Chapter 194 Forget It “Ms. Lloyd, thank you for coming to our engagement party,” Arlene chuckled, breaking the awkward silence between them. Yvette, standing next to Claudia, couldn’t help but take a few more glances at her. Arlene was much more pleasing to the eye than Rosalie. Arlene turned to Yvette and said to Claudia, “Is this Ms. Lloyd’s friend? Indeed, beautiful women have beautiful friends. I hope you all have a great time-today.” Claudia nodded with a smile and walked toward the house side by side with Yvette, passing by Hugh with a vacant look in his eyes. Hugh pursed his lips and hesitated as Claudia entered the room. “Ms. Lloyd, after the engagement banquet, I have something to tell you.” Upon hearing these words, Arlene’s tense heart immediately relaxed. Great, Hugh finally took this step. Hugh made a mistake, but if it could be resolved peacefully, it would be beneficial for him and for himself. As Dempsey’s illegitimate daughter, she had long known that marriage was not up to her and would eventually become a sacrifice for the Clayton family’s alliance. Her mother was just a mistress who couldn’t be seen in public. She had been supported by Dempsey for so many years and had long lost her independence. But she was different. She couldn’t decide her birth, but T she could gain a new life by marrying someone. Rosalie gave up the opportunity, and of course she had to seize the opportunity, which was Hugh! Claudia turned around and glanced at Hugh with a hint of surprise, then looked at the joyful Arlene next to her, understanding in her heart. This Arlene is a smart person, she must have said something to Hugh,
“Okay, congratulations on your engagement. After the ceremony, let’s have a good chat.” Since Hugh extended an olive branch, she naturally accepted it as it is. Even just one more piece of evidence could deepen Rosalie’s charges. After Claudia walked in, she casually found a corner to chat with Yvette. Yvette seemed calm, but her eyes kept darting around, and she remained restless in her seat. Claudia knew that she was looking for Everett. “Let’s go,” Claudia said as she picked up her glass and stood up. Yvette nervously grabbed her and asked, “Where are we going?” “Look for Everett.” Under the bright lights, Yvette’s face instantly turned red, and she stammered, “Forget it, I don’t want to ask anymore.” What’s the use of asking clearly? She’s already engaged, can she really break off the engagement for her?
Claudia saw that she was backing down and immediately grabbed her hand, pulling her into the crowd. The person involved may be confused, but the onlooker sees clearly. If some matters are not clarified, they may become a lifelong regret. She pulled Yvette through the crowd, and because the target was clear, she spotted Everett at a glance. Seeing Everett, Yvette stopped in her tracks, grabbed Claudia’s hand, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears. “Claudia, forget it, there’s no need to ask.” Everett was holding a glass of wine and chatting with someone, his arm being held by a stunning woman with a perfect figure. The woman had long, straight black hair that just covered her perky buttocks, and her facial features were as delicate as those of an actor in a TV drama. The beautiful woman was Nicole, who was engaged to Everett. Claudia’s eyes narrowed, and she instantly became angry. What is the difference between Everett’sNôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
behavior and that of a scu mbag? Even if the misunderstanding was resolved, Yvette would still have to endure endless grievances after marrying Everett. “If you don’t want to ask, then let’s go find something else to have fun with.” Claudia gently comforted, while Yvette stood still, her fingers clenched into a fist, seemingly lost in thought. Suddenly, she lifted her eyelids and said, “Since we’re here, we can’t go back empty-handed.” Didn’t Everett say to her to wait and that the engagement was fake? Then she personally tested it to see if it was fake or not. In Claudia’s astonished gaze, Yvette casually picked up a glass of wine and strode toward Everett, who immediately became panicked. “Yvette, what happened to you…..” Yvette raised her hand and the glass of red wine splashed onto Everett’s face. The scene suddenly fell silent, Everett’s lips twitched, he touched his face, and in the moment when Yvette turned around, he grabbed her hand and walked toward the nearby balcony. When passing by Claudia, Everett paused for a moment, ignoring Yvette’s struggle, and brought her to the balcony. When there was no one else around, Everett’s face finally turned cold. “Yvette, have you gone mad?” “Yes, I was crazy!” Yvette trembled with anger, tears swirling in her eyes. “And it was because of you that I went crazy!” “Tomorrow’s news will write ‘Mistress Yvette couldn’t bear to see Everett and Nicole together and threw red wine in their faces’, how about that, isn’t it exciting?” Everett frowned, seeing her crying with tears streaming down her face. He softened his heart and held her hand, saying, “Don’t say anything, you’re not the other woman, you’re my wife.” “Haha.” Yvette laughed so hard that tears came out. “I am your wife, your mother doesn’t know, your father doesn’t know, and that Nicole doesn’t know either. Besides you and me, who knows that we got
