See You Never, Mr. Lamont

Chapter 79

Chapter 79 Don’t Use Me as a Scapegoat Watching them approach her, Claudia chuckled lightly. After today, she was no longer referred to as Edmond’s ex-wife, but as Miss Friedan of the Friedan family. The Friedan’s manor was very large, and the hall on the first floor could accommodate hundreds or even thousands of people, resembling a medieval castle. People who were not qualified to attend the Friedan family banquet in the past were all invited this time, and these people jostled and were extremely excited. Although Thomas was the richest man, it was rare for him to invite so many people. There must be something big about to happen. A group of people surrounded Gilda, asking her for gossip. Benefiting from the fame of the “Friedan” surname, Gilda was naturally delighted to see so many people fawning over her. “Did your uncle host this banquet because of Seraphina?” Gilda nodded, “Yes, Seraphina found it. Today was the family reunion between my uncle and cousin.’ “I heard that Seraphina used to be Edmond’s ex-wife…” The person’s gossip was not finished yet when Gilda immediately interrupted, “Are you talking about Claudia? How could someone like her be my cousin? What are you thinking!” 食す 16:11 “Seraphina came from abroad to study, she is Elva’s classmate, not someone that any Tom, Di ck, or Harry can impersonate.” After Gilda finished speaking, everyone suddenly realized that she was a member of the Friedan family, and her words were also very convincing. The news about Claudia being Seraphina’s sister had already spread outside, but everyone remained skeptical since the whole thing seemed too coincidental.

The Friedan family spent so much money looking for someone, and in the end, the person was right there all along. This kind of

misunderstanding not only embarrassed the Lamont Group, but also embarrassed the people of the Friedan family. When Gilda said this, it also dispelled some people’s gossip thoughts. “Is it true that Horace is going to marry Seraphina?” another gossiping voice chimed in. “Horace!” someone screamed, “Is it Horace from the Ferguson family in Vencumfield? Has he come to Wyvernport?” “He did come, but it is unknown who he married.” Gilda also had her own thoughts, and she also had the last name Friedan. Horace didn’t necessarily have to be with Seraphina. Horace was a scion of the prestigious Vencumfield family. She had seen her on television and looked no less attractive than a celebrity. Coming from a wealthy background and possessing a high level of knowledge, she had completed her PhD at the age of 23. After studying abroad for two years, she was already able to represent the Ferguson family in attending parties and negotiating projects at the age of 26. If she could climb up the Ferguson family, she wouldn’t have to worry 1567% 76.71 about her future and the future of the family business. You see, her current social connections rely solely on the surname “Friedan,” which is both her luck and her sorrow. Not only did she have such thoughts, but Rosalie and other socialites also had such thoughts. Even if they couldn’t seduce Horace, what if they became his confidante? That would only benefit their own families. Rosalie saw that Elva wanted to distance herself from her, so she tactfully did not approach her and instead found Edmond. Since the last time she almost had a relationship with Edmond, he has been indifferent toward her and

has not mentioned marriage again. However, she is not angry. She is now thriving and it seems like luck is on her side. Everything she does goes smoothly. It was normal for Edmond to be angry that day, but she would find a way to make him no longer angry. “Edmond,” Rosalie walked up to Edmond, “Let’s dance together.” In the middle of the dance floor, there were many men and women dancing together, and she felt very excited. Edmond remained silent, while Everett chuckled and teased, “Edmond doesn’t like dancing, how about you and I dance instead?” Jump with Everett? The news doesn’t even know how to write it yet. Rosalie awkwardly declined, “Thank you, if Edmond doesn’t jump, then I won’t jump either.” Seeing her standing there without any intention of leaving, Everett initially wanted to tactfully walk away. However, when he met Edmond’s gaze, he ultimately mustered up the courage to stay. Man, if you want to pursue your ex-wife, don’t use me as a shield! Everett didn’t leave, and there were some things Rosalie couldn’t say. However, no matter how she signaled with her eyes, Everett just wouldn’t leave. Rosalie gave up and simply treated Everett as an invisible person. “Edmond, we have signed a cooperation agreement with the Friedan family, that billion-dollar deal, our family has secured it,” Rosalie said with a faint smile on her face, but her voice carried some excitement and trembling. Edmond’s eyes darkened. At that time, Claudia was wholeheartedly trying to mess up the collaboration, and he even tried to persuade her not to do so. However, it turned out that in the end, the Clayton family still collaborated with the Friedan family. If it were in the past, he would have calmly said congratulations, but now, the first thing that comes to his mind is whether Claudia will be sad or upset. Rosalie saw Edmond not speaking and felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water. “Did you and the Friedan family continue to collaborate?” Everett was the most surprised, wasn’t

Claudia supposed to be Seraphina? How come the Friedan family is working with the Clayton family again, isn’t she Seraphina? “It was Elva who helped me. She couldn’t stand Claudia intentionally sabotaging the cooperation unilaterally, so she spoke up for me and Thomas to ensure the continuation of the collaboration.” After Rosalie finished speaking with a cold face, Everett quickly said, “Wasn’t it Waldron who messed up the collaboration? How did it become Claudia?” “Waldron and I had no grievances, why did he mess up the collaboration?” Rosalie retorted angrily. As soon as her words fell, another voice sneered, “No grievances? Rosalie, are you saying this with a clear conscience?” Not far from them, Waldron and Claudia walked over together with Ervin. When Claudia and Waldron appeared together, they had already caused a great stir. Who is this girl and why have I never seen her before? She was dressed in a high-end black long dress, which wrapped around her curvaceous figure, showcasing her alluring curves to the fullest. Her beautiful face was so captivating that one couldn’t look away. She stood in between the two young masters of the Friedan family, without any sense of discord. Judging by the way she protects the calf, is she Seraphina? When Rosalie saw Waldron and Claudia, her face immediately turned pale, especially when Waldron said innocently, which made her feel guilty and flustered. That person has already died, even if Claudia accuses her, there is no evidence. Rosalie’s panicked and pounding heart quickly calmed down. “Mr. Waldron, what you’re saying… does it mean that Ms. Clayton has a grudge against you?” Rosalie’s anxious appearance did not escape Everett’s eyes, and fearlessly, he continued with the topic.

Rosalie was frightened by these words, her face turned pale, and she quickly clenched her teeth and looked at Claudia. Seeing that Claudia didn’t speak, Rosalie’s heart didn’t settle either. For some reason, she always felt that Waldron’s gaze toward her was off. Elva beside him was also pale with fright, her fingers digging into the wheelchair. She had been back for so long, but Ervin and Waldron did not come to pick her up. If it weren’t for Derrick who had been accompanying her, she would have almost thought that she had been abandoned by the Friedan family.
