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 and her. She thought that her family would side with Claudia and not come over, but she didn’t expect that they all 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 humiliate herself?” 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 they were not willing to admit that Abel was their child, at least not at this banquet. The people of the Lamont 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 no objections. “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 her appearance this time. Seeing Elva’s nervousness, Rosalie approached her and told her the information she had found: “I know a relative of the Horace family They said this time Horace is looking for a noble lady to be engaged 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 in Seraphina?” 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 in surprise. “What are you thinking? She’s a divorced woman, and now she’s even pregnant. How could the Ferguson family possibly marry her and become a stepfather? Marrying someone like her would be a 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 much better than her.” “How could it not get much better? At least you have a clean background!” Rosalie retorted, a cold smirk curling at the corner of her lips. “And I’ve heard that prosthetics nowadays are made to be just like 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 the Ferguson 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 could only choose themselves. The first time, Elva desperately wished to have the surgery done as soon as possible. Although the prosthetic leg was not as good as her original one, at least she wouldn’t have to sit in a wheelchair and look up at Horace. “I will help you look after Horace and create an opportunity for you two to get along,” Rosalie had already 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 to be 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 she would have left the Friedan family. At this moment, her heart couldn’t be controlled anymore, it was beating wildly, and her eyes were filled with madness. Outside the Lamont’s manor, the guests were all dressed exquisitely, and the socialites were beautifully adorned, 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 bag with 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 still dress like this? Do you know how rare this opportunity is? If it weren’t for seeing how dedicated you are to 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 be my 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 bumpkin along, she would prefer to come alone. Everyone who could attend this banquet was not an ordinary person. As long as they casually connected with a senior executive of a certain company and discussed one or two collaborations, it would be greatly beneficial for the company. Although she was Yvette’s team leader, this year Yvette’s business skills far surpassed hers. SheNôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
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 on a 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, the journalists 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 their family for a lifetime,” Colleen thought, remembering that none of the three Friedan brothers had girlfriends. It is said that these three men all made a vow that they would not get married until they found their sister. 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 the purpose 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 besides discussing cooperation? Colleen stared at the Friedan family, and when she saw Claudia, she widened her eyes in surprise and exclaimed, “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 hint of indifference. Despite that, her features were enchanting. The simple spaghetti strap dress made her appear lazy yet rebellious. Zhang Yang, flirtatious and indifferent, all converged in her, creating a contradictory and enchanting beauty. 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 person she 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 is saying hello to me!”
