See You Never, Mr. Lamont

Chapter 44

Chapter 44 The DNA Test “Pedro!” The assistant exclaimed in surprise. Pedro Ryan was a popular celebrity, with good looks and impressive acting skills. At a young age, he had already earned the title of Best Actor, making him a sought-after investment for capitalists. How did he get together with Claudia? The assistant dared not look at the expression of their own boss. It was fine when Claudia and Waldron had a good relationship before, but how come now she is hanging out with a popular young actor? “Claudia…” he swallowed, stammering, “Impressive.” This resource, this network, this means, he was outmatched. Edmond’s eyes were indifferent and icy, his pupils like a deep and unfathomable pool, hiding knives that sent shivers down one’s spine. He thought that by marrying Claudia, she would truly become a obedient wife, but now it seems that his wife has many secrets. First came Waldron, then Pedro. He underestimated her. As the assistant watched the temperature around their boss drop suddenly, they began to feel torn between advancing or retreating. Should we continue to park the car here or drive it to the underground parking lot? He now deeply regrets saying those words. The next time he sees Claudia with someone else, he would rather turn a blind eye. Just as he was hesitating, Edmond opened the car door and walked toward the tea house. He stood tall and walked steadily. Because he was so outstandingly good-looking, people passing by couldn’t help but glance at him again and again.

The assistant watched Pedro and Claudia chatting happily and couldn’t help but sweat for their own boss. Would Edmond not do anything in a fit of anger? There were still many papar a zzi waiting outside, hoping that Edmond would stay calm and not make a scene. Beside the teahouse window, Pedro proved himself to be a star.

The beautiful face was androgynous, with fair skin like snow, a high and straight nose, and lips as graceful as cherry blossoms, resembling a handsome young man from a comic book. Claudia glanced at him a few times and had to admit that he had all the qualifications to become a popular young actor. After all, among all the men in Enigma, he was the most handsome. “You are a hot celebrity now, it’s not appropriate for us to openly sit here,” Claudia frowned and glanced outside, indeed there were a few papar poking their heads out. “Aren’t you divorced already? Why do you still care about this?” he scoffed, picking up the orange on the table and peeling it absentmindedly. “I remember you loved eating oranges, but you hated peeling them.” After peeling it gracefully, he gently placed the orange in front of her and said, “This orange must be sweet, try it.” Claudia glanced helplessly at the orange and then looked over at Elva. Sure enough, Elva’s eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost. Gilda pinched herself hard and murmured, “Did I dream? Did I see someone? Pedro?” “He peeled oranges for Claudia…..” “I must have been dreaming!” Upon hearing her nagging voice, Elva finally regained all her thoughts. She took a deep look at Claudia and said, “I didn’t see it wrong, it’s Pedro.” “This Claudia is even more impressive than I imagined. Judging by how close she is with Pedro, they

must have known each other before the divorce.” Edmond and Claudia’s divorce happened this month, and they just went to the courthouse yesterday to complete the formalities. In such a short period of time, it is absolutely impossible for Claudia to meet a new man, especially someone as influential as Pedro. Who is Pedro? He was a top-tier celebrity, already established as a leading star, and had never been involved in any scandals. You could see the intimate way he was with Claudia, as if they were deliberately making their relationship public. After tomorrow, this matter will surely spread far and wide. “Oh my g od, I witnessed history!” Gilda trembled as she took out her phone and quickly snapped a photo. She immediately posted it on Instagram, eagerly asking, “Elva, do you think Claudia will give me Pedro’s autograph if I ask her?” I completely forgot about her and Claudia’s grudge. Elva rolled her eyes in silence and reminded her, “You forgot that you had already fallen out with her.” Gilda immediately closed her mouth. Jealousy surged in Elva’s heart as she watched Claudia and Pedro being affectionate with each other. Why, why does Claudia always have such good luck? Waldron helped her, and now she has Pedro. Why are we all humans, yet our destinies have such huge differences? Jealousy gnawed at her heart, making her feel both pain and hatred. Pedro started peeling oranges again, but Claudia didn’t eat them. She pushed the oranges back and said helplessly, “Did you encounter any trouble? Are you trying to make a fuss with me?” After tomorrow, she is expected to become famous. Pedro blinked his beautiful eyes and said, “Guess.” “Alright, let’s get to the point.” Pedro sat up straight, lowering his eyes sadly, “It’s been so long since we last met, and no one even cares about me. It hurts.” Claudia: “I

After all this time, he is still the same. Pedro played around with tea, pouring it from one cup to another. “That Waldron had obtained a paternity test at the hospital before the incident occurred.” Claudia immediately sat up straight. DNA testing? “What does this have to do with my background?” Claudia frowned, puzzled and confused. Pedro gave her a deep, mysterious look. “That paternity test was done using your hair and Thomas’ hair. Claudia’s face turned pale gradually. The words Ervin had said to her seemed to echo in her ears. “Have you ever thought that you were Seraphina?” “What if this wasn’t a dream?” Claudia’s heart trembled, and she stared at Pedro intently. “How about it, isn’t it so cliché?” Pedro shrugged, helplessly rubbing his forehead. “My Claudia turns out to be the daughter of a billionaire. What should I do? Will I never be able to catch up with her?” “Such a cheesy plot, even a TV drama couldn’t portray it.” Pedro’s joking words carried a hint of sadness. Claudia’s lips slightly parted, and her head buzzed. 7 She thought about Waldron’s attitude toward her, as well as Elva and Ervin’s attitudes. Everything had an answer. No wonder Ervin asked whose handkerchief it was. Seeing Pedro’s helpless look, she slowly found her voice again, “So what if it’s our paternity test? Did you get the results? Is there a high DNA match between me and Thomas?” “I couldn’t get it. The hospital won’t give it to me, and their anti- hacking system is very strict. I can’t get in,” Pedro pondered for a moment. “Why don’t you ask Wilfred to hack into the hospital’s system and check it for you?”

“No, thank you,” her heart raced for a moment, nerves making her head spin. If she hadn’t bitten her lip just now, she would have probably fainted already. “Why?” “Life wouldn’t be so dramatic, and I wouldn’t be Tho ma s’s daughter.” She lowered her eyes and gave a sarcastic smile. Life has given her a lot of hope, but it has also given her despair. She dared not touch this kind of dream again. Seeing her indifferent look, a hint of pain crossed Pedro’s smiling face. What did she experience during the three years of being married to Edmond? She didn’t want to check, but he went to check. He would help her retrieve anything that belonged to her.
