Niamh went back to the house and pushed the old master into the garden.
The sun in May was warm and comfortable. The old master closed his eyes and enjoyed the sun on his skin.
“Grandpa, enjoy your sunbath. I’ll bring you back to your room so you can rest later.”
The old master opened his murky eyes when he heard that. He looked at Niamh’s smiling face and his eyes were filled with love and peace.
Niamh turned around and walked into the house. When she was about to clean the room, she saw Yvonne and Karen coming downstairs.
Karen could not wait to cause trouble after she was certain that Kendrick was not around. She ordered Niamh with a horrible attitude, “Prepare our breakfast now. We want full English breakfasts. I want my eggs still runny and Yvonne doesn’t drink cow’s milk. She’ll only drink goat’s milk, so hurry up and prepare them now.”
Niamh nodded lightly and walked into the kitchen.
Karen and Yvonne looked at each other before smirking evilly.
“Aunty Karen, look at her. She’s so submissive. If it’s not for Kendrick protecting her, she’ll just be a piece of trash!”
“Hmph, if it’s not for Kendrick’s sake, I wouldn’t even let her into this house!” Karen scoffed arrogantly. “Just watch. Something interesting is going to happen.”
Karen said and walked into the kitchen. When she saw Niamh busy with the preparations, she urged impatiently. “Hurry up. Do you want me to die from hunger? Is this how you are as a daughter-in-law? You’re so slow. I wonder why Kendrick would want to marry a piece of trash like you!”
“It’s all because someone is such a wh*re and used all kinds of heinous methods to climb into Kendrick’s bed. If not, with her qualities, even the beggars on the street wouldn’t want her,” Yvonne chimed in sarcastically.
Yet, Niamh acted like she did not hear them. She just went on with her business.
After about ten minutes, she finished making breakfast according to Karen’s wishes.
Karen remembered how Niamh had slapped her the last time. This time, after she sat down, she started causing trouble again.
She used her fork and knife to chop up the eggs in pieces. “What kind of eggs is this? How did you make this? I said I want runny eggs, didn’t you hear me? Also, why is this waffle burnt? Don’t you know that I don’t eat burnt food? It’ll cause cancer! Do you want to kill me?”
Niamh smiled and explained patiently. “Mom, this egg is runny and the thing on the waffle is blueberry jam. It’s not burnt. I made everything according to your wishes.”
“Who are you calling ‘Mom’? Who’s your mom? Do you think a cheap wh*re like you are qualified to be my daughter-in-law?” Karen threw the knife and fork on the table. The cutleries made a loud sound as they hit the surface.
Yvonne started making trouble as well when she saw that. “Say, are you deaf? Aunty Karen told you I only drink goat’s milk and not cow’s milk! Why did you still give me cow’s milk? Don’t you know I’m allergic to cow’s milk? Do you want me to have an allergic reaction? You’re so heinous!”
Niamh frowned. “This is goat’s milk.”
“If Yvonne said it’s cow’s milk, then it’s cow’s milk!” Karen reached out her hand and picked up the glass. Suddenly, she threw it at Niamh’s feet.
Crash! The glass shattered into pieces after an ear-piercing sound. The white liquid spilled everywhere.
Niamh lowered her gaze as she dispiritedly looked at the shards of glass at her feet.
Karen crossed her arms across her chest arrogantly when she saw that Niamh was shocked by her sudden outburst. “Okay, since you said it’s goat’s milk, then prove to me by licking it clean.”
“Oh, Aunt Karen, look at her. Do you think she’ll tell Kendrick that we bullied her later?”
“Hmph, what a piece of trash. Just tell him! Does she think I’m scared of her?” Karen was getting more and more malicious.
Yvonne smiled even wider. She stood up and looked at Niamh in a mocking manner. “Didn’t you hear my aunt? Niamh, didn’t you say that it’s goat milk? Hurry up and lick it clean to prove it to me and my aunt.”
After Yvonne said that, Niamh lifted her alluring eyes and smiled. “What did you say?”
Yvonne pointed at the milk on the floor with an even more arrogant look on her face. “I asked you to lick the milk on the floor clean!”
Niamh frowned curiously after she heard that. Then, she displayed a thought-provoking smile on her face. “Lick it clean? How? Like this?”
When Karen and Yvonne heard that, they thought Niamh was going to lick the floor. However, when they wanted to get closer to take a look, Niamh stuck out her leg in front of Yvonne.
Yvonne was not paying attention, so she tripped and fell.
She started screaming when she saw the glass shards on the floor. “Ah!”
Despite doing her best to dodge the shards, they still stabbed into her palms. Plus, she almost landed face-first into the shards. Her mouth was full of blood now.
