Hearing this, Ryan seemed to be in a daze. He never thought that Niamh would confess this to him.
He smiled and said, “Actually, I knew it a long time ago.”
“You knew?” Niamh widened her beautiful eyes in confusion.
Ryan picked up the phone and opened an app. “The study is equipped with monitoring and anti-theft measures, so I’ll know about it whenever you open the door.”
“Oh…” Niamh looked at the phone, and a glimmer in her beautiful eyes flashed.
“I know you’ve done so much for Kendrick, and you can’t forget about him so quickly. I can completely understand.”
Ryan returned to the computer and took a look. “I received a message in the morning from the higher- ups. Since Kendrick escaped from prison last night and killed another police officer, it has turned into something extremely serious. He’ll go to court tomorrow.”
Niamh quickly thought of the police officer who was lying in a pool of blood on the grass last night.
“So, if you want to see him and give him the reagent, today is the last chance because you might not even get to see him after this.”
Ryan reminded her, seemingly doing it out of good intentions. However, at the same time, it also brought him the joy of almost approaching victory.
He had already received internal information that Kendrick would definitely be sentenced to death.
He could taste the victory.
It was not necessary to give these bottles of reagent to Niamh as a favor.
Niamh immediately went to the place where Kendrick was imprisoned.
Since Kendrick was already a felon, she could not visit him. However, Ryan pulled some strings in advance and allowed Niamh in.
Kendrick was in solitary confinement. When Niamh opened the door, she saw Kendrick sitting next to the bed looking very sick and tired.
Kendrick raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard some movements. Then, he looked at Niamh who came in through the door.
However, Kendrick looked away after glancing at Niamh. “Why are you still here? Are you here to pour salt on my wounds?”
His hoarse voice slipped weakly into Niamh’s ears.
Niamh walked in front of him and said nothing. Then, she opened the kit of reagents and took out one of them.
This kit of reagents had a total of seven courses of treatment.
Since Kendrick had poison in his body, he would not be healed immediately. As such, he would need a long process of treatment and rehabilitation.
Niamh did not speak to Kendrick. She prepared the syringe and stretched out her hand to lift Kendrick’s arm.
“Eveline, what are you doing?” Kendrick looked puzzled.
“We were husband and wife. I don’t want you to die with this horrible poison inside of you.” Niamh looked straight at the man and injected the reagent into Kendrick’s arm without hesitation.
She looked at the man who was not struggling. The corners of her eyes were turning red. “You’re going to court tomorrow and I hope that this isn’t the last time we’re meeting.”
Kendrick seemed lost when he heard what Niamh said.
Niamh’s sad face was reflected in his pupils. Before he could say anything, she left.
As soon as Niamh walked out the door, she saw Ryan waiting for her.
She walked up to him, said thank you, and got in the car.
Ryan knew that Niamh was feeling depressed now, so he did not bother Niamh.
After he sent Niamh home, he thoughtfully made a cup of coffee for her. “Don’t think too much about it. I’ll accompany you to the hearing tomorrow.”
Niamh took the coffee and nodded gently.
“I’m going to the study to get something. Then, I’ll be going out,” Ryan said and went upstairs.
The moment he went upstairs, the phone on the coffee table rang.
Niamh glanced at the phone and saw that there was no caller ID on the screen. She answered the phone without thinking too much.
A man with a foreign accent started speaking from the other end. “Tomorrow afternoon, two o’clock. My people will come to pick up the goods at the abandoned dock in Glendale.”
After she heard that, Niamh answered calmly, “Okay, I’ll tell him.”
The person on the other end was stunned. “Who are you?”
“I’m the woman whose name is currently on his marriage certificate.”
Niamh’s answer reassured the other party. “Remember to tell him. Don’t get it wrong.”
“I will,” Niamh promised.
It did not take long before Ryan came downstairs. He picked up the phone on the coffee table, greeted Niamh, and went out.
While looking at Ryan’s back, Niamh’s lips curled into an intrigued arc.
The next day.
Niamh woke up early in the morning. She intentionally put on some light makeup. Then, she put on a simple but decent outfit before getting in Ryan’s car and arriving at the gates of First Glendale Court.
A lot of journalists came to the door and when they saw Niamh and Ryan together. They all ran over to interview them.
Niamh walked beside Ryan with a cold face. She did not say anything before going straight to the door.
Someone murmured with dissatisfaction, “Look at Eveline Montgomery, she’s so disgusting! A while ago, she vowed that Mr. Waldburg is her husband, but when something happened to Mr. Waldburg, she immediately ran to Ryan Jones!”
“Mr. Waldburg is so naive. He must’ve been fooled by Eveline’s face. Otherwise, how could he be attracted to this kind of woman?”
“Stop talking. Let’s watch the live trial in a bit! It’s unexpected that such a well-known person in Glendale is now a murderer.”
Although Niamh did not hear these words, she could imagine what they were saying.
She and Ryan entered the courtroom together. They saw Karen and Winston who were already waiting there. Niamh and Karen looked at each other expressionlessly before Niamh walked to the side to sit down.
Karen was even angrier when she saw Niamh ignoring her.
“I guess it’s true that people will change. Look at her! The moment something happened to Kendrick, she ran to another man!”
“Forget it,” Winston told Karen, “Kendrick has wronged Eveline before. Even if she really wants to ignore Kendrick, we can’t say anything about it.”
There were not many people in the gallery, and Niamh could clearly hear the dialogue between Karen and Winston.
She looked indifferently at Ryan who had a smile on his lips. “Do you have any arrangements after the trial is over?”
Ryan looked into Niamh’s beautiful eyes. “If you’re in the mood for it, I want to accompany you to a good candlelight dinner.”
Niamh curled her lips and said with a meaningful smile, “A candlelight dinner is a good suggestion. I think I’ll be in a good mood tonight to have a candlelight dinner with a man who will spend the rest of my life with me.”
Ryan was taken aback when he heard those words. When he saw the charming smile on Niamh’s face, his heartbeat accelerated and he felt extremely happy.
When he was about to hold Niamh’s hand, it was time for the formal court session.
Niamh’s lips curled into a smile as she looked at the man who wandered into her vision.
‘Kendrick, the moment is finally here.’
Niamh’s pink lips curled slightly. The tall and handsome figure was reflected in her clear and beautiful pupils.
Kendrick was wearing a tailored suit, a black shirt, and a burgundy tie. He was standing in the defendant’s seat while looking cool and elegant.
Compared to how tired and sick he looked in the previous two days, he was now in a very good state and also in good spirits.
He had a graceful posture, and he exuded a kind of calm and relaxed charm.
He was not at all like a criminal awaiting sentence, but rather a domineering adjudicator who wanted to try others.
Ryan looked at Kendrick indifferently.
It did not matter how good Kendrick’s image was nor how strong his aura was now.
He could not escape from being accused of homicide now that they had conclusive evidence.
Ryan curled up the corners of his lips and smiled openly at Kendrick’s calm gaze.
He seemed to be showing off his victory.
After the verdict was announced, Kendrick’s reputation in Glendale would completely be destroyed and the status of the Waldburgs in Glendale would also decline.
This way, the Jones would gradually become the number one family in Glendale.
