As soon as Niamh finished speaking, an unremarkable-looking black sedan stopped on the side of the road.
Esther glanced at the car before walking over to the car and opening the door of the backseat. “Eveline, do you dare to get in the car with me?”
Niamh stepped forward calmly. “I think if I don’t get in the car, it should be difficult to meet the person I want to meet, right?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but if you don’t get in the car, I’m leaving.” Esther’s tone was full of provocation for fear that Niamh would not dare to get in the car.
Worried that Niamh would change her mind, Esther got into the car first and pretended like she was going to ask the driver to drive away.
Niamh raised her hand and said something to her watch without being noticed. Then, she got into the car decisively and sat beside Esther.
Esther seemed to be relieved. Then, she immediately gave the driver the command, “Drive.” 1
The driver understood and immediately started the car.
Niamh quietly observed the scenery outside the window, wanting to remember the road to their destination. However, she found that the driver was taking detours, obviously not wanting her to figure out the route.
However, despite this, the smartwatch worn by Niamh recorded the route completely.
Kendrick, who was on the other end of the phone, was also listening carefully to the situation in the car. However, it seemed that there was no communication in the car.
It seemed pretty safe so far, but Kendrick was still worried about Niamh.
Kendrick was about to go after Niamh according to the data sent by Niamh’s smartwatch when he suddenly heard Esther speak.
“Eveline, the place I’m going to take you to is very private, so you have to turn off your phone now. Take off your jewelry and your watch. Leave them in the car.”
Esther stared at Niamh with sly eyes.
“I’ve long heard that Mr. Waldburg is very concerned about you, so he installed tracking devices on the jewelry you wear. If you don’t want to take them off, your journey today will only end here.” Niamh understood what Esther meant and glanced at the watch that was still connected to a call.
Niamh could not hear what Kendrick was saying on the other end of the line at the moment because the volume was turned down to the lowest. However, she could probably guess that Kendrick must be trying desperately to stop her and asking her to get out of the car.
However, Niamh removed her phone, watch, and some jewelry according to Esther’s wishes. She did not end the call, though.
Esther, pleased with Niamh’s actions, told the driver to stop the car.
Niamh looked up and saw a place she had never been to before.
This place was not very secluded, and there were still a small number of cars on the street.
After Esther got out of the car, she asked Niamh to follow her. Niamh took a look at the surrounding situation before following Esther.
After walking for 20 minutes, Niamh saw the dilapidated buildings that were about to be demolished in front of her.
Niamh had a strong feeling that Ava was inside.
She sped up a little uncontrollably, but reason told her not to be impulsive.
Esther took Niamh into one of the buildings that seemed to be collapsing. After reaching the third floor, Niamh heard noises that sounded like a beating was happening in the empty corridor.
She was startled. After she saw the smug look on Esther’s face, Niamh’s eyes darkened. She ran to the house where the sound came from without saying a word. As soon as she ran in, she saw a tall man beating Ava who was curled up on the ground in front of him. She could not fight back. Niamh felt a pain in her heart as she ran to Ava without thinking.
“Ava!”
Niamh ran over and pushed the man who wanted to attack Ava away.
The man was dissatisfied with being pushed away and wanted to teach Niamh a lesson. However, at this moment, he received an order from Esther to stop.
Niamh glanced at Esther who walked slowly to the door. She quickly squatted to the ground, holding the frightened Ava in her arms.
“Ava.”
As Niamh called Ava’s name and looked at Ava who was covered in bruises and was still bleeding, she felt as if a knife had been stabbed into her heart.
Ava was still conscious, so she lifted her exhausted eyes. The wound on the corner of her eye was still bleeding
“Niamh, am I dreaming?” Ava asked weakly.
Niamh’s tears started to fall as she held Ava tightly. “It’s me, Ava. You’re not dreaming.”
“Really? I’m not?” Ava took a deep breath and closed her eyes. However, the next second, she pushed Niamh away with all of her might. “Run, hurry. Esther is a lunatic!”
Ava pushed Niamh away with the last bit of her strength.
Niamh almost lost her footing, but she was still hugging Ava, who insisted that she should leave as soon as possible.
“Ava, don’t be afraid. I’m here. I won’t let anyone bully you again,” Niamh promised as she held the trembling Ava.
Having known Ava for so many years, Niamh always had the impression that Ava was strong and upright. She was never afraid of anything, but now, Niamh could feel from Ava’s trembling body how scared she was at the moment.
