Chapter 73 I’ll Deal With It But she quickly dismissed the idea. How could Claudia possibly have this ability? She was someone who had been adopted since childhood, and the Friedan family had not yet acknowledged her. Where did she have the ability to protect Tom? “Daddy, do we have any enemies…” she said, but was immediately intimidated by Dempsey’s sinister gaze. “Since Adron started engaging in illegal activities, I had long retired from the business. Over the years, the worst I did was getting people dirty, but I would never kill anyone. But you, at such a young age, you’re thinking about murder. Who gave you the courage?” Rosalie lowered her head, clenched her teeth, and held back the words in her heart. Murder, it was not the first time. Because the first time went smoothly, she thought the second and third times would also go smoothly, but she didn’t expect to encounter a stumbling block. She bit her lower lip hard and said, “Dad, don’t worry, Elva is also involved in this matter.” I’m sorry, Elva. Who knew this would fail! 1 40 Vouchers Now only dad can help oneself to survive. “Elva?” Dempsey’s eye bags narrowed into a line. “She’s willing to help you because of this?” “Yes, father, now we are like two fleas on a rope, unable to shake each other off. If this matter is exposed, neither she nor I can escape.” Of course, the cooperation was also finished. Dempsey remained silent and said calmly, “I will handle this matter.” In the hospital, Claudia played the recording again.
This time, Waldron and Derrick listened to the entire recording. The expressions on Waldron and Derrick’s faces were somewhat solemn. “Rosalie, that bit ch!” Waldron cursed aloud. If it weren’t for his luck, he would have been six feet under by now. “To try and kill me over a paternity test, she’s truly a lu natic!” Watching Waldron jumping up and down, Claudia was filled with relief. In the end, it was because of her.
Waldron being lively and energetic was already a blessing from above. If Waldron had died because of her, she might not have been able to move on for many years. Fortunately, Rosalie’s good days were also coming to an end. “The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Da mn it, has my father 15:47 lost his mind? And Elva, what does she mean? Always going against the grain.” Waldron looked at Derrick, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes. “You go ask her, what does she really mean? Does she want to change her last name to Clayton?” “Waldron,” Derrick frowned, slightly annoyed by his words, “She’s your sister too, you can ask her yourself if there’s something.” “Give it up. If I were to question her, she might cry and complain in front of you again, and then I would be at a loss for words.” Waldron sneered and did not utter any more offensive words. He crossed his arms and looked somewhat bored toward the door, “Why haven’t Ervin and the scu mbag come in yet?” Outside the door, Edmond listened to every word from Ervin, all filled with concern for Claudia, but there was indifference in the corners of his eyebrows. From her marriage to divorce, every detail, at first Edmond would still answer, but in the end, he simply remained silent. However, with just these few short conversations, Ervin had already gained a rough understanding of
Claudia’s marital situation. “Married for three years, you only treated her as a decoration, Mr. Lamont. Why did you marry her in the first place?” Ervin smiled as he looked at him, not missing any expression on his face. If he had only wanted to marry a trophy wife, Edmond clearly had better options at the time, but he stubbornly chose Claudia. Edmond’s silent eyes turned cold, his pitch-black pupils shrinking slightly, as deep as a whirlpool. “Mr. Friedan, did you care too much about her?” 27.64% 15:47 “Huh, she didn’t tell you?” Ervin raised an eyebrow, followed by a beautiful smile spreading across his face. Edmond’s Adam’s apple twitched, and he furrowed his brow in confusion. These days, he deliberately ignored Claudia’s updates and messages, but Ervin’s words inexplicably stirred up a sense of restlessness. It was like there was a secret, she told everyone, but she didn’t tell him. Seeing Edmond fail, Ervin laughed like a fox. Since Claudia didn’t say anything, there was no need for him to inform in advance, after all, Edmond didn’t tell him the answer either. Some things cannot be asked, but they can always be traced through investigation. It seemed like Ervin couldn’t see the coldness on Edmond’s face as he fearlessly asked, “Have you never had feelings for her?” He could tell that Claudia had feelings for him, but Edmond was someone who habitually hid his clumsiness and rarely showed his emotions. If he also had feelings for Claudia, there were some things he could still try to mediate. Not only for Claudia, but also for the baby in her belly, we need to consider. He looked at Edmond, waiting for his answer. If he didn’t like Claudia, then he would definitely bring Claudia back home, along with the baby in herBelonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
belly, and they would also be raised in the Friedan family. Didn’t you ever have feelings for her? 16.07 15:47 Ervin’s words made Edmond’s eyes darken and his lips curl in a cold, indifferent manner. Is there any meaning in having feelings or not having feelings anymore when we have already divorced? Seeing Ervin’s teasing look, Edmond immediately thought of Thomas playing matchmaker. The man from Wellfort had already investigated thoroughly, but none of them were satisfactory. But if this person is Ervin, it can barely be tolerated. Edmond pondered deeply. Over the years, Ervin has never had any scandals and remains the top choice for all the Wellfort girls in terms of being the best husband. Claudia should not be wronged by being with him. If someone disliked her, he could bring her back without delay. “No.” Edmond’s relaxed fingers tightened slightly, and the darkness in his eyes made it difficult to discern. Ervin’s eyes contained a hint of scrutiny, and it was hard to tell his emotions. “Thank you for answering my questions and clearing up my confusion.” “Well, take good care of her,” Edmond said, and Ervin paused for a moment before nodding. “If she didn’t have a good life, I would bring her back.” Ervin smiled, his eyes curved like a crescent moon, “Don’t worry, there won’t be this opportunity.” 63.66% 15:47 Edmond intended to go into the ward, but after some thought, he decided to stop in his tracks. He was afraid that if he saw her again a few more times, he would really not be able to resist tying her back. Many years later, every time Edmond remembered this matter, he regretted it deeply.
It was this decision that cost him so much… After half a day of hanging water, Claudia walked out of the hospital. Ervin and the others asked her to return to the Friedan family, but she strongly insisted on going back to her grandmother’s cottage. Thinking about Rosalie facing legal sanctions, she finally had a good night’s sleep. The next morning, Ervin, Waldron, and Derrick all came to pick her up. Several people rushed to the police station, eating breakfast in the nearby alley. Four people squeezed around a small wooden table, attracting a lot of attention. “Did that person really come from the capital?” Derrick finished his last bite of noodles, feeling that this matter was too mysterious. Never mind where Claudia got such specific information, let’s just talk about the person who came from the capital, hit someone, and offended them. There is no difference between him coming from the capital and being chased by others. “Once I said I would come, I will come. Why do you have so much 78.80% 15.47 40 Vouchers nonsense?” Waldron wore a hat today, conveniently covering the bandage on his head. Seeing Derrick looking skeptical, he picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth. Although he didn’t really believe it, he trusted Claudia. Whatever she said was true. Claudia happily finished her last sip of soy milk when she received a text message from Pedro. Claudia opened it with a smile on her face…
