Chapter 43

Chapter 43 Her Family “This handkerchief, it’s really yours…” Ervin stared at her, his eyes turning red. “Yeah, it does look a bit old,” Claudia smiled as she neatly folded the items and put them into herpocket. “This thing was left to me by my grandmother, it’s probably the only memento I have left toconnect with my family.” Until this moment, Ervin finally confirmed that Claudia was indeed Seraphina, his sister. He widened his eyes, looked at the sky, and held back the tears in his eyes. Looking at her again, the out-of-control expression was restrained to some extent. “Do you want to replace your previous family?” he asked cautiously, not missing any expression onClaudia’s face. Claudia lowered her eyes and whispered, “To be honest, I didn’t want to keep these things if it weren’tfor my grandmother’s last wish.” “Why?” Ervin squinted his eyes into a thin line. “Don’t you want to be recognized by your family?” Recognizing each other… Claudia was momentarily stunned. When she was young, there was a period of time when she desperately wanted to replace her family.However, no matter what methods she tried, the results she obtained were always that she had been abandoned. A person who has been abandoned will also be despised by those family members when they arefound. “I don’t want to,” she sneered, “I’m just doing it to fulfill my grandmother’s last wish.” Ervin muttered a “Oh” as he listened to her indifferent response. Judging by her appearance, she must have had some misunderstanding with her family. He really wanted to tell her right now that her family had been looking for her for many years and thewhole family was waiting for her.

Even if Claudia didn’t like them, he wouldn’t back down. “Claudia, have you ever thought that you might be our sister?” Claudia’s lips twitched, and she quickly said, “I dare not even think about it. I don’t have such goodluck. I dare not indulge in such daydreams.”

“Moreover, didn’t you all replace Seraphina already? That short-haired girl who looks quite like your dad,it’s highly likely it was her.” The dream Ervin gave was too beautiful, she dared not think about it, let alone do it. Ervin stared at her fixedly and said, “What if I told you this wasn’t a dream?” Upon hearing these words, Claudia was immediately stunned. She thought of the scene where the beautiful middle-aged woman held her and called her Seraphina. “Mr. Ervin, this joke was not funny at all.” If she was really a member of the Friedan family, then why haven’t any members of the Friedan familyfound themselves for so many years? This is unreasonable. Such dreams were too elusive, she was afraid of waking up and being left with discomfort. Looking at her face full of resistance, Ervin felt somewhat helpless. It was normal for her to refuse to believe, and he also dared not believe this news. Although it was almost certain, without presenting concrete evidence, not only she, but others wouldalso not believe. Thinking that Waldron had already done the bloodline identification, there should be a backup in thehospital. The Waldron incident was suspicious, and it might be related to the paternity test as well. Before that, let’s keep it a secret, both for Claudia’s sake and to avoid any unnecessary complications. “You are right, this is actually just my guess,” Ervin laughed like a fox. As long as she got the appraisal result, she had to believe it even if she didn’t want to. Claudia’s heart was lifted again as she noticed Ervin’s meaningful gaze. She didn’t know why Ervin suddenly said such things.

“By the way, the doctor said Waldron was out of danger already, and he should wake up in a few days,”he explained gently. “Derrick didn’t 40 Vouchers have bad intentions, he was just overly suspicious and misunderstood you. But it will be resolvedsooner or later.” Claudia remained noncommittal, unwilling to comprehend Derrick regardless of whether he had illintentions or not. She smiled lightly and said, “Thank you for telling me about Waldron. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leavenow. She was more interested in knowing about Waldron’s situation than the dream Ervin had made for her. Ervin nodded, “You go ahead.” Claudia turned around, took out her phone, and Pedro finally replied to her message. Pedro: Weren’t you always unwilling to look for your family? You didn’t want to replace them, but they camelooking for you. Claudia stood still in place. What did he mean? Thinking of Ervin’s words, her heart pounded nonstop. Soon, Pedro sent another message: “The information I found is a bit complicated, let’s talk in person.” He sent a location over, Claudia pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then quickly wentdownstairs. After she left, Rosalie, who was far away, just hung up the phone with Elva. She is now in a panic, the Friedan family members have already realized that this was not just arandom car accident. As long as the Friedan family members suspect, they will eventually replace out about her. *** The place Pedro arranged to meet was a restaurant, located by the window and very close to thehospital. It only took a few hundred meters to walk downstairs and reach there.

She arrived but Pedro had not come yet. She ordered a cup of tea and gently savored it. “Hey, isn’t this Mr. Lamont’s ex-wife?” a sharp voice pierced Claudia’s ears, causing her to furrow herbrow The narrow path of enemies unexpectedly led to Gilda and Elva. “She is no longer Mrs. Lamont, how can she still come to a place like this? Do you know the level ofconsumption here?” Gilda sneered at her, “With the average person here spending tens of thousands, you probably can’tafford it, can you?” Per capita over ten thousand? Claudia glanced at the tea in her hand. She took a good look at the people in the restaurant. Although it was just an inconspicuous tearestaurant, from their attire, it was clear that everyone inside was wealthy. According to her normal level, of course she couldn’t afford it. But since Pedro made the appointment for this place, he will be responsible for paying when the timecomes. “I can afford to spend and it’s none of your business if I can’t. So, are you going to treat me?” Claudiasmirked and poured herself another glass. “I invite you? Who are you? Why should I invite you?” Gilda’s face darkened. “Why are you complaining if you didn’t treat?” Claudia sneered. Elva glanced at Claudia’s teapot. It seemed to be the signature tea of this shop, with a price that almostreached six figures. Rosalie told her that Claudia was starting from scratch, and she didn’t believe she could afford it. When it was time to pay, make her look good. “Gilda, talking to such people lowers your own status. Don’t approach just anyone in the future,” Elvalightly “lectured” Gilda, sitting down not far from Claudia. She wanted to see what tricks Claudia was up to.

Outside the teahouse, the assistant was just about to drive the car to the underground parking lot whenhe caught sight of Claudia sitting by the window. He hurriedly said to the man who was resting his eyes on the back seat, “Mr. Lamont, Mrs. Lamont isalso here.” Edmond opened his eyes and looked outside the car. Claudia sat by the window, leisurely sipping her tea. After a while, a man wearing a mask andsunglasses sat across from her. The young assistant, Zhang, opened his mouth wide and anxiously glanced at his boss. Edmond squinted his eyes and stared motionlessly at the two people sitting opposite each other. Seeing the man wearing sunglasses, Claudia laughed happily. If you didn’t know, you would think theywere a couple. The assistant held his breath as the man with sunglasses took off his glasses and mask, just as he wasguessing the man’s identity.
