However, she did not care much as she could finally take Lillian out for fresh air.
Yet, unbeknownst to Niamh, Kendrick was watching her every move from a distance.
Niamh spent the entire day with Lillian. When they were about to go home, Niamh saw someone selling cotton candy by the side of the road, so she wanted to buy one to make the little girl happy.
She asked the driver and Lillian to wait for her in the car. She chose one, and when she was about to pay, she heard a car stopping behind her suddenly.
It happened so quickly. Despite Niamh doing everything to defend herself, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
She felt her heart skip a beat, and when she was about to turn around, she was stuffed into the backseat of the car.
Felipe watched as this happened from a distance. Then, he curled his lips into a smirk. “You came.”
He looked confident as he ordered the driver, “Follow them.”
After Niamh was tossed into the backseat, the car started quickly.
The man driving was wearing a face mask. However, how could Niamh not recognize the man’s eyes?
“Kendrick, when did you come to F Country? Why are you kidnapping me? What do you want?”
Kendrick looked at the rear-view mirror and saw Niamh’s unhappy face. He did not say anything.
After driving for about 20 minutes, Kendrick finally stopped the car.
There were a lot of villas on the outskirts of F Country. Then, Kendrick drove the car into one of the villas.
He removed the mask and opened the door for Niamh.
“Get out.”
Niamh got out of the car with an icy look. When she saw the man walking into the building without even turning back, she was even more puzzled.
“Kendrick, what are you playing at?”
The man stopped and spoke with a cold voice, “Come with me.”
Niamh hesitated for a while before following him.
After they entered the house, Niamh saw a man sitting on the sofa of the living room. The man did not look too good. There were thick layers of gauze on his right calf and a first aid kit on the coffee table.
Even though Niamh was not familiar with Ken, she had seen him a few times. She knew that Ken was Kendrick’s assistant.
Why was his assistant here and why was he injured?
Kendrick turned around and saw Niamh looking at Ken. There was dissatisfaction in her eyes. “Come up.”
He reminded her, but he did not call out her name.
Niamh did not want to quibble with him and followed him into a room on the second floor.
“Kendrick, can you tell me what’s going on now? What do you want?” she asked calmly.
The man closed the door and approached Niamh with a domineering aura around him. “Can I do anything I want?”
“…” Niamh felt that this man was going to make fun of her again. She turned her face around and walked to the french window. “Kendrick, you said we’ve already cut all ties between us. You already have a person you love now. Why are you still pestering me?”
“Because I want to. I want to know why a woman who loved me so much that she was willing to risk her life for me doesn’t want to even look at me now.”
“…”
Niamh’s heart started beating erratically. She could hear the dissatisfaction and anger in Kendrick’s voice.
She had an urge to tell Kendrick the truth. She wanted to tell him that their daughter was still alive and that she only had him in her heart, but then, she remembered Lillian who had been admitted into the intensive care unit not long ago.
As long as Lillian was still under Felipe’s control, she could only continue to endure this.
She swallowed back the grievances that she wanted to tell him about but could not. Then, she said calmly, “Kendrick, don’t think you’re all that. The man I love right now is Felipe. You’re just a thing in the past for me while Felipe is the man I’m going to spend the rest of my life with.”
“Spend the rest of your life with? Heh.” Kendrick scoffed and looked at Niamh’s back. Then, he threw his phone on the bed. “Look at the true face of the man you’re going to spend the rest of your life with. Do you think he’s able to give you a future you want?”
Niamh turned around and looked at the phone Kendrick had tossed to the bed.
“Take it and look closely,” Kendrick said coldly.
Niamh wanted to know what Kendrick was playing at. She picked up the phone, and there was a video after the screen lit up.
She pressed on the play button and saw Felipe in the video.
It was the video Ken had taken outside the warehouse.
After she watched the video, Niamh was aghast.
This was why Felipe had such a huge influence and amassed such wealth in F Country. He had been doing illegal trades all this while.
He had crossed the line. If someone reported him with enough evidence, the foundation he built would crumble and be destroyed.
He would also face jail time while his reputation would be ruined.
Kendrick looked at the changes in Niamh’s expression and started to feel worried for her. “Do you still think you’ll have a future with him after you see this video?”
Niamh put the phone down and said in dissatisfaction, “Why did you show me this? Do you think I’ll leave him because of this?”
Kendrick clearly did not expect Niamh to react like that. He strode toward her and held her wrist. “Eveline Montgomery, do you know what you’re talking about?”
“Of course, I do. The person who doesn’t know anything is you.”
“What are you saying?”
Niamh pushed his hand away. “I’ll support Felipe no matter what he does. Don’t even think for a second that I’ll leave him because of this and run back to you.”
Kendrick felt the fire in his chest burning brightly once again after he heard that.
He could not stand this anymore. He could not accept how much Niamh was defending Felipe.
He grabbed Niamh’s shoulders and pushed her to the wall. His dominant eyes stared right at her icy face.
“Do you really love him that much? Do you love him so much that you’ve forgotten the fact that he killed our daughter?”
“Yes.”
Niamh gave him a one-word reply without hesitation.
Kendrick felt an ache in his heart as he tightened his grip.
Niamh frowned in pain. “Let me go.”
“I won’t allow you to continue sticking with that man.” His tone was cold, but it sounded abnormally overbearing. “I won’t let you give birth to his child and I won’t let you go back to him!”
“…” Niamh’s heart skipped a beat. “Kendrick, what are you trying to do?” Niamh asked frantically, but Kendrick did not give her an answer before turning around and leaving.
“Kendrick!”
She chased up to him and grabbed his sleeve. “Send me back to where you kidnapped me. If Felipe finds out about this, he will never forgive you! You have to remember that we’re in F Country. You can’t even begin to imagine the power he has here.”
Niamh wanted to steer Kendrick away with her last sentence as she was worried that he would get into trouble. However, to Kendrick, it sounded like a provocation. It also sounded like Niamh’s recognition for Felipe.
How would he allow Niamh to look up to Felipe and look down on him?
He let go of Niamh’s grip on him and pushed her back to the room before locking the door.
“Kendrick, Kendrick! Let me out!”
Kendrick stood at the door and listened to Niamh slamming the door. Then, he turned around without hesitating.
Niamh was extremely anxious right now. Even though she had her phone with her, she could not call for help.
If she told Felipe about her situation now, she was worried that something might happen to Kendrick. However, at this moment, Felipe called her.
After hesitating, Niamh decided to turn off her phone.
Felipe knew where Niamh was. He knew Kendrick would go look for Niamh, so that was why he agreed to let Niamh take Lillian out today.
He had asked someone to follow Niamh to protect them, but at the same time, it was also to prevent Kendrick from seeing Lillian.
Now, the situation was going exactly as he had planned.
Felipe looked at the villa with approving eyes. Then, he picked up his sniper rifle and pointed the red light at the person in the house. He narrowed his eyes as his lips curled into a smirk.
“Goodbye, my nephew.”
