“Mom, can you please take Pudding out? I have something to say to this guy.” Niamh controlled her emotions and handed Pudding to Karen.
Even though Karen had a lot of questions, she obliged and took Pudding out.
There were only the two of them in the room right now, and the silence was deafening.
Niamh walked to the side of the bed and took out some documents from under her pillow to hand them to Kendrick.
“Sign this. I’m divorcing you.”
Kendrick looked at the papers Niamh was handing him and felt as if his heart was being sliced by a million knives.
He sobbed soundlessly and did not take the papers. On the contrary, he knelt in front of her again.
Looking at her haggard face, he felt so much pain in his heart that he could not breathe. “Nia…”
“Don’t call me Nia anymore. I’m not worthy of it.”
Niamh rejected coldly. She was forcing out a smile, but tears streamed uncontrollably from her eyes.
“During the days that you lost your memories, I kept telling myself that you only lost your memories temporarily and you’ll remember soon. And when you do, you’ll come back to me.
“I was wrong. Not only did you lose your memories, you even lost your humanity.
“You set fire to my house and killed my parents just to make Lana happy! You also burned my heart that loved you into ashes!
“Kendrick, I won’t forgive you no matter how many times you say you’re sorry.”
She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. This would be the last time she called his name.
“Kendrick, you’re the man I love the most in my life and also the only man I’m obsessed with and dedicated to. However, it’s time to let this go. From now on, Eveline Montgomery and Kendrick Waldburg will not be husband and wife anymore. We’re breaking all ties between us.”
Niamh threw the papers at Kendrick and walked past him to go out of the room.
Kendrick looked at the scattered papers on the floor as tears streamed down his face.
He came to Montgomery Manor absent-mindedly.
Looking at the ruins in front of him, he could not imagine himself setting fire to this place.
He closed his eyes and recalled everything he did to Niamh when he lost his memories. He could not even forgive himself, let alone ask her to forgive him.
That day when Niamh had to go into early labor because of Lana, he did not do anything to help her when she suffered in front of him.
She worked so hard to carry his child for him but he never looked at the child once.
“Lana,” Kendrick uttered that woman’s name from his mouth coldly.
His eyes became sharp as he turned around.
In the villa.
Lana and Naomi were drinking at this moment.
“Hmph, I don’t know what’s wrong with my brother. Why is he helping Eveline?”
“Does Yorick have a crush on Eveline?” Naomi guessed.
“Impossible. My brother will never have a crush on her.” Lana denied it and downed her beer angrily.
“I don’t even know what my brother is worried about. Who dares to go against us Stygian Johnsons when we’re in F Country? Eveline is nothing!”
Naomi nodded and looked at the screen of her phone. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. “Lana! Someone told me that Eveline is blind!”
“What?” Lana slammed her mug on the table right after she lifted it. “Eveline’s blind? Really?”
“Really!” Naomi laughed out joyously.
Lana was so happy that she could not stop smiling. When she was about to say something, she saw Kendrick walking in, so she immediately walked over to him. “Hans, let me tell you some good news. Niamh is blind!”
When Kendrick heard what Lana told him in excitement, his eyes became colder.
Good news?
Niamh was blind, and to Lana, it was good news.
He recalled how Lana filled him up with fake memories during the three months he lost his memories, his eyes turning icy.
Lana did not notice Kendrick’s change in behavior. Instead, she laughed happily and said, “Hmph, I didn’t even do anything and she’s blind. Haha! I think I have to give her a proper visit this time.”
Kendrick glanced at her. “What do you want to do with her?”
Lana heard that and started pondering. Then, she lit up a cigarette. “Um…”
“Lana, your chance is here.” Naomi looked at the message excitedly and reported, “The 52nd anniversary of Waldburg Corporation is coming soon and Eveline will definitely show up.”
Lana narrowed her eyes and started plotting.
After a while, she licked her red lips while smirking slyly. “What a good opportunity.”
She smirked and walked in front of Kendrick. Then, she simpered, “Hans, it’s up to you now whether Eveline will get a complete emotional meltdown.”
Kendrick hid the murderous aura and rage in his eyes, asking flatly, “What do you have in mind?”
“Very simple.” Lana took a drag of her cigarette. “When the time comes, you’ll appear at the dinner party as Kendrick Waldburg. Then, you’ll announce that you’re going to divorce the fickle homewrecker Eveline Montgomery for seducing Ryan Jones. To end it, tell everyone that I, Lana Johnson, am the only woman in your heart.”
Naomi started clapping after Lana finished saying that.
“Lana, we’ll do that! I want to see that blind bat humiliate herself in public. I wonder if she’ll get so mad that she’ll die on the spot?”
“Heh, I won’t let her die so easily. She slapped me so many times. I want her to wish that she’s dead!” Lana smirked maliciously. “When that happens, I want her to lose all of her reputation and image in front of everyone. Even netizens all around the world will witness her downfall. I will humiliate her severely! I want to wipe that smug grin off her face and let her know that the only result of going against me is death!”
Kendrick stood at one side where he listened to Lana and Naomi’s plan. Even though he looked unperturbed, the fire in his eyes had been burning brightly this entire time. Yet, his heart was bleeding for Niamh silently.
‘Nia.
‘I did so many things to disappoint you during the three months of me not being in the right headspace.
‘From now on, I won’t do it again.
‘I won’t let anyone bully you anymore.
‘Never.’
…
Old Master Waldburg and Karen decided to not host any events for Waldburg Corporation’s 52nd anniversary as they were worried about her health and mental state.
Too many things had happened recently and it caused a lot of harm to Niamh.
Plus, she still needed to take care of a newborn son. She did not have that much time to do so many things.
However, Niamh insisted on hosting an event.
She wanted to use this opportunity to announce something.
The day of the anniversary arrived quickly. A lot of elites from different industries, tycoons, and even people from the upper-class were all gathered here.
Niamh had also invited Ryan.
Ryan was wearing a deep blue tuxedo, looking like a nobleman with the refined pleasure of poetic minds. The moment he stepped into the hall, a lot of gorgeous socialites started greeting him.
Ryan smiled back at all of them politely, but his eyes were on Niamh the entire time.
He had heard about Niamh’s vision loss and wanted to check up on her, but he did not have a valid reason to.
When Ryan was about to go backstage to look for Niamh, Lana and Naomi appeared.
Lana had spent money to buy an invitation for the event. She smirked cockily as she strutted into the hall.
Everyone was looking over at her, but their focus was not on her. Instead, their eyes were on Kendrick who was behind her.
“It’s really Mr. Waldburg.”
“No way! Three months ago, didn’t he… What’s going on?”
“Yeah, how strange. I even went to offer my condolences at Waldburg Manor. They confirmed that he was indeed dead.”
“I went as well. When I was there, Karen even screamed at Eveline saying she was a bringer of bad luck. She also said that Eveline was the one who killed her son.”
“What’s going on?”
