See You Never, Mr. Lamont

Chapter 141

Chapter 141 You Don’t Qualify for the Competition Given the situation, Rosalie’s position in the Clayton family was already in jeopardy. As long as Rosalie was no longer under the protection of the Clayton family, everything would be fine. Warren checked the last interview that the journalist conducted, which was leaked by Rosalie and the journalist she hired. Rosalie was always causing trouble. And her revenge against Rosalie had just begun. “Ms. Lloyd, your discharge procedures have been completed. If you experience any abnormalities, please remember to come to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible.” The attending doctor handed her a thick stack of documents, his face filled with seriousness. The doctor asked her to continue staying in the hospital, but she really didn’t like the air and environment there. If she only needed rest, she could do it at her own home. Not to mention, the preliminary round of the jewelry competition is just two days away, and she wants to prepare well. Ervin gave her a set of keys to a house. This house was a spac ious flat with a river view, located in the high-tech district in the city center, close to both the Lamont Group and the Friedan family. Because Waldron strongly insisted that she accept, she did not refuse. Walking out of the hospital, Waldron greeted her and took the things from her hand, opening the car door for her. Seeing the person sitting in the car, Claudia was stunned. “He insisted on squeezing in, no matter how hard we tried to drive him away,” Waldron rolled his eyes helplessly. Horace shyly smiled at Claudia and said, “I insisted on coming, you won’t be angry, will you?” “No,” Claudia said calmly, as she opened the passenger door and got in. Horace’s eyes dimmed slightly when he saw that she didn’t sit next to him. He never expected to send such a message at the same time as Pedro. He knew that the mistake

caused a lot of trouble for Claudia, and because of this, Elva took away all the projects in her hands. These days, he felt like time was passing slowly, and his dark circles had deepened a bit. He felt guilty. The riverside house given to Claudia was actually his. He pleaded with Ervin and Waldron for a long time, and the two finally decided to keep it a secret for him.

Only in this way could his inner guilt be alleviated. Claudia sat in the passenger seat and let out a gentle sigh. “Do you have confidence in that jewelry competition of yours? If you don’t want to participate, you can withdraw.” Waldron urged eagerly. Anyway, winning the game would have earned reputation for the Lamont Group. In his opinion, it didn’t matter if they didn’t receive this award. “Withdrawing from the competition… doesn’t seem like a good idea,” Claudia said, somewhat bemused. “What’s wrong? You’ve already divorced him, so you have no obligation to help his company carn reputation!” Waldron sneered, “You’ve caused such a big trouble and he hasn’t even shown any concern, he’s even worse than Horace.” “Cough, cough…” Horace pressed his fist against his lips and coughed a few times. The atmosphere in the car became tense for a few seconds. Claudia smirked and rolled her eyes, thinking that if Waldron knew that Edmond not only didn’t show any concern but also warned her that he would make her life miserable, he would probably explode on the spot. Although the child in her belly was his, he did not “show” any signs that she had indeed felt disappointed for a while, but this further indicated that he did not know the child was his. That’s fine too, we don’t owe each other anything, and there won’t be any disputes in the future. It is best that he never knows. Claudia’s lips curved into a beautiful arc, and her eyes became even clearer.

“Waldron, you dropped me off at the Lamont Group building, I went upstairs to get something.” The competition is in two days, and the tickets for the competition are still at the Lamont Group, she had to go 000100 15:19 get them. When Waldron heard that she was going to the Lamont Group, his face darkened, but he still obediently escorted her downstairs. “We were waiting for you downstairs.” Claudia initially wanted to refuse, but seeing Waldron’s displeased expression, she reluctantly agreed in the end. It was the peak time for getting off work at noon, even though she was wearing a mask, she was still recognized by her colleagues from the Lamont Group. “Claudia! How did you come here?” “Are you okay? I heard that you went to the hospital.” Although they were all concerned, their eyes occasionally glanced at her stomach. Edmond saved Claudia, but the news of Claudia being pregnant with another man’s child had already spread throughout the Lamont Group. Privately, these people had already criticized Claudia extensively. Cheating, Edmond almost became a father, and anyone who hears about it would think she has no sense of propriety. Who is Edmond? He is the leader of the Lamont Group and also a handsome and wealthy man. After taking over the Lamont Group, he directly elevated it to the second top company in Wyvernport. The Lamont family also became the second wealthiest family, just behind the Friedan family. How many women wanted to marry him, and Claudia, who married him, was still not satisfied, almost making Edmond a father. 43.78% All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

15:19 Since then, Claudia became the enemy of all the women in the company. Being looked at with ill intentions by these people, Claudia remained unmoved and walked steadily toward the Design Department. The tickets for the competition were with the leader of the Design Department. The leader of the Design Department, Naomi Wallace, saw the message in the group chat the moment Claudia joined the company. When Claudia knocked on the door, she was still polite. When the admission ticket was mentioned, Naomi smiled apologetically, “I’m sorry, Claudia, but you are no longer eligible to participate. The ticket has already been given to someone else.” Claudia paused and furrowed her brows, asking, “Wasn’t I the one participating in the competition? When was it changed?” “The organizers of the competition required to meet all the participants in advance, but we couldn’t reach you. Later, we heard that you were hospitalized, so we had to have someone else from the department replace you to participate. Later, we found out that it was the admission notice, and she showed up. Only she could participate in the competition.” Upon hearing these words, Claudia’s heart sank heavily. Thinking of the large box that I had kept with various ornaments, my nose felt a bit sour. She had been looking forward to this competition for a long time, and Edmond had also made a bet with her, making it necessary for her to achieve a ranking. I didn’t expect the opportunity to slip away like this. 58.56% 15:19 Naomi’s face was filled with apology. “I’m really sorry, I should have personally asked you if I had known.” During her years working at the Lamont Group, Naomi was always treated well and even received a

salary raise every six months. She was considered a trusted individual at the Lamont Group. Seeing Naomi feeling guilty like this, Claudia felt uncomfortable deep down but didn’t show it. She deliberately cut off contact with the outside world these days for quiet recuperation, which may be the reason why she didn’t receive any phone calls. “It’s okay, it’s my own problem. Thank you, Naomi. I’ll leave now.” Naomi nodded and personally escorted her to the door. As Claudia walked out of Naomi’s office, she realized that she had forgotten her phone. She turned back to get it again, just as she was about to knock on the door, Naomi’s triumphant voice came from inside: “It’s done, all I have to do is tell them she voluntarily withdrew from the competition.” Claudia’s hand froze in mid-air. The office door was not closed, there was still a gap. Naomi thought she had left and enjoyed having her own separate office, without intentionally lowering her voice. “She had a great talent for design, and in recent years, she almost overshadowed me. I have tolerated her for a long time. The things she did were disgusting. If she represents the Design Department in the competition, I will be laughed at by others.” “You know my design ability, it’s not worse than hers. I can still win 74.99% 15:19 awards in our department without her. Besides, her relationship with Mr. Lamont is very delicate now. If I tell the higher-ups that she voluntarily withdrew, no one will notice.” Naomi’s abacus rattled loudly, unaware that every word she said was heard by her. Her respected boss turned out to dislike her so much. She has worked hard for these years, disguising herself. Claudia’s lips curled into a cold and glamorous smile, and then she forcefully pushed open the door. Seeing her come and go, Naomi’s words suddenly got stuck in her throat, only to realize that the door was not closed.

“Claudia, why are you back again? And why didn’t you knock before coming in?” Naomi forced a grimace, her voice trembling slightly. “You heard what I just said, didn’t you?”
