See You Never, Mr. Lamont

Chapter 260 I’m Sorry

Waldron immediately saw Derrick’s soft heart and rolled his eyes in resignation.

Just then, Waldron’s phone vibrated. It was a message from his media friend: Elva had called the reporters to the mall to frame Claudia for a scam. I managed to intercept the news before it was released. You might want to take some action. This news won’t do Seraphina any good if it gets out.

Upon seeing this, Waldron was beside himself with anger.

This friend was his classmate, who had numerous connections in the media. Ever since the news about Claudia getting involved with the media broke out, he had asked this friend to pay close attention early on. Anything related to Seraphina, he had him intercept in advance.

No, another piece of news stopped him, but he never imagined that this news was caused by Elva.

Upon seeing Derrick and Elva harmoniously on the phone again, Waldron stormed over to Derrick and coldly said, “Derrick, there’s something important I need to discuss with you. Hang up the phone first.”

Disconnected?

Derrick was taken aback. He was still on the phone with Elva, and hanging up abruptly was somewhat impolite.

Derrick ignored Waldron, asking the person on the phone, “How much do you want?”

He couldn’t bear to watch Elva being kicked out of the hospital with his own eyes, so he decided to make it quick.

On the phone, Elva’s voice was firm and confident: “I want ten million.”

Ten million was enough to cure her and her brother’s illness, and they wouldn’t have to worry for the rest of their lives.

Ten million?!

Derrick furrowed his brow, not expecting Elva to come up with this number.

“I remember your surgery didn’t cost this much.”

After deducting various insurances, Elva’s surgery cost did not exceed one million.

“Derrick, there’s still the maintenance fee for the rest of my life. You know I’ve had plastic surgery, and you guys won’t take care of me in the future. I need to ensure this money so I won’t starve to death.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Derrick, I am disabled, and it will be difficult for me to find a job in the future. I have been a lady of the Friedan family for so many years, and it’s hard to go from luxury to frugality. You should understand me, right?”

Upon hearing this, Derrick turned pale.

Ten million was not a small figure for him, he might even have to use the properties under his name.

“Elva, once you’ve healed your leg, you can find a job on your own…”

“Enough talk, you just won’t give it, will you?” Elva interrupted him, her tone full of mockery. “I knew it, all this sister and brother talk is all fake. I’m just adopted, I have no blood relation to any of you. Even if I starved to death, none of you would shed a single tear.”

“Derrick, I regarded you as my hope, but you gave me despair.”

Elva’s words were full of complaints.

“No more, I don’t want anything anymore, just let it be, I can’t survive anyway, remember to collect my body tomorrow, I’ll be your sister in the next life…”

At this point, Elva hung up the phone.

Upon hearing this, Derrick’s brows furrowed and his fingers clenched tightly.

“Did she threaten you with suicide again?!” Waldron saw through everything and threw the phone to Derrick, “Elva is resorting to her old tricks, trying to frame Claudia again. She contacted the media and made a scene in the mall, all to ruin Claudia’s reputation. Derrick, if you go soft again, don’t blame me for not recognizing you as my brother.”

Seeing the chat history on his phone, Derrick was taken aback, his eyes filled with guilt and unease, “I’m worried Elva might commit suicide in this state…”

“Derrick, do you know why Seraphina never calls you brother?” Waldron delivered a heavy blow, “Because you’ve never treated her like a sister, you’ve never stood up for her, and you’ve even helped outsiders bully her. If you still don’t realize your mistakes this time, I can guarantee that Seraphina will never acknowledge you, and even I won’t acknowledge you.”

“Didn’t Elva want to commit suicide? Then let’s see if she really will or not. Don’t worry, if she dies, I’ll kneel before her grave and apologize. But if she doesn’t succeed, I want you to bring her to Seraphina and apologize,” Waldron curled his lips, smiling wickedly, “If she doesn’t die, then I’ll make sure she does.”

He had long been fed up with her constant threats to her own life and habitual moral blackmail. Apart from brainless individuals like Derrick and Thomas, no one could stand such a woman.

Hearing Waldron’s harsh words, Derrick lowered his gaze, his palm clenched, his voice hoarse: “Waldron, after all, she has been our sister

for so many years.”

“I didn’t treat her as anything less than a sister,” Waldron interrupted him. “It’s her who didn’t consider us as brothers, didn’t consider Seraphina as a sister. I’ll say it again, if you continue to be stubborn, don’t blame me for being harsh on her.”

He snatched the phone and glared at Derrick menacingly.

Derrick remained silent, his face somewhat embarrassed.

He knew that Waldron was a man of his word, if he helped Elva, Waldron would definitely cause trouble.

“Don’t worry, I didn’t help her.”

Though he said so, Derrick was still very worried. He was afraid that Elva might really do something foolish.

Elva really intended to do something foolish.

At that time, she was at her wit’s end. She found a rooftop of a three- story building, looked down from above, her heart trembling fiercely.

Those reporters didn’t release the news, claiming it had been bought off. Her plan to tarnish Claudia’s reputation also fell through.

At that time, she felt it was better to be dead than alive, living was even more painful than death.

Reflecting on the past few months of my life, falling from heaven to hell, the hatred in my heart was endless.

“It was all you, Seraphina, all you!”

If Seraphina hadn’t shown up, she could have continued being the lady of Friedan family, instead of ending up in such a disgraceful state, worse than a beggar.

She slowly moved to the edge of the rooftop, leaning on her cane, slowly “standing” up.

Just as she gritted her teeth, ready to jump, a voice stopped her.

“Elva!”

Elva opened her eyes, slowly turned her head, and saw a face that haunted her dreams.

“Horace!”

When Claudia returned to the Johnson family, it was already evening, and a familiar man in a black down jacket was standing at the door.

Thomas had been standing at the entrance of the mansion for an hour, and during that hour, not a single member of the Johnson family had

come to attend to him, they didn’t even let him in the door.

The person below had already investigated the background of the fortune teller, who was hired by Elva!

It turned out that all of this was Elva’s doing. What she said before were all lies!

The moment he learned the truth, he was so angry that he almost fainted!

Thinking of his relationship with Emily, Thomas deeply felt the horror of losing a loved one and hurried to the Johnson family to apologize to Emily.

He was wrong, outrageously wrong.

He shouldn’t have believed in the bullshit talk of some fortune teller, let alone trust the words of a person with a bad character like Elva.

He stood outside the door, calmly feeling the breeze.

All of this was what he deserved.

Claudia returned to the Johnson family and saw Thomas at first glance, and Thomas also saw her.

“Seraphina…” Thomas moved forward excitedly, tears immediately