Niamh towered over Yvonne and glanced down at her. When she saw Yvonne struggling to get up, Niamh stood in front of her and pressured her with her domineering aura.
“How’s it? Did you manage to taste it? Is it goat’s milk or cow’s milk?”
“…” Yvonne was shocked when she heard that.
Karen was horrified by what she saw. She only came back to her senses after a long while. “Yvonne!”
She wanted to go help Yvonne, but Niamh was in her way. She roared in anger. “You piece of trash, get lost!”
“Piece of trash?” Niamh looked at her coldly.
Karen was taken aback. Suddenly, she saw a sharp and piercing glint in Niamh’s eyes. The glint was the same as when Niamh exposed her identity. “Niamh, y-you…”
“Why? Are you trying to threaten me when Kendrick’s not here? Do you think I’m that old Niamh who would allow you to do anything to her?”
What?
Karen widened her eyes in shock. Then, she looked at Niamh’s face in dumbfoundedness. Suddenly, she felt nervous.
Niamh looked at her coldly as she picked up her knife and fork. Then, she pushed Karen’s shredded eggs together before pushing the plate in front of her.
“It’s a heinous thing to waste food, my darling mother-in-law. You have to finish this.”
“…” Karen was shocked. She was unconvinced, however, that she was defeated. Her face looked grim, but she did not dare to be too arrogant.
Niamh looked at Karen’s face in amusement. Karen was fuming, but she did not dare to say anything. Then, Niamh turned her face to look at Yvonne who was still on the floor. “Sweetheart, I’m asking you again, is that goat’s milk or cow’s milk on the floor?”
Yvonne widened her eyes in terror. She did not know why the weak and vulnerable Niamh suddenly became so overbearing and domineering.
“I’m asking you, so answer me. Is that goat’s milk or cow’s milk?” Niamh asked. Her overpowering aura caused Yvonne to shiver in fear.
She nodded her head quickly with her face that was painted with horror. “Y-Yes, i-it’s g-goat’s milk!”
Niamh frowned in curiosity. “Oh? Really? Did you have a proper taste?”
“I did! I did!”
Niamh nodded in satisfaction. “It’s good that you had a proper taste. Get up and eat breakfast then. Clear this up after you’re done, understand?”
Yvonne nodded in fear after she saw Niamh’s thought-provoking smile. “I got it! I’ll clean up!”
“Enjoy your breakfast.” Niamh smiled and looked at the aunt and niece duo. Their faces were turning green to white as Niamh turned around to leave.
Yvonne got up from the floor slowly. “Aunt Karen, she… What’s happening to Niamh? Her eyes were so scary!”
Karen looked at Niamh’s back with lingering fears. “Didn’t that woman lose her memories? Why did she react that way?”
“S-She must be pretending! I don’t think she really lost her memories. She must be scheming something, so that’s why she’s pretending to have lost her memories!” Yvonne guessed and concluded.
“That b*tch! Not only did she destroy Kendrick’s reputation, but she’s also working with Felipe to ruin Kendrick! What a devious woman!”
“Aunty Karen, we have to tell Kendrick that she’s just pretending!”
“Kendrick’s completely infatuated by that b*tch, so how would he believe us?” Karen was mad and troubled. “I think we have to come up with a plan.”
Yvonne pouted in dissatisfaction. “Before we do that, what should we do with this?” Yvonne pointed at the mess on the table.
“You should finish it, of course. Do you expect me to eat it?”
“…” Yvonne almost exploded from anger. However, she did not dare to go against Karen’s wishes. Most importantly, she did not dare to go against Niamh.
Niamh walked into the garden and spotted the old master who was sunbathing.
She looked at the old master’s peaceful face as her mind started to wander. When she was about to walk over, two men in black walked in from the front door.
The two men walked over rudely before heading straight to her. “Miss Eveline, sir is waiting for you to go back. He’s worried about you.”
Niamh looked at the two men nonchalantly. “Sir?”
“Mr. Felipe Waldburg.” The man explained with a smile. “Miss Eveline, you must be troubled by everything that’s happening recently. If you go back with us, sir will tell you everything. It’s dangerous for you to stay with Kendrick Waldburg.”
After the man said that, Niamh heard moaning sounds behind her.
She turned around and saw the old master with his eyes widened in the wheelchair. He was looking at her emotionally as if telling her not to follow those two.
However, Niamh agreed. “Okay, I’ll go with you.”
“Ugh ugh ugh!” The old master was even more emotional than before.
Niamh turned around and walked toward him. The sharp look in her eyes softened. “I’ll be back soon. Don’t worry, I’m not the old Niamh anymore.”
Despite her comforts, the old master was still making sounds of protest with all his might. He wanted to stop Niamh.
