See You Never, Mr. Lamont

Chapter 258 No Way Out

“Yvette!”

Everett’s hurried voice rang out.

Yvette halted in her tracks, Everett quickly stepped forward and took her hand, his gaze firm, “I’ve already severed ties with my family. Now, I’m just an ordinary person, not the eldest son of the Johnson family, and I have no family business to inherit. Would you… give me another chance?”

Broke off the relationship?

Yvette stared at him blankly.

Everett seemed afraid she wouldn’t believe him, showing her the messages between him and his family on his phone: “Look, I’ve returned my credit cards and bank cards to my family. Now, I’m just like you, an ordinary worker. We can be an ordinary couple, unaffected by family ties.”

Unexpectedly, he severed ties with his family, which greatly shocked Yvette.

“Then your marriage alliance with others… Would your family let you go?”

She remembered that Everett was the only child in the family. If he really broke off from the family, Yolanda probably wouldn’t let it go easily.

“They ignored me, which was the condition I initially agreed to for our marriage alliance. If the alliance didn’t happen, they couldn’t restrain me anymore.”

Thinking of the last marriage alliance, Everett chuckled, “That alliance was just for show, this one was doomed to fail.”

That was his purpose.

Only by pretending to obey could he ultimately get what he wanted.

“Yvette, I have nothing now, and I might have to live off you in the future. You won’t despise me, will you?”

Upon hearing this, waves of uncertainty churned in the depths of Yvette’s heart.

Everett had cut off ties with his family, because of her.

It was impossible to say she wasn’t moved, but she couldn’t bring herself to give in at that moment.

“I gave you two days to think about it.” Everett held up two fingers, “If you’re willing to start over with me, I’m willing to start from scratch

too.”

“Starting from scratch, I could do it. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Yvette’s eyes were slightly red, she didn’t say anything, but the scales in her heart had already tipped.

The concept of social status and class hierarchy was a hurdle she couldn’t overcome in her heart, but now, Everett had filled this gap.

“I certainly didn’t want to support a man who lived off others.”

Her nose tingled, and the words she spoke clearly softened.

Moved, how could I not be moved.

This man, he gave up everything she was worried about for her. Since that was the case, then give it a try.

She reminded herself.

Not far away, Claudia was looking at the souvenirs recommended to her by the shop assistant in the souvenir shop.

“The price of this gift was reasonable, very suitable for engaged couples. Marriage is all about beauty, the candies and chocolates inside symbolize sweetness, and this little ornament, it’s different from others‘ gifts…”

The waiter enthusiastically introduced the items, and as she looked at

them, Claudia was slightly distracted.

When she got married for the first time, she didn’t even pick the wedding favors, everything was prepared by the Lamont family. She only remembered that the wedding favors were very beautiful and practical, almost no one was dissatisfied.

The souvenir was reportedly chosen by Edmond that time. She was originally afraid of being embarrassed, but she didn’t expect him to be so thoughtful, and the souvenir was also very considerate.

For her first marriage, she was rushed into it, and apart from the indifferent agreement on the wedding night, there was hardly any mistake to be found.

It was just later, one wrong step led to a series of mistakes.

“Miss, how about this one? If you don’t like this style, we have others…” The waiter’s voice pulled her back from her thoughts.

Claudia snapped back to reality and started picking carefully again.

Just then, a sharp “Seraphina” rang out.

It was Elva.

She sat in the wheelchair, maneuvering it swiftly towards us, her clothes disheveled, her expression pained, looking utterly distressed.

Although she tried hard to conceal the fact that her leg was missing, the emptiness of her right leg still made it obvious that she was different.

“Seraphina!” Elva frantically moved over, grabbing Claudia’s clothes, pleading, “Can you please ask dad to loosen up, not to cancel my credit card, please!”

After being kicked out of the hospital, Elva finally realized the horror of being penniless.

No matter how outrageous she had been in the past, the Friedan family would, at the very least, consider the fact that she was their adopted daughter and treat her leg.

And now, it was Thomas who abandoned her. Without money, her leg couldn’t be treated.

She was scared, afraid that she really couldn’t stand up.

The cuff was fiercely grabbed by Elva, Claudia frowned, pried her hand off, and retreated indifferently.

“Elva, I wasn’t close with Thomas, I couldn’t handle the credit card issue.”

Although she didn’t know the whole story, she roughly guessed the outcome. Thomas and Elva had completely fallen out, which was why her credit card was cancelled.

Elva, having no other options, came to find her.

“You shouldn’t have come looking for me, you should have gone to Thomas, or at the very least, Derrick would have been a better choice than me.” Claudia said, her lips curling in indifference, unmoved.

Why Elva’s leg was like this, she had no interest, but even Thomas had given up on her, showing how detestable her actions were.

“I searched for…” Elva gritted her teeth, tears dropping with a ‘plop‘, “It’s no use, they won’t help me, they told me to find you, saying only if you forgive me.”

“Seraphina, I know I’ve made mistakes in the past, but I regret it now, I’ve repented. Could you please give me another chance, plead for me, no matter what, I’ve made contributions to the Friedan family, even if they were just hardships. When you weren’t with the Friedan family, it was me who stayed by their side and fulfilled my filial duties. Please, spare me! I can’t live without my legs…” Elva cried, her tears falling like rain, she was truly heartbroken.

Her crying was loud, and coupled with her word–by–word accusations, people passing by outside the door all flocked in to watch the commotion.

The waiter in the shop didn’t expect this and was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

Their shop specialized in selling gifts, emphasizing a festive atmosphere. This disabled person coming here to cry was clearly

bringing bad luck to the shop!

She hastily signaled to Claudia.

Claudia frowned, seeing Elva’s shameless expression, there was nothing she didn’t understand. Elva was clinging to her.

Whether Derrick helped her or not was another matter, but Elva definitely did not want to make things easy for her.

Claudia turned around, intending to walk out of the store quickly. As if knowing what she was thinking, Elva lunged forcefully. With a “clang“, the wheelchair fell over, and Elva herself also fell to the ground.

“Sister, you can’t treat me like this, sis!”

Elva was crying so hard that she could hardly catch her breath, her leg was completely exposed. The amputated part of her leg was exposed to the air, desolate and eerie.

Passersby habitually sympathized with the weak, and Elva had evidently become the one being pitied.

“Such a beautiful girl broke her leg, how tragic.”

“How could one treat a patient like this, let alone one’s own sister.”

“People were so cruel back then, even capable of being ruthless to their own younger sisters. Not even a stranger would be that cruel.”

People around started pointing at Claudia.

Upon witnessing this scene, a hint of smugness subtly appeared in Elva’s eyes.

She just couldn’t believe that Claudia would ignore her, even in her

current state.
