Chapter 77

Chapter 77 Aren’t You Elva’s Father? Claudia fell silent immediately upon hearing this news. She only wanted to weaken the Clayton family, but she never thought that in the end she would have totake responsibility for this project herself. “This project was too big, and it was not the right time for me to take over…” Just as she was about to refuse, Waldron confidently interrupted her. “There’s nothing inappropriate. The day after tomorrow, Dad will announce your identity to the public,and then you will be Seraphina.” Seraphina… Claudia frowned. She has not yet adapted to this identity and does not want to change her name and surname.Lloyd is my grandmother’s last name. Changing it without any consideration is an act of ingratitudetoward my grandmother’s years of nurturing. “I didn’t want to change my name, let alone my surname.” Waldron was stunned. “Waldron, I’ll tell you the truth, I never thought about going back to the Friedan family.” What did you come back for? Are you just waiting to be bullied by Elva? She was not afraid of being bullied, nor was she afraid of Elva, but she was afraid of trouble. Money was not a problem for her, and her loved ones were still around. In her opinion, thedisadvantages of returning to the Friedan family outweighed the advantages. Waldron never thought she would directly refuse, but considering the unfair treatment she had recentlyreceived from the Friedan family, he could understand. If it were him, he might not have come back either. Waldron’s eyes flickered as he whispered, “If you don’t come back, your share will be given to Elva.Elva and Rosalie will team up and become even stronger. Are you sure you won’t come back?”

“You’re right…” Claudia nodded, playfully smiling in the surprised gaze of Waldron. “But Rosalie didn’thave that chance anymore.” She had already collected all the evidence, and once these things were submitted to the police, Rosaliewould go to jail.

When the time came, there was no need for her to intervene, Rosalie’s future was definitely over. A woman who had entered prison always had a dark mark on her record. Waldron also wanted to ask further, when a maid hurried over and said to them, “Mr. Friedan is aboutto leave, Mr. Ervin wants you to go over there right away.” The two of them quickened their pace. After they went upstairs, Waldron spoke, “Claudia.” “I know you had a bad impression of the Friedan family.” The reason for all of this can be traced back toThomas and Derrick’s favoritism, being bullied even before coming home. Who would want to return tosuch a home, but he still had his own selfish motives. “Can you give me some face?” Waldron’s voice was low, his eyes slightly red. “I don’t want to haveworked so hard, only to be ruined by Derrick and Dad.” “Come back, the Friedan family can’t offer you anything other than the identity of the fourth MissFriedan, but we can give you money. You may not get along with anyone, but don’t have issues withmoney.” “Those who used to bully and humiliate you, you couldn’t do anything to them, but now, you can crushthem with money.” Claudia remained silent. No wonder he is the young master of the Friedan family, speaking so boldly. “If you don’t want to change your last name, you can leave it as it is for now. Whenever you feel likechanging it in the future, you can do so. If you never want to change it for your whole life, that’s alsofine. Actually, I don’t really like this last name either…” Waldron suddenly had a brilliant idea, “Howabout we take our mother’s last name?” Are you sure Thomas wouldn’t break your leg?

Seeing Waldron looking pitifully at herself, Claudia smiled helplessly and said, “Don’t worry, I will attendthe banquet the day after tomorrow. As for the rest, let me think about it.” Waldron nodded and stopped pressuring her. After all, Thomas was disheartened by his actions in the past few days. The two entered the room where Thomas was. Ervin had already told him about today’s accident. He could not believe that recording, but he could not disbelieve his own son. Moreover, the fact that the murderer was killed by falling objects from a high altitude is indeed toocoincidental. If it wasn’t for the purpose of silencing him, he wouldn’t have believed it either. When Thomas saw Claudia, he had an impulse to run away. Claudia reminded him, and right after that, he signed a contract with the Clayton family. For the firsttime, he felt that this old face had no place to go. Claudia walked in with a smile on her face and said, “Mr. Friedan.” Mr. Friedan! What a distant way of addressing! Thomas took a breath and a hint of anger appeared on his embarrassed face, “What, can’t even callme dad?” Dad? Claudia played with her lips, a seductive coldness hidden beneath her long eyelashes. “Aren’t youElva’s father?” Snap. This remark was like a slap, hitting Thoma s’s face hard. 140 iVouchers Mentioning Elva, Thomas felt embarrassed and awkward. His lips stuttered for a few moments as hesaid, “At that time, Elva called me and said that if I didn’t agree to sign the contract, she wouldn’t agreeto undergo the surgery.”

“So, it is correct to say that you are Elva’s father.” It was Elva’s father who would consider everything for her and not treat her as a daughter, which is whyhe didn’t believe her recording. Thoma s’s face stiffened, his chest heaving, and he slowly sat down on the chair. “Ervin and I told Elvaabout the case of the killer confessing but being silenced. We decided to temporarily suspend the collaboration and assign it to you.” However, Claudia remained unchanged, showing no interest, and refused, “Sorry, I’m not good at this.It’s better if you don’t assign it to me.” “You just need to manage people, and professionals will take care of everything else,” Ervin explainedwith a smile, “I will also assist you when the time comes.” “You and the Clayton family are collaborating, letting me manage, aren’t you afraid that I will causetrouble in the process?” It’s already a good thing if she doesn’t mess it up, and yet they dare to let hertake charge? “Do you know how important this project is?” Tho ma s’s face darkened. “This is a key projectsupported by the Wyvernport government, involving real estate business and relocation arrangements,belonging to the Wellfort Center. Completing this project will enhance Wyvernport’s status in Adron andgive us more confidence in applying for the international Olympics in the following year.” Tho ma s’s words shocked Claudia a little. For such a large project, making money is secondary, but it will definitely enhance the reputation andstatus of the company. No wonder the Clayton Group valued this collaboration so much. “If you could take over this project, in the future, the Friedan family will give you shares, and the oldshareholders of the Friedan Group will have nothing to say,” Ervin said softly, looking at her. Ervin was considering her, but the bigger the project got, the more she wanted to mess up thecollaboration, No way the Clayton family rose to power! Thinking about the various means Dempsey and Rosalie used against her, she grew angrier and

angrier. “I don’t want any of what you guys are saying,” she took a deep breath, “I only have one wish now, tosabotage this collaboration.” Other members of the Friedan family: ” “How much is the penalty fee?” Claudia looked at Ervin. “I’ll pay.” Ervin was somewhat surprised and remained silent for a moment before saying, “Three hundredmillion.” Claudia: “.. …“1 Seeing Claudia’s stiff expression, Ervin smiled with narrowed eyes, “If we have the smoking gun ofRosalie framing Waldron, then we don’t have to pay the penalty and can terminate the cooperationdirectly.” Hearing these words, Claudia’s lips curled up slightly. This was not easy to handle, she immediately sent Rosalie to prison. Claudia’s expression relaxed upon seeing it, and Ervin’s face also showed a smile. According to his investigation, this sister was not as weak as they had imagined. From the moment sheobtained the killer’s recording, he knew that she was more capable than they had imagined. But he didn’t investigate too much, no matter what she wanted to do, he would always have her back. “What are we waiting for? Let’s send her in right away,” Claudia couldn’t help but laugh. The effort of fetching water with a bamboo basket was in vain, hoping that Rosalie wouldn’t have diedfrom suffocation by then.
