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 to take
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 ingratitude toward 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, the disadvantages of
returning to the Friedan family outweighed the advantages.
Waldron never thought she would directly refuse, but considering the unfair treatment she had recently received
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’t have that
chance anymore.”
She had already collected all the evidence, and once these things were submitted to the police, Rosalie would go to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtjail.
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 about to 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 to Thomas
and Derrick’s favoritism, being bullied even before coming home. Who would want to return to such 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 have worked 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 Miss Friedan, but we
can give you money. You may not get along with anyone, but don’t have issues with money.”
“Those who used to bully and humiliate you, you couldn’t do anything to them, but now, you can crush them 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 like changing it in
the future, you can do so. If you never want to change it for your whole life, that’s also fine. Actually, I don’t really
like this last name either…” Waldron suddenly had a brilliant idea, “How about 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 attend the 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 too coincidental. 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 first time, 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 call me dad?”
Dad?
Claudia played with her lips, a seductive coldness hidden beneath her long eyelashes. “Aren’t you Elva’s father?”
Snap.
This remark was like a slap, hitting Thoma s’s face hard.

Mentioning Elva, Thomas felt embarrassed and awkward. His lips stuttered for a few moments as he said, “At that
time, Elva called me and said that if I didn’t agree to sign the contract, she wouldn’t agree to 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 why he 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 Elva about 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 explained with 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 cause trouble in the
process?” It’s already a good thing if she doesn’t mess it up, and yet they dare to let her take charge?
“Do you know how important this project is?” Tho ma s’s face darkened. “This is a key project supported 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 and give us more confidence in applying
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfor 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 and status 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 old shareholders 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 the collaboration,
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, to sabotage 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 hundred million.”
Claudia: “..
…

Seeing Claudia’s stiff expression, Ervin smiled with narrowed eyes, “If we have the smoking gun of Rosalie framing
Waldron, then we don’t have to pay the penalty and can terminate the cooperation directly.”
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 she obtained 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 died from
suffocation by then.
