Chapter 85: Chapter 87

Chapter 87 His Warning

Seraphina, the fourth Miss of the Friedan family, went missing.

Ervin’s words were both a reminder and a warning.

Claudia was not only his ex-wife but also a member of the Friedan family,

“I knew she was Seraphina, but it seems like you all didn’t treat her as family,” Edmond said in a low,

slow tone, seemingly casual but hitting the nail on the head.

Ervin squinted his eyes and remembered his younger brother, Derrick

He restrained his smile, and his voice suddenly became colder and deeper: “I don’t care about anyone

else, as long as I’m here, she will never be mistreated.”

“Mr. Lamont, I asked you back when we were at the hospital, and you had already given up at that

time.”

“You have a bad memory, and I don’t mind reminding you again. It was you who gave up on her first!”

Edmond’s pitch-black pupils contracted suddenly, resembling a deep

Vortex.

He slowly lowered his eyes, his Adam’s apple moved, and in his h oa rse voice, it seemed like a fierce

beast was imprisoned, saying, “I regret it.”

Ervin was taken aback.

Regretted?

In his impression, Edmond was always a person with a strong self- esteem, whether in the past or now,

otherwise he wouldn’t have ended up in such a situation with his sister.

But now I regret this, could it be that I made a mistake?

Ervin smiled and said helplessly, “It’s not that I don’t want to let you see her, it’s that she doesn’t want

to see you.”

Edmond nodded, and just when Ervin thought he had given up, Edmond by passed him and strode

toward the gate,

Ervin didn’t react for a moment.

“Hello… Edmond!” Ervin exclaimed anxiously. Just then, Claudia and he collided head-on.

There was also a man standing beside Claudia.

The man was wearing a black sweater with casual pants, and a long coat covered his knees. He was

also wearing a painter’s hat, which was both casual and artistic.

When Horace saw Edmond, a faint smile appeared on his face. “Edmond, long time no see.

The last time he saw Edmond was at the national math competition, where he lost to Edmond and

came in second place.

Edmond was supposed to represent Adron in the competition, but he gave up for some unknown

reason.

This matter left a deep impression on Horace.

Losing to a play boy is his shame.

Later, it was said that Edmond changed his character after taking over

the Lamont Group. However, his true attention to Edmond began when his relationship with Claudia

was exposed.

Edmond glanced at him and didn’t respond. Instead, he said to Claudia, “Are you free now? I want to

talk to you about something.”

Chat, about what?

Talking about Rosalie?

Claudia’s heart sank, and she shook her head blankly, “I didn’t have time.”

I had time and I didn’t have time.

Rosalie was his fiancée.

He probably wouldn’t forgive her.

She never thought she would receive his forgiveness.

Edmond’s expression remained unchanged as he stared at her intently, “Are you avoiding me?”

Claudia: “…

“Mr. Lamont, although you are Miss Seraphina’s ex-husband, you should still be mindful of your own

status. Being persistent and annoying will only make people dislike you.” Horace’s beautiful almond-

shaped eyes narrowed into a crescent moon shape. It seemed like he couldn’t understand the warning

in Edmond’s eyes as he turned to Claudia and said, “Miss Seraphina, you mentioned earlier about

showing me the tourist attractions in Wyvernport. Let’s go now.”

Claudia nodded, without looking at Edmond, and said to Ervin, “I’m going out first, I won’t be back for

lunch.”

After saying these words, he quickly walked to the side, as if in a hurry to shake off someone, taking

fast strides.

This time, Edmond did not persistently pursue.

Ervin patted his shoulder knowingly and said, “Once some people are missed, it becomes difficult to

catch up.”

Difficult to chase, but not impossible to chase.

Edmond’s pupils deepened slightly as he watched Claudia walk away.

No one knew what he was thinking.

After they had walked a distance, Claudia finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Horace and

apologized, “Thank you, I’m sorry for using you just now.”

Horace waved his hand, a hint of a smile appearing on his handsome face. “This is not taking

advantage, it is me willingly helping out. I stayed overnight at the Friedan family’s place yesterday after

drinking too much. It’s my turn to say thank you.”

Claudia was very impressed by Horace’s response.

The mission in Enigma mentioned Horace, although she was already in charge and could choose not

to take on any more tasks, there were still some missions she wanted to accept.

If one always stays in the position of management without going down to the grassroots level, it is easy

to lose control over the content and the grassroots.

At work, she preferred to take control.

Since there was a task to approach Horace, she took the initiative to approach him and give it a try.

“Miss Seraphinà,.. Can I call you Seraphina from now on?” Horace asked.

Claudia fell silent and whispered, “Call me Claudia.”

She was used to this name and suddenly changing it, she still couldn’t fully get used to it.

Horace nodded, “Claudia, did you still like him?”

When Claudia heard the words “Claudia,” she paused for a moment.

As for liking Edmond…

She lowered her eyelashes and curled her lips into a slight smile, saying, “I don’t like it anymore.”

I didn’t like it anymore, I didn’t like it as much as before.

Beloved ones, are like a tree rooted in a place, she cannot be moved, but she will never water this tree

again.

Over time, that tree would gradually wither.

Claudia didn’t see it, but there was a hint of surprise in Horace’s eyes after she finished saying she

didn’t like it.

He didn’t like fighting for love. If she still liked Edmond, he would withdraw.

But if she didn’t like it…

Then he had to bravely pursue.

“Claudia, I can…” he was about to confess, when suddenly a female voice interrupted him.

“Claudia.”

Claudia looked at the newcomer in astonishment and said, “Mom!”

After she finished speaking, she immediately stopped talking and glanced at Cicely’s expression.

Seeing that she was not angry, a vague idea had already formed in her mind.

Did my mother-in-law regain her memory?

“I have something to tell you,” Cicely said with a serious expression, smiling at Horace. “Sorry to

interrupt you, but I have something important to discuss with my daughter-in-law. Can you give us

some time?”

Horace glanced at Claudia and saw her nod. He then smiled and said, “No problem, you can chat with

Claudia.”

Cicely glanced at Horace again and immediately recognized him.

As the heir of the Ferguson family, Horace often made headlines. Although she rarely got involved in

Vencumfield’s affairs, she also spent some time there when she was young.

Seeing Horace at this moment, it seemed like memories from the past came flooding back, and his

gaze appeared somewhat distant.

After Horace walked over, she remembered the purpose of her visit today.

“Claudia, my memory has been restored.”

Getting confirmation, Claudia smiled with relief and said, “That’s good.”

Cicely hesitated to speak and then said, “Before, when I was mean to you, ah! I was really confused in

my mind. Don’t take those things to heart…”

“It’s okay, Mom. I knew it all along,” Claudia always respected her mother-in-law.

In the Lamont family, Edmond was her guiding light, while her mother-in-law was her protective armor,

and also the rare warmth she had in these years.

She knew Cicely wouldn’t come to her for no reason.

“Mom, did you come to see me this time for something?”
