Chapter 182 Explanation
The recent screams belonged to Blaire, unable to endure Niamh's torment.
Dovie heard Niamh's voice, filled with excitement and anger toward Blaire's scolding.
Blaire's face was swollen, with blood at the corners of her mouth and her hair in disarray, with a bunch of it on the ground, stained with blood.
Blaire's scalp was torn, blood dripping; it was a terrifying sight.
Blaire's clothes were torn to shreds, leaving only her underwear almost stripped off by Niamh.
Dovie was stunned by what she saw.
It was Niamh, her daughter, who had attacked Blaire.
Niamh had an excited expression on her face as if possessed.
"Niamh," Dovie trembled as she called out, "How did you become like this? How could you do this?"
Dovie approached and pulled Niamh away, then glanced at Blaire, who was trembling and crying in the corner, feeling even more heartache and finding it unbearable to witness this.
When Niamh saw Dovie approaching, she regained some clarity. She had indeed been too excited just now, as she hadn't abused someone like this in a long time.
Before returning to the Parks Family, Niamh had formed a clique in school and bullied other students.
Her living environment had fostered Niamh's cruelty over a long period.
"Mom," Niamh murmured, then snapped back to reality, grabbed Dovie's hand, and said, "Mom, you have to stand up for me. Finnegan married someone else, I am his fiancée, and the Abbott's Family are liars."
"When did Little Finnegan get married? Why haven't I heard about it?" Dovie thought Niamh was going crazy. Seeing Blaire beaten like this, she asked, "Niamh, why did you hit someone? Do you know what you were doing just now? You scared me. Who is this person, and why did you hit her?"
Given the company's size, Dovie rarely acquainted herself with everyone.
Niamh's madness had indeed startled Dovie.
Niamh, playing the victim, said, "Mom, she was talking nonsense and slandering me. I just taught her a lesson."
Blaire timidly spoke, "Chairman Dovie, I'm Blaire. I've been with the company for two months, in the planning department. I didn't slander Niamh. It was her who told me to do so. Please don't hit me anymore, Niamh, please."
Blaire was genuinely scared by Niamh's attack, and the fear in her eyes said it all.
Upon hearing that it was an employee from her own company, Dovie was even more confused, unsure of what had happened.
At that moment, Finnegan's voice came from behind. "Aunt Dovie, let's move to the living room and talk about what happened tonight."
Dovie turned around and saw Ophe there, too, making her even more bewildered.
Niamh and Blaire were brought to the living room, where Finnegan and Ophe sat on the couch. Dovie sat across from them, next to Caspian, who was watching the scene.
Lina brought in a few cups of coffee.
Dovie spoke first. "Little Finnegan, what's going on here? How did Niamh end up with you? What trouble did she cause?"
Dovie couldn't figure out what had happened this time. Finnegan glanced dismissively at the trembling Blaire and guilty Niamh beside him.
Finnegan never expected Niamh to be capable of hurting someone like this. He thought Niamh would slap a few times and curse, but he didn't expect her almost to beat Blaire to a pulp. The bruises all over Blaire's body, the blood at the corner of her mouth, the swollen face, and the bleeding scalp were all clear proof of Niamh's cruelty.
Finnegan didn't immediately answer Dovie but looked at Caspian again. "Make a copy of the video of Niamh attacking Blaire just now and show it to Aunt Dovie. Otherwise, it will be hard to explain these injuries on Blaire's body."
When Niamh heard about the video, she felt a sense of panic. 'When was it recorded?' She brooded.
Caspian nodded. "Alright, Finnegan, I'll do it right away."
Finnegan locked them together, so there must have been a countermove. The room definitely had surveillance cameras, capturing the entire process of Niamh attacking Blaire.
Otherwise, if Blaire was beaten like this and there was no video evidence at Orchid Garden, which was Finnegan's territory, it would not be easy to explain.
Dovie still didn't quite understand what was going on. It was then that Finnegan finally spoke, "Aunt Dovie, it's a bit presumptuous to call you over so late. Our families have had a good relationship since the generation of our grandmothers, and I have always admired you, Aunt Dovie. This matter cannot be made public, so I could only invite you here. Niamh drugged my wife, trying to ruin her innocence. As her husband, it is only natural for me to seek justice for my wife."
