Then, Karen smirked and said, “Kendrick, your grandpa has pointed out it’s her. Are you still planning to defend her? She’s pretending that she has lost her memories, trying to free herself from being held responsible.”
Her comments made Old Master Waldburg exasperated as he panted out of anger.
“Look for yourself. Look at how angry your grandpa is!”
Kendrick raised his icy-cold gaze and said unpleasantly, “Grandpa is mad because of you two.”
As he was saying, he started packing up the old master’s clothing and passed them over to Niamh. “Nia, we’ll bring Grandpa back home. With you taking care of him, I’m sure Grandpa will recover in no time.”
Niamh let out a smile and came forth to push the wheelchair. “Grandpa, I’ll bring you back home.”
The old master moved his orbs, showing that he was trying to answer Niamh’s comment. His emotions had calmed down as well.
“Kendrick, where do you plan on taking Grandpa to? Back home? Which home? Do you guys still have a home?” asked Karen in a dissatisfactory tone.
However, Kendrick ignored her.
Karen was Kendrick’s mother, but she was not like Kendrick who had already realized his mistakes.
Throughout so many years, she had never given Niamh any ounce of respect, let alone apologized for the things she did to her.
Hence, he decided not to respect anyone who did not respect his wife, even if that person was his mother.
Veins were throbbing in Karen’s temple when she witnessed Kendrick leaving the scene along with both the old master and Niamh.
As for Yvonne, she was utterly jealous of Kendrick defending Niamh.
She was feeling dissatisfied as she thought to herself and muttered, “Are we going to just leave it as such, Aunty Karen? Niamh has turned Grandpa into this state and is still trying to pretend that she has lost her memories to seduce Kendrick with an innocent look. She must have influenced Kendrick, making him treat you so coldly!”
Karen was a person who was easily influenced. She spoke through her gritted teeth, “This b*tch!”
“We shouldn’t let Kendrick leave just like that, Aunty Karen. We shouldn’t let that woman continue sticking around him. She’ll definitely join forces with Felipe and land Kendrick in tragedy!” Yvonne kept adding fuel to fire. “Have you forgotten, Aunty Karen? It’s because of that woman that you can’t even buy a purse right now!”
“She’s such a b*tch. Does she think that I’m scared of her just because I’m lying down low?”
“Well, back when she exposed her identity, you did look like you’re terrified of her. That’s why Niamh became even more arrogant!”
Karen felt that her pride was shattered.
Exasperated, she reached out for her purse, spun around, and headed out.
“Don’t do anything rash, Aunty Karen. Wait for me.”
Yvonne caught up to Karen and put on a fake, worrying face. In reality, her face was revealing a devilish smirk.
She thought Karen would cause Niamh trouble. However, she ended up arriving at the hospital.
With Karen’s previous social network, she got to know about Niamh’s illness.
After getting to know about the details of her condition, she burst into laughter. “Haha, it looks like that b*tch really lost her memories. No wonder earlier she greeted me as ‘Mom’ so politely. It turns out she has reverted to her stupid state!”
Karen felt that her chance had arrived as she hurriedly went back to pack up. She checked out from the house and dragged her luggage to Kendrick and Niamh’s wedding villa.
Just when she got down from a cab, she noticed Kendrick starting his car and leaving the villa.
Niamh was cleaning Old Master Waldburg’s body meticulously and covered him with a blanket so he could hit the sack.
She heard the doorbell ringing just when she was about to speak a few words to the old master.
She opened the door only to find that both Karen and Yvonne were waiting at the doorway impatiently.
“Mom?” Niamh called out politely, “What brings you here?”
Karen rolled her eyes at Niamh. “This house belongs to my son. As his mother, I can come by whenever I want to! From today onward, Yvonne and I will stay here. Since you’re going to serve the old master, you might as well serve Yvonne and me.”
Knowing Kendrick had left the villa, Yvonne raised her brows and said, “Niamh, why are you standing here so absent-minded? Quickly take our luggage in and clean up two rooms for us. Go!”
Arrogantly, Yvonne entered. As she passed by Niamh, she intentionally knocked against Niamh’s shoulder forcefully.
Niamh shifted her gaze from the two figures to the two big bags of luggage that were standing at the doorway.
“Wow, this house is so huge and gorgeous!” Yvonne was impressed the moment she entered. She had the urge to make herself the owner of this house, thinking that a woman like Niamh was not a suitable match to Kendrick.
