See You Never, Mr. Lamont

Chapter 54

Chapter 54 Cann’t Accept That She Is Seraphina The Lamont Group, Edmond’s office. “Mr. Lamont,” the assistant walked in with a smile on her face, “our company’s jewelry design has been nominated this year, and we can send someone to attend the International Jewelry Festival.” The International Jewelry Festival is a world-class competition. This year’s competition zone is in Adron. Participants can only enter in the name of their company, not as individuals. Because of this, many companies will go to great lengths to squeeze into the preliminary rounds in order to enhance their reputation. In previous years, only companies specializing in jewelry were eligible. Unexpectedly, this time, the Lamont Group, which specializes in investments and real estate, also managed to make it in. Edmond raised an eyebrow, thinking of Claudia. She studied jewelry design in college and when she joined the Lamont Group, she transformed the company’s business from a sideline to a mainstream focus. “Was she still at the company?” The assistant paused for a moment and immediately realized that he was referring to Claudia. “Ms. Lloyd had not resigned yet.” Edmond nodded, “If she doesn’t mind, let her join this time.” The jewelry design of the Lamont Group was able to create a circle, thanks to Claudia’s efforts. She must be happy to participate in such a 0.00% 12:09 The assistant nodded, and this arrangement seemed reasonable. “I will arrange your and Ms. Lloyd’s business trip plan.” Business trip? Edmond looked up and realized that this competition was being participated in under the company’s name, so he could also go. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Edmond squinted his eyes and in the end, he didn’t say anything. The companies that made it to the finals of the Jewelry Festival were just announced, and Rosalie just saw this news. Being able to participate in the Jewelry Festival is an honor for every jewelry designer, even if it is just as a companion, it can still be recorded as a valuable experience on their resume. She joyfully sent a message to Edmond. Such an opportunity was rare, and she definitely had to attend. However, before the message was sent, Elva received a message: Waldron woke up. Rosalie froze, a hint of anger rising in her eyes.

Waldron was really lucky. Even when a big truck crashed into him, he didn’t die. Rosalie: Did Claudia’s identity get exposed by Seraphina? The message was sent, but there was no reply. Rosalie’s heart was pounding. Her intuition told her that something had definitely happened. Elva stayed at the Friedan’s manor, despite being injured, holding on with all her might. Thomas had dismissed the rest of the Friedan family and had called Claudia into the room half a cup of tea ago. Not only Claudia, Ervin, and Derrick went in, but also Emily. However, she couldn’t go in because she got injured and had to be taken to the hospital. The family doctor said to Miss Wu, “Miss Wu, your leg is seriously injured. I suggest you go to the hospital.” “No need, I’m not in pain,” Elva said, holding her breath as someone lifted her onto the sofa near the room door. In front of so many people, she didn’t dare eavesdrop openly, and with the good soundproofing in the room, she couldn’t hear a single word inside. At that time, she had become an outsider instead. As soon as Waldron woke up, the first thing that came to her mind was to call Thomas, and she felt a chill down her spine.

She had planned for so long, and she couldn’t afford to fail. “Carry me over there,” she said with a gloomy face, directing people to carry her to the door. Just as she was about to lean in to listen, the door suddenly opened. Claudia laughed and said, “Ms. Friedan, what are you doing?” Elva’s body stiffened, and the maids who were carrying her felt equally embarrassed. “Why didn’t you knock and come in if you wanted to listen so badly? It’s really unseemly to be caught eavesdropping like this.” Thomas and Ervin walked out and when they saw Elva like this, their faces looked a bit embarrassed. “Whoever eavesdropped, I was just curious,” Elva stubbornly insisted. “What are you curious about? Curious if I am Seraphina?” Elva: “…” Claudia playfully raised her lips and said, “Didn’t you even get Bella’s bloodline identification certificate? I thought you would be certain that she is Seraphina.” “Stop!” Elva endured the pain, her face darkening. “If you don’t understand, then don’t speak. No one treats you like a mute.” “Elva,” Thomas suddenly spoke up, “You can’t be so disrespectful. She is your older sister.” “What did you say?!” Elva screamed, “How could she be my sister?” “Elva, Claudia is indeed Seraphina. Waldron has already informed us of the identification results. Bella’s situation may be a misunderstanding…” Derrick stepped forward, trying to calm her emotions, but Elva refused to listen and forcefully pushed him away. The movement was too big, and the maids couldn’t hold steady. Elva immediately fell down. With a cry of pain, Elva fainted. When Elva woke up, she was already in the hospital and happened to hear the doctor’s words. “Cells below her lower leg had already ne cro tized, and our recommendation was to proceed with amputation surgery as soon as possible.” “Is there no other way?”

“No, I’m sorry.” *** All these words entered Elva’s ears, but when she heard the words “amputation,” she could no longer hear anything else. She had been learning dance since she was young, and her most proud feature was her beautiful legs. However, now they were going to be cut off. After the Friedan family and the doctor finished talking, they discovered that Elva had already woken up. She widened her eyes and stared fixedly at the ceiling. “Elva…” Elva gradually regained consciousness and shifted her gaze onto Derrick. Her clear eyes were filled with moisture as she asked, “Derrick, am I never able to dance again?” Derrick didn’t say anything, his eyes filled with pain: “Derrick will have the doctor cure you, don’t be afraid.” “Derrick, Ervin, Dad, I don’t want to amputate, I don’t want to become disabled!” Elva widened her eyes, tears streaming down like a torrent. Ervin and Thomas couldn’t bear to look away. They didn’t expect it to be so serious when it fell from the mountain. 60.25% 12:10 “The doctor said that without timely treatment, and also your second injury…” Ervin lowered his eyelashes, hiding the sadness in his eyes. “I have already dismissed those maids…” Ervin’s words not only did not make Elva feel better, but instead, they further provoked her. “What’s the use of firing me? Can it bring back my leg? And what about Claudia? She’s the real culprit, have you dealt with her?” Elva clenched her teeth. “If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have gotten hurt. I know she’s now Seraphina, and you care more about her. You won’t do anything to her, she hasn’t lost anything, but I lost a leg!”

“Elva…” Thomas approached and gently patted her head with his large hand, “I can’t explain this matter to you, Seraphina has just returned, we cannot take action against her. Please be understanding, we will make it up to you…” “I don’t want compensation!” Elva cried breathlessly, “Dance has always been my greatest passion since I was little, but now I have lost my legs. What’s the point of living anymore? It’s not that I can’t accept Seraphina, I just can’t accept someone like her becoming Seraphina. Why her, why!” Elva’s words, word by word, came out of the room and into the hallway. Claudia heard these words as soon as she entered. She stood by the door, hesitating whether to go in or not. Derrick noticed her at a glance and whispered something in Elva’s ear before walking toward her. He pulled her aside, hesitating to speak. “Just say what you have to say,” Claudia glanced at him indifferently. “The doctor said Elva’s leg had to be amputated.” “Oh.” Claudia nodded nonchalantly. Derrick frowned, “Over the years, she has been by our side, bringing us a lot of joy. Your return has had a big impact on her.” “I see.” Claudia raised an eyebrow and smiled. It’s not her fault for being heartless, but Elva’s behavior of cutting off her own legs is truly like a clumsy farce. Seeing her laughing carefree, Derrick showed some dissatisfaction on his face: “Claudia, Elva is emotionally unstable right now, I’m afraid she might do something foolish. Can you please give in to her, just… do me a favor.” “Apologize to her and cheer her up to make her happy.”
