Chapter 244 Rage
âUncle, you bought her a bag, isnât she your mistress?â Arianna pointed at the bag in front of Felicia
and questioned, âWhy didnât I see you buying a bag for your daughter? Is your own daughter inferior to
your subordinate?â
âDid you know how pitiful your cousin is? She was still borrowing money from Dempsey todayâ¦â
âCough, coughâ¦â Claudia coughed a few times, she hadnât expected Arianna to bring up this matter.
âDid you borrow money from Dempsey?â Thomas furrowed his brow, looking at Claudia with some
displeasure.
Claudia didnât respond, just glanced at the bags in front of Felicia and counter-questioned, âYouâre not
really planning to give her these bags, are you?â
These bags and accessories added up to several million, which was not a small amount.
Thoma sâs face turned red instantly.
He indeed intended to pay. Felicia had come a long way to help, and this was considered a âthank you
giftâ.
But in front of his daughter and niece, he didnât dare to admit it directly.
âSeraphinaâ¦â Felicia had just begun to explain when she was interrupted by Claudiaâs laughter.
âLook at my memory.â Claudia joked about herself, âYou guys are just colleagues, how could you give
such an expensive bag?â
Felicia then said to the people standing at the counter, âYou guys quickly settle the bill for our Ms.
Greer, weâll pay after she does.â
Felicia was taken aback, hastily looking towards Thomas, who slowly turned his head away.
This meant she was supposed to pay for it herself.
Pay by herself? All these things would cost several million, how could she, a company employee, have
so much money?!
Thomas didnât dare to speak either. If he paid in front of so many people, his reputation for infidelity
would be confirmed.
Even if he wanted to pay, he couldnât pay at that moment.
Just as Felicia was in a predicament, Claudia casually picked up the bag she had just sna tched from
Arianna and asked, âDoes Ms. Greer still want this bag?â
This was a new model that was hard to come by. It was rarely in stock at the counter, and even if it
was, it required a purchase of hundreds of thousands of other items. Now, this bag was right in front of
her, but she didnât have the money to buy it.
Feliciaâs face turned slightly pale, she gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words through her
clenched teeth: âNo more, itâs yours.â
The tone of her charity was as if it was truly something she had given to them.
A pang of pain surged in Feliciaâs heart. Liking something was one thing, but not being able to afford it
was another.
Claudia didnât hesitate, she twisted the bag and handed it to Arianna: âIf Ms. Greer canât afford it, we
will buy it.â
Her saying âcanât afford itâ made Feliciaâs face turn from pale to green with anger.
She was indeed shy, but being called out like this in person was tantamount to a direct loss of face for
her.
During the process of Felicia paying, she occasionally glanced at Thomas, only to find him indifferent.
However, when it was Claudiaâs turn to pay, Thomas took the initiative to swipe his card.
This time, Claudia and Arianna tacitly did not refuse.
Felicia was so angry that her eyes were nearly popping out.
She suffered a great loss herself, yet allowed Claudia and her group to gain an advantage.
Thomas pretended not to see and said solemnly to Claudia, âI have a few questions to ask you.â
Arianna took the initiative to leave. Felicia glanced at Thomas and could only wait tearfully on the side,
deliberately avoiding Arianna.
The image of Arianna slapping herself was still fresh in her mind, her face still throbbing faintly. Arianna
was part of the Johnson family, and since Thomas didnât say anything, she had no choice but to
swallow her anger.
Watching Claudiaâs calm demeanor, Thomas asked softly, âHow is your mother now?â
After Emily said she wanted to break up with him, he didnât sleep all night.
âAfter a good meal and sleep, Iâm feeling pretty good,â Claudia said honestly, causing Thomas to choke
until his face turned green.
âShe usually likes you very much. You should persuade her. Itâs not good for us to divorce at this age,
especially it will affect your future choice of spouse.â Thoma sâs eyes darkened, his tone melancholic,
âYou are our daughter, you wouldnât really want to just watch your parents get divorced, would you?â
âI only had a mom, no dad, and I respected any decision my mom made.â
Thomas miscalculated when he wanted her to be the mediator.
Unexpectedly, she was so indifferent. Thomas choked so hard that he couldnât spit it out or swallow it.
âIf youâve done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear. Why would you need someone else to speak
for you?â Claudia raised her eyebrows slightly, casting a casual glance at Felicia, who was pacing
nervously not far away. âI donât know what exactly your relationship with Felicia is, but it was foolish of
you to have her explain to mom on your behalf yesterday.â
âThat wasnât an explanation, it was adding fuel to the fire.â
Thoma sâs face suddenly changed, slowly shrouded in a layer of gloom and frost.
He had thought Feliciaâs explanation would be more convincing, but now that he thought about it, it did
seem somewhat inappropriate.
âThe deed was done, I knew I had issues, but I am your father⦠Seraphina, I didnât want to divorce
your mother.â
Thoma sâs voice softened, subtly tinged with a hint of helplessness.
Seeing him like this, Claudia had no syn
was somewhat mocking: âIf you were truly remorseful, you should have kept your distance from this
Felicia. No one likes warming. someone elseâs central heating.â
After speaking, Claudia glanced at the time on her phone and laughed listlessly, âIâve said what I
needed to say. Oh, and thank you for your bag.â
Thomas spent quite a bit of money today, itâs always better to spend on oneâs own family than on
strangers.
Thoma sâs eyes slightly lowered, his lips sealed in silence,
After Claudia and the others had left, Felicia hurried over, âMr. Friedanâ¦â
âGo to the branch office,â Thomas suddenly said.
Felicia was taken aback, âMr. Friedan, what do you mean by thatâ¦â
âI was planning to open a branch office in Sea City, and I wanted you to help me assemble a team.â
Sea City⦠was a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from Wyvernport.
âMr. Friedan⦠If you want to keep your distance from me, just say it. Thereâs no need to go to such
lengths,â Felicia forced a bitter smile, her

voice choked with emotion. âIâm an employee of the company. Iâll do whatever the company needs me
to do.â
The change in Thomas was so drastic. Felicia knew, Claudia must have said something to him.
The thought of being forced to spend a lot of money today made Felicia feel suffocated.
She gritted her teeth, and said softly, âMr. Friedan, Elva has been hospitalized.â
Thomas furrowed his brow, âWhy are you in the hospital again?â
Over the past six months, the place he visited most was the hospital.
Feliciaâs expression was serious, âHer leg was broken, she needs to wear a prosthetic again. It broke
last night at the Johnson familyâs place. Although she never said anything, I believe this incident must
be related to the Johnson family.â
Upon hearing about the Johnson family, anger surged up from the depths of Thoma sâs heart.
âDalton punched him yesterday, and his face still hurts a bit now. Itâs one thing to hurt him, but why take
it out on a child? Emily doesnât like Elva, and the rest of the Johnson family might have misunderstood
Elva, but thatâs no reason to break Elvaâs legâ¦â At this point, Felicia deliberately paused, âMr. Friedan,
this is just my speculation, perhaps things arenât that complicated.â

âItâs not that complicatedâ¦â Thomas sneered, âIf Dalton could hit me in front of so many people, what
couldnât they do?â
âI was going to ask them today, why they treated my daughter this way!â
Upon hearing that Thomas was going to the Johnson family, Felicia panicked, âMr. Friedan, itâs not a
good time for you to go now. At this time, the Johnson family is probably home.â
âAll present? Perfect, I havenât settled yesterdayâs account, with them yet!â Thomas stormed into the
elevator, ignoring Claudiaâs advice.
