Chapter 341 Deception
Dovie felt very conflicted these days due to Niamh's denial of Ricky and Ophelia's inquiry about Natalie's childbirth.
Dovie could also sense that Niamh had been trying to please her lately, afraid of making her angry. In the past, Niamh wouldn't have been so obedient.
Moreover, she always saw a shadow of Natalie's youth in Niamh recently. She had always been curious about where Natalie's child had gone back then, but she had never asked Natalie about this matter.
The assistant knocked on the door. "Dovie, the secretary of Abbott Corporation just called, inviting you to dinner tonight."
Dovie was a bit surprised, then nodded. "Okay, you go ahead and arrange it. By the way, what is Niamh doing now?"
"She is receiving business guests from France," the assistant said. "They are already going through the signing process. Miss Niamh is very capable this time. She not only exceeded the budget but also negotiated an additional two points of profit."
Upon hearing this news, Dovie was also surprised. 'Has Niamh finally made progress?' she pondered.
Dovie was very pleased.
The assistant continued. "Niamh is indeed your daughter. When she gets serious, she is really impressive. The industry admires the business spirit of the Parks family. They say everyone in the Parks family knows how to do business."
Dovie said, "That's true. My sister is better at business than me. If she had joined the company back then, the company might have developed even better."
Although Dovie was known as an iron lady, she was warm-hearted inside. She would never do anything that went against her conscience, which also led to low profits, but the reputation was established.
The assistant said, "Natalie is also here today."
"Natalie is here?" Dovie hadn't been aware about this.
"Yes, Natalie is accompanying Niamh."
"Alright, I'll go take a look," Dovie said. "You go reply to Abbott Corporation, telling them that I will be there for the appointment tonight."
"Got it." The assistant left.
Dovie walked to the meeting room and stood outside the glass door. Niamh and the business guests from France had already signed the contract. They were shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries.
Natalie was standing by, full of pride, looking at Niamh's excellent performance. Her gaze on Niamh made Dovie have a bold guess in her heart.
'Only a mother would have such gaze,' Dovie thought.
The more Dovie looked at them, the more she felt that Niamh and Natalie were similar.
In the meeting room, Niamh reached out her left hand to greet the guests. Seeing this scene, Dovie couldn't help but remember something.
She remembered that Natalie was left-handed, but her left-handed habit was forcibly changed by her father when she was young.
When Niamh returned to the Parks family, Natalie found out that Niamh was also left-handed. She forcibly made Niamh use her right hand, explaining to Dovie that it was for appearance's sake. Being left-handed somewhat affected one's image.
Niamh and Natalie escorted the guests out together. Dovie subconsciously hid, not letting the two see her.
After the guests left, Natalie hugged Niamh. "Niamh, you did great. If Dovie had seen it, she would be very happy."
The successful signing was all secretly aided by Natalie. To give Niamh a good impression and performance in front of Dovie, Natalie promised the guests a private rebate.
Niamh was also very happy. "Seeing me successfully sign the contract, Dovie should be reassured to hand over the company to me, right?"
"As long as you work hard and manage the company well, Dovie will be reassured," Natalie said. "You are more exceptional than Dovie back then. Dovie was brought up by your grandfather from a young age, while you have only been back in this family for about ten years. You have just started to get involved in the company's business and you are already so capable. Your path will be longer than Dovie's."
Niamh smiled and hugged Natalie. "It's all thanks to you. I will take good care of you in the future. You are my second parent."
What Niamh said was actually meant to please Natalie as it was Natalie who brought her back to the Parks family.
Without Natalie, she would be nothing.
She used sweet words to keep Natalie happy so Natalie would not expose her true identity.
Now, there were only two people who knew she was a false heir: Deacon and Natalie.
As for Sybil, she could never speak again.
