Chapter 49 The Man She Cheated With The waiter dared not speak and timidly looked at Rosalie. Rosalie’s beautiful face instantly turned ugly as she only prevented Claudia from spending money, but did not say she would buy all the dresses. The total cost of buying all the dresses in this store would be several tens of millions. She didn’t even try on some of the clothes, how could she have bought them all? However, in front of so many people, Rosalie couldn’t directly deny it, so she had to politely say to the waiter, “Wrap up what I just said.” Claudia sneered and began to choose a dress. Now, neither the waiter nor Rosalie dared to speak up anymore. Claudia chose a white strapless long dress. The handmade lace of the long skirt was lined around the hem, and the area of the bust was adorned with small pearls strung into little butterflies, encircling the shoulders. They harmoniously echoed the white roses on the chest, creating a unique and delicate design. She really liked this design. The waiter’s mind was filled with that card. Seeing her pick up this dress and examine it, he approached and asked softly, “Do you want me to wrap this garment for you?” The attitude was completely different from just now. Claudia chuckled lightly, impressed by the waiter’s skill of serving dishes to customers. “Help me wrap this package.” Claudia ignored her and handed the dress to another waiter. The waiter was a new intern who hadn’t taken any orders all day and had been hiding in the corner, secretly watching. At that moment, Claudia handed something to her, and she thought she was dreaming. She remembered that this piece of clothing cost 300 thousand dollars. If the order was successfully placed in her hands, the commission alone would be enough for her to live on for a year. The initial waiter’s face immediately fell when he saw Claudia handing the clothes to someone else.
Edmond stood by and watched her, a slight smile playing at the corners of his lips. He knew that Claudia would not let herself be taken advantage of. When he saw her take out that card, he was even a little happy. This indicated that she didn’t want to distance herself from him, at least not to the point of never having any contact again. However, the cashier’s words in the next second made him lose face. “Excuse me, is the cardholder of this card named ‘Pedro”?”
Claudia softly murmured “Hmm.” When Pedro left, he gave her a pack of cards, telling her not to treat herself badly and to spend it as she pleased. 40 Vouchers During the time of the Lamont family, Edmond was never strict with money toward her, and she didn’t need to use her own savings. But now divorced, she left all the valuable jewelry and clothes with the Lamont family. If it weren’t for the Friedan family’s home banquet, she wouldn’t have casually bought such a dress. In Enigma, her money was always managed by Pedro, so she naturally didn’t hesitate to spend it. “Get me another one of your latest handbags.” Edmond found the word “Pedro” to be harsh on his ears. What does it mean? She had already started openly spending other men’s money before the divorce. Edmond’s face was terribly gloomy. Others didn’t think much and assumed that this “Pedro” just happened to have the same name as the celebrity. Rosalie also thought so. “Edmond, is this Pedro the wild man she cheated on with?” What kind of man can be so wealthy and willingly be a mistress? She doesn’t believe Claudia has such great charm. “Will she keep financially supporting that man?”
If it was like this, then everything could be explained. Edmond’s narrow eyes narrowed slightly, cold and indifferent. “I thought she was so capable, but it turns out she was just using someone else’s money all along,” Rosalie said, wishing she could have stopped Claudia right then and there. After Claudia finished swiping her card, she sarcastically snorted, “Do you have any occasion to wear this kind of clothes?” “You are a designer, and there are very few occasions where you need to wear this kind of clothes. I advise you to think carefully, there is no need to pretend to be rich.” The thought of her spending Edmond’s money made Rosalie’s blood boil. “Putting on a brave face?” Claudia laughed. “Ms. Clayton, you really like to meddle. Money can’t buy my happiness, I am willing.” Rosalie wanted to say more, but she was stopped by Edmond. “Edmond!” Rosalie exclaimed angrily, “She is spending your money!” It was because of this. Claudia sneered, “You’re thinking too much. This isn’t his money.” “Is it not his money? Can someone who earns a monthly salary of ten thousand afford this?” She had investigated Claudia’s salary, which averaged only ten thousand per month. Meanwhile, this dress costs millions, something she couldn’t afford even after working at the Lamont Group for ten years. “They divorced and still spent other people’s money, really shameless…” “Rosalie!” Edmond frowned, “She didn’t spend my money.” He remembered that when Claudia moved away, she even left behind the jewelry he had given her. She lacked nothing and scorned everything about the Lamont family. This realization embarrassed him a little. “I’m tired, make sure you call me when you’re ready,” Edmond said, furrowing his brow. He walked
away first, pausing briefly as he passed by Claudia. Finally, he quickly walked out. I bumped into Derrick just as he walked in at the entrance. “Hey, Edmond, what are you doing here?” Derrick exclaimed in surprise. “Come over and do something.” Edmond nodded at him and as he brushed past, Derrick called Claudia’s name. “Why does it take so long to choose a piece of clothing? Did you find something you like? I am a VVIP member of this store…” Derrick’s enthusiastic appearance left the people in the store dumbfounded. Is today the top member day? How come all these VVIPs came? Edmond tightened his lips and couldn’t help but look back, only to see Derrick coming out with bags in his hands, chatting and laughing with Claudia. In the sunlight, the boy looked handsome and sunny, while the girl had skin as smooth as clouds, with clear and sparkling eyes, like an escaped elf. 12:17 Watching their receding figures, Edmond’s narrow eyebrows furrowed tightly. When she was with him, she was cautious and reserved. After the divorce, his wife, on the contrary, blossomed like a flower. *** In the store, Rosalie watched as Derrick and Claudia left together, unable to snap out of her daze for a long time. What did she see? She saw Derrick and Claudia coming in and out, talking and laughing. Didn’t Elva tell her that Derrick didn’t like Claudia? How come they now look like a family? The words “a family” popped up, scaring Rosalie and making her tremble all over. Hasn’t the Friedan family already recognized Claudia?
She took a photo of the two of them from behind and quickly sent a message to Elva: “I just saw Derrick, he was leaving with Claudia, laughing and talking. What’s going on? Didn’t you say Derrick doesn’t like her?” Elva, who was putting on makeup, quickly stood up and replied, “Are you sure it’s the two of them? Did you not see it wrong?” Rosalie: You didn’t see wrong. I just had an argument with her. Derrick came in and took her somewhere. Do you know where they went? Elva’s hands trembled and she fell onto the chair. “Oops!” The makeup artist didn’t hold the lipstick steady and accidentally smeared it on her face. “Ms. Friedan, I’m sorry!” The makeup artist was sincerely terrified, trembling all over in fear. However, Elva didn’t care at all. She sat numbly in the chair, feeling a chill run through her body. Today was the Friedan family’s annual family feast. Derrick didn’t plan to bring Claudia home, did he? Did they already know that Claudia was Seraphina?!Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
