Chapter 410 The Unspoken Truth
Finnegan spared Mary's life, which truly surprised Atticus.
In the hotel, seeing the newspaper's content, Atticus looked at Finnegan, who was drinking coffee beside him and said in surprise, "Finnegan, you didn't send Mary to the Black Village. I thought you really would."
Finnegan calmly drank his coffee and said, "She is just a pawn, a weak woman who depends on men to live. If I really wanted her dead, I wouldn't have met her and made things difficult for her. I would have killed her directly."
Atticus laughed, "Finnegan, now that the case has been withdrawn, when do you plan to go back? Ophelia is still waiting for you."
Finnegan put down his coffee cup, slightly raising an eyebrow. "There's one last person left."
That official is the real mastermind.
This trap's ultimate goal is to damage the country's economy, which is a big deal.
Finnegan stood up. "I'm going to the embassy. You stay here and deal with the media."
Mary turned from plaintiff to defendant, so the media naturally came to the hotel to interview Finnegan.
These matters were left to Atticus to handle.
Ophelia, inland, was also paying attention to the matters here in country M.
Mary's confession, withdrawal from the case, repentance, and apology all made Ophelia happy.
This meant that Finnegan could come back.
Some were happy, some were worried.
In the Parks Family, the news that Finnegan was about to return to the country made Natalie and Niamh fearful.
Niamh, anxious and uneasy, was making phone calls in her room. She had to ensure that the takeover of Parks Corporation on Monday went smoothly.
As long as Monday passed, the entire Parks Family would be in her hands, and Natalie and Dovie would be her stepping stones. Whether she was the heiress of Parks Corporation or not didn't matter.
But if Finnegan returned, Niamh worried that he would meddle and interfere with her taking over as chairman.
After confirming matters over the phone, Niamh went downstairs. Tonight's dinner was specially prepared for Natalie.
Dovie had fallen, and the next one was Natalie.
This time, Niamh didn't cook herself. She handed the conflicting dishes to the maid to prepare while she prepared another conflicting dish. This way, preparing them separately wouldn't arouse suspicion.
To outsiders, those who didn't understand the conflicting ingredients would think it was an ordinary dish.
When the dishes were ready, Natalie came back. Niamh stepped forward and said, "Dinner is ready. Tonight, I'll go to the hospital to take care of my mom. You can rest at home."
"I'd better go. You focus on preparing for Monday's board meeting." Natalie was very happy thinking about this and held Niamh's hand, saying, "Niamh, manage the company well. Don't be as willful as before."
"I know. Let's eat." Niamh, a bit impatient, put one of the conflicting dishes into Natalie's bowl. "Eat."
"Okay." Natalie smiled and ate. With Dovie gone, it was just the two of them eating at home, a rare moment.
In the future, they would be the masters of this house.
The company, the old house, all would be theirs.
Dovie was so ill that she was basically beyond recovery and could die at any time.
Thinking of this, Natalie wanted to reveal Niamh's true identity. She put down her utensils and said, "Niamh, you are about to become the chairman of the company. You have fulfilled my long-cherished wish. Back then, your grandfather set the rule that the company could only be taken over by the eldest daughter, so I was not qualified to enter the company. Now that you are taking over the company, it means you have fulfilled my wish. In the future, this Parks Family will be ours."
Before Natalie could finish, she suddenly felt dizzy, and her vision went black.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Niamh asked knowingly, "Then go to your room and rest."
Natalie shook her head. "I'm fine."
It was just a moment of discomfort. Natalie was about to continue speaking when Niamh's phone rang.
When Niamh answered the call, her expression changed dramatically. She said, "I have to go out for a while," and hurried out.
Natalie didn't have time to reveal the truth.
