Chapter 164: Chapter 167

Chapter 167 Serves You Right

Elva and Rosalie had just had a falling out, and he immediately suggested taking the matter to court.

Why didn’t he say it earlier or later, but chose to say it at this particular moment?

Upon hearing these words, Derrick’s face slightly stiffened, “No, I just hope you win.”

“Thank you, but no need. I will hire a good lawyer myself, and if necessary, I will handle it on my own.” I

have all the evidence, just waiting for the right opportunity.”

Even if Rosalie couldn’t be sentenced to death, she would still have to

stay in there for at least a dozen years.

She wanted Rosalie to pay with her life, but in the end, it would still depend on what kind of punishment

the law would give Rosalie.

She used to have a bad temper before, but after these recent events, she has become much calmer.

“Go by yourself?” Derrick furrowed his brow. “Don’t underestimate the complexity of the lawsuit. Even if

Rosalie is at fault, you might still lose the case if you don’t hire a good lawyer.”

Lawyers only defend their employers, and no one can guarantee the final outcome.

“Claudia’s point is that she would rather go herself than let you go.” Waldron gave him a cold glance

and poured a bucket of cold water, laughing at Claudia, “Let me take you back, don’t pay attention to

this fool.’

Claudia nodded and, without even looking at Derrick, she took the lead and stepped out of the door.

Waldron smirked and looked at Derrick triumphantly, “Serves you right! Now you’ve tasted the bitter

consequences!”

Good family members who don’t help, go help strangers, and then expect forgiveness, there is no such

good thing.

After Waldron and Claudia left, Derrick stood in the same spot for a long time

He knew that what he had done would not be easily forgiven. He didn’t expect Claudia to forgive him

for what he had done, he only hoped that she would no longer despise him.

Elva returned to her room, sat on the wheelchair, and stared at the mountain view outside the window,

lost in thought.

The doorbell rang, and she remained motionless.

The person pushed open the door.

“Elva…”

Upon hearing his voice, Elva’s eyes turned red and tears instantly streamed down her face.

“Derrick…” she choked, looking at Derrick, “I’m sorry.”

The person she felt most sorry for was Derrick.

“I’m sorry, Derrick. I disappointed you.”

Derrick watched her from a distance and did not approach.

He knew that while Rosalie was the one who instigated this matter, it wouldn’t have reached this point if

Elva herself didn’t have ulterior

motives.

“I went back to the old house to reflect… “Derrick’s expression was complicated, and his tone was flat.

“I will arrange good people over there, and the environment won’t be worse than here. After your

surgery, take good care of yourself and recuperate there.”

“When you recover from your injury, if Dad’s anger subsides, I will have him bring you back.”

The premise is that Thomas was really able to calm down.

And she also reflected thoroughly.

Upon hearing these words, Elva covered her face and cried in remorse, “Derrick, can we never go back

to how things were before? I have lost Ervin and Waldron, and now am I going to lose you too?”

As soon as Elva thought about losing everything she once had, she felt a pain so intense that she

couldn’t breathe.

Derrick looked at her, his voice h oa rse, “I had said before, don’t hurt family.”

Elva choked up, her eyes turned red like a rabbit’s eyes.

Yes, Derrick did say that he would help her no matter what she did, but it does not include hurting

family members.

But she was unwilling, really unwilling.

She slid past and grabbed Derrick urgently, saying, “Derrick, if it weren’t for Seraphina coming back, I

wouldn’t have turned out like this!”

“I know,” Derrick pushed her hand away, shaking his head in disappointment. “I had stood by your side,

forsaking my own sister to defend you. But what did you do? You joined forces with outsiders to harm

our loved ones.”

“Sorry Elva, I couldn’t possibly be enemies with all of my relatives.”

He was Elva’s brother, but he was also Emily’s son and Waldron’s brother.

Elva’s current outcome is also related to him, it is his indulgence, his constant tolerance, that made

Elva unable to see the consequences of doing wrong.

All he can do now is to arrange the environment of the old house for her. As for the rest, he couldn’t do

it, nor could he do it.

Watching Derrick’s departing figure, Elva wiped away the tears from her face, gritted her teeth, and a

hint of fierceness appeared in her eyes.

She had already lost her legs and couldn’t lose any more.

Since Derrick didn’t help her, she had to help herself.

