Chapter 89 She’s Popular

He quickly sent Edmond the location and message: “Your ex-wife is having dinner with Horace. How

did you chase after her? Your efficiency is so poor, do you want to come over?”

Edmond: I didn’t go.

Did the news come back so quickly?

Everett smirked and said, “Can’t believe it, huh? I saw them holding hands, oh my, hugging, they’ll be

kissing in no time…..”

Edmond: …

Everett: Really didn’t come over?

Ten minutes later.

Edmond: I arrived.

་་

Everett, with great interest, put down his phone and said to the person in front of him who was talking

non-stop, “I will consider what you just said. I have made plans to meet other friends here. Should you

leave first or should I leave first?”

“I’ll go first, I’ll go first.” The person tactfully stood up, nodded and bowed to him, and soon ran out.

When Edmond came in, he immediately saw Everett.

In just a moment, Everett had already found a more secluded place: “This place is specially chosen by

me for you. We can see them, but they can’t see us.”

This place was

middle, which not only provided them with cover but also did not hinder them from peeking.

“Ever since Horace came in, his eyes haven’t moved away from your ex-wife’s face. I guess he’s really

interested in Claudia.”

Everett told him about the results he had observed.

Edmond’s gaze was fixed on Claudia. Last time, she was with Pedro here, and this time she had

switched to another man.

This ex-wife had more charm with men than he had imagined.

He raised the corners of his mouth, and the curve that formed was as cold as ice and snow.

“I heard that Horace was the man that all the Vencumfield socialites wanted to marry. She has good

taste!”

In a plain tone, but Everett couldn’t help but shudder, silently complaining in his heart: “He may speak

nicely, but who knows what he’s really thinking.”

Just as the two of them were staring at the table in the distance, a person dressed as a chef came out

and led them to a private room.

Everett’s face showed a hint of strangeness as he saw Claudia and Horace leave.

“The chef of this teahouse only served three customers a day. Horace did this in order to win the favor

of a beauty. He spared no expense.”

By the end of the day, it was unlikely that anyone would come up with less than a few hundred

thousand.

Edmond watched as the two entered the private room, casting a

sidelong glance at Everett and speaking in a casual tone, “This restaurant is the property of the

Ferguson family.”

“How did you know?” Everett was surprised for a moment, then realized, “Did you check?”

“No need to check.” Edmond picked up a glass of water and took a small sip.

No need to check, as he was familiar enough with the Ferguson family.

Everett watched as Claudia and Horace entered the private room, casting a quick glance at his good

friend.

Once in a private space, if Horace were a bit rogue, many things could by accomplished

Everett, afraid that his friend would think too much, changed the subject and asked, “I heard that the

Clayton family had been trying to find a way to rescue Rosalie.”

“Did the Clayton family not ask for your help?”

Based on Dempsey’s character, he would definitely have sought Edmond’s help.

“Fortunately, you two weren’t engaged at that time, otherwise you would have had to take action even if

you didn’t want to,” Everett said while glancing at his friend’s expression, trying to gauge his thoughts.

“If you really wanted to win Claudia back, your attitude toward Rosalie had to be clear.”

Everett’s words deepened Edmond’s pupils.

“This time, not only Claudia, but also the Friedan family got involved. Once you help, you not only

offend Claudia, but also definitely offend

people from the Friedan family. Edmond, I advise you to think twice. Rosalie is not worth it.”

This was the first time he seriously said that Rosalie was not worth it.

In the past, Rosalie disguised herself as a kind and innocent little girl, not only was she deceived, but

Edmond was also undoubtedly deceived.

I don’t know how Rosalie has become so bold now, she even dares to hire someone to commit murder.

If she only made some minor mistakes, it wouldn’t matter, but when it comes to a matter involving

human life, he must persuade his good friend no matter what.

Edmond lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, casting a shadow on his eyelids.

Based on Rosalie’s relationship with him, he would indeed not let go.

But this time. Rosalie really went too far.

“Don’t worry, I wouldn’t help her.”

When Edmond said this, a weight was lifted off Everett’s heart.

If Edmond liked Rosalie, he would definitely save her this time no matter what, but if he liked Claudia,

he would not extend a helping hand to Rosalie.

On the day when the Friedan family gathered for a family reunion, he noticed Claudia’s attitude was

very clear. She had an irreconcilable feud with Rosalie, and Edmond would never waver.

He didn’t want his friends to miss true love like he did.

Since that was the case, he had to help his good friend.

Everett suddenly stood up and walked toward the private room.

Edmond furrowed his thick eyebrows and asked, “What do you want to do?”

“Nothing.”

Just helping you.

Seeing Everett walking toward the private room, Edmond had a bad premonition.

Everett stood by the door and knocked, then winked at Edmond who was not far away.

Edmond: …

The one who opened the door was Horace. He saw Everett and slightly startled, “Everett?”

“Horace!” Everett laughed heartily as he patted him on the shoulder. “I was just doubting when I saw

your back earlier, but I didn’t expect it to be you!”

Horace smiled politely and said, “It’s me, but I had something to do today. I’ll talk to you another day…”

Before the words were finished, Everett had already “accidentally” pushed open the door and, upon

seeing Claudia, pretended to be surprised, saying, “Oh dear, did I interrupt you?”

Horace: ”

Excuse me, did I disturb you? Are you blind and unable to see?

“Blind” Everett, a familiar face, sat on another straw mat and poured himself another cup of tea.

“Horace, my dad told me to find you and have a chat. He said he really wants to have another drink

with your dad, but unfortunately, they haven’t had the chance in all these years. By the way, has your

dad come to Wyvernport?”

Upon hearing the conversation between the parents, Claudia stood up and said to Horace, “Actually, I

have something to attend to, so maybe I should go first…”

Horace was about to speak when Everett interrupted, saying, “Ms. Lloyd, if you have something to

attend to, please go ahead. Horace and I were just about to have a drink.”

After finishing speaking, he handed Horace a freshly filled tea.

“Come on, let’s have a drink.”

Horace’s emotions were extremely complicated at this moment. If it weren’t for Claudia being here, he

would have kicked Everett out with one foot.

This kind of person, he saw for the first time without any foresight.

Claudia had already wanted to go out, and when she saw Everett coming over, it gave her the perfect

excuse to leave.

She didn’t mind having a meal with Horace, but eating together in a highly secluded private room made

her feel uneasy instead.

She had accomplished the task close to Horace, and if the employer does not assign any new tasks,

she will not further engage in close contact with Horace.

After thinking it through, she greeted Horace and quickly walked out.

The moment she stepped out of the door, she took a deep breath.

Just as she was walking out, someone approached her with graceful

steps.

His handsome features were covered with a layer of frost, his brows furrowed, and his whole body

exuded a dangerous aura.

Claudia widened her eyes.

Edmond!
