Chapter 538 Niamh Went Out
"Niamh, how could you think of me like that? I've been wholeheartedly devoted to you, managing the company for you. Selling the company and assets was a last resort. Trust me, I will help you rise again," Jesse said, looking heartbroken by Niamh's words.
Niamh was furious and on the verge of losing it. She couldn't really sue Jesse. At this moment, she was utterly helpless against him.
Niamh had no understanding of running a company, and now she didn't even know the specifics of the situation. All she knew was that she had lost everything.
Even her bank account was frozen.
Seeing Niamh's frantic yet clueless state, Jesse didn't feel any sympathy. Instead, he relished the feeling of having power over someone else.
Jesse reached out to touch Niamh's face. "Niamh, in this world, only I treat you the best. You are my woman."
Niamh slapped Jesse's hand away and glared at him fiercely. "Jesse, you're heartless. Give me back my money and my company."
She was still waiting for the money to take Finnegan abroad. Without money, she couldn't leave the country.
Niamh had originally thought that by selling off some assets, she would have endless money to spend and could live a blissful life abroad with Finnegan.
She didn't expect Jesse would beat her to it and empty all her assets.
Deacon was dead, Natalie had fallen, and Niamh had no one to rely on but Jesse.
"I told you, the company went bankrupt. Niamh, as long as you stay with me, I won't let you suffer," Jesse said. "You only have me now."
Niamh stared at Jesse with hatred, wishing she could bore a hole through him with her eyes.
The fact that she couldn't get a single penny from Jesse was driving her insane.
She went to consult a lawyer but couldn't even afford the legal fees. In the end, she had to sell her jewelry to scrape together a million dollars.
However, even after spending money on the lawyer, she couldn't do anything to Jesse. He had done everything legally.
A completely law-ignorant Niamh, combined with her lack of business acumen, was naturally at Jesse's mercy.
After seeing the lawyer, Niamh wanted to go to the hospital to find Natalie for help. But as soon as she arrived, she saw doctors and nurses rushing around, and even the police were there in numbers.
Something had happened.
Natalie had committed suicide.
Niamh was frantic as Natalie died at a time when she needed her most.
"Doctor, you must save my mom. You must." Niamh grabbed the doctor, her tone urgent, as if she were genuinely worried.
Niamh was indeed worried, but she was worried about who would help her if Natalie died.
When Natalie had her accident, the police also notified Ophelia.
Ophelia knew Niamh was at the hospital, so she didn't go. Natalie having an accident at this time was really unexpected.
Ophelia was still waiting for Niamh to leave town again. Now, the police were searching in the direction Niamh had taken off the highway. If Niamh went, they would surely find Finnegan more accurately.
The doctors did their best to save Natalie, and in the end, they could only barely keep her alive. Natalie became a vegetable.
Niamh was furious, but thinking that Natalie could no longer speak, the police had no evidence of her past deeds, which made her feel somewhat relieved.
Natalie becoming a vegetable rendered her useless to the police.
Niamh stayed at the hospital until dark before leaving.
This time, Niamh drove toward the outskirts. She hadn't seen Finnegan for days, and Jesse's actions had made her irritable, so she wanted to see Finnegan.
The police had been secretly watching Niamh.
Niamh had no idea she was being followed. Once she got on the highway, she sped up toward her destination.
Ophelia, upon learning that Niamh had left town again, felt a surge of excitement. She was about to drive out when Lynn arrived.
This was the first time Lynn had come since Finnegan's incident.
Lynn had been out performing and had just returned. Upon hearing about Finnegan's incident, she came straight over.
