Chapter 76 His Regret
Everett climbed onto another motorcycle, following reluctantly.
The two of them raced all the way to the entrance of the Friedan’s manor before stopping.
“Why are you here?” Everett looked at his good friend.
“I have told Ervin to take good care of Claudia.”
Everett: “!!”
have seen people who get jealous and chase after their wives, but I have never seen someone who pushes away
the person they like.
No wonder these days have been off, feeling sleepless, using exercise and alcohol to numb myself every day.
“Regretting it?” Everett chuckled with a knowing smile.
Edmond took off his helmet, his eyes cast down.
Everett crossed his arms and leaned against the motorcycle with a helpless expression. “You, just like me back
then, overestimated your ability to be heartless. You thought that pushing away the person you loved would sever
the ties, but in the end, it was yourself who suffered the pain.”
Edmond’s shallow lips tightened, emitting a cold aura that made people hesitant to approach.
“She didn’t like me, it was useless for me to force her to stay.”
“Who said she doesn’t like you anymore,” Everett sneered, “If she

didn’t like you, could she endure three years of being alone in an empty house? A woman who can stay by a man’s
side for so long either wants his money or his heart.”
Tuchuan, Claudia would rather leave with nothing than stay married to him.
Picture his heart…
Edmond frowned, suddenly remembering the incident where the two of them had forcefully engaged in a
relationship.
“If after two people have a relationship, one person suddenly suggests. breaking up…”
“That must have been one of them plotting against the other!” Everett exclaimed indignantly. “How despicable, to
eat and leave without cleaning up, it’s an irresponsible behavior.”
Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something and looked at Edmond, “You wouldn’t…”
Edmond was about to speak when Everett yelled angrily, “Da mn it, no wonder she wanted to divorce you! Did you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtjust leave her after using her up?”
Edmond: “…
“No wonder she turned around and left without even looking back at you. You totally deserved it!”
What does it mean to let her go after eating up everything clean? She was the one who asked for a divorce!
But at this moment, the more Edmond explained, the more confused it became. With a dark face, he simply chose
not to explain.
Everett rolled his eyes and directly saw through his thoughts, “The
way you are now, it’s obvious that you don’t want to give her to someone else. Listen to my advice…”
He patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice, “It’s not too late to go after her now. Don’t wait until she gets
married and has children with someone else, then you will regret it. By then, you will long for her desperately and
suffer for a lifetime.”
Edmond’s eyes twitched, and his hand slowly clenched.
Everett stopped talking. His friend was great in every way, except for being a little emotionally insecure. But it
wasn’t his fault, considering what had happened to him in the past.
If it were him, he would probably have been completely defeated, indulging in a life of drunkenness and self-
deception every day, let alone being able to manage the Lamont family and establish a foothold for the Lamont
Group in Wyvernport.
Based on his experience, Edmond had already been suffering before he realized his true feelings. When he finally
realized, he would probably have to endure even more hardships.
Who made him emotionally dull?
Thinking about his love life, Everett smiled bitterly. He used to believe that he could handle relationships well and
would never be moved by anyone, even after a lifetime of playing around. But by the time he realized he had fallen
for someone, it was already too late.
People always tend to overestimate their desire for control, but ironically, the most difficult thing to control is
emotions.
Just then, a car slowly drove into the Friedan’s manor. The car stopped, and a young girl got out of the car.

She wore a powder blue short shawl, which accentuated her slender waist. Paired with a black velvet knee-length
skirt and black knee-high boots, her long hair cascaded in loose curls, giving off a natural and alluring vibe.
Waldron walked out of the door and saw Claudia, his serious expression lightened up a bit.
Watching the two of them leave, one in front and one behind, Everett had a pensive expression on his face.
“Your relationship with the Friedan family’s people seemed extraordinary, your ex-wife.”
Edmond put on a helmet, covering the expression on his face.
“The Friedan family had a party scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and it was said that Horace Ferguson would
also be coming.”
The Ferguson family ranked first among the four major families in Vencumfield, and Horace was the next heir of the
Ferguson family.
The Ferguson family rarely expanded their business to other cities. As the first noble family in the capital city of
Adron, their financial power was intricate and their accumulated wealth and connections had ensured generations
of easy success for their descendants.
As soon as Edmond heard the words “Horace,” his face turned cold, his gums clenched, and he concealed the
hatred in his heart.
Everett glanced at him and let out a slight sigh.
“Theard that Horace came over this time to seek a marriage alliance with the Friedan family.”
The Friedan family currently has only one daughter, Elva, but the news of Seraphina being found has already
spread. This time at the banquet,
16:10
Chapter 76 His
the Friedan family is definitely going to announce some big news.
At the request of the Ferguson family, they would not have chosen to marry their adopted daughter Elva, but rather
Seraphina.
Thinking about the incident where Claudia impersonated Seraphina a while ago, Everett’s heart sank. Could it be
true? Could Seraphina really be Claudia?
The more I looked at Waldron’s affectionate appearance, the more I thought it was possible.
Everett pondered, “I think I should look into your ex-wife, her connections were excessive.”
Being friends with celebrities and being protected by the Friedan brothers, even the most sociable socialite couldn’t
achieve this, let alone the fact that she was an orphan.
This network and means are indeed a bit extraordinary.
Edmond stood alone, his gaze faintly falling on Claudia’s figure.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMarried for three years, he thought he knew her, but he had actually never seen through her.
Claudia, who was about to enter the door, felt a gaze behind her. She turned around suspiciously, but only heard
the sound of a motorcycle starting.
Waldron saw her stop and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” she slowly lowered her eyelids.
Waldron thought about the outcome of the conversation and hesitated to speak
“Go ahead, I can handle the outcome.”
Waldron took a deep breath and said, “We tried to persuade Dad, but he insisted that the contracts had already
been signed and couldn’t be changed.”
The contract has been signed, any further changes would be a breach of contract, which may result in substantial
penalty fees and potential damage to the reputation of the Friedan Group.
Claudia smiled, her face revealing no joy or anger.
Waldron was also angry, but the contract had already been signed and he had no way out.
“But there is another solution, we can collaborate and handle it discreetly, for example, by changing the manager.
On the contract, the person in charge from the Clayton family is Rosalie, while on our side, it is Elva. Ervin’s
suggestion is that you will be in charge on our side.”
Claudia was slightly stunned. Was she being entrusted with this multi- billion project?
“What about Elva?”
“She needed to undergo surgery, so let her rest and not get involved in company matters,” Waldron said
expressionlessly, but it was evident that he also disapproved of Elva’s actions this time.
Thinking about what Derrick had said to him, he became furious.
Originally, their intention was to change the contract no matter what and have Elva apologize and seek forgiveness
from Claudia. However, this guy Derrick took all the responsibility upon himself and even said that Elva was not at
fault.
Is it true? Where is it true? Helping outsiders deceive their own people,
16.10
is that called being right?
Waldron wished he could have punched him in the face on the spot.
Even though Elva is a relative, the closeness of blood relationship still needs to be distinguished, who is more
important and who is less important. It’s hard to believe that someone of this age still can’t tell the difference.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I became.
