Chapter 13 6 His Loss of Control

Elva’s face turned pale and then red.

The recording incident has always been Emily’s heartache and has also become her biggest loophole

for excuses.

Upon hearing Laverne’s statement that her phone was destroyed, Elva remained calm and composed.

She said, “I don’t know about the recording, and even if it is a genuine recording or accidentally

pressed, it’s hard to say. Until there is evidence, please refrain from making baseless accusations.”

Claudia sneered in silence, not telling her that her phone had been found at the foot of the mountain.

Although the phone is severely damaged now, it can still be repaired.

The atmosphere was tense, but Elva was the first to compromise: “I heard that you had a fight with Dad

and even gave up on the project. This project is really important. As long as you’re willing, we can work

together to make our family business bigger and stronger.”

Claudia sneered, “With Ervin supporting the family business, it can grow and thrive even without you

and me.”

Elva smiled indifferently and said softly, “But this project is different. I really wanted to bring you along.

Since you’re not willing, forget it.”

“Now our family is being closely watched by many forces. If this project doesn’t go well, it’s not just a

matter of reputation loss, but the entire Friedan family might be implicated.”

Claudia pursed her lips, her brow furrowed.

Elva glanced at her and smirked, “So this time my friend took action, and she is no ordinary person.”

Claudia didn’t want to listen to her nonsense anymore and was just about to get up and leave when

Elva said, “Do you know about Enigma?”

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, she saw surprise on Claudia’s face.

Elva proudly lifted her chin.

She knew that everyone in Adron was familiar with this organization, and it had even trended a few

times. However, it had always been just a legend, and very few people had actually come into contact

with it.

Only those in the upper circle knew that this organization truly existed and could take on various tasks,

as long as they did not involve loss of life or criminal activities. They were able to accept and

successfully complete almost all tasks.

And not only could she interact with the people inside, but she could also become friends with them.

This is something that many people wouldn’t even dare to imagine, because the people inside this

Enigma rarely have direct contact with the outside world or reveal their identities.

“I knew a team leader in this Enigma,” Elva smiled confidently, “With her help, this project will definitely

not have any issues. I’m just kindly advising you, if you don’t want to, it’s fine, I won’t force you.”

Elva was confident, and Claudia knew that she would definitely want to join this matter.

Even Felicia was moved, she couldn’t believe that Claudia was really indifferent to such matters.

“Weren’t you going to participate in the jewelry design competition? I heard that the design team at

Enigma is also very talented. I can put in a good word for you and maybe even get you a chance to

intern there.”

Hearing this, Claudia couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Why are you laughing?” Elva’s face darkened. “Don’t you believe me?”

“No, I believe.”

She originally thought Elva was bragging, but when she heard her say that the internal design team

was amazing, she guessed that she was not lying.

The design team in Enigma was indeed impressive, as it was personally led by her and also one of the

main sources of Enigma’s profits.

Elva, this friend, might really be someone from Enigma.

But it was a great taboo in Enigma to dare to contact the government in the name of Enigma.

When she took over Enigma, she continued to uphold this set of rules. Elva, a friend of hers, committed

a major taboo within Enigma.

Claudia raised her red lips and a smile that didn’t reach her eyes, “May I ask, what’s the name of your

friend?”

There are many people in Enigma, she may not remember each one of them, but once she finds the

name, it is easy to find out who that person is.

“Why do you ask for her name?” Elva asked suspiciously, “Do you think you can recognize her just by

knowing her name?”

Claudia smiled and said nothing.

This time, Elva was more cautious and did not reveal the name.

Claudia expressed disinterest in equity and didn’t mind spreading some genuine goodwill, but this

didn’t include introducing her own resources to others.

“It’s useless even if I tell you her name,” Elva looked at her contemptuously. “If you’re trying to get to

know her through me, I advise you to give up, because if it weren’t for me saving her life, our

relationship wouldn’t be this good.

”

“Thank you so much for that. I will consider what you just said,” he said. Without waiting for Elva to say

anything else, he immediately walked out of the ward.

She held her phone, about to ask Warren to investigate this person, when she glanced up and saw

Edmond standing in front of her.

He came specifically to find her.

“I need to talk to you.” He got straight to the point as he opened the door.

Claudia instinctively took a step back, thinking about Rosalie’s

situation, and speculated that he must be looking for her for something bad.

“I was busy,” she said as she turned around to leave, but Edmond grabbed her wrist.

Claudia struggled for a moment, seeing the constant flow of people in the hospital and fearing it would

cause further impact. She whispered softly, “Let go, can’t I go with you?”

She was afraid of hurting the baby inside her during the argument.

Edmond squeezed her wrist for a moment, as if just realizing, he immediately let go of her hand as if it

had been burned.

He squinted his eyes and spoke in a deep voice devoid of any emotion, “I want to ask you a few

questions.”

Claudia looked up and saw that his eyes were slightly red, as if he had been suppressing something.

There were still medicine patches on his face, which were left to save her.

Claudia’s heart suddenly softened, and she h oars ely said, “Okay, I also have some questions to ask

you.”

The two of them went downstairs together. Just as they walked out of the hospital, a man wearing

sunglasses and a mask stopped them.

Looking at the newcomer, Claudia was slightly startled.

“Why didn’t you look for me?”

It was Pedro.

He was fully armed, but his facial features and contours were still vaguely visible, exuding a striking

handsomeness.

With a height of 1.85 meters, he was extremely thin yet had a muscular physique, which made him look

very stylish in his long down jacket.

He seemed to not have noticed Edmond beside him, staring at her intently.

“Why Warren, not me?”

Pedro’s voice trembled, like broken feathers, ready to sca tter at any

moment.

Claudia looked at him nervously, pursing her lips in silence.

Today Pedro, his emotions clearly out of control, couldn’t even distinguish the occasion and actually

questioned her in such a place.

People were coming and going here, and even Edmond was nearby.

According to Pedro’s personality, he should not have made mistakes in such matters.

Over the years, she did indeed only seek Pedro for help and never approached anyone else. However,

since the last incident occurred, she hoped that both Pedro and herself could calm down and never

even considered anyone else.

She didn’t expect this matter to have such a big impact on Pedro.

“Looking for you or looking for him is the same. Whatever it is, let’s talk about it next time. Right now, I

am with Edmond…”

Before she finished speaking, Pedro reached out his arm and hugged her tightly.

Claudia was startled, her eyes widened, and she even forgot to push him away.

Pedro held her in his arms, tears streaming down his face behind the sunglasses, “I’m sorry…”
