Chapter 163 All Gone
âWas it you who caused the Waldron car accident?â
âI never expected that the person we worked so hard to raise would turn out to be an ungrateful
backstabber, who even went on to harm my own child!â
âDid Waldron treat you badly? Why did you want to harm him?â
âNo, I didnât want to harm him either!â Elva shouted in excitement. âI didnât want toâ¦â
Immediately, a sobbing voice came from the phone, âI just didnât want him to recognize Seraphina,
thatâs all. I never intended to harm him, I really didnât want to harm himâ¦â
âElva, for the sake of our mother-daughter relationship, I hope you will turn yourself in. Mom hopes you
can realize your mistakes and take responsibility for the wrongs you have doneâ¦â
Immediately, there was a loud âbangâ as the sound of the vase shattering interrupted her words.
The recording on the mobile phone abruptly stopped.
The atmosphere was dead silent, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
âWho did it?â Thomas stormed toward Elva, his anger boiling over. âWas it you or Rosalie? Speak up!â
Elvaâs face turned pale and her whole body trembled.
Thomas didnât believe her anymore!
âIt wasnât me, Daddyâ¦â
âDonât call me daddy!â Thoma sâs face turned cold, and the doting expression that was usually present
became extremely indifferent.
Elva hunched her body, burying her head deeply.
She knew that it was useless to say anything at this moment.
Thomas no longer believed her, and neither did anyone in the Friedan family!
Her nose felt sour, but she couldnât shed a tear. All her tears had dried up on that day.
Gone were her hopes, her futureâ¦
All goneâ¦
âWhy, Elva⦠why did you harm Waldron?â
It took Derrick a long time to find his voice again. He never expected that Elva was the one who
harmed Waldron.
Even if Waldron wanted to recognize Seraphina, it would still be his freedom. Even if she wanted to
stop him, she should not resort to killing to silence him!
He could tolerate everything about her because she was his sister, but this did not include condoning
her murder or condoning her crimes.
He was a lawyer and had a deep understanding of the bottom line of the law. Human life could not be
touched, and the lives of his loved ones could never be touched either.
âBefore Seraphina came back, we all treated you like a sister. How could you⦠do such a thing?â
Derrick muttered to himself, as if a hopeful person suddenly lost faith.
Thinking about all the things Elva had done and then remembering the deleted recording, Derrickâs
eyes turned red.
Seraphina cared for Ervin and Waldron in the past. She was afraid that Elva would be lonely, so she
firmly stood by her side. But who exactly did he stand for in the end?
âYou disappointed me so muchâ¦â
He choked back tears, shook his head, turned away, and refused to look at Elvaâs pleading expression.
Elva gritted her teeth and looked at Waldron, saying, âIâm sorry, Waldron. At first, I just wanted to stop
you from getting the appraisal results, but I didnât expect that Rosalieâs way of stopping you would be to
kill you.â
âWhen I found out, you were already in the hospital⦠And the
incident with mom getting hurt, it was also Rosalie. She was afraid that I would actually turn myself in,
so she smashed mom with a vase and threatened me, saying that if I told anyone, the next one to be
smashed would be me.â
âWhat I am saying now, every word is true, if I lie, let thunder strikeâ¦
âEnough.â Waldron interrupted her coldly, âNo one believes your oath. According to you, all these things
were done by Rosalie, and you were just-forced to become her accomplice?â
Elva choked and nodded, âYes, it was because of my selfishness, my fear, that I willingly became her
accomplice.â
âBring Ms. Clayton over here,â Thomas said to the person on the
phone, suppressing his anger. âI want to see for myself if what youâre saying is true!â
This incident not only affected the Friedan family, but it had an even greater impact on him.
If it werenât for this recording, he would never have believed that Elva could do such a thing.
âAre you so wary of Seraphina? In just a month, I didnât expect you to become so malicious.â Thomas
now regrets handing the project over to her. Elva prospered under them, and Seraphina crushed them.
He sees that both of these daughters are here to crush him!â
âIt didnât happen in just a month, it has always been like this,â Ervin looked at Elva. âThat fake
Seraphina was also planned by you, from creating her background to making us believe that she was
Seraphina, it was all premeditated by you, just to prevent the real Seraphina from coming back.â
Thomas immediately thought of the short-haired foreign student he had met before, and he recalled his
previous excitement. But when he heard Ervinâs explanation, it felt like he had been slapped hard.
âYes,â Elva said, her face ashen, with no intention of arguing further.
Since Ervin mentioned it, he must have found something.
She didnât intend to struggle anymore. It was her who did it and she would admit it. If it wasnât her who
did it, the other woman should also be punished.
Would Rosalie be furious if she found out that everything was revealed?
At this thought, Elva inexplicably felt a slight thrill
The words Elva` admitted exploded in Thoma sâs heart like a heavy bomb.
He was already an old man, but he was unexpectedly being toyed around by his own adopted
daughter!
His heart ski pped a beat, and he turned pale as he covered his chest.
âThomas! Thomas, whatâs wrong with you!â Emily was the first to notice his abnormality and quickly
supported him.
Thomas shook his head, patted her hand, opened his mouth, but no words came out, and tears flowed
out first.
Shame!
This was the biggest shame in his glorious life.
Over the years, he had been a powerful figure in the business world, always managing to escape any
threats. However, to his surprise, in the end, he was betrayed by his own family.
Seeing Thomas like this, Emily was also very upset.
She wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and tightly held his hand.
âThomasâ¦â

After Rosalie left the Clayton family, she didnât go far. Instead, she stayed close, squatting at the
doorstep, waiting for Dempsey to return.
She wanted to have a good talk with her dad, Arlene absolutely couldnât stay in the Clayton family.

If it really didnât work out, she was also willing to marry Hugh. After all, her father had raised her for so
many years, he definitely wouldnât just give up on her like that.
When Rosalie saw the familiar luxury car driving in, she quickly rushed up and stood in front of the car.
The driver slammed on the brakes, causing Dempseyâs body to lurch forward and his head to hit the
backrest of the front seat.
âWhatâs going on!â Dempseyâs anger reached its peak after being mocked by the shareholders all
afternoon after the meeting. âIf you canât drive, then donât drive!â
The driver trembled and said, âMr. Clayton, it is Ms. Clayton.â
Rosalie rushed over and tapped on the car window.
Dempseyâs face darkened as he said to the driver, âDrive.â
Rosalie watched helplessly as the car drove forward, without the windows moving at all.
âDaddy! Wait for me!â
Rosalie gritted her teeth and closely followed.
After a while, Dempseyâs car had already arrived at the entrance of the villa. As soon as he got out of
the car, the security guard approached him and said, âMr. Clayton, someone from the Friedan family
has arrived, right at the entrance.â
âThe Friedan family?â Dempsey thought about the fragile relationship between the Friedan family and
the present, the mockery of those old fossils at the meeting seemed to echo in his ears.
It was all Rosalieâs fault!

If she hadnât acted recklessly, the relationship between the Clayton family and the Friedan family
wouldnât have been so bad, and he wouldnât have been scolded at every board meeting.
âWhat did the Friedan family come over for?â
The security guard saw Rosalie chasing after him and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He said to
Dempsey, âMr. Friedan called a car to pick up Ms. Clayton and take her for afternoon tea.â
Have you had afternoon tea?
When did Rosalieâs relationship with the Friedan family become good enough to have afternoon tea
together?
Dempseyâs eyes were deep and mysterious, filled with calculations. âCoincidentally, I also had free time
in the afternoon, so I went with Rosalie.â