Looking at the various wounds on Ava’s body, Niamh’s heart was also in excruciating pain.
She could not imagine what Esther had done to Ava in this short period that would cause Ava to be covered in such nasty wounds. 1
Naya’s mother, Esther Bay, was even more extreme than Naya.
Sure enough, only people like that would have children who acted the same.
Niamh hugged Ava in even more distress, while Esther, who was watching this scene, displayed a sinister and disdainful smile on her face.
“Tsk tsk, what a touching sisterhood. I’m so moved.”
Esther said eerily as she walked up to Niamh and Ava.
“Eveline, you were originally one of my targets, but you’re not as impulsive as this fool, so you got lucky. I really didn’t expect you to be willing to follow me just to put yourself in danger for this fool. It seems that you’re not that smart either, and your husband Kendrick is not that worried about you. otherwise, why would he let you take the risk knowing that you’ll be in danger?”
Niamh did not want to answer at all when she heard what Esther said in a smug tone, but Ava felt extremely guilty after hearing it.
She leaned weakly into Niamh’s arms and made an almost inaudible apology. “I’m sorry, Niamh. I was too impulsive. I should’ve listened to you. I shouldn’t have gone after this lunatic. Niamh, I’m sorry…”
Ava’s voice was very soft, but Niamh heard every word.
She furrowed her eyebrows, feeling even more distressed.
“You dummy, no one is blaming you. It’s enough as long as you’re safe,” Niamh comforted softly.
At the moment, Ava could only lean against Niamh’s arms and cry silently.
However, Esther would not be soft-hearted. She would not feel the slightest bit moved by such a scene.
In her opinion, Niamh and Ava were now in her hands, so she would now avenge her daughter.
“I almost can’t bear it after seeing how affectionate you two are.” Esther’s smile became more and more sinister, “why don’t I give you a choice? Only one of you can leave. I’ll give you one minute to discuss and decide who will leave. The one who stays may not see the sun tomorrow.”
After hearing this, Ava’s first reaction was to let Niamh go.
Without hesitation, she tugged on the corner of Niamh’s clothes. “Go, Niamh. Don’t stay here. Go now.”
Niamh could feel how much Ava cared about her, but since she came here, she never thought of leaving.
“Esther, stop joking, since you brought me here, I know you have no plans of letting either one of US go. Just be direct about what you want.” Niamh hugged Ava tightly as she faced Esther who was looking down on them neither obsequiously nor superciliously.
“Hmph.” Esther sneered. “Eveline, it seems that you’re pretty bold. Well then, I want to see just how strong you are.”
“No! ” Ava suddenly shouted as she turned her face to look at Esther. “Esther, the person you hate the most is me. The person you want to deal with is also me. Eveline has no grudges against Naya. All of this is between Naya and me. This has nothing to do with my friends. You can just do anything you want to me!”
Although she was tortured to the point where she was covered with scars and bruises, Ava did not flinch from fear at all.
“Esther, tell your people to continue torturing me. Let Eveline go. You should know that her husband is Kendrick whitman. You must also know his status in Glendale. He loves Eveline so much. If something happens to Eveline, not only will you be doomed. Your entire family will be too.”
Esther frowned. “Are you threatening me? Do you think I’ll be afraid of that at this moment? My daughter has already been sentenced to 25 years in prison. Her future is already over. Do you think I’d still be afraid?”
“Yes, that’s right. Naya’s future is over, but do you want her life to be over too?” Ava struck down at
Esther’s weakness. 1
“How dare you curse my daughter like that, you b* tch?!”
Indeed, Esther started stamping with fury, she grabbed Ava’s blood-stained collar and reached out her hand to slap Ava.
When Niamh saw this, she decisively stopped Esther and pulled Ava back to her.
“Ava is right. I’ve already reminded you about this. You just visited Naya in prison a while ago. If you take action against US at this time, then Naya won’t be able to escape the suspicion of instigating murder. Once she’s convicted of this charge, do you think Naya will merely be locked up?”
“Eveline, how dare you threaten me too?!” Esther glared fiercely at Niamh but then followed with a smirk. “Haha, I know you1 re just saying that because you’re scared. You’re afraid that rn kill you, so you have to scare me like this. It’s alright, don’t be too scared. I won’t kill you. I’ll just make you suffer a pain worse than death.”
Esther’s eyes grew more and more terrifying as she spoke.
Not long after she said that, the driver who drove the car just now came in.
