See You Never, Mr. Lamont by Coral

Chapter 185 Protect the Baby

“No, you can’t go!” Emily tightly held his hand and wiped away the tears from the corner of her eye. “You’re not in

a good emotional state right now, for the sake of the child and your safety, let’s wait a little longer.”

“A few days later…” Claudia trembled fiercely, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at them, “The funeral has

already…‘

艹

“We went to attend the funeral and were chased out by the Lamont family members. We only know that he was

buried in the Lamont family estate, but not exactly where… we still need to find out,” Ervin paused, thinking of

something, his tone also becoming somewhat somber.

For the Friedan family, Edmond was the savior of their sister, but for the Lamont family, she was the murderer.

Derrick also stood up and advised, “Edmond’s mother has given you all the inheritance, with no one to see him off.

It hasn’t been long since his passing, and now the entire Lamont family sees you as an enemy. Mom and Ervin were

right, whether you want to know where Edmond is buried or wait a little longer until this storm blows over.”

Claudia pursed her lips, her eyes were extremely swollen.

Perhaps it’s not just the Lamont family who hates her, but also anyone associated with Edmond.

Thinking about Everett’s accusation against himself, his heart was once again twisted.

Seeing her like this, Derrick lowered his eyelashes, hiding the

thoughts in his eyes.

Claudia never liked him and might not have listened to him.

Derrick bit his lower lip, feeling increasingly uncomfortable in his heart. After all, she was his own younger sister,

and even though the truth might be hard to hear, he had to say it.

Claudia glanced at him lightly and, in his anxious gaze, covered her abdomen and nodded slowly.

“Then let’s wait a few days.” After saying that, she obediently looked at Waldron and whispered, “Waldron, I want to

eat radish cake and dried salted beef rice noodles from Moonset Street.”

The baby in the belly is the most important now, it is Edmond’s only bloodline.

Thinking about the instructions her mother–in–law gave her over the phone before she passed away, Claudia’s

heart was torn apart.

She broke her promise.

What she could do well now was to protect the baby in her belly.

When Waldron heard her offer to eat, an uncontrollable joy appeared on his face: “Okay, okay, okay, I’ll go down

and buy it right away, ten minutes, wait for me for ten minutes!”

The rest of the Friedan family also became happy. These days, Claudia had no appetite and relied on glucose and

other nutrient fluids to sustain her life. She would vomit anything forcefully eaten. If she continued to starve like

this, even if the child was fine, she would be in danger. Now that she voluntarily asked to eat, everyone breathed a

sigh of relief.

Claudia smiled gently and said, “Don’t worry, for the sake of the child,

I will also live on.”

After all, this life is the continuation of Edmond’s life.

Everett was right, she had to keep going, even if it meant carrying a lifetime of guilt, she had to live well for

Edmond.

Due to this incident, Emily forcefully insisted on returning to the Friedan’s manor for her safety, and Claudia did not

refuse.

On the second day of the Friedan family’s return, an unexpected visitor arrived.

Rosalie sat alone on the sofa in the downstairs living room, while Claudia, wearing casual pajamas, slowly walked

downstairs.

Outside the manor, heavy snow was falling, but inside the house, there was heating. She was wearing a simple silk

nightgown, as she had lost several pounds. Her once slender waist seemed fragile, as if it would break with a touch.

Her long legs swayed within the hem of her skirt, alluring and captivating.

The average person who is so thin looks like a bamboo pole, but her figure is naturally curvaceous. Losing weight

not only does not make her look old, but instead makes her look pure and beautiful like a young girl.

Rosalie “leapt” to her feet, looking at her with eyes full of hatred and jealousy.

Edmond remained in a coma for several days, and eventually the doctors declared that the rescue efforts were

unsuccessful and he had passed away. The day she received the news, she nearly lost her mind, and it was the

court summons that shattered her illusions.

Claudia told her!

She tried several times to rush into the hospital, but was stopped firmly by the Friedan family’s bodyguards. She

couldn’t get in at all. The hospital had become the private hospital of the Friedan family, but no one raised any

objections.

After learning that Claudia had returned to the Friedan family, she immediately rushed to the Friedan family.

“Do you have the audacity to still be alive?” The thought of the scene where Edmond threw himself onto her in the

news made Rosalie’s heart ache like a knife.

