She and Ramona stood face to face as Ramona pointed a shaking finger at her. "Niamh, why are you so lucky? Born into a wealthy family, never having to worry about a thing… Even after changing your name and identity, you got to marry Jonathan and be a pampered wife. And even after the divorce, he still protects you." Ramona's every word dripped with raw, undisguised jealousy.
"You should have had a miserable life… That's why the patriarch abandoned you in the first place." At this, Ramona shrugged and gave a cold sneer. "Everyone says he treated me like his own flesh and blood… If that were true, then why did he only leave me a worthless charity foundation in his will?" "If he never intended for me to take over the Quinn family, why did he bother training me? Why did he have Hayes adopt me?" "Give me a taste of heaven and then kick me right back to hell? On what grounds!" "What did you all take me for?"
"I had already climbed so high, how could I just let go and let you come back to lord it over me? Heh… So I killed him. It was his own damn fault, you can't blame me." "Ramona!" Hayes, pushed beyond his limit, roared with fury. "You ungrateful, backstabbing wretch! After everything the Quinn family did for you!"
Faced with Hayes's incensed accusation, Ramona just laughed and rolled her eyes. "The patriarch was the one who brought a wolf into his own house, who raised a viper in his home. And then he had the nerve to favor an outsider. If he had just left me all the Quinn assets in the first place, none of this would have happened! So I'm telling you, he deserved to die by my hand!"
Just then, the police arrived, swarming the stage and surrounding Ramona. As they led her away, she kept muttering the words "he deserved it" over and over. Wade also went with them to turn himself in. The public trial Niamh had orchestrated for Ramona was finally over. The spectators began to disperse.
