Ada was watching this from afar, and of course, she would not go over to stop them.
After Ada saw Naomi pushing Niamh into the river with her own two eyes, a satisfied smirk appeared on her lips.
Even though it would be a little over the line to say that she had murdered someone, she did use someone’s hands to get rid of someone she hated.
Naomi watched the surface of the river as it slowly became calm again. When she turned around to walk back, Ada was nowhere to be seen.
Niamh was dead, and Naomi’s heart was at ease.
She thought that she had avenged Ryan, and from now on, she would become the true Eveline Montgomery because she was the only person with this face now.
Naomi went back to Waldburg Manor in the rain. After making sure Kendrick was not around, she strutted brazenly into the bedroom as Eveline Montgomery.
She took a shower and changed into Niamh’s clothes. Then, she put on a smile that only belonged to Niamh in front of the mirror. She walked out of the room and leisurely had tea as well as some snacks in the living room.
Karen had just picked Jackson and Lillian up from school. When she saw Naomi eating snacks in the living room, she thought it was Niamh at first glance.
However, when she was about to say something, she recalled what Kendrick had said two days ago and what had happened that night.
She did not go into the living room. Instead, she stood in the foyer to whisper something to Jackson and Lillian.
After the little kids heard that, they nodded. They turned around and walked out of the house.
Karen looked at Naomi who was having tea on the living room sofa. After she changed her shoes, she walked over.
“Eveline, when did you come back? Kendrick said you’d be going on a business trip these few days.”
Naomi lifted her head when she heard that. Immediately, she displayed a gentle and magnanimous smile.
“Mom, I just came back after taking care of my business.” Naomi did not even think twice before lying.
Karen smiled and nodded. Her eyes were sizing Naomi up before she went over to hold Naomi’s hand. “Eveline, I asked someone to buy me a set of jewelry yesterday. However, after I got it, I keep having this feeling that the jewelry is fake. Eveline, you’re a professional. Come and take a look for me.”
“…”
Naomi did not know how to appraise jewelry, but she could not decline now. As such, she smiled and agreed after nodding.
“Come, it’s in my room.” Karen grabbed Naomi’s hand to go to the stairs.
Even though Naomi was reluctant, she could only follow suit.
After they went into the room, Karen pointed at the jewelry box on the vanity table. “Eveline, it’s in the box. Take a look for me.”
“Okay,” Naomi replied and walked to the vanity table.
She opened the jewelry box on the table and spotted a lot of expensive jewelry inside. Her eyes lit up, and at the same time, she felt envious.
They were the number one wealthy family in Glendale, after all. Many ordinary people would not be able to afford the jewelry here even after making money their whole lives and after the jewelry was at a discounted price.
However, from now on, she would be the one and only Eveline Montgomery. As such, she would be able to possess all this wealth.
Naomi was feeling thrilled in secret. She finally came back to her senses and asked, “Mom, which one is it?”
She turned around and saw that there was no one else in the room. She was the only one in the room while Karen was nowhere to be seen.
“Mom?”
Naomi sensed something was amiss, so she walked to the door.
She reached out to open the door but realized the door was locked from the outside.
Naomi’s expression changed, and she turned the doorknob with all her might. At the same time, she slammed on the door heavily. “Mom, where are you? Is this door broken?”
“Who’s your mother, you imposter?!”
When Naomi heard this, her hand that was holding the doorknob froze.
She widened her eyes and stared at the closed door in disbelief.
Karen had deliberately brought her to this room?
Karen had seen through her?
Impossible!
Karen was so stupid! She had kept defending her back then! How would she be so smart to have seen through her this time?
“Mom, what are you talking about? I’m Eveline.” Naomi purposely softened her tone to try to play the character of Eveline.
However, Karen’s cold chuckle instantly came from the other side of the door. “Stop pretending. Do you think I’ll still be so stupid and can’t tell that you’re an imposter?”
“…”
Naomi’s face fell instantly. She did not expect that they had seen through her.
She lifted her foot and kicked the door heavily in anger. “Open the door! If not, I’ll smash everything in your room!”
After Karen heard this, she was completely sure that this was not Eveline!
Karen was furious when she thought about how this imposter had stayed in their house for so long and how she had even defended Naomi again and again.
However, she held this all in for now.
She allowed Naomi to kick and scream behind the door without doing anything.
Naomi saw that Karen had no intention to open the door, so she started to panic.
She thought she would become the real Eveline after killing Niamh and hold the titles of the young madam of the Waldburg family as well as the number one socialite in Glendale. However, before she could enjoy her new status, Karen had already seen through her.
Was her face collapsing? If not, how could Karen have seen through her at first glance?
Naomi could not understand, and she did not want to look into this. Now, the only thing she wanted to do was run away.
She knew she would be in even bigger trouble if Kendrick came back.
Karen was indeed waiting for Kendrick to come back. After more than ten minutes, Kendrick came hurriedly.
For some reason, he had started to feel anxious this morning.
He had called Niamh’s number, but no one answered.
A strange and bad feeling told him that his Nia might be in some sort of trouble.
When Karen saw Kendrick, she pointed to the bedroom. “I didn’t think that the imposter would still come back. She’s in my room now.”
Kendrick reached out to take the key of the room before opening it quickly.
After he opened the door, he saw that the room was a mess like it had just been robbed.
Karen could not believe what Naomi had done to her room, but now, she did not have the mood to complain about this.
She looked around and did not see Naomi, so she felt curious. “Where did she go? I was at the door this whole time and she didn’t come out. Did she jump down from the balcony?”
Kendrick stepped through the door calmly when suddenly, he heard some rustling behind him. He turned around nimbly and saw that Naomi was trying to escape through the door using this opportunity after she saw them coming in.
Karen yelled hurriedly at the servants downstairs after she saw this, “Stop that woman!”
The servants were cleaning the living room, and when they saw Naomi running hurriedly downstairs, they only thought that she was their young madam, Eveline.
Did Karen want them to stop their young madam?
The servants were confused.
Meanwhile, Naomi was happy with their reactions. She ran quickly toward the foyer as if the bottom of her feet were covered in oil. She did not care how heavy the rain was as she ran straight into the rain and toward the front gates.
However, before she could run far, she felt something hitting against her ankle. She squatted down reflexively in pain before falling on the wet floor.
When she was about to get up to continue running, Kendrick’s imposing figure was already standing and towering in front of her.
Naomi’s heart skipped a beat in fear. When her eyes met Kendrick’s bottomless and deep ones, she was extremely flustered.
“Good job, Jack.” Karen’s praises for Jackson sounded from afar.
Naomi looked at the toy boomerang by her foot and realized that Jackson was the one who threw this thing at her ankle, causing her to fall.
She gritted her teeth in anger. When she turned around to get up, Kendrick suddenly bent down and grabbed her collar.
Naomi’s breathing hitched. From Kendrick’s cold gaze, she could feel a deep fear.
On the other hand, when Kendrick looked at the face that was copied directly from Niamh, he felt an ounce of reluctance along with resentment.
