Chapter 170 Elva’s Mysterious Friend “I knew you would be curious about this,” Ervin chuckled knowingly. Last time he mentioned this organization, Claudia tried her best to control her surprise, but he still noticed it. She might not be interested in other things, but this organization, her sister definitely is interested in. Embarrassed by Ervin’s teasing gaze, Claudia coughed and said, “Ervin, come in and have a seat. Let me quickly tidy up.” It was said to be a simple cleanup, and indeed it was finished in just over ten minutes. Her skin was good, with defined features. Just a simple foundation was enough to catch people’s attention. This time, she wore a pink hooded jacket, with her hair twisted into a bun on top of her head, revealing a smooth forehead and more distinct facial features. Ervin glanced at her, with a few traces of gentle appreciation in his eyes. Claudia, like her three brothers, inherited her father’s height and her mother’s appearance. Her younger sister, with a charming appearance, was beautiful yet elegant, leaving a lasting impression. Even if she entered the entertainment industry, she would have a great advantage. “Does my sister have any thoughts about entering the entertainment industry?” he asked with a smile. The Friedan family had enough resources in the entertainment industry 0.00% 17:41 apter 40 iVouchers for her to have a good time in the entertainment industry. Claudia quickly waved her hand and said, “Forget it, I am naturally unlucky.”
If she had really entered the entertainment industry, she would have been criticized to death by fans. Take Pedro’s fans for example, these people would definitely become her permanent haters. Ervin smiled and thought to himself, “This little sister has a rather low- key personality.” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Claudia returned to the Friedan’s manor in Ervin’s car. Since Emily woke up, the atmosphere in the entire estate has become much more relaxed. The maids no longer have to stay by the side of a vegetative person every day, nor do they have to take care of someone with a me ntal disorder. Everyone in the estate is overjoyed. When Claudia came in, the farewell dinner had not yet started. Elva was sitting in a wheelchair, holding a Buddhist scripture in her hand, and her whole demeanor seemed much more dejected. In just one day, Elva seemed like a completely different person. When Claudia saw her, a glimmer flashed in her eyes, then she lowered her head, neither greeting nor wanting to look at her more. Claudia didn’t mind, she wasn’t here to see her today anyway, She sat on the sofa, playing with her phone boredly. “Rumor has it that Edmond’s mother left a will, giving you all of her assets,” Elva’s words were filled with a hint of sarcasm. Claudia looked up at her and smiled, “You seem to be well-informed.” The news of last night spread to her ears so quickly. Elva looked at her jealously and said, “Congratulations, you became a rich woman overnight.” As Edmond’s mother, Cicely was originally married into the Lamont family with a hefty dowry. In addition to the Lamont family’s development over the years, their wealth has long been incomparable, conservatively estimated to be in the billions. So much money, all of it was given to Claudia. Not to mention her, even the other members of the Lamont family couldn’t believe that Cicely would give her fortune to an outsider. Elva’s gaze shifted to her stomach, and her eyes flickered: “The child in your belly, is it Edmond’s?” Otherwise, how could Cicely have written her will out of the blue? She asked Derrick about the baby in Claudia’s belly, but Derrick said that only Claudia herself knew about it. Even now, Claudia has not disclosed who the father of her child is. “If you hadn’t done those dishonest things, you would have been a wealthy woman by now,” Claudia
replied with a meaningful smile, avoiding a direct answer. “I gave up my shares in the Friedan family, as long as you were doing well, my portion would have been yours too. Unfortunately, you ruined it all yourself.” Upon hearing these words, Elva’s face froze for a moment. She realized that Claudia was no longer a part of the Friedan family, and if she didn’t associate herself with Rosalie’s corrupt ways, perhaps her inheritance wouldn’t have changed after all. Hasn’t it really changed? Chapter 170 Elva’s Mysterious 40 Vouchers Thinking about Waldron and Ervin’s attitude, Elva sneered and said, “Some things changed the moment you appeared. Ervin and Waldron were devoted to you, and even mother liked you more. Everything would not have changed if you hadn’t shown up.” Upon hearing these words, Claudia smiled and remained silent. She thought Elva had truly changed for the better, but she didn’t expect her thoughts to still be so malicious. Birds of a feather flock together, no wonder she could become good friends with Rosalie. “I’m really sorry, I didn’t expect myself to show up either,” Claudia shrugged, wearing a helpless smile on her face. It was an accident that Waldron was able to find her. Elva saw Claudia’s helpless expression as a strong display of boasting. Elva’s face turned pale and then blue, her lips trembling like a sieve. Some people are just lucky, and it really makes others jealous. Fortunately, she knew a lot of people, so as long as Eileen came tonight, she would be able to change her situation. There was absolutely no way she would go to the old house. Claudia ignored her and soon the rest of the Friedan family arrived, and everyone rushed to the dining table. Thomas looked around and said to Elva, “Hasn’t your friend arrived yet?” Elva smiled and replied, “She said she was already at the door, but…”
“She said that she had a special identity and couldn’t let too many people know about it, otherwise the people in Enigma would punish her.” Claudia’s lips curled into a cold and alluring smile. She didn’t want too many people to know her identity, yet here she was, attending such a dinner party. This person’s skill of playing mysterious was quite impressive. “But I told her that my family is important to me, so she agreed to meet you all, but…” Elva glanced at Claudia, hesitatingly, “She has a bad impression of my sister and said there’s no need to meet her. How about my sister temporarily avoiding the meeting?” Everyone looked at Claudia. Claudia sneered in silence, thinking it was unnecessary to meet. If it weren’t for Enigma’s rules, she had no intention of coming over for this meal. She didn’t expect the other party to start showing off. Upon hearing the person calling Claudia’s name and refusing to see her, Emily’s face immediately turned cold. “Where did you make friends with such uncultured people? How can she come to our house as a guest and have the audacity to choose who she wants to see? Since she doesn’t want to see Seraphina, we don’t need to see her either.” She suddenly grabbed Thoma s’s hand and said, “We can’t meet this important guest. Please have someone close the door and don’t let anyone in.” This was a preemptive strike, directly driving people away. Thomas frowned when he heard Elva’s words. He didn’t expect that meeting someone would require so much. Directly driving people away is not acceptable, as it will directly offend them. He was not afraid of this person, but he had to be wary of the organization behind this person. Elva was afraid that Thomas would really drive the person away, so she quickly explained to Emily, “Mommy, that person is from Enigma. We can only win over people from Enigma, not offend them. Besides, knowing this person is also beneficial to our family. Don’t believe me? Ask Dad.” She looked anxiously at Thomas. Thomas nodded and softly said to Emily, “This organization is indeed powerful, but quite mysterious.
We mustn’t offend them in any way.” After he finished speaking, he looked at Claudia, wanting to say something but hesitated. Claudia sneered, Thomas hoped she would take the initiative.
