See You Never, Mr. Lamont

Chapter 96

Chapter 96 I Never See You As My Brother “So what if she’s my sister? If she continues like this, I don’t mind not having this sister,” Waldron said, running his hand through his blonde bangs. “All these absurd things she has been doing lately are because of you spoiling her. You didn’t teach her what she should have learned, and that’s how she developed this princess syndrome.” “Elva is like this because she’s afraid of losing us,” Derrick thought, looking at Claudia with a complex expression. “As older brothers, we should pay more attention to her men tal state instead of mocking her.” “Who paid attention to Seraphina’s men tal state?” “How come Elva, who was also adopted, was so pampered?” After Waldron finished speaking, Derrick instinctively glanced at Claudia and remained silent, pursing his lips. Waldron crossed his arms and casually said, “Elva, it’s enough for you to have a good brother like me. Ervin and I like Seraphina. Besides, we are brothers, so it’s not good to resort to moral blackmail or get physical.” Upon hearing the sound of action, Derrick furrowed his brow. Just as he was about to say something, Claudia interrupted him, “Derriek, can I ask you a question?” She stared at him fixedly, with clear eyes and a cold voice. She was very close to Ervin and Waldron, but she was very unfamiliar with him. Derrick’s eyelashes drooped, concealing the disappointment in his eyes. “If next time, Elva says that I hurt her again, will you blindly take her side?” She finished speaking, and Derrick was taken aback. Claudia chuckled, “If that’s the case, please don’t lecture me as my older brother.” “Because I never considered you as my brother.” Derrick shivered all over.

He did not treat her as Derrick, so naturally he could not discipline her in the name of Derrick. She acknowledged her father, acknowledged her mother, acknowledged Ervin and Waldron, but she refused to acknowledge him. It is fake to say that I didn’t feel uncomfortable. He opened his mouth, and his heart felt like a heavy stone pressing down on it, making it difficult for him to breathe, causing his face to turn pale. Without waiting for his reply, Claudia had already left.

When she left, her hands were still in her pockets. There were the same small gifts inside. Originally, this gift was also intended for Derrick. Now, there was no need for it. The gift and the person, both had to be abandoned. Derrick’s preference for Elva didn’t make her feel sad, because Ervin and Waldron also favored her. It’s difficult to please everyone, but as long as there is someone standing by her side, she is not alone. But she was not a pushover and could not be easily manipulated by others. Like Waldron, she also did not like being morally blackmailed. She opened her phone, and just then, Pedro sent a survey. She saw Elva’s name at a glance. Pedro said that the Clayton family did not give Rosalie 800 thousand dollars. The money used to hire the hitman was transferred from another account. And this account was Elva’s card overseas. “Should we continue searching?” Pedro asked. Claudia lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings. “Checked.”

She hoped the outcome was not what she had expected. If the hired killer was not Rosalie but Elva… I’m sorry about that. She had already lost her family and experienced that kind of pain. Afterward, she never wanted to lose again. *** Derrick stumbled upstairs and as he opened the door, Elva’s video call came through. After the call was connected, Elva’s playful expression appeared on the screen. “Derrick, when you come to see me tonight, bring me some fried chicken…” Derrick interrupted her and said, “Elva, I didn’t go to the hospital tonight.” The smile on Elva’s face froze, and she nervously asked, “What’s wrong, Derrick? Didn’t you say you would come to see me every night… What happened?” Derrick looked at her in the video and said, “The police investigation results are out, Elva. Seraphina’s fingers never even touched you.” Elva’s face turned pale. “You said someone pushed you back then, if it wasn’t Seraphina, who else could it be?” There was a strong weariness in Derrick’s plain words. Elva bit her lower lip tightly until the taste of blood spread, then she choked out, “I don’t know either… but at that moment, I really felt someone pushing me…” “Since the police have investigated and confirmed, it definitely wasn’t my sister who pushed, but Derrick, I didn’t lie…” “You made me misunderstand Seraphina,” Derrick’s voice was faint. When Elva heard these words, she was horrified. Now the Friedan family no longer had anyone to help her, except for 45.94% NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

If she lost Derrick’s support again, everything in the Friedan family would be far away from her in the future. She enjoyed more than twenty years of being the center of attention and living a luxurious life, which made it impossible for her to live frugally. She was both flustered and anxious, “I was unconscious at that time, I had no idea that you misunderstood my sister. Later, I explained it in the hospital, my sister couldn’t have pushed me, but I don’t know why you don’t believe it.” Tears were clinging to Elva’s long eyelashes. Derrick stood still in his tracks, holding his phone. Yes, at that time Elva was unconscious, and he instinctively blamed her. No one forced him, it was he who determined that Seraphina was a bad person. He couldn’t blame Elva. The one he should blame, the one he should reflect on, was himself. 4 Thinking of Claudia’s words “I never saw you as a brother either,” Derrick’s hand holding the phone went limp, suddenly feeling weary. “Elva, I was a bit tired,” he hung up the phone weakly before Elva could say another word. Elva widened her eyes, unable to believe everything in front of her. This was the first time Derrick hung up the phone on his own. A Derrick was the person who loved her the most, he would never treat himself like this before, it was all because of Claudia. She looked at the chat box on her phone and suddenly frowned. She heard that Craig came to Wyvernport University. Craig had once mentored her and regarded her as his proud protégé. Every year, she would go to Craig’s place for further studies.

The Friedan family’s main field of business is in real estate. She has been studying architecture since elementary school. When Craig arrived, she naturally went to support him. I had planned to wait for Derrick to come in the evening and discuss this matter with him, but I didn’t expect to wait for anything. How did we get to this point? She looked at the empty ward and suddenly felt a little lost. The sound of knocking on the door rang out, and she snapped back to reality, coldly saying, “Come in.” When Elva saw the person walking in from outside, she furrowed her brows and said, “Why did you come?” A reserved couple stood at the entrance, with the middle-aged woman sporting red curly hair and wearing a cheongsam, while the man was dressed in a suit. They both appeared to be meticulously dressed, but he awkwardly carried a snakeskin bag, which seemed quite out of place. Elva saw them, her face full of disgust and disdain. “Why are you dressed like this? Didn’t I give you money? Don’t tell me you don’t have money to buy clothes again?” The middle-aged woman walked over with her head held high and chest puffed out, saying, “Didn’t your stepmother wear this dress before? I saw it in the store and bought it. How does it look? Your biological mother wearing it, isn’t she worse off than her?”