Karen had come to the villa a few times, hence her reaction was not as exaggerated as Yvonne’s. She sank into a sofa comfortably. Seeing Niamh dragging her luggage made her smile.
Ever since Niamh ‘reincarnated’, she had been enduring lots of suffering.
She planned to seize this opportunity when Niamh had lost all her memories and reverted to her foolish character to vent out all her frustration
“Niamh, go get the two rooms cleaned up right now. Also, prepare two brand new sets of daily utilities,” ordered Karen.
Niamh was deep in thought while staring at Karen and Yvonne. Then, she spun around and headed upstairs.
Pfft! Yvonne burst into laughter when she saw Niamh’s back. “Haha, this feels great, Aunty Karen. Can’t believe that b*tch will have such a day too!”
“Hmph! It’s all because she went against me earlier! Right now, I shall prove to her who’s boss!” Karen smirked. She thought of an idea when she saw the dustbin beside the coffee table.
After a moment, Niamh returned to the hall with a smile. “I’ve cleaned up the guest rooms.”
Karen flipped a blind eye over her. “So, you’ve cleaned the guest rooms. I guess it’s time for you to clean the hall now,” said Karen as she suddenly raised her leg and kicked the dustbin before her.
The garbage containing the skin of fruits splattered all over the gray floor mat.
“Why are you zoning out, Niamh? Hurry and clean it up,” said Yvonne, reaching out for the melon before throwing it on the floor.
“Clean up once I order you to do it. Are you dissatisfied with it? Do you not want to be my daughter-in- law? Do it now if you want to!” Karen barked. She then picked up the orange skin and threw it beside Niamh’s leg.
Niamh kept silent, spun around, and went to get a broom.
At that moment, the main door flung open and Kendrick showed up. He witnessed both Karen and Yvonne eating and throwing rubbish on the floor while Niamh had her head lowered as she cleaned the place with a broom.
A surge of rage coursed within him. “What the hell are you guys doing?!”
Kendrick’s sudden appearance made Karen and Yvonne feel a jolt course through them.
They both got choked by the flesh of the fruits and started coughing vigorously till their faces went scarlet.
Niamh lifted her eyes and saw Kendrick’s dark expression. His sharp gaze was looking right at her.
However, the moment their eyes met, his expression changed and became much calmer.
“Nia.” He placed the daily supplies that he just bought at the supermarket down on the floor. Heartbroken, he took the broom away from her hand. “What are you doing, silly?”
“I’m cleaning up. Mom said that she’ll be staying here with Yvonne. I’ve already cleaned up the guest rooms.” Niamh explained with a smile.
Kendrick frowned, shifting his stony gaze to the two ladies.
“Get lost right this minute!” He chased them out without a single thought.
Karen put on a pitiful look when she saw Kendrick infuriated. “Kendrick, I’m your mom. Your dad went overseas again for the sake of minimizing the loss. How do you expect me to live alone?”
“Alone?” Kendrick was looking scornfully at Yvonne who dared not let out a breath. “Isn’t there another person here with you?”
Karen was speechless and knew where Kendrick was going. She glanced at Yvonne and sighed with a pitiful look. “Yvonne hasn’t graduated, and she has no friends or family in Glendale. Hence, the only choice she has is to tag along with me, but how can two jobless women be able to survive on their own?”
“You guys are incredible in a way,” Kendrick sneered as he sneaked a peek at the floor that was all messy.
“Kendrick, why don’t you let Yvonne and Mom stay here? Since there are rooms available too.” Niamh advised.
Kendrick did not intend to go against Niamh’s wish. He threw the broom in his hand to the two ladies.
“If you guys want to stay here, then you’d better get this place cleaned up. I’ll chase you guys out of here if you guys give any more trouble to Nia.”
“…”
“…”
Karen and Yvonne dared not argue back as they just stood there, witnessing Kendrick escorting Niamh upstairs.
Karen felt troubled when she scanned through the dirty carpet that was full of rubbish.
‘I didn’t expect to be hoist with my petard.’
“Hurry and get this place cleaned up!” Karen ordered Yvonne in a dissatisfactory tone.
“Me? I’m going to do the cleaning?” Yvonne’s eyes were gigantic as she pointed her finger to herself.
“Who else is going to clean it up? Me? If you want to stay here, you’d better clean this up now!”
“…”
