Chapter 52 She Can’t Go The person she least wants to see now is Claudia. “Dad, she is not a member of our family, why should she come to our family banquet?” Elva pointed at Claudia, trembling with anger. If it weren’t for Claudia, she wouldn’t have fallen down from the mountain. “Derrick, please, let her go. I don’t want to see her…” Elva cried, tears streaming down her face, crying like a pear blossom in the rain. Derrick frowned and looked at Claudia. Thomas also looked at Claudia, feeling a bit hesitant. “Ms. Lloyd, I’m sorry…” This meant to drive her away. Claudia pursed her lips, and her heart suddenly twitched. It’s really ridiculous. She had just found her family, and now they are wielding a sickle at her. Even though she had the results of the paternity test on her phone, she still felt extremely uncomfortable. As Elva’s face was filled with tears and the Friedan family members showed concern, Claudia let out a light laugh, feeling that everything had lost its meaning. What about Seraphina? Does she still have a place in this family? Elva was injured, even though it had nothing to do with her. However, with just one sentence, everyone felt it was her fault. Today was the Friedan family’s family banquet, and she definitely shouldn’t have come. She straightened her back, with a polite smile hanging on the corner of her mouth, and walked toward the door. Seeing her like this, Derrick’s mouth twitched, wanting to say something, but then he glanced at Elva. Elva is not in a good mood now and cannot be stimulated anymore. Anyway, since the results of the paternity test haven’t come out yet, let’s wait for them to come out before he apologizes properly.
As Claudia walked away, Ervin quickly walked over and stopped her, saying, “Wait a moment.” He looked at Thomas and said in a deep voice, “Dad, Claudia cannot leave.” Elva’s face immediately turned pale.
Thoma s’s face quickly fell: “Ervin, do you know what you’re doing?” “I knew,” Ervin looked gently at Claudia. He thought about the day he asked Claudia why she didn’t go to find her own family, and she said she was abandoned. He didn’t want her to really become an abandoned person, and he didn’t want to make her feel cold- hearted. Today, he asked Claudia to come over, so he would protect her. Thomas angrily retorted, “Elva is right. Today is our family banquet, and even if Waldron recognizes her as a sister, there is a proper procedure. What does it mean for you to keep her here now?” “Dad, even though I don’t like her, since Ervin is protecting her like this, let her stay…” Elva’s tone softened, “I don’t mind.” She made me feel extremely wronged, even though I was speaking considerately. “So she was Claudia, huh? Isn’t she Edmond’s secret wife?” “What on earth is she doing here, being a part of the Friedan family? Isn’t it awkward for her to attend our family banquet?” “I feel embarrassed for her even though she is not embarrassed herself. If I were her, I would find a hole to hide in right now.” “What’s embarrassing? The Friedan family’s dinner party, of course we had to stay no matter what, even if we had to beg and plead.” Everyone else chimed in, pointing all the signs toward Claudia. Gilda stood beside her and gave her a push. “Hey, if I were you, I would have turned around and left long ago. Who would want to stay here andAll rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
wait to be humiliated?” Ervin glanced coldly at Gilda and said to Thomas, “Dad, Claudia is not just anyone, she is a member of the Friedan family.” “What?” Thomas widened his eyes, unable to understand how his usually well-behaved eldest son suddenly changed his attitude. “What are you talking about in front of so many people?” “I didn’t make it up,” Ervin said with a smile in his eyes, finally speaking the words he had always wanted to say. “Dad, Claudia is Seraphina, the Seraphina we have been searching for over twenty 21 57% 12.08 years.” The words of Ervin caused a great stir. Just as Thomas was taken aback, Bella, who was standing beside him, was also surprised. As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s gaze turned toward Bella. What about Bella? Claudia is Seraphina, but what about Bella? The audience present at the play were all confused. Claudia looked at Ervin in surprise, she didn’t expect him to know about this matter. Thomas obviously had some doubts. He first glanced at Claudia, and his expression became increasingly complicated. He had his doubts, but now, with his eldest son saying it in front of so many people, he broke out in a cold sweat. He remembered Waldron saying not to casually announce Bella’s identity, otherwise he might lose face. But now, he has already lost face. Although Waldron had warned him not to announce Seraphina’s matter to the public, he couldn’t resist and had already boasted about it privately with others. Now Ervin said that Claudia was Seraphina, and his face was burning with pain. “Where did you hear this news from?” he still had some doubts.
“Yeah, Ervin, do you have any evidence? Or have you donę a DNA test?” Elva forgot about the pain in her body and stared at Ervin with red eyes. She confirmed that Ervin had no evidence. Ervin frowned, he indeed had not received the results yet. Seeing Ervin furrowing his brows in thought, Claudia also guessed that he definitely couldn’t produce any evidence. Obviously, Ervin was just speculating. However, she was very grateful that he stood up. She glanced at her phone and was considering whether to help him when Elva’s loud voice rang out. “Ervin had no evidence, but I have the blood relationship test results between Bella and Dad.” She looked at Bella, encouraging her with a smile. “Bella, take out the photos I sent you.” Bella nodded and opened her phone, presenting a photo of the bloodline identification results to everyone. “I had originally planned to wait for Dad to announce Seraphina’s identity before telling you all, but I didn’t expect Ms. Lloyd to impersonate Seraphina and deceive Ervin. Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for exposing you without considering any feelings.” Seeing the appraisal result, Ervin squinted his eyes. How did Bella’s result come out so quickly? “Dad and my brothers were anxious to see the results, so I asked a friend to expedite it. Otherwise, I still wouldn’t have received the results by now,” Elva proudly looked at Claudia. “I don’t know what methods Ms. Lloyd used to make Ervin believe you were Seraphina, but it can’t be faked, and the truth can’t be hidden. Ms. Lloyd’s tactics 68.00% would be better used on someone else in the future.” Looking at the identification certificate in her hand, Claudia almost burst out laughing. She finally knew why Elva always targeted her.
She had dug a hole and was waiting for herself! “What are you waiting for? Why don’t you throw this scammer out?” Elva signaled to the bodyguards. The bodyguards hesitated and walked toward Claudia. Seeing that Thomas did not intervene, they immediately grabbed her hand. Just at that moment, a person ran toward her. “Let her go!” The gentle voice was filled with panic and nervousness. Claudia was suddenly grabbed by a soft hand. “Don’t be afraid, I’m here, they won’t dare to bully you.” Claudia looked up and met a pair of gentle eyes. Claudia’s heart trembled fiercely. “Emily,” Thomas hurriedly approached and embraced her, “Why did you come out?” “I had to come out when you guys were bullying her.” Emily spoke clearly, her eyes were clear, which made Thomas a little stunned.
