Chapter 192 Interrogation

Not dead…

“How is that possible!” Claudia retorted firmly, her heart pounding in

her chest.

“Pedro, you should know how difficult-faking death is, it’s not like acting in a TV drama.” Although she

thought that the events in her life were already dramatic enough, the possibility of Edmond faking his

death was too low. Only a highly imaginative writer could come up with such a plot!

“If he were really still alive…” Pedro paused, “would you remarry him?”

“Impossible,” Claudia’s slender eyebrows furrowed, and there was a rare impatience in her tone. “Don’t

ask me such questions in the future.”

Is it possible for Edmond to still be alive as a prerequisite for remarriage?

She didn’t even dare to think about it.

Pedro did not continue this topic.

“These past few days, I went to Vencumfield and went inside Enigma to find out about the situation,”

Pedro curled his fingers, his big peach blossom eyes filled with coldness. “Inside Enigma, it seemed

peaceful but there have been significant changes. Over the years, you have only given orders but

rarely appeared. People inside Enigma are spreading rumors that you might be dead.”

Claudia nodded slightly, her thin eyebrows raised gently.

She had just been absent for a long time, but during these years, she had been consistently posting

tasks on Enigma, and sometimes even taking on tasks herself. Unexpectedly, some people in Enigma

were actually hoping for her death.

She had originally anticipated that the time for designing the competition had passed and could no

longer be delayed.

“I booked a flight to Vencumfield and will depart the day after tomorrow.”

If you don’t go to Enigma to have a look, they might announce her death directly in Enigma.

Pedro looked at her hesitatingly, Edmond was the pain she couldn’t touch, and if he continued

speaking, he might also annoy her.

Watching Pedro’s receding figure and thinking about what he had said, Claudia’s heart pounded

“thump thump”.

She stood up and paced back and forth, with Pedro’s words “I doubt he didn’t die” echoing in her mind.

Not dead, is this possible?

She sat down on the chair, closed her eyes tightly, and clenched her fingers into a fist.

Since she was recognized by the Friedan family, she felt that nothing was impossible in this world.

Just then, her phone rang, it was Yvette calling.

“Claudia, do you know any reliable lawyer?”

Claudia’s heart ski pped a beat: “What’s wrong?”

“I was going to sue Spencer!”

After leaving the Friedan’s manor, Pedro drove directly to the Lamont family.

In the attic of the Lamont’s manor, there were many photos, mostly of Edmond and Tristen together.

The assistant entered with a mop and broom to clean, when suddenly, a silver Porsche drove into the

Lamont’s manor.

“Mr. Grant, there is a visitor. He said his last name is Ryan.”

Is your last name Ryan?

Assistant Rodney thought for a moment and couldn’t recall knowing anyone named Ryan.

Since Edmond’s death, half of the ser vants in the villa left. The Lamont family lost so many members

within a few years that those with poor men tal resilience simply left directly

He, as Edmond’s assistant, stayed behind instead, unmoved by any offers made by others, no matter

how much they were.

He walked out of the villa and immediately saw Pedro standing in the middle of the yard.

The biggest difference between celebrities and ordinary people is that celebrities have an indescribable

temperament, which others can never imitate.

“Mr. Grant,” Pedro walked over with big strides, took off his

sunglasses, revealing his handsome face, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his lips. “Do you

have a moment to chat?”

“No time.” Rodney had just turned around when Pedro’s teasing voice sounded.

“Was I waiting for Edmond to come back?”

Rodney paused, slowly turned around, and a few traces of anger appeared on his approachable face.

“Pedro, Mr. Lamont has passed away. Please show some respect for the deceased.”

“Mr. Lamont was killed by your brainless fans. You also bear some responsibility for this. Please use

your brain before speaking.

Pedro’s lips curled into a smile as he stared intently at him, “If Edmond is dead, why do you still need to

stay here? You’re just an assistant, you don’t have to guard Edmond for the rest of your life, right?”

“On the day of Edmond’s cremation, members of the Lamont family caused a scene at the

crematorium. It was you who managed to calm them down. Why did you handle such an unreasonable

situation in such a hasty manner? What are you trying to hide?”

Rodney furrowed his eyebrows, turned around, and walked into the house. With a loud “bang,” he

closed the door.

Pedro expected such a reaction.

Edmond’s farewell letter was too coincidental, as if he had known he was going to die. And the attitude

of this assistant was eerie in every

way.

He just wanted to tease Rodney a little while ago, although this person tried to conceal it, he still

showed some flaws.

Pedro’s lips tightened into a thin line, and his eyes were filled with

er 192 interrogation

mockery.

“Edmond, you had better be dead.”

A car was parked outside the small courtyard where Yvette lived. Claudia got out of the car and found

that the entire courtyard, from the walls to the ground, had been completely smashed.

