Claudia shouted while deliberately banging on the door with her hand.

Her mind was filled with only one belief, to ruin Rosalie and Edmond’s sweet night.

Even if Edmond blames her later, she can still shift the blame onto the assistant.

Claudia chuckled, but she didn’t notice that the door had opened.

Saw the person opening the door.

Her smile froze on her face instantly.

Four pairs of eyes met, and without surprise, each saw a trace of embarrassment in the other’s gaze.

“How did you come here?” Edmond’s eagle-like eyes narrowed slightly.

“Edmond, who is here?” Rosalie walked over, disheveled, and when she saw Claudia, she gently

covered her mouth and blushed, hiding behind. “Ms. Lloyd, what are you doing here so late at night?”

There was a hint of resentment and accusation in Rosalie’s tone.

Claudia stood in place, feeling awkward and unsure of what to do.

Is this… already finished?

Did she come late?

Looking at this situation, it doesn’t seem like being forced, but rather

quite willingly.

Claudia sneered, lightly licking her dry lips, “Your assistant said you were in trouble. I didn’t know it was

this matter. Sorry for interrupting, carry on…”

She quickly turned around.

Edmond’s face turned cold.

Something happened, he really almost had an accident.

But when she opened the door just now, her gloating smile was most likely not to help him, but to watch

the show.

His gaze was locked tightly on Claudia’s face, trying to see something else, but apart from a smile,

there was no other emotion visible on her face.

She didn’t mind.

I didn’t care either.

This realization made his heart feel as heavy as a stone in his chest.

She didn’t care about his every move, even when he almost had a relationship with Rosalie, she just

had a spectator men tality.

She really didn’t care, maybe she never cared at all.

Claudia walked down the stairs quickly, and as she was about to walk out the door, Edmond spoke

coldly, “Stop.”

“You take Ms. Clayton back first,” he instructed the assistant who was pacing back and forth nearby.

Rosalie widened her eyes and quickly shook her head, “No, Edmond, I

wouldn’t go.”

Why should Claudia stay here when she wants to go back?

She didn’t leave!

“I don’t care who of you leaves, I have to go anyway,” Claudia said in a cold tone. “Today’s incident was

a bit of a misunderstanding, you can ask your assistant for the details, I didn’t mean to offend anyone.”

After saying these words, he walked away without even looking at Edmond or turning his head back.

After Claudia left, Rosalie nervously walked up to Edmond and said, “Edmond…”

Edmond’s gaze turned cold and indifferent as he said, “You should know, I didn’t like being

manipulated.”

Turned around, closed the door, and kept her outside.

Rosalie had a pale face, standing alone in place, like a fallen leaf in the wind.

Because of this mishap, Claudia had nightmares all night.

The next morning, Ervin told her some bad news.

“Dad still decided to give the project to the Clayton family, saying that the two families should continue

to collaborate.”

Upon hearing the news, Claudia immediately snapped out of her daze.

After finally disrupting the Clayton family’s affairs, we went round and round, only to find ourselves back

at square one.

“When did it happen?”

Ervin said sternly, “After Dad and Elva met, they were determined to give the project to the Clayton

family, and they didn’t allow us to intervene. Waldron, upon learning about this, is demanding to be

discharged from the hospital!”

This matter was promised by Waldron, and originally everything was set in stone, but it was all turned

around. Naturally, Waldron was

angry.

I have to say that Rosalie made a good move in this chess game, and Elva is also more resourceful

than she imagined.

Would Thomas still give the project to the Clayton family if he knew that Rosalie had hired someone to

kill her own son?

Her hand holding the phone tightened.

“Where is your dad now?”

“The company.”

***

After hanging up the phone, Claudia hurried to the corporate building of the Friedan Group.

The Friedan Edifice was located in the high-tech district of Wellfort, and the sixty-plus-story twin towers

even became a landmark of Wellfort.

A luxurious and grand enterprise, involving real estate, entertainment, and technology, was the place

where salaried workers were eager to get into.

Claudia had just gotten off the car when a few children ran past her,

almost colliding with her.

Claudia took a few steps back and fixed her gaze on a group of children bullying another child.

“Quick, give me the toy in your hand, or I’ll have my brothers beat you up!”

“No, this was bought for me by my dad, I can’t give it to you!”

“You didn’t have parents at all, you were an unwanted child.”

“I had parents!” The child stood up indignantly and pushed the big boy in front of him.

“What about your mom and dad? Why didn’t they come to save you! You little liar!”

The big boy laughed and sna tched the bubble gun from his hand.

The little boy pouted, with a blue and purple bruise on his face, looking pitiful.

Claudia’s footsteps came to a halt.

The little boy looked somewhat familiar.

Claudia squinted and thought for a moment, immediately recalling the mischievous child in the hospital.

What a narrow path for enemies!

Claudia grinned.

“What were you doing?”

Abel saw Claudia and quickly got up from the ground, kicking his feet and running toward her, hiding

behind her.

Watching him use himself as a shield, Claudia sneered and thought, “That’s all he’s capable of.”

“You are…” The big boy looked at Claudia cautiously and then turned to Abel, “Is she your mother?”

Abel glanced at Claudia quietly, his lips stuttered for a moment, neither denying nor admitting.

Just when everyone assumed she was his mother, Claudia smirked and said, “No.”

Abel:

“Give the toy back to him, or else I will tell the police that you robbed us.”

Upon hearing the news, several children looked at each other and a hint of fear appeared in their eyes.

The little boy threw the toy toward Abel and ran away quickly.

Abel picked up the toy and looked at her intently, saying, “Thank you, but I still really dislike you.”

“Whatever.” Claudia rolled her eyes. “There are too many people in this world who like me, I don’t need

just you.”

At such a young age, she spoke so rudely. She didn’t want him to like her.

“Anyway, you hated me and I hated you too.”

If it hadn’t been for that scene just now, which reminded her of the experience of being bullied in her

childhood, she wouldn’t have helped with this favor.

The naughty child got beaten up by someone, which is quite good.

She took a few steps but found that the little brat had been following

her.

“Hey, you little brat…” she crossed her arms, ready to give him a good scolding, but just then, a few

people in black clothes and black sunglasses rushed out and stopped her.

“Young master! I finally found you.” A middle-aged woman in her fifties ran over and hugged Abel,

crying uncontrollably, gasping for breath. “Don’t run away from home like that again in the future.”

She examined Abel from head to toe and exclaimed, “Young master, how did your face become like

this?”

The middle-aged woman looked at Claudia, her teeth trembling with anger.

She instructed the bodyguard, “Tie her up and take her to the police station.”

“Daring to kidnap and abuse children, I will make her taste the same kind of abuse in prison.”