married recently?!” Everett remained silent, his eyes flickering with emotions. The second day after Claudia and Edmond had an accident, they bumped into each other at the hospital. Edmond had a sudden idea and said he wanted to marry her. Claudia and her friends made a big fuss about this matter, which also affected many couples. They all felt the need to cherish their loved and Claudia and Yvette were one of those couples. ones, “Did you feel impulsive that day?” Yvette sneered and took a step back, increasing the distance between them. “Actually, I regret it too. Hurry up, let’s go change this certificate tomorrow. I was foolish to believe your sweet words and get on your thief ship.” “The pirate ship…” Everett’s face darkened. “Do you know how many people want to marry me without me even giving them a second glance? Keeping our marriage certificate a secret from my family and you was my commitment. As for this engagement, Yvette, that Nicole girl, she never…” “Enough! You don’t need to say anymore.” Yvette lowered her hands from covering her ears, her big eyes devoid of any warmth. “No matter what the reason was, Everett, from the moment you got engaged to her, you were tainted…..” “Purity is the best dowry for a man, and you……. are so filthy that it disgusts me!” She pushed him forcefully and ran out. Everett was so anxious to go back, but he ran into Nicole head-on. Nicole teasingly handed him a cigarette, her beautiful big eyes blinking: “How about I go explain it?” Everett closed his eyes and sighed, “No need.” Everett took the cigarette she handed him with a bitter smile, and the two of them started smoking on the balcony together. “Once my grandmother’s birthday is over tomorrow, I will tell my 5478
parents that I was pregnant with someone else’s child and want to divorce you,” Nicole said, taking a deep drag of her cigarette and casually blowing a smoke ring, appearing both desolate and captivating. This was their agreement, he helped Nicole arrange a fake marriage, and once Nicole’s grandmother’s birthday was over and they returned to their hometown, they would cancel the engagement. His mother had told him that as long as he got married, she wouldn’t care about whatever he did in the future. So, he found Nicole, but he didn’t expect that Nicole already had someone in her heart. However, the two of them hit it off and performed this play together. “She didn’t know about our fake engagement, so I think you should explain it to her sooner rather than later. Misunderstandings can easily escalate if not clarified.” C Nicole’s tone was flat, but her eyes carried a sense of desolation and melancholy. “Never mind, trust is mutual.” He had already explained to Yvette, but she didn’t believe it herself. Nicole’s lips moved slightly, and she eventually let out a deep sigh. Yvette ran a distance and then stopped in her tracks. As she walked, she looked back, but all she could see was the backs of Everett and Nicole standing side by side. Tears fell silently. “Yvette…” Claudia’s voice brought back her thoughts, and when Yvette looked around, everyone was staring at her as if they had seen a ghost. Yvette chuckled lightly, then looked up, as if reborn. “I was fine, let’s go and have some fun!” “Looking for some fun?” a voice interrupted, and surprisingly, it was Gilda. Ģilda was wearing a black evening gown, with a small shawl draped around her shoulders, and her eyes were sparkling with a bright light. She glanced at Claudia, her gaze intense.
Since Claudia had an accident, the attitude of the Friedan family members has clearly shown everyone that Claudia is the most favored daughter of the Friedan family. Elva has lost her status, and now Claudia is the most prominent member of the Friedan family. Even if Claudia was looked down upon, she still had to bow down and please others. “Seraphina, this place is not fun. Let me take you to a fun place!” Looking for fun, who doesn’t know? In the whole Wyvernport, besides Nicole, she is the most skilled at playing. When Claudia heard her say that she wanted to take them to a fun place, Claudia instinctively felt that it was not a good place. She intended to refuse, but Yvette smiled and said, “Okay.” “Yvette…” Yvette held Claudia’s hand, her eyes turning as red as a rabbit: “Claudia, I want to let loose for a bit.” Unable to bear seeing her so upset, Claudia took a deep breath and reluctantly nodded. The indulgence she thought of, at most, was going clubbing, drinking, singing karaoke, or simply releasing her emotions. She said to Gilda, “Then you go and make arrangements.” Gilda nodded eagerly and walked to the side to make a phone call. “Hello, Kathryn, arrange ten young masters for us, no, thirty! They should be handsome, what’s there to fear? Our Seraphina is rich!”
