Chapter 166 Give Up on Her
Arlene did it on purpose.
Anyway, Rosalie couldnât bring anything to the Clayton family. She came this time to improve her
relationship with the Friedan family and couldnât let this little mouse droppings ruin it.
âSister, donât say a word if you donât understand anything, otherwise people will think our family is
uncultured,â Rosalie blurted out word by word from between her teeth.
Everyone then turned to Arlene. Previously, when Dempsey came in, their attention was all on Rosalie,
and they didnât notice that Dempsey had brought another person along.
Since Rosalie called her sister, then this must be Dempseyâs illegitimate daughter, Arlene, right?
Arlene was also heard of by them. The scandal of the internet celebrities Rosalie and Hugh was widely
spread, and unexpectedly, Dempseyâs illegitimate daughter took the lead.
Such an obvious white knight, it made everyone sympathize with
Arlene.
âActually, everyone knew that you were being evasive, but there was no evidence. You could only
dance on the edge of the law. However, our family cannot have such a precedent,â she said, looking at
Dempsey. âDad, we need to take a stance.â
Arlene reminded openly.
With her reminder, Dempsey also realized that he had to take sides.

Rosalie argued that there was no problem, but if he didnât show an attitude, the Friedan family might
blame the Clayton family in the future when the truth came out.
At the thought of Thoma sâs cold remark ânot lacking moneyâ just now, Dempsey shivered all over.
Although the Clayton family had some status in Wyvernport, compared to the Friedan family, they were
nothing. If Thomas were to destroy the entire Clayton Group in a fit of anger, it would be a matter of
minutes.
Although Thomas was confused in his emotions, he was very clear in his business and political affairs.
Moreover, he was extremely resourceful, otherwise he wouldnât have expanded the Friedan familyâs
business empire like this.
Dempsey squinted his eyes and glanced at Rosalie, his daughter whom he had nurtured for many
years, but unfortunately had to let go.
He walked up to Rosalie and said to her, âAnything you said today has nothing to do with the Clayton
family. If what Thomas said is true, you should turn yourself in, and I can still consider you my daughter.
But if you did it and refuse to admit your mistake, then I will have no daughter.â
As soon as Dempsey finished speaking, Rosalieâs heart sank and her face turned terrifyingly pale.
She knew that once Dempsey said those words, she was no longer his daughter.
Dempsey was even colder than her, and when it came to crucial
moments, she would give up without hesitation, even if it meant giving up on her own daughter.
Thomas had a cold expression on his face as he said to the security guard, âKick them out, the Friedan
family doesnât welcome them.â

Rosalie and Dempsey were being escorted away by security, but Arlene had taken out a few invitations
from her bag before this and quickly walked over to Claudia, handing them to her.
âMs. Lloyd, I have always liked your personality. In a couple of days, Hugh and I are having our
engagement party, and I hope you can come and join us.â
Ignoring the presence of so many people in the Friedan family, she went straight for her.
This Arlene was quite interesting.
With a delighted smile on her face, Claudia raised her eyebrows and calmly accepted the invitation in
front of everyone, saying, âI will definitely go.â
Hugh, this person, she had no intention of letting go either, so she decided to go and watch a play.
Seeing her accept the invitation, Arlene breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly.
Afterwards, without waiting for the security guard to arrive, he turned around and left on his own
accord.
Rosalie saw Arlene give Claudia an invitation card, and she was so angry that her whole body
trembled. This little bit ch, she must be deliberately disgusting her today!
After the Clayton family left, Thomas looked at Elva with a gloomy and dim expression.
Elva slumped onto the chair, wearing a smile of despair on her face.
âSend her to the nursing home, and from now on⦠never let her appear again,â Thoma sâs words fell,
shocking everyone.
The old courtyard was the Friedan familyâs old house, located in the mountains of the suburbs.
Although the environment was good, it was desolate and isolated from the world.
Elva didnât say anything to refute, her mouth moved slightly, but in the end, she kept quiet. She knew
that saying anything now would only anger Thomas.
She waited patiently, perhaps there was still a chance.
âThat projectâ¦â Derrick began, noticing everyoneâs gaze on him, he couldnât help but feel
embarrassed. âI didnât mean anything else, I just think itâs not good to air our dirty laundry and
constantly change personnel for the project.â
Frequent changes of project managers in the past were not good.
Thomas looked at Claudia, his eyes darkened.
The fortune tellerâs words echoed in Thoma sâs ears, and he furrowed his brow.
Before he could speak, Claudia quickly said, âLetâs leave this matter to Ervin. After all, he is the heir of
the Friedan family, and I have no objections to giving it to him or anyone else.â
Regardless of whether Thomas is willing or not, she does not want to have any involvement with this
project anymore.
Upon hearing her words, Thoma sâs expression finally improved a bit.
Anyway, what the fortune teller said still planted a thorn in his heart.
âThen let Elva handle this matter on the surface, but privately, let Ervin take over.â
Hand it over to Ervin, he is also at ease.

The Friedan familyâs farce came to an end, and it was getting dark. Claudia decided to leave, and
Derrick walked up to her and said, âItâs dark outside, let me walk you home.
Claudia saw him and furrowed her brows. Before she could refuse, Waldron casually walked over and
said, âShe has other brothers, Claudia. Let me give you a ride.â
The atmosphere became tense.
Claudia glanced at Derrick indifferently, showing no emotions.
She knew Derrick wanted to say something to her privately.
âMr. Derrick, if itâs an apology, then forget it. I donât mind. Waldron, give me a ride. There are some
things I still need to talk to you about.â
The title of Mr. Derrick made Derrickâs face quickly turn cold.
She never wanted to call him brother. She didnât recognize him as her brother, just like she didnâtâ
recognize her father.
He did want to apologize, after all he had done so much to hurt her.
Considering her current attitude, it is evident that she did not accept it and did not care anymore.
Derrick tightened his lips and hesitantly said, âI wanted to ask, have you found a lawyer for your lawsuit
with Rosalie? If not⦠Iâ¦â
Waldron glanced at him and joked, âWhat? Do you want to fight this case for Claudia?â
Although he did not approve of Derrickâs foolish behavior, in terms of work, Derrick indeed had his
merits. He won several almost impossible lawsuits and made a name for himself in the legal
profession.
Derrick pursed his lips and remained silent, staring fixedly at Claudia.
He knew that Claudia had refused the inheritance rights of the Friedan family and was also struggling
in the Lamont family, fighting legal battles that consumed manpower and financial resources.
If Claudia needed, he was willing to fight for her and had confidence in winning.
Claudia suddenly remembered that Derrick studied law.
She remained silent for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter, her voice light and ethereal,
devoid of much emotion. âYou want to fight this lawsuit for Elva, donât you?â
