Chapter 248 I Came Back
âToo late?â Magnus asked lazily, âThen letâs not go.â
Not going anymore?!
Eileen froze, momentarily thinking she had misheard.
âMr. Fleming⦠right next to usâ¦â Eileen couldnât accept it, she never imagined that Magnus would
back out at such a time.
She had made so much effort, how could she give up halfway?

âMr. Fleming, werenât you curious about Claudiaâs identity? My friend has already found out, saying she
wasnât a formal employee, but wasâ¦â
âI donât care about her status.â Magnus interrupted her indifferently, his tone full of implications. âAlso,
she is the mother of my child, I will never help you against her, no matter what.â
Eileen shuddered, the hopeful light in her eyes slowly fading away.
The mother of the childâ¦
How could she forget that Claudia was carrying Edmondâs child? With a child involved, Edmond and
Claudia would always be tied together.
Her face flushed, she gritted her teeth and said, âThen Iâm leaving first.â

Tonight was pivotal for her future, she was determined to reclaim everything that belonged to her.
The alley was very quiet, the moon had risen high into the sky, a wind blew by, and Claudia tightened
her thick windproof down jacket around her.
At the end of the alley was a bustling bar, with a security guard standing at the entrance, people
coming and going, creating a noisy and chaotic scene.
Claudia slightly flashed her admission ticket in her hand, and the security guard easily let her in.
Past the bar, there was a large quadrangle, an antique building, which was overshadowed by highâ
rises on this bustling street, and thus was not conspicuous.
Claudia pulled out a mask from her pocket and put it on, slowly walking in.
The mask was pure gold, inlaid with crushed diamonds, and an engraving of the word âEnigmaâ at the
corner of the eye was very conspicuous.
In the largest hall of the quadrangle, people wearing various masks were seated.
The people inside the house were chattering about whether or not the boss would come to this
meeting.
âThe boss hadnât participated for three years, would he really come this time?â
âI received a message that they would really come this time. If you donât believe it, just wait. If they
donât come, Iâll transfer ten thousand to your PayPal.â
âPah, you think I would reveal my identity for just ten thousand bucks?â

In the middle of the room, there was a boss chair, and next to the table sat several men dressed
differently.
Pedro, wearing a silver mask, occasionally glanced towards the door.
âPedro, is the boss almost here?â Warren sat to one side, both nervous and excited.
âDonât worry, she will definitely come tonight.â Pedroâs voice was full of certainty.
She hadnât come for three years, and her position had already been threatened.
He glanced indifferently at Calvin Stephens beside him, a hint of coldness in his brown eyes.
âPedro, why are you always watching me?â Calvin, wearing sunglasses and a thin shirt, his muscles
bulging and strong, said, âWhen the boss left, he specifically instructed that I should handle everything
here. I know youâve been dissatisfied with my actions over the years, but Iâm doing it for the
organization!â
He took a puff of his cigarette, then exhaled a cloud of murky smoke.
Pedro sneered, his fingers cracking loudly as he clenched them tightly.
Since Claudia married Edmond, she rarely appeared, which led to some monkeys claiming to be the
king. Calvin was one of them, and Eileen was brought up by him.
Hearing Calvinâs words, someone echoed, âIn the three years that the boss was not here, Calvin has
done a lot for the organization. Pedro, itâs normal that you canât see Calvinâs hard work because you
are thriving in the entertainment industry.â
A single sentence revealed Pedroâs identity.
Pedroâs cold gaze swept towards the newcomer, ready to retort, but he saw someone quickly
approaching from the doorway.
She was wrapped in a white thermal suit, her long hair draped down, a mask covering half of her face,
revealing a sharp chin.
Upon seeing this mask, the scene suddenly fell silent.
This was the unique mask of the boss, which couldnât even be replicated.
âBoss! Youâre finally back?!â Warren ran over joyfully, breaking the silence.
Watching Warren rush over like a child, Claudia laughed and patted. his shoulder, âIâm back.â
âApologies to everyone, I disappeared for three years in order to complete a daunting task.â
She didnât say what the mission was, but the complaints about her in the field immediately dropped to
the lowest.
The boss hadnât shown up for so many years. Although no one spoke about it, everyone was unsure
deep down.
Seeing the boss return at that moment, a weight was lifted from everyoneâs heart.
âJust come back.â Pedro stood up, his voice trembling slightly.
Seeing Claudia return, he was excited deep down.
âLetâs all report on this yearâs work situation,â Claudia said, sitting
down in the chair and preparing to take notes with the documents and pen beside her.
âBoss, Iâm number 38, thereâs something I need you to handle.â
Suddenly, an excited voice cut in.
Claudia looked up and saw a man standing up. To her surprise, he took off his mask.
The man was wearing a black coat, looking to be about twenty to thirty years old, a young lad.
Taking off the mask meant revealing oneâs identity.

Claudia straightened her expression, her tone serious: âGo ahead.â
The matter that could expose his identity must have been very important.
âBoss, I want to report Pedro,â he glared at Pedro menacingly.
The whole room was in an uproar.
Pedro? That star who was the talk of the town?
Was he actually Pedro?
Seeing Pedroâs identity exposed, Claudiaâs heart sank.
She looked at the young man in front of her, squinting her eyes, a bad premonition lurking in her heart.
âI reported him for colluding with Edmondâs exâwife, framing our team members for his own gain,â the
young man finished, leaving the room in silence.
The framed team member? Could it be Eileen?
Recently, only Eileen was fired, and the matter caused quite a stir
0
Indeed, it was Pedro who did the firing, but everyone assumed it was the bossâs intention.
âNumber 38â said this, could there be more to this matter than meets the eye?
Claudia bit her lower lip, her expression almost breaking. She took a deep breath and asked coldly,
âAre you sure itâs a setup?â
Which of the things that Eileen did wasnât like dancing on a high- voltage wire, and why would, there be
a need to frame her?
Did she really think that she wouldnât know anything just because she hadnât returned for all these
years?

âIt was a setup!â
Eileenâs voice had risen high.
At the door, Eileen walked in with tears in her eyes, holding her head high and chest out.
âBoss, Pedro liked Claudia, he even created a Twitter account and openly said he would fire me. I want
to ask him personally now, what exactly did I do wrong? Why did Pedro have the right to fire me?â
