‘Wait!”
The woman suddenly stopped Coco who was about to leave. The woman then lifted her pejorative gaze to peer at Niamh.
“Why are you asking this woman to leave? Eveline, are you afraid to talk to me justly and honorably?” The woman chuckled softly, but her eyes looked abnormally arrogant.
When Coco saw this, she knew this woman came here to cause trouble.
However, Niamh remained smiling calmly.
“Are you here to talk to me or are you here to chat with my secretary? We’re all adults, and I know what you’re thinking, so don’t waste time. Coco, you should go on with your business. No need to make the coffee.”
“…” The woman’s face froze when she heard that.
Coco, who immediately understood what Niamh meant, nodded, turned around, and left.
Even though she was curious why this woman was here, she did not have the habit of snooping. She thus closed the door and left.
Inside the reception room.
Elegantly, Niamh turned around, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
She had a domineering yet elegant aura, completely overpowering the woman in front of her.
Unrelenting, the woman looked at Niamh. On the other hand, Niamh was looking at this woman calmly.
Compared to the way she dressed in Gray Manor, the woman was now dressed very lady-like. She looked very sweet and obedient on the surface.
Niamh had not looked at her closely before, and now, she paid more attention.
At the end of the day, she was a maid that the Grays had chosen based on her outstanding looks and body shape.
However, Niamh had seen her temper before.
Even when the maid had thought Niamh was Carter’s fiancée, the maid had still behaved quite arrogantly toward Niamh because she thought Niamh had been flirting with Kendrick.
The maid, aware that Niamh was observing her, shifted her body uncomfortably. “Eveline, I’m here to look for Mr. Waldburg. Ask him to come out to see me.”
Niamh smiled softly. “ I’m sorry, my husband is at home with the children, so he doesn’t have time to meet any irrelevant people. You can tell me anything you want to say to him.”
The woman clenched her fists when she heard this. Before she came to Glendale, she asked around and she knew that Niamh was truly Kendrick’s wife and that they already had three children.
Niamh was also the daughter of a rich family in Glendale, and she had a very impressive background. Furthermore, Niamh was a very exceptional perfumer and jewelry designer.
As a maid, this was something that she could not strive for.
However, how would she reconcile this?
“If you don’t have anything to say to me, then let me ask you.”
Niamh spoke and broke the silence.
The maid looked at Niamh in astonishment. She did not know what Niamh wanted to ask her.
“What’s your name?”
“…” The maid was stunned when she heard that. She then answered proudly, “My name is Hannah Bolton.”
“You have a nice name, ” Niamh praised.
The maid scoffed in contempt. “Eveline, you don’t have to flatter me. Because I’m here to ask Mr. Waldburg to take responsibility for me. So, I don’t care who you are and how much you sweet talk me. I won’t give up just like that.”
Hannah’s stance was firm, and she was still as arrogant as ever.
While Niamh pressed her lips together, she still had a smile on her face. She was not mad; she did not want to fight. She just parted her lips to remind Hannah instead.
“Miss Hannah Bolton, I know that you have a lot of dissatisfaction in your heart, and I hope that you can understand that what happened between you and my husband was an accident that was orchestrated deliberately. You and my husband are both victims. You two were framed by Carter.”
The moment Niamh finished speaking, Hannah stood up abruptly.
“What do you mean by that? Mr. Carter was trying to get me together with Mr. Waldburg out of good intentions!”
Upon looking at the maid at this moment, Niamh was already trying her best to keep her emotions under control. However, when she heard what the maid said, she subconsciously furrowed her brows.
“Carter tried to set you up with my husband?” Niamh asked curiously. “ So, you’re saying that you knew something would happen between you and my husband?”
When Hannah saw Niamh looking shocked, she felt much relieved for some reason.
She crossed her arms and laughed proudly. “I didn’t know how Mr. Carter would try to get us together. When I found out, I didn’t mind. I’m willing to sacrifice everything for someone I like, including my body! ”
The maid’s words shocked Niamh. She could not understand what Hannah was saying. Was this something a self-respecting woman would say?
Obviously not.
Hannah was not an ordinary person.
Niamh slowly stood up; the polite smile could no longer be seen on her beautiful, petite face.
“So, Miss Bolton, what do you want?”
“I want Kendrick Waldburg to be responsible for me!” Hannah insisted. She clearly came prepared.
“Responsible? How do you intend my husband to do that?” Niamh asked calmly.
Hannah rolled her big eyes, eyes filled with jealousy for Niamh.
“I know your family is rich, but I don’t want money. I want him!”
Hannah emphasized. She was certainly prepared for this.
When Niamh heard that, she chuckled involuntarily.
Hannah’s face fell. “What are you laughing at, Eveline?”
“ I’m laughing at how naive you are, Miss Bolton. ”
“..” Hannah’s face fell. Displeased, she asked, “ What are you trying to say, Eveline?”
“I want to say that not only won’t my husband take responsibility for you, he can even ask you to take responsibility for your crime.”
“…” Hannah was immediately stunned when she heard that. She felt that Niamh was scaring her, but she figured she would not be scared easily.
“Eveline, are you trying to scare me? Mr. Waldburg slept with me and he abandoned me. The person who should be pressing charges should be me!
What responsibility should I bear?”
“If you feel that way, you can go to the police station to sue my husband.”
Niamh’s attitude became firmer too.
Hannah’s heart sank; she was not as domineering as before.
The sight of Niamh’s calm face made her heart start pounding.
“Eveline, I know that you’re actually upset because something like that happened to me and your husband. You’re just being stubborn. You don’t have to scare me too. Do you think I won’t dare to report this to the police?”
After Hannah said that, Niamh slammed her phone down on the coffee table with a loud smack.
“Call them right now.” Her expression was arrogant and cheerless.
“…” Hannah was stunned once again.
Niamh clicked her heels and walked in front of Hannah elegantly and then pointed behind Hannah.
“Do you see that camera? It clearly recorded everything we said just now.”
“…” Hannah turned her head abruptly to look behind her when she heard that. Sure enough, she did find a camera.
‘But what will this prove?’ she thought, unconvinced. She then heard Niamh’s cold voice again…
“Miss Bolton, you just said that you knew Carter was setting you up with my husband. You also knew Carter was using such an unethical method to ‘ match’ you and my husband, didn’t you?”
Niamh reminded Hannah of what she had just said.
Hannah froze for a moment. She still did not quite understand what Niamh wanted to express.
However, what Niamh said next quickly woke her up.
“So, Miss Bolton, you had done it knowingly. Not only did you not reject Carter’s so-called ‘kind arrangement’, but you also thought that you were giving yourself up nobly. Is that true?”
“…” Hannah had an embarrassed look on her face; her eyes seemed to dart around hurriedly.
