Chapter 79 Don’t Use Me as a Scapegoat Watching them approach her, Claudia chuckled lightly. After today, she was no longer referred to as Edmond’s ex-wife, but as Miss Friedan of the Friedanfamily. The Friedan’s manor was very large, and the hall on the first floor could accommodate hundreds oreven thousands of people, resembling a medieval castle. People who were not qualified to attend the Friedan family banquet in the past were all invited this time,and these people jostled and were extremely excited. Although Thomas was the richest man, it was rare for him to invite so many people. There must besomething big about to happen. A group of people surrounded Gilda, asking her for gossip. Benefiting from the fame of the “Friedan” surname, Gilda was naturally delighted to see so manypeople fawning over her. “Did your uncle host this banquet because of Seraphina?” Gilda nodded, “Yes, Seraphina found it. Today was the family reunion between my uncle and cousin.’ “I heard that Seraphina used to be Edmond’s ex-wife…” The person’s gossip was not finished yet when Gilda immediately interrupted, “Are you talking aboutClaudia? How could someone like her be my cousin? What are you thinking!” 食す16:11 “Seraphina came from abroad to study, she is Elva’s classmate, not someone that any Tom, Di ck, orHarry can impersonate.” After Gilda finished speaking, everyone suddenly realized that she was a member of the Friedan family,and her words were also very convincing. The news about Claudia being Seraphina’s sister had already spread outside, but everyone remainedskeptical since the whole thing seemed too coincidental.

The Friedan family spent so much money looking for someone, and in the end, the person was rightthere all along. This kind of

misunderstanding not only embarrassed the Lamont Group, but also embarrassed the people of theFriedan family. When Gilda said this, it also dispelled some people’s gossip thoughts. “Is it true that Horace is going to marry Seraphina?” another gossiping voice chimed in. “Horace!” someone screamed, “Is it Horace from the Ferguson family in Vencumfield? Has he come toWyvernport?” “He did come, but it is unknown who he married.” Gilda also had her own thoughts, and she also had the last name Friedan. Horace didn’t necessarilyhave to be with Seraphina. Horace was a scion of the prestigious Vencumfield family. She had seen her on television and lookedno less attractive than a celebrity. Coming from a wealthy background and possessing a high level ofknowledge, she had completed her PhD at the age of 23. After studying abroad for two years, she wasalready able to represent the Ferguson family in attending parties and negotiating projects at the age of26. If she could climb up the Ferguson family, she wouldn’t have to worry 1567% 76.71 about her future and the future of the family business. You see, her current social connections relysolely on the surname “Friedan,” which is both her luck and her sorrow. Not only did she have such thoughts, but Rosalie and other socialites also had such thoughts. Even ifthey couldn’t seduce Horace, what if they became his confidante? That would only benefit their ownfamilies. Rosalie saw that Elva wanted to distance herself from her, so she tactfully did not approach her andinstead found Edmond. Since the last time she almost had a relationship with Edmond, he has been indifferent toward her and

has not mentioned marriage again. However, she is not angry. She is now thriving and it seems likeluck is on her side. Everything she does goes smoothly. It was normal for Edmond to be angry that day, but she would replace a way to make him no longer angry. “Edmond,” Rosalie walked up to Edmond, “Let’s dance together.” In the middle of the dance floor, there were many men and women dancing together, and she felt veryexcited. Edmond remained silent, while Everett chuckled and teased, “Edmond doesn’t like dancing, how aboutyou and I dance instead?” Jump with Everett? The news doesn’t even know how to write it yet. Rosalie awkwardly declined, “Thank you, if Edmond doesn’t jump, then I won’t jump either.” Seeing her standing there without any intention of leaving, Everett initially wanted to tactfully walkaway. However, when he met Edmond’s gaze, he ultimately mustered up the courage to stay. Man, if you want to pursue your ex-wife, don’t use me as a shield! Everett didn’t leave, and there were some things Rosalie couldn’t say. However, no matter how shesignaled with her eyes, Everett just wouldn’t leave. Rosalie gave up and simply treated Everett as an invisible person. “Edmond, we have signed a cooperation agreement with the Friedan family, that billion-dollar deal, ourfamily has secured it,” Rosalie said with a faint smile on her face, but her voice carried someexcitement and trembling.Edmond’s eyes darkened. At that time, Claudia was wholeheartedly trying to mess up the collaboration, and he even tried topersuade her not to do so. However, it turned out that in the end, the Clayton family still collaboratedwith the Friedan family. If it were in the past, he would have calmly said congratulations, but now, the first thing that comes tohis mind is whether Claudia will be sad or upset. Rosalie saw Edmond not speaking and felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water. “Did you and the Friedan family continue to collaborate?” Everett was the most surprised, wasn’t

Claudia supposed to be Seraphina? How come the Friedan family is working with the Clayton familyagain, isn’t she Seraphina? “It was Elva who helped me. She couldn’t stand Claudia intentionally sabotaging the cooperationunilaterally, so she spoke up for me and Thomas to ensure the continuation of the collaboration.” After Rosalie finished speaking with a cold face, Everett quickly said, “Wasn’t it Waldron who messed up the collaboration? How did it become Claudia?” “Waldron and I had no grievances, why did he mess up the collaboration?” Rosalie retorted angrily. As soon as her words fell, another voice sneered, “No grievances? Rosalie, are you saying this with aclear conscience?” Not far from them, Waldron and Claudia walked over together with Ervin. When Claudia and Waldron appeared together, they had already caused a great stir. Who is this girl and why have I never seen her before? She was dressed in a high-end black long dress, which wrapped around her curvaceous figure,showcasing her alluring curves to the fullest. Her beautiful face was so captivating that one couldn’tlook away. She stood in between the two young masters of the Friedan family, without any sense of discord. Judging by the way she protects the calf, is she Seraphina? When Rosalie saw Waldron and Claudia, her face immediately turned pale, especially when Waldronsaid innocently, which made her feel guilty and flustered. That person has already died, even if Claudia accuses her, there is no evidence. Rosalie’s panicked and pounding heart quickly calmed down. “Mr. Waldron, what you’re saying… does it mean that Ms. Clayton has a grudge against you?” Rosalie’s anxious appearance did not escape Everett’s eyes, and fearlessly, he continued with thetopic.

Rosalie was frightened by these words, her face turned pale, and she quickly clenched her teeth andlooked at Claudia. Seeing that Claudia didn’t speak, Rosalie’s heart didn’t settle either. For some reason, she always feltthat Waldron’s gaze toward her was off. Elva beside him was also pale with fright, her fingers digging into the wheelchair. She had been back for so long, but Ervin and Waldron did not come to pick her up. If it weren’t forDerrick who had been accompanying her, she would have almost thought that she had beenabandoned by the Friedan family.
