Chapter 260 Iâm Sorry
Waldron immediately saw Derrickâs soft heart and rolled his eyes in resignation.
Just then, Waldronâs phone vibrated. It was a message from his media friend: Elva had called the
reporters to the mall to frame Claudia for a scam. I managed to intercept the news before it was
released. You might want to take some action. This news wonât do Seraphina any good if it gets out.
Upon seeing this, Waldron was beside himself with anger.
This friend was his classmate, who had numerous connections in the media. Ever since the news
about Claudia getting involved with the media broke out, he had asked this friend to pay close attention
early on. Anything related to Seraphina, he had him intercept in advance.
No, another piece of news stopped him, but he never imagined that this news was caused by Elva.
Upon seeing Derrick and Elva harmoniously on the phone again, Waldron stormed over to Derrick and
coldly said, âDerrick, thereâs something important I need to discuss with you. Hang up the phone first.â
Disconnected?
Derrick was taken aback. He was still on the phone with Elva, and hanging up abruptly was somewhat
impolite.
Derrick ignored Waldron, asking the person on the phone, âHow much do you want?â
He couldnât bear to watch Elva being kicked out of the hospital with his own eyes, so he decided to
make it quick.
On the phone, Elvaâs voice was firm and confident: âI want ten million.â
Ten million was enough to cure her and her brotherâs illness, and they wouldnât have to worry for the
rest of their lives.
Ten million?!
Derrick furrowed his brow, not expecting Elva to come up with this number.
âI remember your surgery didnât cost this much.â
After deducting various insurances, Elvaâs surgery cost did not exceed one million.
âDerrick, thereâs still the maintenance fee for the rest of my life. You know Iâve had plastic surgery, and
you guys wonât take care of me in the future. I need to ensure this money so I wonât starve to death.â
âDerrick, I am disabled, and it will be difficult for me to find a job in the future. I have been a lady of the
Friedan family for so many years, and itâs hard to go from luxury to frugality. You should understand
me, right?â
Upon hearing this, Derrick turned pale.
Ten million was not a small figure for him, he might even have to use the properties under his name.
âElva, once youâve healed your leg, you can find a job on your ownâ¦â
âEnough talk, you just wonât give it, will you?â Elva interrupted him, her tone full of mockery. âI knew it,
all this sister and brother talk is all fake. Iâm just adopted, I have no blood relation to any of you. Even if
I starved to death, none of you would shed a single tear.â
âDerrick, I regarded you as my hope, but you gave me despair.â
Elvaâs words were full of complaints.
âNo more, I donât want anything anymore, just let it be, I canât survive anyway, remember to collect my
body tomorrow, Iâll be your sister in the next lifeâ¦â
At this point, Elva hung up the phone.
Upon hearing this, Derrickâs brows furrowed and his fingers clenched tightly.
âDid she threaten you with suicide again?!â Waldron saw through everything and threw the phone to
Derrick, âElva is resorting to her old tricks, trying to frame Claudia again. She contacted the media and
made a scene in the mall, all to ruin Claudiaâs reputation. Derrick, if you go soft again, donât blame me
for not recognizing you as my brother.â
Seeing the chat history on his phone, Derrick was taken aback, his eyes filled with guilt and unease,
âIâm worried Elva might commit suicide in this stateâ¦â
âDerrick, do you know why Seraphina never calls you brother?â Waldron delivered a heavy blow,
âBecause youâve never treated her like a sister, youâve never stood up for her, and youâve even helped
outsiders bully her. If you still donât realize your mistakes this time, I can guarantee that Seraphina will
never acknowledge you, and even I wonât acknowledge you.â
âDidnât Elva want to commit suicide? Then letâs see if she really will or not. Donât worry, if she dies, Iâll
kneel before her grave and apologize. But if she doesnât succeed, I want you to bring her to Seraphina
and apologize,â Waldron curled his lips, smiling wickedly, âIf she doesnât die, then Iâll make sure she
does.â
He had long been fed up with her constant threats to her own life and habitual moral blackmail. Apart
from brainless individuals like Derrick and Thomas, no one could stand such a woman.
Hearing Waldronâs harsh words, Derrick lowered his gaze, his palm clenched, his voice hoarse:
âWaldron, after all, she has been our sister
for so many years.â
âI didnât treat her as anything less than a sister,â Waldron interrupted him. âItâs her who didnât consider
us as brothers, didnât consider Seraphina as a sister. Iâll say it again, if you continue to be stubborn,
donât blame me for being harsh on her.â
He snatched the phone and glared at Derrick menacingly.
Derrick remained silent, his face somewhat embarrassed.
He knew that Waldron was a man of his word, if he helped Elva, Waldron would definitely cause
trouble.
âDonât worry, I didnât help her.â
Though he said so, Derrick was still very worried. He was afraid that Elva might really do something
foolish.
Elva really intended to do something foolish.
At that time, she was at her witâs end. She found a rooftop of a three- story building, looked down from
above, her heart trembling fiercely.
Those reporters didnât release the news, claiming it had been bought off. Her plan to tarnish Claudiaâs
reputation also fell through.
At that time, she felt it was better to be dead than alive, living was even more painful than death.
Reflecting on the past few months of my life, falling from heaven to hell, the hatred in my heart was
endless.
âIt was all you, Seraphina, all you!â
If Seraphina hadnât shown up, she could have continued being the lady of Friedan family, instead of
ending up in such a disgraceful state, worse than a beggar.
She slowly moved to the edge of the rooftop, leaning on her cane, slowly âstandingâ up.
Just as she gritted her teeth, ready to jump, a voice stopped her.
âElva!â
Elva opened her eyes, slowly turned her head, and saw a face that haunted her dreams.
âHorace!â

When Claudia returned to the Johnson family, it was already evening, and a familiar man in a black
down jacket was standing at the door.
Thomas had been standing at the entrance of the mansion for an hour, and during that hour, not a
single member of the Johnson family had

come to attend to him, they didnât even let him in the door.
The person below had already investigated the background of the fortune teller, who was hired by Elva!
It turned out that all of this was Elvaâs doing. What she said before were all lies!
The moment he learned the truth, he was so angry that he almost fainted!
Thinking of his relationship with Emily, Thomas deeply felt the horror of losing a loved one and hurried
to the Johnson family to apologize to Emily.
He was wrong, outrageously wrong.
He shouldnât have believed in the bullshit talk of some fortune teller, let alone trust the words of a
person with a bad character like Elva.
He stood outside the door, calmly feeling the breeze.
All of this was what he deserved.
Claudia returned to the Johnson family and saw Thomas at first glance, and Thomas also saw her.
âSeraphinaâ¦â Thomas moved forward excitedly, tears immediately
falling, âIâm sorry, Dad is sorry!â