She took out her phone and dialed a number.

This is Enigma’s friend’s phone number, only her own mobile phone can make calls to it. Even if other

people know the number and try to call, it will be an invalid number. It is said to be one of the secrets

within their organization.

Thinking of her good friend, Elva had a big smile on her face.

It doesn’t matter that her older brother didn’t help her, she still has a good best friend.

“Hello, Eileen, it’s me,” Elva choked, “I had an accident and I need

your help.”

**

Claudia and Waldron had just arrived at Hawk Heights when a car drove up and intercepted them.

“Ms. Lloyd…” the car door opened, revealing the young face of the assistant. “Mr. Lamont sent me to

pick you up.”

“Pick me up?” Claudia was confused. Why did Edmond suddenly ask someone to pick her up?

“Cicely suddenly felt better and insisted on coming back: She even asked Mr. Lamont to call other

relatives and organize a family banquet.”

When Claudia heard that Cicely’s spirits had improved, she suddenly had a bad premonition.

The sudden improvement in the me ntal state of a terminally ill person is not a good thing. The worst

fear is a temporary recovery.

She turned her head toward Waldron and said, “I’ll go over there first.”

Waldron saw her without hesitation and furrowed his brow. He grabbed her and said, “I’ll go with you.”

He didn’t have a good impression of Edmond. What if his sister went over and got bullied?

“Don’t worry,” Claudia patted his shoulder and reassured, “He can’t hurt me anymore.”

Although this is the case, Waldron still feels uneasy: “I think it’s best if you don’t go, I can send

someone from my side to take care of it for you.”

The assistant said that there was a family banquet

She went to figure out what was going on at their family banquet

Claudia remained silent for a few seconds, unsure of how to explain this matter to him.

“I may not care about the rest of the Lamont family’s misfortunes, but Edmond’s mother was already

terminally ill. I don’t want to regret waiting until after her passing.”

Even if she didn’t like the Lamont family anymore, but one thing is for sure, her mother-in-law never did

anything wrong to her.

She remembers that shortly after marrying Edmond, she fell seriously ill. A bad cold kept her in bed for

half a month. It was her mother-in- law who took care of her personally. At that time, she was

pleasantly surprised by the special treatment. After half a month passed, the relationship between the

two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also improved a lot. The fact that her marriage with Edmond

could last this long, it has to be said, was also due to her mother-in-law.

Good men are not hard to find now, but good mothers-in-law are hard to find.

Even though the period when her mother-in-law lost her memory hurt her, she couldn’t get angry at her

mother-in-law who was seriously ill.

Grandmother didn’t have many days left. Even if there were any grievances or resentments, they

shouldn’t be held against an elderly

person.

Seeing her resolute, Waldron pursed his lips and ultimately did not intervene.

“You go, be careful on the way.”

Claudia chuckled softly and then got into the car.

The assistant saw Claudia get into the car without hesitation, with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

This Claudia, being a person of integrity and loyalty, if others encountered someone like Edmond, not

to mention coming to visit the elderly, they might even cut off all ties with the Lamont family.

But Claudia, she could distinguish and understand clearly.

Such clear and transparent individuals are indeed rare to come by.

I hoped Edmond would put in more effort to win her back.

The Lamont’s manor gathered many direct and distant relatives of the Lamont family.

“It’s so late, I don’t think we should wait for others anymore. What’s the matter? Let’s hurry up and talk

now.”

One middle-aged woman yawned, but excitement was evident in her

eyes.

Glowing back to the past!

Last will and testament, divide the property!

Maybe everyone who came today had a share.

Unfortunately, everyone from the Lamont family had gathered, but Cicely was still not starting the feast,

insisting on waiting for her daughter-in-law.

Daughter-in-law, Edmond got divorced, what kind of daughter-in-law does she still have?

“Cicely, I don’t think Claudia will come anymore. Go ahead and make the announcement if you have

something to say.”

“Yeah, Claudia has divorced Edmond. It’s impossible for her to come over. Let’s handle our own affairs

ourselves.”

These people were urging Cicely to start the feast early, with each of them saying a word.

Edmond sat beside Cicely, his face expressionless, his fingers clenched, betraying his emotions.

Just then, a maid walked in with joy and said, “Mr. Lamont, Ma’am, Ms. Lloyd has arrived.”
