See You Never, Mr. Lamont by Coral

Chapter 179 A Secret

Outside the Wyvernport Hotel, there was a bustling scene. The

perimeter of the red rope barrier was filled with journalists, resembling a red carpet event for a celebrity.

With the appearance of various prominent figures, the atmosphere reached its climax.

In a hotel room, Claudia sat down, surrounded by the rest of the Friedan family.

Thomas stood in the middle and repeatedly instructed, “The Ferguson family is considered one of the top families in

Vencumfield. Seraphina, when you meet Horace’s family, you should be polite and courteous.”

In Thoma s’s mind, Horace had already been considered as a “prospective son-in-law”.

Horace had good character and appearance, and came from a well-off family. The marriage between the Friedan

family and the Ferguson family was considered a good match.

Listening to Thoma s’s words, Claudia’s expression remained unchanged: “Horace was just my friend.”

“What kind of friend are you!” Thomas immediately turned cold, “You are still carrying someone else’s child in your

belly. It is your good fortune that Horace likes you. Don’t be ungrateful when you are in a fortunate position.”

“In the future, if you have a child with you, let’s see who will still want you.”

Thoma s’s words were cold and harsh. As soon as he finished speaking, Emily next to him slapped him and said,

“What nonsense is this old man talking about? Even if Seraphina doesn’t get married, we still can’t afford to support

her?”

Thoma s’s breath caught, his lips twitched, and he stammered, “I was just saying that Horace seems like a good

kid…”

Emily gave him a disdainful look and said, “Even if Seraphina liked you, I wouldn’t have chosen you if I didn’t like

you back then.”

Thomas simply closed his mouth.

Seeing this scene, Elva sitting in the corner tightened her fingers, her face full of jealousy.

Due to Eileen’s help, the Friedan family did not send her back to her old house. However, since then, no matter how

hard she tried to please them, the Friedan family treated her as if she were invisible.

Just like this kind of banquet, although she could appear, it was only a facade to the outside world. When discussing

internal matters, she was never allowed to participate.

As soon as Elva thought about Claudia becoming the star of the Ferguson Group, she became jealous and her eyes

turned red.

This meant that she and Horace became even closer.

Thinking of that handsome and polite man, Elva’s heart pounded, her eyes turning red and redder. In the end, she

turned her head and maneuvered her wheelchair to slide away.

Her appearance was very eye-catching. The socialites who were originally standing outside the door subconsciously

pretended not to see her when they saw her.

In the past, she was the most popular one. Every time she appeared, people would flock to her and try to get close

to her. But now, she sits alone in a wheelchair, feeling out of place among others.

Thinking of these, Elva clenched her fists tightly, a chill surged up in her heart.

Just then, a person walked in from outside the door, and all the women in the room turned their gaze toward that

direction.

The man had a tall figure, handsome features, and an outstanding temperament, as if he had walked out of a

group of celebrities.

“Mr. Lamont!”

Agirl screamed softly.

It was Edmond, he walked into the crowd and instantly became the most eye-catching person.

Seeing Edmond, Elva’s heart fluttered slightly.

Edmond still doesn’t know whose child is in Claudia’s belly. If he knew that Claudia’s child is his, would he forcefully

remarry Claudia?

As far as she knew, Claudia had no plans to remarry.

Elva had a thought and manipulated the wheelchair toward Edmond.

“Mr. Lamont,” Elva squeezed her way next to him and whispered, “I wonder if you have a moment to talk to me. I

have a secret to tell you.”

Her voice fell, and the surrounding noise quieted down.

Secret, what secret?

The onlookers pri cked up their ears.

Edmond looked at Elva, his eyes dangerously narrowed.

Although Thomas tried his best to keep the Friedan family’s affairs under control, there are no walls that are

completely airtight in the world. What should be known and what shouldn’t be known, all became known.

“No time.”

He didn’t look at Elva, but looked around, his eyes searching for someone’s figure.

Ignored, Elva paused for a moment and then laughed, “You don’t want to know about Claudia’s pregnancy?”

Edmond’s footsteps came to a halt.

In a small corner of the hotel.

Edmond and Elva sat facing each other, with Edmond leaning back on the leather sofa. He was dressed in a solid-

colored suit, paired with a gray shirt. His simple presence alone was captivating.

Elegant and refined, calm and confident, that is the perfect portrayal of him.

It is hard to imagine that Seraphina, who had nothing, also married this man and lived a privileged life, even

becoming pregnant with his

child.

Some people are born lucky, and Seraphina is one of them.

“Mr. Lamont, if Claudia’s child was yours, would you remarry her?”

As soon as Elva spoke, the atmosphere dropped.

“What does it mean?” Edmond tapped his slender fingers on the

armrest of the sofa, a hint of caution in his eyes.

The information found by Enigma would not be wrong, what does Elva mean by this statement?

Seeing that Edmond had no intention of answering, Elva smiled and sarcastically said, “The child in her belly is

yours.”

Edmond’s face remained calm, but inside, a storm of emotions was raging, wave after wave crashing against his

sanity.

“Where is the evidence?” he rasped, his eyes as cold as an ice cellar. “You’ve never gotten along with her, so tell

me, what benefit does this bring to you?”

“Liked Horace,” Elva’s voice was light and ethereal, with a hint of fierceness in her eyes. “I didn’t want to see their

families unite, and I especially didn’t want to see the person I liked marry someone I didn’t like.”

If it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t have told you about it at all.

“The Friedan family kept it a secret from you, especially Claudia. She didn’t want you to know about the child

because she wanted to raise the child alone.”

Elva’s words pierced his body like needles.

When he heard that the child was his, he no longer felt as joyful as before. However, when he heard that Claudia

wanted to raise the child alone, his heart felt like it was being twisted by steel wires, and he couldn’t catch his

breath.

She never thought about being with him, let alone remarrying him.

She exerted all her strength to escape from him, avoiding him like a snake or a scorpion.

“Mr. Lamont, if you liked her, you should have pursued her. Remarrying was not impossible.”

Elva smiled and mustered up the courage to persuade him.

Although she didn’t like Seraphina marrying into any wealthy family, she would rather marry Edmond than Horace.

Horace was determined to become a father, and she couldn’t stop him, so she had to let others stop him.

Elva smirked, her mind calculating furiously.

“Words are not enough, why should I believe you?” Edmond sneered. “I thought it was something important, turns

out it’s just this.”

He stood up, his face stern, but the trembling in his hands betrayed his

emotions.

After Eileen did that outrageous thing, he also began to doubt the authenticity of the Enigma’message.

Even though he knew Claudia wanted to escape from him, the moment he realized she was actually carrying his

child, he could forgive everything.

He stumbled a few steps, feeling dazed and empty, as if his soul had been drained.

Just then, a small argument brought his thoughts back.

It was Horace and his mother.

“Seraphina was pregnant with someone else’s child, and I disagreed unless she had an abortion.”

“Mom, what I liked about her was her as a person. Terminating the

pregnancy would have caused her a lot of harm. I can love her unconditionally and treat her child as my own.”

Love me, love my dog!

Horace’s mother covered her chest in astonishment and angrily exclaimed, “Casually saying such big words, do you

know whose child is in her belly?”

“I knew,” Horace said in a flat tone, as if stating the most ordinary thing, “It was Edmond’s.”
