Chapter 56: Chapter 58

Chapter 58 Are You Blind or Deaf?

She had a better chance than anyone else, but the opponent was Rosalie, the future Mrs. Lamont, his

moonlight.

She did not want to bring shame upon herself.

But seeing Rosalie’s determined look, Claudia suddenly changed her mind.

She could give up the spot to anyone, but if that person is Rosalie, then she has to take the spot back.

“Of course, it would be even better if you could let me participate,” her voice was lazy and soft, with a

hint of a drawn-out tone, “Being able to participate in such a competition is also my dream.”

Her brown irises trembled slightly, causing Edmond’s thin lips to curve, slightly.

He thought she really didn’t care!

“Well, the competition spot is yours.

I didn’t expect him to agree so readily.

Claudia was inexplicably surprised.

“Edmond…” Rosalie pouted in frustration. Just as she was about to say something else, Claudia’s firm

“fine” cut off all her escape routes.

Rosalie’s face turned as red as a monkey’s bottom when she embarrassed herself in front of so many

people.

They were all about to get married, so why did Edmond give the spot

to someone unrelated?

Claudia’s phone vibrated, and she checked the text message. It was from Ervin: “Come home for

dinner tonight, Dad needs to talk to you.”

Claudia thought for a moment and replied with a “Hmm.”

Edmond looked at Claudia, who was smiling at her phone, with a slightly darkened expression in his

eyes. “You guys go ahead, Claudia and I need to talk.”

Except for Rosalie, everyone else left quickly.

Rosalie glared at Claudia with hatred, feeling a chilling coldness in her heart.

Once Claudia’s identity as Seraphina is exposed, both her engagement with Edmond will be in danger.

Rosalie was so furious that she felt a bit dizzy when she realized that Edmond had given the

competition spot to Claudia.

It seems that she could only resort to her trump card.

She thought for a moment, took out her phone, and sent a message to someone: “Bring him over.”

***

In the office of the President of the Lamont Group, Claudia leisurely lay on the sofa playing the popular

5V5 game.

Edmond was not annoyed either, he opened the computer to search for something.

As time passed by, minute by minute, the game was over, and her emotions were also completely

vented.

The man’s focused ink-black pupils were fixed on the screen, and the deep eyes reflected the light from

the screen, like sca ttered starlight in his eyes, sparkling and full of the charm that only a man

possesses.

In the past, her favorite thing was those eyes, they were extremely beautiful when she smiled, but the

owner of those eyes rarely smiled.

It seemed like he knew that she was sizing him up, Edmond’s shifted and met hers.

In the past, she would shyly move away, but now, she boldly approached.

gaze

“Mr. Lamont, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now. We can discuss the design competition over the

phone.”

I had just gone to play games, but I said that I neglected her. How did I not notice how good she was at

turning the tables before?

“When you participated in the competition, bring Rosalie along,” Edmond said, and Claudia’s face

immediately wore a mocking smile.

She thought it was something else, but it turned out to be this.

Why didn’t he say to bring him along with Rosalie?

“No way,” Claudia bluntly refused. In the past, she wouldn’t bring it, and now that she knew Rosalie had

someone else hit Waldron, she definitely wouldn’t bring it.

She was still wondering why Edmond agreed so readily, only to find out that he had another request

waiting for her.

“Taking her with me would distract me, unless you don’t want to win the competition.”

“Can you win?” Edmond raised an eyebrow in surprise. “Are you confident?”

“I was confident without Rosalie.”

“If you have the ability, bringing her along won’t affect you.”

Claudia sneered and a hint of impatience appeared on her face.

“Edmond, do you have any brains at all? I said not to bring it, did you become blind or deaf? Do you

know what she did?”

“What did you do?” Edmond furrowed his brow.

Claudia thought about how she had always protected Rosalie, only to have protected a murderer,

unsure whether to feel relieved or sympathetic.

“Never mind, even if I told you, you wouldn’t believe it.” The day when the police come looking for

Rosalie, he will finally know what kind of beast he had been protecting.

“I’m leaving now, there’s nothing else. Bringing Rosalie is impossible. If you insist on me bringing her,

then I won’t participate in this competition.”

Who loved to participate, participated.

Claudia turned around and walked away, as Edmond’s voice echoed from behind, “Come back with a

victory for the Lamont Group, without Rosalie.”

Is this considered a compromise?

Claudia turned around and lifted her chin slightly, saying, “Okay.”

As long as Rosalie wasn’t allowed to follow.

Not being able to win the championship, it shouldn’t be a problem to secure the third place, right?

She lacked confidence in other areas, but when it came to design, she had absolute confidence.

Having obtained her assurance, Edmond went out without telling her to leave or stay.

Watching Rosalie poking her head outside, Claudia smirked and pretended to doze off on the couch.

I slept until five o’clock and returned to the Friedan family.

The girl had long eyelashes that covered her brown pupils, and her hair was sca ttered on the sofa, like

thick seaweed.

What Edmond saw when he walked in was such a scene.

He walked over, lowered his eyelids, and looked down at her peaceful sleeping face. Outside the

window, there was a bustling traffic, but she slept soundly, enjoying a peaceful time.

I have seen such scenes many times in the three years of their marriage, but from now on, the distance

between him and her will only grow further, like an insurmountable distance that cannot be crossed no

matter how many steps are taken.

He reached out his hand, slowly crouched down, and just as he was

about to touch her…

“Mr. Lamont, what you wanted…”

The assistant walked in carrying a large box.

Edmond frowned, impatiently stood up and walked briskly to the bookshelf. He picked up a book and

started reading it while sitting on

the chair.

The atmosphere was not right!

The assistant quickly realized that he had done something wrong, so he put the box down and left

dejectedly.

When the sky gradually darkened, Claudia was awakened by the alarm she had set on her phone.

As I opened my eyes, I came face to face with a man sitting on the chair.

“Take this away,” Edmond pointed at the box with his book.

Claudia walked up to the box, feeling confused. However, she discovered that it contained many small

boxes. She hesitated and opened one, then picked up another one…..

When she had opened five of them, she finally knew what was in the whole box.

All of these are top-level jewelry, many of which are antique and museum-grade collections. They are

all traditional jewelry.

“This was…”

“Sponsorship for the competition,” Edmond said, his thin lips pursed lightly, his gaze as calm as water.

“Your style tends to be more traditional, I hope these will be helpful to you.”

It was useful, how could it be useless!

Claudia was a bit excited.

She had also bought a lot of jewelry, but many things cannot be bought with money alone. Some items

that were unearthed or came from other

countries not only required money, but also connections. As she casually flipped through the contents

of the box, she saw many surprises. Many pieces of jewelry were ones she had wanted to buy but

couldn’t at the time.

“These things… were expensive, right?”

She looked at Edmond with a complicated expression in her eyes. She didn’t expect that he had

prepared this for her.

There were many things inside, but they were worthless.

“If you bring glory to the Lamont Group, all of these can be yours,” Edmond said, rising and walking

toward her, his voice incredibly magnetic.

Claudia’s feet were nailed to the ground, her eyes fixed on the things inside the box, unable to move

them no matter what.

Did you give it to her?

All of it to her?

She thought of something and looked at him suspiciously, “You wouldn’t bribe me with this to make me

bring Rosalie over, would you?”
