Burned Once, Never Again (Niamh and Castiel)

Chapter

85

When Niamh spent those few months abroad, she had seen how

much Simon spoiled his daughter. Then, Roseanne had run off to the desert.

He then turned toward her instead. If he wasn't bringing her to all

sorts of events, he was having people design all sorts of jewelry for her. After all, his wife, Brandi Clarke, already had more than enough jewelry to last a lifetime. Niamh didn't want to let the Jamisons know about her relationship with Simon. If Castiel saw her driving this car, he would definitely look into it.

Little did she know, Castiel had already asked Lucian to find out about the relationship she shared with Simon.

He wasn't the type to be convinced that it was a misunderstanding He wasn't going to stop until he found out why she was so close to another man.

Ultimately, Quinn didn't listen to Niamh, saying it was Simon's order. It was then that Niamh learned that Quinn treated Simon's words as gospel.

That afternoon, at the bidding venue, Niamh and Blake sat next to

each other. She sat on his right, while Castiel and Lucian sat on his left.

The air felt very tense.

Castiel glanced at Lucian. Lucian tilted his head to the side, not

daring to meet Castiel's gaze at all.

He also didn't expect Niamh and Blake to show up here together. ThisAll content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

meant that Blake had approved her design proposal.

Castiel vibrated with rage.

Meanwhile, Niamh looked completely indifferent. She was wearing a beige tailored suit, making her seem dignified and capable. Despite her small stature, she carried the look perfectly. Several companies at the front had already submitted their tenders, but they all failed at the final review.

It was obvious how strict the final review was for Linden Grove. They had to do a comprehensive assessment that also took into consideration the surrounding facilities.

Soon, it was time for Blake and Castiel to tender their designs. Niamh's heart caught in her throat. She glanced at Blake, but he seemed unbothered.

Suddenly, her phone buzzed from an incoming text, distracting her. She looked down at her phone to find a text from Castiel. "I'll handle you when we get out of here!"

Niamh could hear him say that to her. She glared at him.

He may look completely composed, but his energy exposed his true emotions. He was enraged.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, when Sienna heard what had happened, she clutched her belly and laughed. The story pleased her greatly. She could imagine what Niamh must have been thinking at the time. "Not bad. I'll give you an extra bonus!" she said generously.

The agreement she had with Macy was fixed, but she was willing to fork out more money if it meant Niamh would suffer more. However, she didn't expect Macy to look at her disdainfully at the mention of money.

Evidently, Macy didn't care about the money. On the other hand, Sienna didn't care that Macy was giving her an attitude.

"Even though you're doing rather well, you have to speed things up!"

She couldn't wait for another moment longer. At first, she wanted to make Niamh and Castiel break up before Margaret's birthday, but it didn't seem possible right now.

A cold glint flashed in her eyes.

When Macy said nothing, Sienna's gaze sharpened. "Don't you dare think about what you're not supposed to think about!"

She could clearly tell what kind of feelings Macy held for Castiel. She didn't want another stubborn woman like Niamh in his life again.

At the final review, the atmosphere at the event had become strange. After a thorough review and multiple rounds of discussions, the results were announced.
