See You Never, Mr. Lamont

Chapter 99

Chapter 99 Why Are You Here? Yvette wanted to go up again, but Claudia stopped her and said, “Yvette.” “How did you get here?” When Claudia saw Yvette, a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face. It was a bit embarrassing to be seen by a friend in such a situation, but soon she felt relieved. Claudia was one of her own. “Coming over here for some business, just happened to pass by. Are you okay?” Claudia approached and stood next to Yvette, casting a cold glance toward Lila. Lila wore thick pajamas that had faded in color from rolling on the ground. Dust clung to them, and her hair was messy, with some weeds tangled in it. She looked disheveled and fierce. While she was sizing up Lila, Lila was also sizing her up. Upon seeing Claudia, Lila first froze for a moment, and her gaze quickly shifted from Claudia’s face to the clothes and bags she was wearing. Except for handbags, she didn’t recognize any other brands, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t judge people. She worked as a waitress in a hotel and had seen all kinds of people. The kind of bag Claudia was carrying was only used by people who had access to the presidential suite. When did Yvette meet such a wealthy person? Yvette and her familiar vigor seemed to have a good relationship. “Yvette, this is…” Lila sized up Claudia, her tone immediately softened. She was, of course, afraid of offending someone wealthy. “Sis.” Just then, Spencer walked over carrying a bag of wine, and upon seeing Yvette, raised his voice, “Yvette! What are you doing here?” His gaze fell on Claudia’s face, his eyes lighting up. “Yvette, is this your friend?” He licked his lips, his smile somewhat lewd. He had only seen such a beautiful woman on television before, even the women in the nightclubs didn’t look as good as her. He didn’t expect Yvette to have such a friend.

He had a lot of debts, but Yvette refused to pay him back and even asked for a divorce. In addition, Yvette’s pregnancy showed no signs of progress. He knew that he couldn’t save the marriage, so he reluctantly agreed, hoping that Yvette would at least pay back half of the debts. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Yvette felt disgusted as she saw Spencer’s greedy gaze fall upon Claudia’s face. She must have been out of her mind to have fallen for such a family. “Brother, your ex-wife wants to move the furniture out of our house. I refused, and she threatened to hit me. Are you going to do something about this?” Lila, the troublemaker, complained first, “I remember she used the dowry money to renovate her own house. If she can move the furniture, can’t we also make her move out of that house?” Lila never left Yvette’s house, as Yvette’s house was in a good school district, which would make it convenient for their children to go to school in the future. And this old shabby house had nothing. Vouchers “Lila, you gave ine fifty thousand to renovate my house, but later I spent one hundred and fifty thousand to renovate this old shabby place of yours. After the divorce, you made me shoulder debts of over one hundred thousand. Now that I’m moving out, selling the appliances should cover the debt, right?” Yvette also refused to back down, pointing at Spencer and addressing the neighbors on the street, “Spencer gambled and visited prostitutes after marriage. Do you really want to support someone like him?” Gambling and prostitution? The neighbors looked at each other and hesitated to speak for a moment. They only knew that Yvette couldn’t conceive, but they never thought that Spencer would gamble and visit prostitutes. Spencer didn’t expect Yvette to not give him any face, as he watched Claudia standing beside him, his face crawling like a bug.

Claudia suddenly asked, “Did you guys just say you wanted to change houses?” Yvette’s mother had a small apartment that she knew was bought by Yvette’s mother when she was working in another city to earn money. At that time, it only cost a few thousand dollars, but later it increased. But that was a small property with a forty-year leasehold. “Yeah, it was such a good deal for her to have our nice house!” Lila glared at Yvette in anger. Claudia surveyed their house, which was not large in size, but similar to the house her grandmother had left behind, it had a small courtyard and several trees in the surroundings. Although they were all around forty square meters, there was no shared space, so it added up to about seventy to eighty square meters. “If Yvette is willing to switch, can you guarantee that you won’t regret it after the switch?” “Of course not, regret is for losers!” Lila’s face brightened, and she asked tentatively, “So, is it really a change?” “Claudia…” Yvette quickly grabbed Claudia and whispered softly in her ear, “I… I don’t want to switch.” Although her house was small, it was at least a legitimate commercial property, and the environment was better than here. And her father, along with her younger sister and brother, lived there too, so moving would be troublesome. She didn’t know why Claudia was leaning toward Lila. Claudia patted her hand and whispered to her, “Do you believe me?” Did you believe her? Yvette was anxious, but Claudia’s eyes were clear and her face was serious. Yvette’s turbulent heart immediately calmed down. She thought that Claudia was no longer the same person she used to be. She was Seraphina now.

All right! Let’s take a gamble then. And Claudia was not the kind of person who would turn her arms outward, except for Edmond. Yvette calmed down and Claudia smiled. If Yvette didn’t believe or didn’t want to, she wouldn’t insist. The matter of housing renovation and demolition had to be kept confidential, even with close friends, e she couldn’t talk about it. Moreover, with so many people here, she could only ask Yvette if she believed in herself, without revealing a single unnecessary word. If Yvette believed, she would try her best to make Yvette’s life better, but if she didn’t believe, she wouldn’t continue to interfere in this matter. “Are you really willing to exchange?” Lila’s face blossomed into a smile, she didn’t expect such a good opportunity to come to her. She quickly said, “Don’t wait, let’s transfer ownership tomorrow.” “Hold on…” Spencer squinted at Claudia for a moment. This woman looked good and dressed well, she must know something. Even if this house were to be sold, it would probably fetch no more than a hundred thousand, and there was no guarantee that anyone would want it. On the other hand, Yvette’s house was worth seven to eight hundred thousand on the second-hand market. If they were to swap houses, it would obviously be a great deal for them. However, he didn’t believe in such good fortune falling into his lap, as there must be a catch when things seemed too good to be true. He turned his eyes and suddenly smiled and said, “I won’t change.” “Spencer!” Lila’s face turned pale, and she quickly hit his arm, “What are you talking about?!” She looked at Yvette with a forced smile and said, “Don’t listen to him, he doesn’t agree with me agreeing.” “I don’t disagree,” Spencer raised his chin and looked at Yvette, nonchalantly saying, “Yvette, although my ancestral house is old and broken, at least it has a yard and is bigger than your house. With so many brothers and sisters, they can sleep in a shed outside. It would be a good deal for you to

exchange with me. If you want to exchange, unless you give me an additional thirty thousand dollars.” “You!” Yvette couldn’t believe he was taking advantage of the situation, and she was so angry that she trembled all over. She grabbed Claudia and gritted her teeth, saying, “Let’s go, we’re not staying anymore.” Before they had taken a few steps, Spencer quickly shouted, “Wait!” He rushed up to them with a smile and said, “Hey, don’t hurry to leave. We can chat some more, can’t we?” “Why would we have anything to talk about when you eat so unattractively?” Yvette exclaimed, her forehead throbbing with anger. “If you don’t want to contribute, then don’t. After all, we are a married couple. Let’s forget about this small amount of money. Fine, let’s change it tomorrow.” Watching Spencer pretend to be in pain, Claudia’s crimson lips curled up gently, her tone lazy: “It’s alright, add thirty thousand.”
