Chapter 473 Tate's True Identity
After Niamh had her stomach pumped, she felt completely exhausted, lying on the hospital bed with an IV drip.
Jesse, busy attending to her, watched Niamh's miserable state and reminded her. "You can call the police."
"It won't help. It will only be considered just food poisoning." Niamh knew well that this incident wouldn't shake the Abbott family in the slightest.
It was just like how Ophelia knew that Niamh had harmed Dovie but couldn't do anything about it for now.
"Then you should stay away from the Abbott family. You have over a billion dollars now, young and beautiful, surpassing ninety-nine percent of women. You have such good conditions. There's no need to always clash with the Abbott family." Jesse couldn't understand how someone so thoughtless could be so bold.
That was Finnegan, who had built a commercial empire myth. Jesse had investigated Finnegan, and apart from Finnegan being framed some time ago, he had no failures.
Even so, those who had framed Finnegan ended up miserable.
Everyone knew these were Finnegan's retaliations after deliberation.
If Finnegan truly wanted to kill Niamh, it would be too easy.
It was just that Niamh's family name was Parks. Silencing Niamh was simple, but it would be difficult for her to confess and get punishment.
Unwillingly, Niamh said, "You don't understand. A person who has only eaten bread will find a chicken leg delicious. But I am different from you. I am the heiress to the Parks family. Everything from the Parks family was supposed to be mine, including Finnegan. He should have been mine but taken away by Ophelia. How can I accept this? Even my fingers were cut off by Finnegan."
Jesse came from a humble background. Natalie sponsored his tuition. Despite having a broad vision, Jesse could only reach for what was in front of him, nothing higher.
Having been the heiress to the Parks family for ten years, Niamh had gradually come to believe that everything in the Parks family belonged to her, including the outstanding Finnegan.
However, Niamh could only watch Finnegan and Ophelia in love now, naturally feeling jealous.
Niamh took off her gloves, revealing the fingerless area. Jesse, seeing it, was deeply shaken.
Jesse had never seen Niamh take off her gloves before. He had thought it was just her habit, not realizing the reason behind it.
Her once-perfect hands were now missing two fingers. Anyone would hold resentment.
Jesse impulsively grabbed Niamh's hand, staring at the missing fingers. "Was it very painful at that time?"
Niamh was surprised at Jesse's sudden sentimentality. She pulled her hand back and said, "I will never forget the pain."
Realizing he had lost control just now, Jesse apologized, "I'm sorry. Take a rest. I'll go get the medicine."
Niamh dared not call the police, fearing that they would detect the cause of Dovie's illness, so she had to endure it.
While Niamh lay in the hospital, the banquet hadn't ended until ten at night.
On their way back, Ophelia, with Finnegan and Warmie, suddenly remembered something. "Finnegan, where has Tate gone? It's been a long time since we've seen her. Could something have happened to her?"
"I can't reach her either," Finnegan said, "And I don't know where Atticus found her. Tate is not an ordinary person. If I were to confront her, I might not even win."
Finnegan had been training since childhood. Without some self-defense skills, he wouldn't have survived until now.
Ophelia was surprised. "Tate is so formidable?"
Although Ophelia had never seen Tate fight, from their last encounter at the underground casino, she could tell that Tate was definitely strong.
In such a stern situantion in the casino, Tate showed no fear, possibly moving around freely because no one could stop her.
"Definitely," Finnegan said, putting his arm around Ophelia, "With Tate protecting you and Warmie, I feel much more at ease."
"But we can't keep Tate as a bodyguard for good. That would be a waste of her talents. And it would ruin Tate's happiness. By the way, I haven't heard Tate mention if she has a boyfriend."
Ophelia said, "Also, I've noticed something. Tate not only knows English but also French. She is strong and knows several languages. Do you think she might have been trained like those professional female assassins on TV? It's been so long since she contacted us. Did something happen to her?"
