Chapter 128 She Never Admit It

She only wanted to slowly take away Claudia’s control, but she didn’t expect Claudia to completely let

go.

It’s not acceptable to just quit like that. Some responsibilities still need to be shouldered by someone.

After realizing the strong relationship, a smile immediately appeared on Felicia’s face. “No one can be

missing from this project, especially not you. Don’t say that again next time. You have to make all the

decisions and sign for all our projects!”

After speaking, she handed the documents forward,

Claudia’s lips curled slightly as she casually flipped through the documents.

Felicia’s forehead twitched.

Claudia stamped the contract and said in a cold and stern voice, “After I sign this document, will all the

responsibility be mine if anything goes wrong in the future?”

Felicia was taken aback by how straightforward she spoke. Her smile turned awkward, and she quickly

explained, “How could you think that? Besides, we are watching over it. There’s no way anything could

go wrong. Our company’s projects have never had any issues.”

Claudia’s lips curled into a cold smile, her autumn-like eyes exuding a charming allure.

Felicia’s smile remained on her face, but deep down she cursed herself.

She thought that students like Claudia, who had recently graduated, would not understand the

intricacies of the terms in the contract. However, to her surprise, Claudia quickly discovered the hidden

agenda within it.

Claudia chuckled softly, her voice carrying a hint of coldness: “Miss Felicia, there are some clauses in

this contract that I don’t understand. I plan to have my brothers take a look as well. If they also think the

contract is fine, I have no objections…”

Upon hearing that she had to show it to her brothers, Felicia quickly snat ched the contract and

explained anxiously, “Actually, I don’t know how to read contracts either. I just take whatever the legal

department gives me. Since you think there might be a problem with the contract, I will have the legal

department double-check it.”

“No need.” Claudia said lightly, a beautiful sneer playing on her lips. “I already said, I won’t be involved

in this project. Coincidentally, I have a competition coming up, so I don’t have time to manage it.”

When Felicia heard that she was still planning to give up management, she started to worry.

If Claudia had just quit without doing anything, Thomas would have thought that she was not efficient in

her work. It would have spread to others, and they would have thought that she intentionally excluded

Seraphina, especially when the Friedan family brothers were supporting her.

She sat in the position of the president’s office at a young age, not to offend Ervin and his team.

“Ms. Friedan, you thought there was a problem with the contract, and I just mentioned that I would have

the legal department redraft it. But you just walked away without doing anything. Isn’t this a bit

childish?”

Child’s play, huh?” Claudia raised an eyebrow in response. “You all have already made arrangements

for the demolition site before coming to me for my signature. Aren’t I just a pawn?”

Still a potential scapegoat.

Felicia remained silent for a while before speaking, “Ms. Friedan, I’ll be honest with you. Mr. Friedan

has decided to hand over this project to Elva. It’s also because your current reputation is not very

good… Everyone knows about this, and it’s for you and for the Friedan family’s sake.”

For her own good?

Claudia laughed.

What reputation, what for the Friedan family, are all just excuses and pretexts.

Even though she never expected this home to truly bring her anything, it was not just a tool that could

be summoned and dismissed at will.

When the project was assigned to her initially, she didn’t want to take it. Later, she accepted it, but then

these people didn’t let her take it.

The southern side of the demolition area was clearly better than the eastern side in the past, not to

mention that she had also consulted professionals who unanimously advised her to choose the

southern part of the city. However, in the end, she still decided to settle in the Willow District, which

seemed to be deliberately opposing her.

“If it was really for my own good, for the good of the Friedan family, I shouldn’t have been involved in

this project,” she said, pursing her lips and sneering. “Anyway, I have no interest in this project or the

so- called shares of the Friedan family.”

“What a lack of interest!” Thomas walked over briskly and heard the

rest of the words clearly. “I know you’re dissatisfied with this arrangement, but it’s also a collective

decision of the company shareholders. I didn’t expect you to be so stubborn. If you really don’t want to

participate, it’s fine…”

After saying that, he turned to Felicia and said, “Since she doesn’t care, there’s no need to trouble her.

You and Elva can take care of this

matter.”

Felicia felt joy in her heart, but a hint of hesitation appeared on her face. “Seraphina is just angry at the

moment, I think we should wait until she calms down and reconsider…”

“No need to wait,” Claudia said as she pulled out the contract and pen from her hand and handed it to

her. “The contract you just asked me to sign, now it’s your turn to sign.”

When Felicia saw the contract handed to her, her heart ski pped a beat and her face instantly turned

pale.

“This… contract…

”

“How come? Is there something wrong with the contract?” Claudia raised an eyebrow.

Hearing her words, Thomas looked at her skeptically. Felicia

immediately took over the contract and said, “How could there be any problem? The legal department

has reviewed it.”

If she were to tell Thomas now that there was a problem with this contract, it would be like shooting

herself in the foot.

Finally, she mustered up the courage and signed the document with the person in charge. Deep down,

she made a decision and planned to have the legal department draft a new letter later.

Before she could even finish her thought, Claudia added, “Mr.

Upon hearing these words, Felicia trembled all over.

If only she had signed, she could have redrafted the contract. But since Thomas has also signed, she

can’t just make changes to the contract and ask him to sign again, right? How will she explain it when

he

asks? .

Did she say she didn’t understand the contract? Then Thomas would just tell her to get lost.

Felicia nervously looked at Thomas.

Thoma s’s face had turned as black as charcoal at that moment.

Actually, just now he was just talking out of anger. He didn’t expect Claudia to not care at all and even

asked him to follow up on this matter earlier.

Especially her way of addressing herself, Mr. Friedan, was she intentionally mocking him?

Thoma s’s eyes darkened, and his words were filled with reproach, “Seraphina, I am your father…”

“Call me Claudia,” Claudia interrupted Thomas without hesitation, her cold words devoid of any

emotion. “From beginning to end, I never admitted to being Seraphina.”

Upon hearing these words, Thoma s’s face darkened completely, “Are you blaming me for this?”

“There’s nothing to blame.” Claudia chuckled, “I didn’t care at all.”

She was already numb when Thomas and Derrick did those things.

People’s hearts are made of flesh, after experiencing disappointment too many times, they will no

longer have expectations.

The reason she has not severed ties with the Friedan family until now is because she values her

mother’s and Ervin’s and Waldron’s

reputation.

Thoma s’s pupils dilated when he heard her say that she had never paid any attention.

He didn’t expect that, considering the wealth and status of the Friedan family, there would still be

people who didn’t care.

“Do you even know what you’re saying?” Thoma s’s face was filled with anger, his eyes seemed like

they were about to shoot fire. “You only qualify for equity if you change your last name.

“I don’t care about the shares,” Claudia said calmly, her red lips curling slightly. “My grandmother raised

me for so many years, and I am her only descendant. I have no intention of changing my surname.”

Upon hearing that she had no intention of changing her last name, a fire ignited in Thoma s’s heart:

“Alright, alright, alright, Claudia! What a Claudia! What a refusal to change her last name!”
