Chapter 109

Chapter 109 That’s Seraphina “It is thanks to you that your family members were able to come!” Upon hearing Rosalie’s praise, Elva smiled and a hint of pride appeared in her eyes. She never thought that the entire Friedan family would come over, all of this was said by Derrick andher. She thought that her family would side with Claudia and not come over, but she didn’t expect that theyall came over. This indicates that in the hearts of the Friedan family, she is more important than Claudia. “Will Claudia not come?” Rosalie suddenly thought of this point. “No way, Edmond and your child are both five years old. What would she come here for? To humiliateherself?” Elva sneered. Rosalie pursed her lips, a hint of guilt on her face. Edmond acknowledged the child, but he did not acknowledge her. The Lamont family also meant the same thing, acknowledging that Abel could be present, but theywere not willing to admit that Abel was their child, at least not at this banquet. The people of theLamont family did not invite her to attend, she came on her own. The thing that made her happy, she came over to entertain the guests, and Cicely seemed to have noobjections. “I heard that Horace is coming too,” Rosalie said, and Elva’s face immediately turned red. She knew that Horace would come, otherwise she wouldn’t have paid so much attention to herappearance this time. Seeing Elva’s nervousness, Rosalie approached her and told her the information she had found: “Iknow a relative of the Horace family They said this time Horace is looking for a noble lady to beengaged to They heard he has been staying at your house, so he must be interested in someone from

the Friedan family. Upon hearing this, Elva pretended to be indifferent and said, “So what? What if he is interested inSeraphina?” After all, her legs…

A strong sense of inferiority swept over her, causing her to suppres her trembling gums. “Oh my goodness, you don’t think Horace would be interested in her, do you?” Rosalie exclaimed insurprise. “What are you thinking? She’s a divorced woman, and now she’s even pregnant. How couldthe Ferguson family possibly marry her and become a stepfather? Marrying someone like her would bea disgrace, and I wonder if she’ll even be accepted in Vencumfield anymore.” Elva felt joy in her heart, but remained calm on the surface: “But now she is also disabled, not muchbetter than her.” “How could it not get much better? At least you have a clean background!” Rosalie retorted, a coldsmirk curling at the corner of her lips. “And I’ve heard that prosthetics nowadays are made to be justlike the real thing, there’s no difference when wearing pants or skirts compared to normal people.” Rosalie’s words filled Elva’s heart with passion and excitement. 40 (Vouchers Looking through so many families in Wellfort, there weren’t many options left for Horace.Claudia’s “dark history” had already disqualified her from marrying into the Ferguson family, even if theFerguson family had no shame, the Friedan family did. Rosalie was right, if the Ferguson family wanted to form an alliance with the Friedan family, they couldonly choose themselves.The first time, Elva desperately wished to have the surgery done as soon as possible. Although theprosthetic leg was not as good as her original one, at least she wouldn’t have to sit in a wheelchair andlook up at Horace. “I will help you look after Horace and create an opportunity for you two to get along,” Rosalie hadalready understood her intention and took the initiative to please her.

“Thank you.” Elva readily accepted this “kindness”. She had limited time alone with Horace, so there was no need tobe coy in order to achieve her goal. If she really married into the Ferguson family, she would have left Wellfort, and one could even say shewould have left the Friedan family.At this moment, her heart couldn’t be controlled anymore, it was beating wildly, and her eyes were filledwith madness. Outside the Lamont’s manor, the guests were all dressed exquisitely, and the socialites were beautifullyadorned, just like a competition of blooming flowers. A corner of the manor. Yvette stood next to a woman, carrying a large bag and looking dirty and disheveled. The woman was wearing a black suit, with her hair tied up, looking at Yvette who was carrying a bagwith a tired and frustrated expression on her face. “I had already told you that this party was extraordinary and asked you to dress nicely. Why did you stilldress like this? Do you know how rare this opportunity is? If it weren’t for seeing how dedicated you areto your work, I wouldn’t have wanted to bring you here at all.” Yvette carried a bag weighing over ten kilograms, but her words went in one ear and out the other. “Stay close, there will be many business professionals arriving later. When that happens, pretend to bemy assistant. If I don’t speak, don’t interrupt. Got it?” “Got it, Colleen,” Yvette elongated her voice. “Call me Ms. Roberson,” Colleen Roberson raised her glasses and lowered her voice to scold. She looked at Yvette with disdain. If it weren’t for the boss asking her to bring this country bumpkinalong, she would prefer to come alone. Everyone who could attend this banquet was not an ordinary person. As long as they casuallyconnected with a senior executive of a certain company and discussed one or two collaborations, itwould be greatly beneficial for the company. Although she was Yvette’s team leader, this year Yvette’s business skills far surpassed hers. She

vaguely felt that Yvette’s momentum was about to surpass hers, which made her feel very threatened. “Remember, today you were just my assistant,” Colleen smiled and straightened her body unconsciously. Since they were going to discuss cooperation, they had to put ona show of superficiality. Yvette looked at her triumphantly, her lips moved slightly, but in the end, she didn’t say anything. Just then, a luxurious motorhome parked outside, and as soon as the people in the car got out, thejournalists who had been squatting on the side rushed over. “It was someone from the Friedan family!”“The three scions of the Friedan family have arrived!” “Oh my goodness, even Emily came. “Huh, isn’t that Mr. Lamont’s ex-wife standing among them?” “What ex-wife? That was Seraphina!” *** Colleen enviedly watched the people getting off the car. “The Friedan family, the richest family in Wyvernport, never had to worry about becoming a part of theirfamily for a lifetime,” Colleen thought, remembering that none of the three Friedan brothers hadgirlfriends. It is said that these three men all made a vow that they would not get married until they found theirsister. Now that Seraphina has been found, does that mean… Seeing Colleen’s excited expression, Yvette couldn’t help but speak up, “Ms. Roberson, don’t forget thepurpose of our visit.” Colleen impatiently said, “I know, I don’t need you to remind me.” They came this time mainly to discuss cooperation, but who said they couldn’t talk about love besidesdiscussing cooperation? Colleen stared at the Friedan family, and when she saw Claudia, she widened her eyes in surprise andexclaimed, “Oh my goodness, Seraphina is so beautiful!” Yvette looked over at the group of people and immediately spotted Claudia, who was wearing a formal

dress. Her pitch-black hair cascaded down in large waves, while beneath her long eyelashes, there was a hintof indifference. Despite that, her features were enchanting. The simple spaghetti strap dress made herappear lazy yet rebellious. Zhang Yang, flirtatious and indifferent, all converged in her, creating a contradictory and enchantingbeauty. Looking at such a good friend, Yvette’s lips curved into a satisfied smile. Whenever it was, Claudia was always the most eye-catching one, after all, she was the school beauty,and her appearance was always the most outstanding. She used to be a tomboy, always volunteering to escort Claudia home. Little did she know, the personshe once protected had become the fourth Miss Friedan in the Friedan family. That’s great! She admired, but did not envy. Because she was her good friend. Just as she was looking at Claudia, Claudia seemed to feel her gaze and looked back at her. Seeing Yvette, Claudia waved at her. Yvette’s hand had just lifted when it was tightly grasped by Colleen. “Ah, oh my g od! Seraphina issaying hello to me!”