Edmond, her Edmond, was killed because of this woman.

He was the heir of the Lamont family, with a long road ahead in life, but it was ruined by the woman in front of him.

“Why not live?” Claudia looked at her, a mocking curve forming at the corner of her mouth. “If I didn’t send you in,

of course I have to stay alive.”

Rosalie’s face turned pale instantly: “If it weren’t for you, Edmond wouldn’t have died at all. Why wasn’t it you who

died? Why?!”

Claudia pursed her lips and remained silent, her gaze filled with coldness.

She remembered Everett saying that Rosalie had relied on threatening Edmond for many years.

“He risked his life to protect me, not only did I not die, but I will also live well.” She glanced at Rosalie,

expressionless, “On the contrary, Rosalie, aren’t you afraid that Edmond will come looking for you in the middle of

the night?”

Claudia’s words hit Rosalie’s heart like a heavy hammer.

Rosalie looked at her, her eyes red with intensity. “He died, how dare you still have the audacity to be alive?”

She rushed toward Claudia, but at that moment, two female bodyguards quickly rushed out from the side and

kicked her away.

Rosalie suddenly leaned back, fell to the ground, clutching her stomach, and beads of sweat appeared on her

forehead.

Rosalie looked fearfully at Claudia as two bodyguards suddenly appeared.

“Did you receive the court summons?” Claudia casually sat down on the sofa, lazily looking at her. “Prepare

yourself well and better reveal your accomplices, otherwise I don’t know what kind of punishment awaits you in the

end.”

“I am Adron, a law–abiding citizen. What kind of criminal law awaits me?” Rosalie slowly stood up and glanced at

the two short–haired female bodyguards. She chuckled softly, “I didn’t expect you to be so afraid of death, hiring

two bodyguards to accompany you. It’s unfortunate that person didn’t blow you up.”

Claudia remained silent, wearing a playful smile on her face.

Rosalie’s heart was pounding.

She has now been abandoned by the Clayton family, and Claudia cannot find any evidence in her hands. But

knowing that the evidence that should be destroyed has been destroyed, even if she is sued, as long as the lawyer

is good, she is not afraid of losing the lawsuit.

At the thought of this, a person suddenly came to Rosalie’s mind.

Edmond had given her a contact information before, saying that Adron was the best lawyer. If she received a court

summons, she could seek defense from this person.

Seeing Claudia’s calm demeanor, Rosalie’s heart sank to the bottom.

She came today, firstly to vent her emotions, and secondly to check on Claudia’s condition.

Originally, it was thought that she would be completely defeated, but it turned out that besides losing some weight,

her hatred toward herself did not diminish.

“Let’s meet in court, I’m actually quite curious to see what evidence you will present,” Rosalie’s pink lips curved into

a smug smile. “Edmond has hired the best lawyer, Adron, for me. I believe his spirit in heaven will surely bless me

with victory.”

The satisfaction in her eyes was like a sharp dagger, cutting through all the disguises.

After she left, Claudia sat on the sofa, wondering about something.

At that moment, Derrick entered the room and saw Claudia, his footsteps halted.

Claudia also caught sight of him, slightly parting her lips, her soft voice trembling gently, “Do you know the best

lawyer for Adron?”

Rosalie wants to destroy everything that Edmond did before his death.

If Edmond were alive, she would have let it go, but since he passed away, she doesn’t want Rosalie to continue

misusing his resources.

Tristen died, but many things should not have been Edmond’s responsibility.

Rosalie’s actions should have landed her in jail a long time ago.

Derrick’s expression froze for a moment, and he nodded gently, “I know.”

Adron’s lawyer, widely recognized as the best, was named Roger Rowe. At the young age of thirty, he had never

experienced a defeat in any case. No matter what the lawsuit was, he had the ability to turn it around in his favor.

This was because he was a lawyer who enjoyed finding evidence on his own, and he could even uncover many

hidden pieces of evidence.

“What did you want him to do?”

“Go talk to him.” Claudia stood up, her gaze serene yet icy.

Watching her confidently walk into the changing room, Derrick furrowed his brows.

Since Edmond passed away, she seemed like a different person.

Just like a sharp knife, suddenly unsheathed.

The light shone fiercely and mercilessly.
