Chapter 241 Let’s Survive First
“I… I didn’t want to come here initially, it was my friend who brought me.” Elva explained briefly, “Derrick, did my leg break again?”
A lump caught in Derrick’s throat.
He glanced at her leg, sighed slightly, and nodded gently, “The doctor said we need to replace the prosthetic. I’ve already asked for leave from school for you, but this happening right after the start of the term has made the principal very unhappy with you.”
Elva lowered her head in shame.
She didn’t dare to tell Derrick the truth, let alone let him seek justice for her.
The matter about Horace, she could only swallow hard and keep it to herself, no one dared to mention it.
At the Johnson family’s party, the atmosphere remained lively. People were gathered in small groups, discussing topics of their own interest, and no one paid attention to this minor incident.
The incident with Elva did not have serious consequences because Derrick discovered it in time. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Due to the deliberate praise of the Johnson family, Claudia became famous and was the celebrity of the entire Vencumfield socialite circle that night.
Having declined the person who offered her a toast, Claudia sat on the sofa, somewhat weary.
Waldron sat casually next to her, holding his drink, his long legs crossed, laughing with amusement.
“Claudia, did you know Magnus?”
He had just seen Claudia and Magnus apparently having a chat.
That man wore a mask and face covering wherever he went, acting extremely pretentious, as if he couldn’t bear to be seen by others. Although he was curious about such people, he didn’t have a good impression of them.
Thinking of Magnus, Claudia’s brow twitched slightly.
“Waldron, did you feel like he was a person?”
“Like who?” Waldron squinted, “Edmond?”
“Except for the name, nothing else was similar.”
Waldron’s smirk was nonchalant. Although he was grateful to Edmond
for saving his sister, it didn’t mean he wished the man to come back from the dead.
My sister would definitely be happier with Horace than with him.
“Sis, Edmond is already dead, he can’t possibly have a resurrection armor every time from the Lamont family, can he?”
Tristen’s resurrection was already a miracle. If Edmond could survive being bombed, he would really have to question whether he was living in a magical world.
“Let’s not even discuss whether he could survive or not, even if his death could be faked, what would be the purpose?”
Such a great effort was made to do something, there must have been a purpose.
Claudia remained silent, realizing that what Magnus was smoking wasn’t an e-cigarette, and slightly pursed her lips.
Edmond, afraid of fire, had always smoked e-cigarettes, while Magnus, far from fearing fire, constantly fiddled with a lighter in his hand.
Seeing Claudia like this, Waldron paused slightly, “You’re about to marry Horace, even if Edmond really came back to life, you wouldn’t plan to abandon Horace, would you?”
Claudia chuckled, “We’ll have to wait until he comes back to life to
discuss that.”
Could it really come back to life?
Waldron smiled without a word.
“By the way Waldron, I was going to attend the organization’s meeting tomorrow. Could you explain it to my grandparents for me then?”
Only Waldron knew that she was a member of the Enigma organization. The power structure of Vencumfield was complex, and she didn’t want to fully reveal her identity yet.
Hearing that she was going to organize a meeting, Waldron raised his eyebrows in curiosity, “You guys actually have meetings? Don’t worry, I’ll find an excuse for you tomorrow, they definitely won’t find out.”
Claudia nodded:
She hadn’t appeared in the organization for several years. Last time, Pedro even said that rumors were circulating in the organization that she had died, and they were preparing to elect a new leader.
Even if she didn’t want to show up, she had to make an appearance in the organization tomorrow
In the living room of the Fleming’s manor, Magnus sat in a chair, looking at the disheveled Eileen, his eyes narrowing slightly.
“Did you say the Enigma organization’s conference is tomorrow?”
“Yes, I know the place. I can take you there if you want, Mr. Lamont.”
A glint of ferocity flashed in Eileen’s eyes.
Anyway, she was no longer a part of the organization, she was going to risk everything tomorrow.
She, Claudia, was also a member of the organization. She was, so why should she be ostracized by Claudia?
Even if she, Claudia, was a senior executive, she still had to report it.
She just wouldn’t believe that she, Claudia, had no dirt on her.
She was not having a good time, and she absolutely couldn’t let Claudia have one either!
