Since the customers came from another city, they were meeting in a hotel.
When Niamh arrived as per the designated time, she met a young and unmarried couple.
However, Niamh did not think that this sweet couple could afford tens of millions and would have such a unique taste to find her to design those wedding rings.
Even though Niamh’s instincts told her something was not right, she still introduced her designs professionally and responsibly.
When the young man saw the draft of the wedding rings’ design, he frowned and started nitpicking.
Niamh, however, still smiled and listened to the man’s complaints because she believed that customers were always right.
Although Coco was not a jewelry designer, from the perspective of someone who appreciates design, she felt Niamh’s design was nearly perfect. This man, however, was still nitpicking.
“Ms. Montgomery, I heard you’re the most excellent jewelry designer in Glendale, but why are your designs so basic? My nephew in primary school could also come up with something like this.”
Niamh smiled calmly when she heard those words. “Mr. Woods, since your nephew could produce such a design, then you can ask your nephew to help you design the wedding rings. I won’t intervene.”
Niamh stood up gracefully after speaking.
Her secretary, Coco, put down the business card in her hand. “Please remit the design fee to our account within a week. Thank you.”
“What? We’ re not even interested in your stupid design and you’re charging us the design fees? Is this how Waldburg Corporation makes money? By using illegal means?” the man asked in dissatisfaction.
The woman on the side rolled her eyes arrogantly. “ Yeah, you can get such a large amount of money without doing anything. It’s no wonder that Waldburg Corporation is so rich. It turns out that this is how they get their money.”
When Coco heard this, she could not help but feel the injustice on Niamh’s behalf. “Although you are unsatisfied with the design draft, the designer has already put in time and energy. Further, the contract has already stated that even if you are unsatisfied with the design draft, you’d still have to pay the related design fees.”
“Coco, you don’t need to explain so much to them.” Niamh glanced back at the young couple. “It’s up to you whether you want to pay or not. You’ll be the ones feeling ashamed when you receive the lawyer’s letter.”
“…” Facing Niamh’s calm reaction, the young couple glanced at each other, and then their expressions suddenly changed.
“Ms. Montgomery, don’t leave. We are indeed wrong. Why don’t we sit down and talk about the design?”
The man said, then ordered the woman next to him, “Go and pour two glasses of drinks.”
The woman obediently followed suit and poured two glasses of lemonade over.
The man followed with a smile on his face. “Please, let’s have a sit first and slowly talk it over. In fact, this design is quite unique and beautiful. What I was trying to say was that I was hoping that the price to be cheaper…”
“You can discuss the price with us, but you didn’t need to use this method,” Coco grumbled and took the glass in front of her for a sip.
Niamh noticed that the man and woman seemed to be paying a lot of attention to Coco as she drank the water.
This behavior further made Niamh feel that something was odd.
She surreptitiously glanced at Coco. It seemed that nothing happened, but she vaguely felt that something was wrong.
“Coco, it seems that we left some documents in the car. Come, let’s go get it,” Niamh said as she stood up.
Seeing this, the man and woman also stood up and hurriedly stopped them. “It’s just some documents. Just ask your secretary to get it, Ms. Montgomery. Let’s discuss the details now.”
“It’s not too late to discuss the details after we have gotten the documents. I think you can wait for a few minutes.” Niamh was very determined to leave.
She was now convinced that this couple was very problematic.
However, before signing the contract, Kendrick had checked the background of the couple and found nothing suspicious.
Regardless, she did feel something was not right with them.
Niamh did not stay. She gave Coco a light push in the arm so that she would leave first.
Coco, unaware of any peculiarities, took the lead upon seeing Niamh’s intention to leave.
Seeing that Niamh was truly leaving, the two hurried to catch up and stop her.
“Eveline Montgomery! ” The man called her by her full name.
Without turning around, Niamh continued to walk to the door hurriedly, but Coco, who was by her side, suddenly lost all strength and leaned against Niamh.
“Ms. Montgomery, I feel dizzy.” Coco said, leaning against Niamh.
Niamh was now convinced that there was a wrong with the lemonade. She held Coco firmly and then reached out to open the door.
The most important thing now was to get out of here.
Niamh calmly opened the door. She thought she was going to breathe in the fresh air, but she had not expected that when the door opened, a tall black figure towered in front of her.
When Niamh saw the person in front of her, she finally understood.
It turned out this was a trap.
The man and woman were merely a cover.
As Niamh calmly looked at the man in front of her, the man and woman hurried past her and left the room quickly.
“I’m your target, so let my secretary leave,” Niamh calmly said.
Without even sparing a glance at Coco, Carter raised his hand expressionlessly and snapped his fingers lightly.
A second later, the bodyguard standing behind the wall walked out.
“Let your secretary take a nap here. She’ll naturally wake up when it’s time, and when she’s awake, she can leave on her own. No one will stop her.”
After Carter finished speaking, the bodyguard stepped forward and pulled Coco, who was leaning on Niamh, away and carried her into the room.
Glanced back, Niamh saw the bodyguard roughly dropped Coco onto the bed and then walked back.
“Now, it’s time for you to come with me. ” Carter fixed his eyes on Niamh’s face.
“Carter, you are really insidious, ” Niamh said in disdain.
Carter curled the corners of his lips indifferently. “ You can say that I’m devious, but insidious is too much.”
“You’re insidious.”
Niamh repeated in certainty.
“You deliberately returned to St. Piaf first so that Kendrick and I put down our guards, and then you quietly came back.
“You hired the man and woman just now to pretend to be an unmarried couple and approached me to design a wedding ring and custom perfume. But in reality, it was just to get me here.” Niamh said, listing out every part of Carter’s plan.
Carter looked at Niamh with a faint smile. “You got it all right. In fact, you’ve already noticed something and suspected that something was wrong with the drink, isn’t that right? That was still very smart of you, Eveline, but it’s too late.”
Niamh looked warily at Carter who had a sly smile on his face. She tried to use her cell phone to call Kendrick inconspicuously, but the bodyguard on the side suddenly came over and snatched Niamh’s cell phone away.
“Give that back!” Niamh reached out to grab it. However, Carter took a step toward her suddenly.
Carter was tall. Although Niamh was not short, there was still a height difference between them when she was standing in front of the man.
Carter’s figure oppressed her.
Niamh wanted to escape, but Carter suddenly grabbed her wrist and cornered Niamh between the wall and himself.
Niamh frowned. She raised her eyes and looked into Carter’s deep eyes.
“Now, Eveline, look into my eyes. What do you see?” Carter asked.
Niamh was dazed for two seconds, then she quickly avoided Carter’s sight.
“Carter, don’t even think about hypnotizing me anymore. I won’t be fooled again, and I won’t be at your mercy again! ”
As Niamh spoke, she raised her foot, attempting to kick the most vulnerable part of the man.
However, Carter seemed to have already seen through Niamh’s intentions early on. He countered Niamh and inhibited her movements.
“I don’t want you to suffer any physical pain, but if you want to continue resisting, I can only be rough with you.”
“Carter, you are so despicable.”
“I just want to let you have a taste of your own medicine, ” Carter said lightly. “My child became a pool of blood because of Kendrick. I have to make him pay the price.”
He paused momentarily, then resumed speaking.
“While Kendrick loves those three children as well, but in the end, they don’t compare to you.”
Upon hearing Carter’s words, Niamh instantly understood what Shirley had not said at the time.
Shirley said, “Eveline, listen to me, you and your family will be in danger, especially…”
You.
