage as soon as possible to find where your whereabouts.’
Niamh prayed silently in her heart. Over here, Kendrick was also keeping track of Niamh’s movement. When he saw Niamh entering a coffee shop, he called Niamh curiously.
Niamh received a call from Kendrick right after she sat down. She did not hesitate before answering it. After briefly telling him what was going on, she hung up.
Inside the coffee shop.
Niamh and Esther sat face-to-face.
Esther picked up the hot coffee that was just served, took a sip, and spoke first.
“Mrs. Waldburg, you have three children, right? I heard that your only daughter was tortured to the point where she couldn’t speak by a woman in a gang. She’s still mute now. I wonder if it’s true.”
The sudden mention of Lily, who got so frightened by Lana that she lost her courage to speak, made Niamh feel a little uncomfortable.
However, she still calmly raised her eyes and parted her lips lightly. “Mrs. Mendez, you can just say what you want to. We’ve already reached this point, and some things are already tacitly understood. There’s no need to beat about the bush.”
Esther pulled the corners of her red lips into a halfsmile. “I really don’t understand what you mean when you say those words. I’m just curious if your daughter was ever scared into a mute.” Niamh could hear that Esther was hiding something in her sentence. She maintained a composed attitude and replied calmly, “Yes, my daughter can’t speak yet.”
“Tsk tsk.” Esther sighed. “How do you feel as a mother when you see your daughter being bullied like that by outsiders?”
Hearing this, Niamh seemed to gradually understand what Esther wanted to convey.
Niamh did not avoid Esther’s question. She replied calmly, “No mother can stand idly by when their precious daughter is being bullied.”
Niamh replied. At the same time, she also saw the look of satisfaction in Esther’s eyes, but Niamh was not done. 1
“However, if my daughter is the one at fault, she deserves it even if she’s taught a lesson.”
“Furthermore, if it’s because I, her mother, failed to educate my child on how to be a decent human since childhood, which resulted in my child harming others and themselves, then as her mother, I can only regret not educating her well enough. The only way to rectify it is to let society and the law teach her how to be a decent human. So at the end of the day, I, her mother, am equally to blame.”
After listening to Niamh’s words, the smile on Esther’s face gradually disappeared.
She wanted to take this opportunity to show that her actions were justifiable even if she were to do something drastic, but she did not expect Niamh to say that.
“Mrs. Mendez, what happened to your daughter has been going on for so long. After all this time, have you really never realized that the problem is with you and your daughter?”
Esther was already a little unhappy, but at this moment, when Niamh accused her and Naya, she threw the cup on the table and stood up furiously.
“Eveline, are you saying that my daughter brought it upon herself? How dare you say such a thing?! Naya is too soft-hearted, so that’s how you got the opportunity to force her into what the situation she’s in now.”
Esther scolded, her dramatic behavior attracting the attention of other customers in the shop.
Niamh looked calmly at Esther who was suddenly furious.
“Naya is indeed your biological daughter, Mrs. Mendez. You’re equally selfish. You’ll both blow up the moment you’re lit. You’re both always so selfcentered, and you two never think you’re the ones at fault.”
“Eveline, you
“
“Mrs. Mendez, do you really wish for your daughter to stay 25 years in prison? Don’t you want her to repent genuinely and get the chance to be released early?”
Niamh stood up as well, her eyes becoming sharp.
“I know you’re very much aware of where Ava is now. I know you want to avenge your precious daughter, I know you want to have a life and death struggle with us and have a huge fallout, but if something happens to Ava, your daughter will be the mastermind who instigated a murder. When that happens, she’ll be given the death penalty immediately. She won’t just be locked up for 25 years.”
After hearing this, Esther was about to explode in rage.
“You… Eveline, you dare curse my daughter?”
“I’m not cursing her; I’m telling the truth.” A sharp light gradually shot out from Niamh’s eyes.“ You’re my elder, so it’s impossible that you don’t understand these things. As a mother, you should set the right attitude and worldview for your child rather than ignorantly doting on her and allowing her to take a road of no return.”
“Shut up, Eveline! Stop talking!” Esther could not contain herself anymore. “I don’t need you to lecture me. How I educate my daughter has nothing to do with you. You should mind your own business and remember this. Naya was not driven to a dead end by Ava alone. You had a part in this too!”
Esther turned to leave after leaving what sounded like a warning
Niamh did not delay for a second. She immediately followed after Esther and quietly called Kendrick from her watch. “Kendrick, I’m going to follow Esther now. There’s a chance that something bad might happen, so let’s keep connected first. If I’m in any danger, you can follow the GPS location to find me.”
Niamh said this very quickly and hurriedly followed Esther.
Esther knew that Niamh was following her. The evil look on her face grew more intense.
The grievance that she felt for Naya grew bigger and bigger after accumulating in her heart.
“Eveline, since you want to follow me so badly, then I’ll help you accomplish your goal,” Esther whispered through gritted teeth.
She turned her eyes and looked to the window on the side at Niamh’s reflection. Indeed, she was following her. A sinister cold light flowed out from Esther’s eyes.
After walking for a while, Esther stopped and made a phone call.
After hanging up the call, she turned around, her eyes locking on Niamh not far away. “Eveline, you must be quite tired after following me for so long, right?”
Niamh smiled and walked over to Esther. “Why? Mrs. Graham, do you want to sit down for a cup of coffee with me again?” 3
“I want to ask you to sit down and rest, but not here.” Esther smiled, her smile looking abnormally hypocritical but meaningful.
Niamh had roughly figured out what was going on, but she was not anxious or panicking.
It was most likely because she knew Kendrick was listening, so her heart was beating steadily.
“I wonder where you want me to go, Mrs. Graham?” 1
