Chapter 13 The Friedan Family Is Rich
It was smoky, and no one could see the way
Everyone was running out.
If Edmond wasn’t afraid of fire, he would be able to run out. However, he was. There was a fire, so it
was hard for him to escape.
Edmond would die!
Everyone was running out. No one realized that there was a guy in there who might not be able to
escape.
Claudia had been married to Edmond for three years. He didn’t love her, but she lived a comfortable life
with him. He had given her a lot of help at work.
She hated him, but she didn’t want him to die.
Eleanor’s matter wasn’t over. If he died, he would never know mhai kind of a person Rosalie was.
No! Claudia wanted him to be alive. He couldn’t die like this.
Claudia wanted him to see that Rosalie was a villain

Edmond smelt the smoke, which he was familiar with. He stood at the door, and he didn’t move. Then,
he saw a tall person running in
That person held Edmond’s head in anxiety
“Edmond!”
That person was dragging him out.
Edmond closed his eyes and said a name with a h oa rse voice,
Seeing Edmond like this, Claudia frowned deeply.
Edmond was fine, but he couldn’t move. Sure enough, fire was his weakness.
Claudia knew that Edmond had never entered the kitchen before. Edmond would stay away from
anything that might have something to do with fire.
Claudia was curious, but she didn’t ask him. She didn’t want to hurt hìm.
Edmond closed his eyes, but he was trembling all over.
Tears were all over Claudia’s face because of the smoke.
Claudia gritted her teeth and dragged him out.
Claudia used all her strength to drag him from the room to the stairs step by step.
“Edmond, hang in there!” she coughed.

will be mine.”
Edmond moved his eyelids slightly.
Claudia saw that her method was working, so she kept it going. “Then I will take your money to live a
comfortable life and keep a young
man.”
She said quickly and covered her mouth with a towel.

Edmond finally opened his eyes and coughed, saying, “How dare you!”
Claudia bit her red lips. It seemed that he cared about her.
So, it wasn’t a serious matter that he couldn’t move in a fire. Once she angered him, he could move.
She patted his legs. “Can you stand up?”
Edmond felt his legs were warm. He frowned and tried to move his legs, but he failed.
He pushed her away and said in a low voice, “Go! Don’t worry about me.’
Claudia looked toward the door. The ground floor was smoky. She couldn’t even see the door, so it was
impossible for them to escape.
The furniture was blocking the way out.
“We can’t get out.” Claudia smiled in despair. “Edmond, am I going to die with you?
“I shouldn’t have helped you.”
Hearing her mocking voice, Edmond opened his eyes.
His eyes turned red. He still looked cold, but there were tears in his
eyes.
Her words were sarcastic, but she wasn’t scared at all.
Claudia was beautiful. It was just that she kept a low profile, so few people realized that she was so
beautiful.
Edmond had never seen through her. He thought that she was timid, so he didn’t expect her to come to
save him.

He remembered that she was outside and didn’t have to come back.
Since that thing, he had been scared of fire. He didn’t feel hot in the fire. Instead, he felt cold. Doctors
said that it was a psychological problem. Maybe one day, Edmond would be fine. Maybe he would
never be fine.
Claudia’s showing up gave him hope and warmth.
Sirens were blaring, and firefighters were coming.
Edmond didn’t know where he got the strength again. He stood up again with her help.
He couldn’t let her die there.
Edmond tried to overcome the fear in his heart and walked toward the door with difficulty
When Claudia heaved a sigh of relief, she heard a big noise coming from the ceiling. A crystal
chandelier was falling.
In the fire, the crystal chandelier was hot. If it hit her, it would hurt a lot.
Edmond hurriedly held her in his arms. He called out in pain and didn’t let her get hurt.
It felt warm and safe in Edmond’s arms.
“Edmond!”
It was quiet.
Suddenly, Claudia felt that Edmond was falling.
“Edmond, hang in there!” Claudia helped him up and saw that his eyes

were closed. It seemed that he had passed out.
She dragged him toward the door. Her face was covered with sweat. It was smoky, so she couldn’t see
the way out. But she only had one goal, which was to take Edmond out.
Not long after, the dark room was finally lit up.
Someone came in.
“There are people here! They are still alive!”
“Help!”

Claudia smiled.
They were safe.
Claudia couldn’t describe her feelings. She was so tired that she closed
her eyes.
It was dark again.
In her dream, Edmond was her sponsor when she was in university. After she graduated, she won a
big prize overseas with the jewelry she designed. She rejected the offer from a famous foreign jewelry
company and became a designer at the Lamont Group.
At that time, the Lamont Group’s design was ordinary. After she entered the company, everyone looked
down on her, but Edmond helped her a lot. Claudia was so capable that she brought the design
department to a new level.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen she woke up, it was morning. No one was around. Only a nurse was giving her a checkup.

114 Wonders
Claudia sat up and said to the nurse. “I want to leave,”
The doctors said that she needed to stay in the hospital, but Claudia didn’t want to because she felt
that she was fine.
She didn’t feel well in the hospital. She couldn’t forget about her grandmother.
The police were still investigating why the Lamont’s manor was on fire.
Edmond was fine, but he was still in a coma. Rosalie stayed by his side, and even the news said that
Rosalie saved Edmond’s life.
Claudia didn’t want to see the news, so she turned off her phone and took a taxi to the Friedan’s
manor.
The Friedan’s manor was large. It took her half an hour to walk from the gate to the residential area.
The Lamont family also had a manor, but it was away from the city, and it wasn’t so large:
The Friedan family was indeed wealthy.
Claudia thought of Seraphina Friedan, who was missing. She couldn’t help but be jealous. Such a
wealthy family would do anything to find the missing kid. However, Claudia felt that she was
abandoned.
She was weak. She put herself together and called Waldron.
“Are you here?”
Waldron saw the news, so he said in a serious tone, “Didn’t I tell you not to come?”
“I’m fine. Since I agreed to come, I must keep my word.”
She kept her word, so she wanted him to do the same.
Waldron didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Don’t worry. I will keep my promise. Never mind. Since
you are here, stay where you are. I’ll come to you.”
“Alright!”
After hanging up, Claudia stayed there to wait for him.
A few ser vants hurriedly came toward her.
It seemed that they were the Friedan family’s . They were looking for someone in a hurry.
“Mrs. Friedan is missing. Find her!”
“It’s such a big manor. Where is she? If Mr. Friedan knows, we are dead.”
Mrs. Friedan?
Claudia was slightly stunned. She looked over.
