See You Never, Mr. Lamont by Coral

Chapter 34

Chapter 34 Ms. Lloyd, May I Have a Moment?
“Not sure, but I’ve got my target now, Elva’s friend who will come back from abroad this evening” said Ervin with a big smile.
Derrick pulled his hand excitedly. “Really, Ervin? Seraphina is going back home?”
Ervin could see his brother’s joyful tears. He felt touched, too,
For all these years, they had searched thousands of places and spent lots of money to look for Seraphina.
They hadn’t seen her in 20 years. They had assumed that she was dead,
“Ervin, I know Elva is our good luck. She cured us and also helped us find Seraphina.” Derrick’s sorry for Claudia had disappeared. “When Seraphina is back, we can reunite as a family.”
Derrick’s emotions influenced Ervin’s feelings.
“When Seraphina is back, you can find a girlfriend.” Ervin’s joke made Derrick roll his eyes. “Say that to Waldron.”
“Ever since we made the vow that we wouldn’t get married until we find Seraphina, Waldron has tried his best not to get close to any girls. Now we find Seraphina. Waldron will get married as soon as possible.” Derrick looked gentle when talking about Waldron.
Waldron was the youngest brother and the most loved by them.
The thought of seeing Seraphina tonight put Derrick in a much better mood. “Dad and the others are still waiting for me. I’ll go first and give them an explanation.”

Derrick had just walked over when he realized that the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Elva had changed her clothes and was sitting next to Thomas, coaxing him to laugh.
Elva’s eyes looked sheepishly to either side when she saw Derrick approach.
Claudia had a faint smile on her face. When Derrick met her smiling eyes, he silently stopped.
“What took you so long.” Thomas asked seriously, “How’s the surveillance check going?”
It was suddenly quiet, so quiet that even a pin dropping to the ground could be heard.

Elva grabbed the corner of her jacket and stared pitifully at Derrick. She said in a soft voice with a broken choke, “Derrick…”
Rosalie held her breath as well.
“I watched the surveillance.” Derrick looked to Claudia, and continued in a lower voice, “Elva’s right. Ms. Lloyd pushed her.”
Elva relieved.
Thomas looked at Claudia with a serious look on his face.
He hadn’t realized that this little girl, so innocent judging from her appearance, had such an evil heart.
Derrick suddenly lost his tongue.
Turning to Claudia, he said difficultly, “Ms. Lloyd, may I have a moment?”
Claudia sighed tersely and shook her head, smiling attractively with coldness, “No. Now that you’ve checked the surveillance, nothing I say can change the results, can it?”
Cold shivers ran down her back. The people and air in this room made every cell of her feel icy cold.
She just didn’t think that even someone as righteous as Derrick would be so blatantly biased.
“I thought Mr. Friedan was different from the others.” Claudia’s smile didn’t reach the bottom of her eyes. “Other people might lie about the surveillance, but not you, because you’re a lawyer.
“But I forgot that you are a good lawyer.”
A lawyer who can defend the victim as well as escort the perpetrator.
The pupils of Derrick’s eyes snapped open.
He had prepared a huge sum of money for compounding, but he didn’t realize that Claudia didn’t even give him a chance to do so.
It seemed that she was not blaming him, but in fact, she blamed him for every word.
She was right. He was a lawyer, but here and now, he just wanted to be a protective brother.
“I’m sorry,” he said inwardly.
Derrick lowered his eyes, his long lashes covering the brightness of them.
Claudia stood up with the box in her arms, her face tired and dark, and she averted her gaze, heading toward the door to the hall.

Elva stood still out of guilt.
Watching Claudia’s distant back, Rosalie marveled once again at Elva’s influence.
Derrick’s tolerance of Elva was sick.
Obviously, it was Elva’s problem. However, Derrick was so protective that he just lied in front of everyone.
Just as Claudia was about to leave, Thomas spoke, “Ms. Lloyd, since you pushed Elva, apologize to Elva, and we can let it go.”
Thomas’ words made Derrick blush.
Elva also gave Derrick a sheepish look.
She knew that Derrick had already seen the surveillance and knew the truth. What he said was just to make her look good. She had achieved her goal.
But now, what if Thomas’ words drove Claudia crazy?
She knew that Claudia dared to challenge Edmond.
“Dad, why don’t we let it go now? I’m fine,” Elva started to intercede, looking over at Claudia as she did so.
