Chapter 72 What a Old Fool!

When did she become so close with the Friedan family?

Edmond’s face turned cold as he glanced at Claudia, signaling the bodyguard to let the person in.

Waldron rushed forward first, looking Claudia up and down, and stared at Edmond with a fierce gaze.

“Why does she always have bad luck whenever she meets you? Last time it was a fire, and this time

she faints. Edmond, are you some kind of jinx reincarnated?”

Claudia couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Edmond’s face grew colder, and Ervin approached him, patting his shoulder. “Mr. Lamont, may I have a

word with you?”

The man had a handsome and mysterious face, with a layer of frost covering his eyes.

He took the first step and walked out, followed by Ervin.

There were only her and Waldron, Derrick left in the room.

Waldron glanced at Derrick and said, “Why don’t you go out too?”

“What? I can’t hear what you guys are saying?” Derrick pulled a chair and without saying a word, sat

down next to them. “You can treat me like air, I promise not to interrupt.”

Waldron glanced at him and looked at Claudia, “You know about the collaboration between my father

and the Clayton family, right?”

Claudia nodded.

Waldron impatiently kicked Derrick and said, “Dad is really confused. What good can come from the

Clayton family? I really don’t know what Rosalie has been feeding him.”

“It wasn’t Rosalie who drugged the love potion,” Claudia lowered her eyes, thinking of Thomas’ words,

and whispered, “It was Elva. She said that if the Clayton family agreed to cooperate, she would agree

to the surgery.”

Derrick looked over and frowned, saying, “Where did you hear this news? Elva wouldn’t do such a

thing, she had no reason to do it.”

Claudia chuckled silently.

Waldron glanced at Derrick and said, “Didn’t you say to treat you like air and promise not to interrupt?”

Derrick closed his mouth in dissatisfaction.

“Who told you this?” Waldron asked.

“Thomas.”

Thinking about Thoma s’s final decision, Claudia closed her eyes and said, “Elva threatened him with

her leg, and he said he had no choice. Before he signed the contract with Rosalie, I had already told

him about Rosalie’s character and style, but he still signed it.

Waldron fell silent, his eyes brewing with a slight anger, “What does Elva mean?”

He pushed Derrick irritably and said, “Aren’t you always defending her? You should know what’s going

on in her mind, like the worms in her stomach. Now, tell me!”

Derrick fell silent.

Waldron paced restlessly back and forth in the room.

“What should I do? Do I have to threaten my father by jumping off the building in order to possibly

change the contract now?”

Claudia thought about Pedro telling her that the driver would voluntarily surrender tomorrow.

She whispered softly, “If Rosalie had done something wrong, would it affect the cooperation between

the two families?”

“Of course, it has an impact, but the impact on the Clayton family is greater. We can try to minimize the

impact on our side,” Waldron gossiped as he leaned in. “Did you get the evidence that she harmed

your grandmother?”

“No,” Claudia said, looking at his slightly bruised face, “I got the evidence that she harmed you.”

Waldron: “F uck.”

Rosalie proudly returned to the Clayton Group, holding the victorious

contract.

As she entered the room, the members of the Clayton Group cast admiring glances at her.

Dempsey even directly brought her to the board of directors.

“Ladies and gentlemen, Rosalie has already obtained the cooperation agreement with the Friedan

family. We don’t need to worry about our company’s profits for the next three years. From now on, all

the single days off in our company will be changed to double days off, and

everyone’s salary will increase by fifteen percent.”

Dempsey bravely spoke up, and everyone gratefully looked at Rosalie.

A collaboration that can benefit every individual in the company, indicating that this collaboration is

indeed significant.

“We still relied on Ms. Clayton, otherwise our company wouldn’t have known what would happen.”

“Yeah, no wonder you’re a candidate for the executive director of our company, Dempsey. Your

daughter is just as good as your son!”

The board of directors consisted of a group of people who had once competed with Dempsey for

dominance. At this moment, when they saw Rosalie successfully securing the cooperation, they didn’t

hesitate to lavish praise on her.

This was a cooperation worth billions!

There were many companies that wanted to collaborate with the Friedan family for this project, but the

Clayton family was not the most advantageous. Being able to secure this collaboration is enough to

prove Rosalie’s ability.

Praised by the board of directors, Rosalie’s heart had already floated to the top.

As long as she established a firm position in the board of directors, she would not give away the shares

to anyone in the future.

She did not show her pride on her face, but stood confidently on the side.

When they had all said more or less the same thing, Rosalie finally spoke up, “I have some news to

share with everyone. Edmond and I have secretly gotten engaged, and we will be getting married in a

little

while. With the support of the Lamont family, we are certain to make it into the top three in Wyvernport.”

As soon as Rosalie finished speaking, the others were both shocked and delighted.

The Lamont family’s strength was second only to the Friedan family, and in some aspects, it was even

not inferior to the Friedan family.

If Rosalie married the Lamont family, it was a sure thing that the Clayton family would be among the top

three.

“Congratulations, Ms. Clayton.”

“Congratulations!”

After the meeting, Dempsey walked up to Rosalie and said, “We can’t afford any more mistakes this

time.”

“Don’t worry, Dad. The contracts have all been signed, and Elva has given us her word as well. There

won’t be any problems for sure.” Although the Friedan family’s three brothers are all capable, Thomas

is currently in charge of the Friedan family. As long as Thomas makes a decision, there is absolutely no

possibility of anyone else changing it.

However, her happiness did not last long as a phone call came in.

It was her virtual phone number, and Rosalie answered with a cold face.

“Ms. Clayton, Tom escaped…”

“What did you say?”

Tom was the driver.

Rosalie could hardly hold her phone steady as she trembled and asked, “How could you let him

escape? Didn’t I ask you to take care of him?”

“He was protected by a mysterious force, and we didn’t have enough manpower…”

Rosalie held her phone, stunned by the news for a moment.

Seeing her pale face and trembling shoulders, Dempsey walked over and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Rosalie grabbed Dempsey’s hand, panicked and at a loss for words, her voice trembling with fear, she

said, “Daddy, save me…”

“What happened?”

Rosalie told him everything in detail, and after she finished speaking, Dempsey slapped her: “You fool,

are you crazy? How dare you touch someone from the Friedan family!”

Rosalie was knocked down to the ground, she covered her face, and tears streamed down.

After she collided with Waldron, she was not afraid. She was also not afraid when threatened by Tom.

However, when she heard Tom disappear, she was truly scared.

Dempsey slapped her hard, but she couldn’t feel the pain. She stood there dazed for a moment and

exclaimed, “They say there is a mysterious force protecting him, father. I sent fifty people to deal with

him, yet he managed to escape. Someone must be deliberately opposing us…”

When it comes to doing things right, she immediately thought of Claudia.
