Chapter 332 The Police Arrive
Dovie looked at her daughter, who had become obedient by her side, and for some reason, in that moment, when she looked up, she saw a glimpse of a young Natalie in her daughter's features.
The young Natalie was very good at pleasing and acting cute, often following behind George.
Later, the relationship between them soured because Dovie entered the company while Natalie had to strive for her career, which caused Natalia's dissatisfaction at the time.
Dovie overheard Natalie arguing with her father George, and after that big fight, Natalie went to Europe.
Natalie rarely came back. Even when her father passed away, she didn't rush back for the funeral.
Dovie knew that Natalie had a child, but she wasn't very clear about the child's situation.
"Mom, why are you looking at me like that?" Niamh saw Dovie lost in thought and called her again.
Dovie came back to herself, smiled, and said, "I suddenly feel a bit tired."
She reached out and touched Niamh's face, carefully examining Niamh's features. The more she looked, the more she felt that Niamh resembled Natalie, especially the mole in her eyebrows, which Natalie also had.
"What's going on with you today?" Niamh felt very uneasy. Ever since she found out she wasn't biologically related to Dovie, she felt insecure and lacked confidence.
In the past, she wouldn't have cared about Dovie. Relying on being the sole heir, she had no worries, just indulging in pleasure every day.
Now, without her confidence, every move Dovie made made her as nervous as a startled bird. She would wonder if Dovie had discovered she wasn't her biological daughter.
Dovie withdrew her hand and said, "I went to check on Ophelia. Ophelia is fine, but Old Abbott is in the hospital. Old Abbott is getting on in years and is suffering this time."
"What? Ophelia is fine?" Niamh stood up in surprise.
'That idiot Seraphina said she had already poisoned her, and Ophelia was hospitalized. How did it become Old Abbott in the hospital?' Niamh was confused.
Seeing Niamh's strong reaction, Dovie said, "I heard that someone poisoned the pregnant woman's milk powder, and Old Abbott drank it, so she was hospitalized that day. Fortunately, Ophelia didn't drink it, or there would have been trouble. The Abbott Family didn't tell all the facts, nor did they say who poisoned it, but the person has been taken away by the police."
Niamh's face changed instantly. 'If Seraphina went in, would she confess? Then she would be finished.' She pondered.
"How long has the poisoner been in the police station?" Niamh was trembling with fear, afraid that Seraphina wouldn't keep her mouth shut and would expose her.
"It should have been an hour or two. I've been back for a while." Dovie asked, "Niamh, what's wrong with you? Your face looks so pale. Why are you so agitated hearing the culprit was caught?"
"I just feel this is too unexpected." Niamh was panicking. "Did you see Ophelia and Finnegan? What did they say? As the culprit was caught, did he or she say anything?"
Niamh didn't dare to go to the police station to inquire, which would be like walking into a trap.
"They didn't say anything at all. Oh, by the way, it seems the culprit confessed everything." Dovie said, "At least eight years in prison."
"The culprit confessed everything?" Niamh was completely panicked.
Niamh cursed Seraphina as an idiot underneath. She had overestimated Seraphina. If she couldn't handle such a small matter, she would end up in jail too.
Just then, the sound of police sirens came from outside, which scared Niamh.
She looked outside in a panic. The sound of the sirens was getting closer, as if they were coming this way.
Dovie also curiously looked outside. "What's happening in the neighborhood? Why are there police?"
Niamh didn't have the mind to answer Dovie's question. 'Could it be that Seraphina had betrayed her, and the police were coming to arrest her?' She pondered.
Niamh didn't dare to hide, as that would be even more suspicious. She thought about how to handle the situation in her mind.
Sure enough, the police car stopped at the Parks Family gate, and soon there was a knock on the door.
Dovie went to open it, and two police officers stood at the door, showing their badges. "Hello, we are from the North End Police Station. We are looking for Niamh. Is she at home?"
Inside the house, hearing this, Niamh' legs went weak directly.
