See You Never, Mr. Lamont

Chapter 244 Rage

“Uncle, you bought her a bag, isn’t she your mistress?” Arianna pointed at the bag in front of Felicia and questioned, “Why didn’t I see you buying a bag for your daughter? Is your own daughter inferior to your subordinate?” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Did you know how pitiful your cousin is? She was still borrowing money from Dempsey today…”

“Cough, cough…” Claudia coughed a few times, she hadn’t expected Arianna to bring up this matter.

“Did you borrow money from Dempsey?” Thomas furrowed his brow, looking at Claudia with some displeasure.

Claudia didn’t respond, just glanced at the bags in front of Felicia and counter-questioned, “You’re not really planning to give her these bags, are you?”

These bags and accessories added up to several million, which was not a small amount.

Thoma s’s face turned red instantly.

He indeed intended to pay. Felicia had come a long way to help, and this was considered a “thank you gift”.

But in front of his daughter and niece, he didn’t dare to admit it directly.

“Seraphina…” Felicia had just begun to explain when she was interrupted by Claudia’s laughter.

“Look at my memory.” Claudia joked about herself, “You guys are just colleagues, how could you give such an expensive bag?”

Felicia then said to the people standing at the counter, “You guys quickly settle the bill for our Ms. Greer, we’ll pay after she does.”

Felicia was taken aback, hastily looking towards Thomas, who slowly turned his head away.

This meant she was supposed to pay for it herself.

Pay by herself? All these things would cost several million, how could she, a company employee, have so much money?!

Thomas didn’t dare to speak either. If he paid in front of so many people, his reputation for infidelity would be confirmed.

Even if he wanted to pay, he couldn’t pay at that moment.

Just as Felicia was in a predicament, Claudia casually picked up the bag she had just sna tched from Arianna and asked, “Does Ms. Greer still want this bag?”

This was a new model that was hard to come by. It was rarely in stock at the counter, and even if it was, it required a purchase of hundreds of thousands of other items. Now, this bag was right in front of her, but she didn’t have the money to buy it.

Felicia’s face turned slightly pale, she gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words through her clenched teeth: “No more, it’s yours.”

The tone of her charity was as if it was truly something she had given to them.

A pang of pain surged in Felicia’s heart. Liking something was one thing, but not being able to afford it was another.

Claudia didn’t hesitate, she twisted the bag and handed it to Arianna: “If Ms. Greer can’t afford it, we will buy it.”

Her saying “can’t afford it” made Felicia’s face turn from pale to green with anger.

She was indeed shy, but being called out like this in person was tantamount to a direct loss of face for her.

During the process of Felicia paying, she occasionally glanced at Thomas, only to find him indifferent. However, when it was Claudia’s turn to pay, Thomas took the initiative to swipe his card.

This time, Claudia and Arianna tacitly did not refuse.

Felicia was so angry that her eyes were nearly popping out.

She suffered a great loss herself, yet allowed Claudia and her group to gain an advantage.

Thomas pretended not to see and said solemnly to Claudia, “I have a few questions to ask you.”

Arianna took the initiative to leave. Felicia glanced at Thomas and could only wait tearfully on the side, deliberately avoiding Arianna.

The image of Arianna slapping herself was still fresh in her mind, her face still throbbing faintly. Arianna was part of the Johnson family, and since Thomas didn’t say anything, she had no choice but to swallow her anger.

Watching Claudia’s calm demeanor, Thomas asked softly, “How is your mother now?”

After Emily said she wanted to break up with him, he didn’t sleep all night.

“After a good meal and sleep, I’m feeling pretty good,” Claudia said honestly, causing Thomas to choke until his face turned green.

“She usually likes you very much. You should persuade her. It’s not good for us to divorce at this age, especially it will affect your future choice of spouse.” Thoma s’s eyes darkened, his tone melancholic, “You are our daughter, you wouldn’t really want to just watch your parents get divorced, would you?”

“I only had a mom, no dad, and I respected any decision my mom made.”

Thomas miscalculated when he wanted her to be the mediator.

Unexpectedly, she was so indifferent. Thomas choked so hard that he couldn’t spit it out or swallow it.

“If you’ve done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear. Why would you need someone else to speak for you?” Claudia raised her eyebrows slightly, casting a casual glance at Felicia, who was pacing nervously not far away. “I don’t know what exactly your relationship with Felicia is, but it was foolish of you to have her explain to mom on your behalf yesterday.”

“That wasn’t an explanation, it was adding fuel to the fire.”

Thoma s’s face suddenly changed, slowly shrouded in a layer of gloom and frost.

He had thought Felicia’s explanation would be more convincing, but now that he thought about it, it did seem somewhat inappropriate.

“The deed was done, I knew I had issues, but I am your father… Seraphina, I didn’t want to divorce your mother.”

Thoma s’s voice softened, subtly tinged with a hint of helplessness.

Seeing him like this, Claudia had no syn

was somewhat mocking: “If you were truly remorseful, you should have kept your distance from this Felicia. No one likes warming. someone else’s central heating.”

After speaking, Claudia glanced at the time on her phone and laughed listlessly, “I’ve said what I needed to say. Oh, and thank you for your bag.”

Thomas spent quite a bit of money today, it’s always better to spend on one’s own family than on strangers.

Thoma s’s eyes slightly lowered, his lips sealed in silence,

After Claudia and the others had left, Felicia hurried over, “Mr. Friedan…”

“Go to the branch office,” Thomas suddenly said.

Felicia was taken aback, “Mr. Friedan, what do you mean by that…”

“I was planning to open a branch office in Sea City, and I wanted you to help me assemble a team.”

Sea City… was a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from Wyvernport.

“Mr. Friedan… If you want to keep your distance from me, just say it. There’s no need to go to such lengths,” Felicia forced a bitter smile, her

voice choked with emotion. “I’m an employee of the company. I’ll do whatever the company needs me to do.”

The change in Thomas was so drastic. Felicia knew, Claudia must have said something to him.

The thought of being forced to spend a lot of money today made Felicia feel suffocated.

She gritted her teeth, and said softly, “Mr. Friedan, Elva has been hospitalized.”

Thomas furrowed his brow, “Why are you in the hospital again?”

Over the past six months, the place he visited most was the hospital.

Felicia’s expression was serious, “Her leg was broken, she needs to wear a prosthetic again. It broke last night at the Johnson family’s place. Although she never said anything, I believe this incident must be related to the Johnson family.”

Upon hearing about the Johnson family, anger surged up from the depths of Thoma s’s heart.

“Dalton punched him yesterday, and his face still hurts a bit now. It’s one thing to hurt him, but why take it out on a child? Emily doesn’t like Elva, and the rest of the Johnson family might have misunderstood Elva, but that’s no reason to break Elva’s leg…” At this point, Felicia deliberately paused, “Mr. Friedan, this is just my speculation, perhaps things aren’t that complicated.”

“It’s not that complicated…” Thomas sneered, “If Dalton could hit me in front of so many people, what couldn’t they do?”

“I was going to ask them today, why they treated my daughter this way!”

Upon hearing that Thomas was going to the Johnson family, Felicia panicked, “Mr. Friedan, it’s not a good time for you to go now. At this time, the Johnson family is probably home.”

“All present? Perfect, I haven’t settled yesterday’s account, with them yet!” Thomas stormed into the elevator, ignoring Claudia’s advice.
