Chapter 180 Let the Parks Family Come to Orchid Garden
Ophe didn't ask if there was medicine in the water; she directly affirmed that there was.
This assertive language also made Blaire subconsciously focus on who gave her the medicine and who instructed her, forgetting to deny whether there was medicine in the water.
In her heart, she had already admitted that there was medicine in the water.
It was the art of language.
Seeing Paxton beaten like this, even Niamh restrained herself a lot in front of the husband of Ophe. She even mentioned their engagement. Even if Blaire was slow-witted, she knew that Ophe's husband was a big shot, someone she couldn't afford to offend.
Blaire couldn't offend Niamh and couldn't afford it with Ophe, either.
Blaire subconsciously looked at Niamh, and Niamh said nervously, "Blaire, think through before you speak. What happened? Why did you follow Ophe to this event? Who did the drugging?"
Niamh's words were clearly a threat to Blaire, warning her not to speak recklessly.
But the people present were not deaf and blind. How could they not understand what was going on?
Blaire's mind couldn't process information rapidly enough, unable to assess the pros and cons. She anxiously asked Ophe, "If I tell the truth, will you not blame me? I was also forced. I didn't have any other choice."
Once those words were spoken, everyone present understood even more what was happening.
Ophe said in a cold tone, "You conspired with the people behind you to frame me. When you drugged me, you shouldn't have such thoughts of delusion, hoping for my forgiveness. Today, whether I forgive you or not, don't even think about leaving unscathed. If I don't pursue you, there are plenty of others who will trouble you. Think it over; do you want to speak now or keep it inside forever? Don't forget, there are surveillance cameras here."
In other words, if Blaire doesn't speak now, she might never have the chance to speak.
Niamh would make sure Blaire could never speak out.
Blaire struggled internally and looked at Niamh before saying, "It was Miss Niamh who told me to do this. She gave me medicine and told me to make Ophe drink it. She also told me to trick Paxton into coming to the private room."
Upon hearing this, the whole crowd was in an uproar, looking at Niamh with strange eyes.
'How could the noble Miss from Parks Corporation be so evil?' They brooded.
Not long ago, she was involved in a public scandal, and now she was drugging her employee and forcing her onto Paxton. She was too malicious.
"Blaire, you're talking nonsense," Niamh said, propping herself up and attempting to rush toward Blaire. However, she exerted too much force, and her injured leg hit the wheelchair, causing her to lose balance and fall to the ground in a very embarrassing manner.
Paxton, who was barely alive from the beating, felt like he had caught a lifeline upon hearing that he was being framed. He angrily asked Niamh, "Miss Niamh, why would you plot against me? We have no grudges, but you are so malicious. CEO Abbott, you heard it. I am being framed."
Finnegan's demeanor chilled, fixing Niamh with a glare as sharp as ice shards. Niamh felt a chill down her spine and anxiously defended herself, "It wasn't me. They're falsely accusing me, Finnegan. Don't believe their words."
Finnegan's voice was icy as he said, "I'll give you a chance to reorganize your words."
Niamh refused to admit it, saying, "It really wasn't me. I don't know anything about drugging someone. Finnegan, you have to believe me. We've known each other for almost ten years. You know me. How could I do such a thing?"
After her words, Finnegan called the bodyguards outside, "Take her to Orchid Garden and notify the Parks Family to come there."
Two bodyguards immediately came in and took Niamh away, along with the wheelchair. Blaire, who was a witness, was naturally taken away as well.
As for Paxton, Finnegan didn't care about him. The beating he had just received had already rendered him useless.
After Niamh was taken away, Finnegan held Ophe's hand and walked out, and the onlookers automatically made way for them.
Ophe glanced at Finnegan, feeling the warmth of being protected and favored by someone. If she weren't Finnegan's wife today, she would have fallen into Paxton's clutches. She could already imagine that even if she reported Niamh and Paxton to the police, they would come up with a story accusing her of seducing Paxton and placing all the blame on her.
As someone with no background, she wouldn't stand a chance of getting justice.
A few held the reins of justice.
After Finnegan left, the news of the events that happened tonight remained sealed, and no one dared to reveal a word.
Upon receiving the call, Dovie learned that Niamh had caused trouble and left a party in a hurry to go to Orchid Garden.
