Chapter 249 A Single Sentence Determined Life and Death
Eileenâs appearance was like a bombshell, instantly exploding.
Everyone present had sensed an abnormal atmosphere.
How did a person who was fired get in?
Upon seeing Eileen, Claudia and Pedro didnât have much of a reaction, but Calvin did.
0
âBoss, was it your idea for Number Six to directly open an account on the public platform?â Calvin
sighed, his tone seemingly respectful but with a hint of intrigue. âPedro demanded that Eileen be fired,
and none of us dared to refute. Now that the person involved is here, Boss, why donât you just tell us
what exactly Eileen did wrong?â
The atmosphere suddenly fell into tension.
Claudia curled her lips, carrying a slight chill.
Eileen glanced at Pedro, tears instantly falling: âIf I am wrong, I will admit it myself, but I will never
admit that Pedro and Seraphina teamed up to ostracize me!â
âPedro, I had a disagreement with Seraphina, but do you really need to

protect her to the point of turning your blade against your own people? Sheâs the one you like, and Iâm
your colleague! Have you forgotten that the most important rule in our organization is not to use your
authority to interfere with personal disputes? You fired me for her, which violates the rules and
regulations of the organization!â
Eileen was filled with righteous indignation, her words piercing to the heart.
In her words and implications, she was steering the relationship between Pedro and Claudia towards
ambiguity.
She looked at Claudia, who was wearing a mask, with anticipation in her heart. As long as the boss
proposed to thoroughly investigate this matter, there would be a chance for her return.

The fact that Pedro liked Claudia was undeniable, otherwise he wouldnât have competed with Horace to
be the father in the first place.
Pedro didnât say a word, crossed his arms, and scoffed at Eileenâs accusations.
This fool, was still acting stupid.
âYou were dismissed because you deliberately exposed the organizationâs identity,â Claudia said flatly.
Eileenâs face turned slightly pale, her body trembled, like a leaf about to fall.
âI didnât expose anything,â Eileen defended stubbornly, gritting her teeth.
Only the Friedan family knew about her revealing her identity.
Eileen defended herself awkwardly, âIs there any evidence that I exposed my identity?â
At that time, she only displayed her authority as a member of the Enigma organization in front of the
Friedan family, unless the Friedan family personally identified her.
âYouâve used your authority to help Elva countless times in front of Thomas,â Claudia laughed in
disbelief, she didnât expect Eileen to still be making excuses at this point.
âMy words were the evidence.â
A single sentence determined life and death.
Eileen felt a chill run through her body.
Who was the person in front of her? It was the boss of the Enigma organization, her boss.
The boss wanted to fire someone, he didnât need to explain to an employee like her, because the
secrecy of this organization was not protected by law at all.
She indeed revealed her identity, but she didnât understand why the person in front of her knew it so
clearly.
âEileen has been fired. Whoever let her in, whoever helped her, investigate thoroughly.â Claudia
ordered, looking at Pedro with an icy
tone.
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the entire room cooled down.
They would not forget who founded this organization, let alone the bossâs decisive and resolute
methods.
Three years had drifted them apart.

Calvin stood by, his lips moving slightly. Seeing Claudia looking at him thoughtfully, he immediately
stopped speaking.
The number 38 who had previously spoken for Eileen wanted to say something more, but after
receiving a glare from Calvin, he swallowed his words.
Saying anything now was useless.
Eileenâs face turned pale, her hands slightly trembling and icy cold. She clenched her fists, her
fingertips digging harshly into her palms, yet she felt no pain.
She thought that the boss would investigate no matter what, but she didnât expect that a single
sentence would directly determine her life or
death.
âWhat about Claudia?â After who knows how long, Eileen finally found her voice again, âShe also
helped Thomasâs family in the name of the organization! Why wasnât she punished?!â
âWho said she was part of the organization?â Claudia asked in a flat tone, âThe organization just took
her task, a billionâdollar task.â
A hundred million?!
Eileenâs eyes widened slightly. That woman actually gave the organization a billion?!
No wonder the organization could protect her, it turns out she had given the organization a task worth a
hundred million!
How could Claudia have had so much money?!
Eileen broke down.

