See You Never, Mr. Lamont by Coral

Chapter 157 Jealousy

“Alright, you guys wait for me!” Rosalie knew that Dempsey wasn’t here, so it didn’t make sense for her to continue

pestering. “Hugh, don’t regret it!”

She glared at Hugh fiercely and then turned around and walked away.

Just at that moment, Arlene pretended to casually stretch out her leg, causing Rosalie to immediately take a

tumble.

“With a chuckle, the maids watching the show burst into laughter.”

Rosalie grimaced in pain, and tears of humiliation streamed down her

cheeks.

She clenched her teeth, stood up, and walked away without looking

back.

She would take revenge!

After Rosalie left, Hugh was somewhat absent-minded.

Arlene noticed his abnormality and did not continue to inquire.

She was able to return to the Clayton family, thanks to Rosalie’s efforts. The biggest difference between her and

Rosalie was that she was obedient.

Dempsey persuaded her to marry Hugh, and she did her best to please him. Besides, Hugh was an internet

celebrity and not bad-looking. Even if there were some scandals, who hasn’t had a girlfriend before?

She was clear-headed and knew that this was the only way back to the

Clayton family. She had to seize it.

“Hugh, we are getting engaged next week, and I would like to invite Ms. Lloyd over,” she gently tugged at Hugh’s

sleeve, her voice tender.

“Why call her over?” Hugh’s body tensed, and a hint of coldness appeared on his handsome face.

Arlene was chilled by his cold expression.

These days, Hugh has left her with the impression of being gentle, nowhere near being fierce.

Hugh saw Arlene looking frightened, he restrained his coldness and smiled, saying, “She doesn’t get along with your

family, the Clayton family. Let’s not invite her to our engagement, I have a bad impression of her.”

He remembered that Claudia had tricked him multiple times and knew about his relationship with the caregiver.

The invisible bomb that he feared the most was Claudia.

Fortunately, she severed ties with the Friedan family and became associated with the Clayton family. Although

Claudia alone was not to be feared, it did not mean that he was willing to approach this woman voluntarily.

Arlene, however, disagreed: “She was not at odds with the Clayton family, but with Rosalie.”

She had a long-term perspective. Although Claudia had severed ties with the Friedan family, she was, after all,

Edmond’s ex-wife.

Before the Lamont family, there was the Friedan family. This person had to win her over. Besides, the enemy of my

enemy is my friend. If

she became friends with Claudia, it would also benefit her own

position.

Hugh saw that she had made up her mind, with a furrowed brow, wanting to say something, but then he saw Mrs.

Zhang bringing

breakfast.

“Let’s have breakfast first, I made all of this,” Arlene said, turning toward the dining table.

Hugh saw the situation and had no choice but to give up.

Wyvernport, Hawk Heights, sunny and breezy.

A Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly drove into the parking lot, with people occasionally exclaiming and taking photos.

Several people sitting in the car had long been accustomed to it. In the exclusive elevator, Elva sat in a wheelchair,

being pushed by a young maid.

This is a maid specially hired by the Friedan family for her. She has already had an amputation and has been fitted

with a prosthetic limb, but she still needs some time to recover before she can walk like a normal person.

Thomas stood with Ervin, surrounding her like her protectors.

Looking at herself in the mirror inside the elevator, Elva clenched her fingers tightly, for a moment thinking she had

returned to the past.

In the past, she used to be adored by the Friedan family, but now…

“Here we are.” As the elevator doors opened, Waldron rushed out like a gust of wind.

Ervin smiled apologetically, following closely behind.

Only Thomas and Derrick were still standing by Elva’s side.

The door was open, and when Thomas and his friends walked in, Waldron and Ervin were already sitting on the

balcony, starting to enjoy their tea.

Ever since Elva entered the door, her gaze wandered around. Such a flat in Wyvernport would cost at least tens of

millions.

“I envy my sister so much. Ervin hasn’t even bought me a house after all these years!”

As soon as Elva spoke, Claudia couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Derrick chuckled and said, “If you like it, Derrick will also give you a set next time.”

Waldron snorted twice and sarcastically said, “Then why don’t you also give Claudia a set?”

Derrick frowned, “Didn’t you guys give it to her?”

The implicit meaning is that there was no intention to give Claudia a gift.

Waldron sneered a few times in anger and glanced at Elva sideways, saying, “This house was not given by us, it was

given by Horace.”

He didn’t intend to hide it from Claudia, anyway she would know sooner or later.

When Elva heard that it was from Horace, her face froze and her voice trembled slightly, “Why did Horace send it

to her?”

“Of course, it was a token of love!” Waldron’s lips curled up.

Elva’s face instantly turned pale.

Her liking for Horace was no secret to her family a long time ago, but Horace’s attitude was very clear. Even though

Claudia had already cut ties with the Friedan family, he still chose Claudia. He even feared that she would have

nowhere to live, so he gave her a house!

Jealousy, sadness, and pain were like little insects, crazily gnawing at her.

Waldron coldly stared at Derrick, who had the same frozen expression on his face. “What’s with that expression of

yours? Is it too much to ask for you to give Claudia a house, considering she’s your own sister?”

Derrick pursed his lips and remained silent.

Biological sisters and adopted sisters, they have different names and their attitudes should also be completely

different.

Thinking about how Elva has taken over the family project now, while Claudia has given up her shares, Derrick

cleared his throat and said, “It’s not too much, just…..

“I didn’t need it,” Claudia refused coldly, “I don’t want everything that people give me.”

The implicit meaning is that even if Derrick were to give it, she would not want it.

Her words darkened Derrick’s face, and a hint of coldness pursed his thin lips.

Alright, we are all family, stop arguing and let’s have dinner first,” Thomas said with a gloomy face.

He thought Claudia would have a hard time outside and had to give in to him, but he didn’t expect someone would

give her a house.

Seeing her living in such a comfortable house, Thomas couldn’t help

but have a better impression of Horace.

This kid didn’t come for Claudia’s identity.

The dishes on the wooden table were all home-cooked meals, but the aroma was already wafting, the colors were

beautiful, and they looked appetizing.

As everyone took their seats and prepared to start, Claudia whispered, “Wait a moment.”

Waldron’s hand holding the fork paused for a moment, and then he put it down and asked loudly, “Sister, just say

what you want to say. We are family, no need to be polite.”

Waldron’s joyful attitude left Thomas and Elva with numerous questions in their minds.

“Is there any good news to announce?” Elva put down her fork and touched the laxative in her pocket, smiling

softly.

Thomas had already been wary of Claudia, but she didn’t mind adding fuel to the fire.

As long as this meal was eaten, everyone’s attitude toward Claudia would only worsen.

Claudia looked at Elva’s impatient appearance, her crimson lips slightly curved, exuding an irresistible charm.

She was wearing a simple shirt, which made her look even more elegant and capable under the sunlight. There was

a hint of charm and confidence in her, making it hard for people to look away.

“Of course, there was good news, and this good news was also related to my younger sister.”

Elva’s eyelids twitched at the gentler tone of her voice.

Claudia had a bad feeling when her sister called her “sister” just like she always did, not with much sincerity but

rather to mock her.

Now, Claudia calling her sister is definitely not a good thing.

Claudia smiled, glanced at Elva, and then took out a box from under the table.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Claudia opened the box,

revealing a dilapidated phone, but upon closer inspection, it could be recognized as Emily’s.

“Da mn it, Mom’s phone got fixed. You tell me, isn’t this good news?”
