His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 567

In stark contrast to Carlotta's tearful expression, Niamh crossed her arms and offered a dismissive shrug. "Right. Your hands are always tied."

It was the same excuse they used when they sent her to Juvenile Hall, and it was the same excuse now.

But this time, it worked in her favor. She already wanted the divorce, and gaining access to the Quinn family's network was a decent consolation prize.

"Even though you already wanted to divorce Jonathan, your father and I feel we should compensate you for disrupting your marriage. Take a look at these projects…" Carlotta said, sliding several folders across the table to Niamh.

"These are all solid ventures… the Azureland property is perfect for a new culinary center… the Eastview development includes plans for a hospital… and there's a rare earth mining opportunity…"

Before Carlotta could finish, Niamh snapped the folders shut. "I'll take them all."

"What?" Hayes and Carlotta exclaimed in unison.

Niamh smiled calmly. "Didn't you hear me? I said, I'll take all of them."

"But…" Hayes and Carlotta hesitated. These were all guaranteed money-makers, and they couldn't just hand them all over to Niamh. If the patriarch found out, he'd likely take everything back.

"What's the matter?" Niamh taunted. "Were all of these originally meant for your precious adopted daughter? Did you just plan to toss me one to soothe your guilty consciences?"

"Rina…"

Before Hayes could speak, Niamh shoved all the folders back onto the table. "It's all of them, or none of them."

With that, she stood up and turned to leave.

"Rina!" Hayes called out, his voice sharp. "No matter what, your mother and I are your biological parents. Blood is thicker than water! Can't you show us a little more respect?"

Niamh paused with her back to them, the silence stretching on for a long moment.