âHow could it be⦠Her grandmother was just a garbage picker, how could she be so rich?â
Claudia sneered, her eyes clear and pure, tinged with a hint of amusement.
What she enjoyed watching the most was some people getting slapped
in the face.

Just a hundred million, for her, it was like moving money from one pocket to another. Not to mention a
hundred million, most of the money in the organization was hers.
Unfortunately, Eileen could never figure it out.
âPlease escort Ms. Schmidt out,â Claudia waved her hand, and soon a muscular security guard led
Eileen out.
Now, no one had anything to say about Pedro and Claudiaâs relationship. What could they say? They
had been given a billion. If they could take on a billionâdollar task, they would wake up laughing from
their dreams.
After resolving the issues within the organization, it was already midnight.
Rejecting Pedroâs offer to accompany her, Claudia walked out of the alley alone.
Even at midnight, this street remained bustling, with all sorts of people traversing the street, indulging
themselves to their heartâs content.
Just as I stepped out of the alley, I saw a familiar car parked at the
entrance.
The car window was open, Magnus was wearing a mask, his head
slightly turned to the other side, as if he had felt her gaze. Magnusâs eyes shifted, staring straight at
her.
Magnus, youâre still here?!
Claudia was somewhat dazed.
Had he been waiting for her here all along?
The night light shone on Edmondâs tightly covered face, casting a patchy shadow that made it hard to
discern.
Seeing her come out, Magnusâs heart fluttered slightly.
Perhaps it was because of her saying âI believe,â that he had been waiting for her here all along.
Just like a person who had fallen into the water, he clung desperately to this floating weed, waiting for
her rescue.
She trusted him.
In this world, she was the only one left who still believed in him.
âGet in the car.
Just two short words, he used all his courage, his voice hoarse and low.
Claudia watched from a distance, as under the onslaught of the cold wind, reason still prevailed.
She was pregnant then, she couldnât catch a cold.
Just then, a car drove by, its headlights sweeping across, instantly illuminating the entire street.
âSeraphina!â As soon as the car door opened, Horace got out and quickly walked towards her. He
hurriedly took off his own scarf and wrapped it around her neck without a word. âItâs cold, and youâre
pregnant. Why didnât you wait inside?â
The warm scarf was wrapped so tightly around Claudia that she couldnât breathe, her face instantly
turned red.
She wanted to take off her scarf, but Horace held her hand, whispering, âA new scarf, for the sake of
the child.â
Claudiaâs hand paused.
A sharp gaze was directed at them. Claudia pursed her lips, gently looked up, only to see the tightly
closed car window.

Subsequently, the car door made a sound, and someone also walked out from the car.
Seeing Magnus approaching her, Claudia was taken aback.
âMs. Friedan, get in the car.â
Without even looking at Horace, there was a touch of nonchalance and dominance in Magnusâs voice.
As if just noticing Magnus, Horace sneered, rudely stepping in front of Claudia and sternly warning, âMr.
Fleming, youâve crossed the line!â
The last time was dancing, this time was picking up someone.
âSeraphina was my fiancée.â
Horace had a clear anger on his face.
0
His fiancée had been hit on time and again, which was blatantly cuckolding him. The last time, he didnât
put his foot down out of respect for the Fleming family. This time, Horace decided to make him give up
completely.
âThe child in her belly was also mine, Mr. Fleming, donât play the happy father.â
Horaceâs voice was eerily soft, turning into a blade that ruthlessly cut into someoneâs heart.
âYour child?â Magnusâs lips twitched, veins throbbing on his forehead. âThe child is Edmondâs, it has
nothing to do with you. What, feeling superior for playing stepfather? Is that what the Ferguson family is
so
keen on, being lapdogs?â

The two words âlicking dogâ were like a steel knife, completely tearing off the mask on Horaceâs face.
For a moment, the atmosphere was tense as a drawn bow.