Currently, the demolition has not started here yet. The courtyard looks like this, clearly indicating

human intervention.

Claudia’s heart sank as she took a few steps and heard Yvette’s piercing

scream.

“Yvette!”

Claudia hurriedly ran over, followed by several bodyguards.

On the small bed in the room, Spencer pressed on Yvette, his face twisted in anger. “This house has

always been our ancestral property. If it weren’t for your friend, how could my sister have exchanged

houses with you? Do you still have the audacity to accuse me?”

“Everett was getting married to someone else, now there was no one to help you!”

Spencer squinted at her chest with a lecherous gaze, and with a tug, the buttons of her shirt fell one by

one, revealing a voluptuous and fair skin.

Yvette was in tears, never before had she felt so humiliated, even though she had married the man in

front of her.

Spencer covered her mouth with her hand, and just when she was feeling hopeless, the pressure on

her body suddenly disappeared.

“Yvette, are you okay?” Claudia quickly took off her own coat and covered it over Yvette, helping her

up.

Yvette shook her head and stared at Spencer, still in a state of shock.

Claudia coldly said to the bodyguard standing behind her, “Strip him of his clothes and throw them onto

the pedestrian street in the city center.”

Upon hearing these words, Spencer’s face turned pale abruptly, “What do you want to do?”

“You don’t like playing this game very much, do you? Well, then go ahead and have a good time

playing it!” Thinking about the scene just now, Claudia’s stomach churned, overwhelmed by disgust

from the inside out.

Spencer shivered all over.

Stripped naked and thrown onto the street?

How can he have the face to go out in the future!

Before he could react, the bodyguard escorted him out of the door.

Yvette sat on the bed, knees bent, with her hands wrapped around her knees, her eyes staring blankly.

Claudia hugged her and gently patted her head, comforting her, “It’s okay, it’s okay…”

“Claudia, I finally understand why you insisted on sending Rosalie to prison.”

“Because there are certain individuals whom you cannot take matters into your own hands, but you

truly wish for that person to die. If it weren’t for the attachments in this world, I would rather die together

with Spencer!” Yvette cried out in pain, thinking about the recent humiliation she had endured from

Spencer.

Although Spencer was already married, having a relationship during the marriage and being forced to

have a relationship after the divorce are completely different things.

Taking advantage of Claudia’s coma and Everett’s busyness in recent days, Spencer had a crooked

idea of remarrying her. Seeing that she was unwilling, he decided to take a direct approach.

Claudia hugged her and patted her shoulder.

“What happened between you and Everett?”

She remembered that Everett liked Yvette, but she also heard that he was recently going to get

engaged to the heiress of the Sherman Group.

“Didn’t he like you? How did he get engaged to Nicole Sherman again?”

I

Nicole had heard about her impressive achievements when she was at the Lamont Group. It was said

that she frequently changed boyfriends, almost one per month. However, her good looks and wealth

made her daring behavior actually gain her a wave of fans.

When Everett was mentioned, Yvette’s pupils trembled, and she bit her lower lip, letting out a low

laugh. “His mother found out that we’ve been getting closer lately and arranged a blind date for him. He

said this engagement is just to appease his family and he won’t actually marry Nicole.”

But the photos of him hugging Nicole came out, and their engagement photos were very compatible.

Yvette smiled bitterly.

After a moment of silence, Claudia opened her red lips and said, “When you hastily got married back

then, was there any hidden reason?”

Yvette nodded with red eyes, “It was his mother who forced me to leave back then, otherwise I would

have been expelled. I worked so hard to get into college, and I didn’t want anything unexpected to

happen.”

Claudia’s eyes turned red, and she couldn’t believe that her good friend had hidden so much

grievances all these years.

During her college years, she was fully immersed in Enigma and rarely paid attention to the people

around her.

“But they are already engaged now…

The engagement of aristocratic families is equivalent to marriage, and the purpose of the alliance is

very clear, which is for their respective families.

Claudia sighed inwardly, feeling insecure about Yvette marrying into a family like Everett’s.

“He got engaged, we are no longer possible.”

When they met again, she had fantasies and even thought about the possibility of continuing their past

relationship.

From the moment he agreed to get engaged to Nicole, they were no longer possible.

Even if he were to be with her in the future, ethically, she would still

be the home wrecker.

She would never be a home wrecker!

“There is Arlene’s engagement banquet tonight, and Everett is also going. Why don’t you come with me

and ask him face to face?” Claudia patted her shoulder and whispered, “I had a lot of

misunderstandings with Edmond in the past that were never resolved. I hope you two don’t end up like

us, with regrets.”

Upon hearing this, Yvette’s exhausted heart revived once again.

There was a voice in the heart shouting: Ask, and once you ask, let it go!

“Okay, I will go with you and ask him face to face.”
