See You Never, Mr. Lamont

Chapter 142

Chapter 142 I heard Everything “Um,” Claudia nodded calmly, “I’m sorry, but your door was unlocked. I heard everything.” I didn’t expect her to admit so openly like this, now it’s Naomi’s turn to feel embarrassed. Naomi put down the phone and hurriedly walked over to try to grab her hand, but Claudia avoided her. Claudia took her phone and turned around, Naomi quickly called out to her, “Claudia, I’m sorry.” Claudia stood still. Naomi stood awkwardly behind her and stammered, “You know, being able to participate in this kind of competition is almost every designer’s dream. I really wanted to participate, so I took your spot. Can you forgive me, considering how I’ve taken care of you these past few years?” Claudia’s lips curled slightly, not even bothering to lift her eyelids. “You said it yourself, it’s every designer’s dream. You stole my dream, how can I forgive you?” She had just heard clearly that Naomi said she was disgusted and that she had endured for a long time. And now, she actually wants to use the relationships of these past few years to ask for her forgiveness! “I have had salary increases in these past few years, and it wasn’t because of your application for me, but because it was granted by the 0.00% 15:19 She voluntarily tore open this layer of veil. Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, Naomi’s face turned extremely ugly. The salary increase was indeed not applied by her, but was given to her by the higher-ups after seeing Claudia’s excellence. She just took credit for it. Since the face has already been torn apart, she stopped pretending as well. She pursed her lips and said in a light tone, “So what do you want? The rice has already been cooked… The competition system has already recorded my face, unless the company gives up the competition, otherwise I can only participate.”

Speaking of this, Naomi’s nervousness had already subsided. The fac that her face was recorded by the system, the company could not give up this competition. Once she got the position, even if the company knew the truth, they wouldn’t blame her. But the most important thing now is to keep Claudia calm. As long as she doesn’t make a scene, everything will be fine. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“Claudia, this time it’s my fault, you can scold me or even hit me if you want, but things have already turned out this way, we can’t possibly make the company give up the competition!” Seeing the helpless look on her face, Claudia’s red lips curled into a beautiful sneer: “Whether the company gives up or not is the company’s business, but you taking away my spot is between us. I bet 13.37% 15:19 Edmond doesn’t even know that his employee traded the spot, right?” When she heard her mention Edmond, Naomi’s face turned pale and then green. Reminded of the recent rumors about Edmond and Claudia’s breakup, Naomi quickly composed herself and said, “You don’t have to use Mr. Lamont to intimidate me. Mr. Lamont is so busy, he doesn’t have time to deal with these things.” Claudia sneered, “So you definitely don’t know about the bet he made with me to make sure I get a ranking, right?” “You said, if he knew that you took away my spot and prevented me from participating in the competition, what would he do?” Naomi was dumbfounded, too shocked to speak. Did she make a bet with Edmond about the game? If Edmond knew that she had taken Claudia’s spot, he would definitely be furious. What came to mind, Naomi trembled all over, her lips quivering like a sieve. Claudia never looked at her again, sneered and pushed the door open, walking out.

She could choose not to participate in the competition, but she couldn’t play the saint. Whatever Edmond needed to know, she would definitely make sure he knew. The next morning, she took a large box of jewelry to the Lamont’s manor. Edmond had already been discharged from the hospital, and it was said that he was recuperating at the Lamont family’s. Claudia knocked on the door, and it opened, revealing a small face. Seeing Claudia, Abel instinctively moved back a little. Claudia raised an eyebrow, her face devoid of any extra expression. “Is Edmond here?” “In,” Abel glanced at her, bit his lip, and stepped aside to let her in. Claudia took a closer look at him and noticed that Abel’s personality seemed to have changed a bit. In the past, Abel was confident and bold, as if he knew he had a strong backing and was fearless. However, now, there is a hint of timidity and cowardice in him. Thinking about the recent uproar caused by Rosalie, she guessed that Abel had also heard about it to some extent. She sighed softly and walked in without looking sideways. Inside the house, the maids were cleaning. Since the last fire, all the ser vants have been replaced, and Claudia doesn’t know any of them. She gritted her teeth and finally grabbed a maid at random, whispering, “Is Edmond here? I need to talk to him…” As soon as the words fell, the door on the second floor opened and Edmond walked out. There was heating in the room, and he simply put on a white shirt, rolling up the sleeves to his elbows, revealing a string of wooden prayer beads. He looked at her from top to bottom, a coldness forming between his eyebrows, and asked, “What are you here for?” She was wearing a simple hip-length coat, and her legs looked as slender as ever. Perhaps because of the cold weather, she let her hair down, hanging it at her waist, looking as beautiful as a freshly picked

rose. Seeing him, her almond-shaped eyes widened slightly, resembling a startled little deer. Edmond’s deep ink-black eyes surged with darkness, like two blazing fires ignited. Claudia raised the box in her hand and said, “Here, I’m returning your things.” Edmond looked at the wooden box in her hand, squinted his eyes, and said coldly, “You finished studying so quickly?” He remembered that the day after tomorrow was the preliminary round. Claudia pursed her lips and her gaze turned indifferent. “I am not eligible to participate in the competition anymore. Here, take your things back. Our agreement is canceled.” “What does it mean?” Edmond’s sharp indifference fell upon her, his fingers tightly gripping the armrest, as he thought of her identity as Seraphina. “A few days ago, the organizers invited everyone who participated in the competition. I didn’t go because I was in the hospital, but Naomi went. I heard that they only recognized faces there, and the participants turned into Naomi. It’s not appropriate for me to take these things without participating in the competition.” The things in the box made her very tempted. Even if it was just for this box of jewelry, she wanted to win a prize. But now it’s not up to her to decide whether to participate or not. Upon hearing these words, Edmond’s face turned as cold as a raging wind. “Since I have given it to you, there is no reason for me to take it back. I will go and talk to the organizers. You can continue participating in the competition.” She had originally planned to give up, but she didn’t expect to be able to continue participating in the competition. Claudia frowned and said softly, “No need to bother, since she has already shown up, let her participate as well.” It was already delicate for her to compete on behalf of the Lamont Group in her current position. Now that things have come to this point, she has already started to have some doubts. However, when Edmond heard these words, his thin lips tightened, his Adam’s apple rolled up and

down, and he desperately suppressed the surging blood and anger. She did want to withdraw from the competition after all! He glanced at the box and said coldly, “Did you want to withdraw from the competition yourself?” The Ferguson family also had a spot in the competition, but their designer suddenly had a car accident and they are currently looking for a new participant. And Horace secretly bought her a house, and she accepted it. Thinking about the Friedan family’s attitude toward Horace, Edmond’s anger surged even more fiercely in his heart. Claudia didn’t expect him to think of her this way and felt inexplicably puzzled. “Did you really think I would tell you if I wanted to withdraw 73.95 15:19 from the competition? Please understand, it’s not that I want to withdraw, but I have been forced to a point where I have no choice but to quit.” “I’ll take care of the competition, you focus on preparing for the preliminaries the day after tomorrow,” Edmond said, giving her a cold glance with a confident tone. Claudia remained silent for a few seconds, glanced at the box, and nodded, “Okay, I hope you can handle it.” According to her knowledge, the organizers of this event were very stubborn and had a strong background. It was as difficult as reaching the sky to try to manipulate behind the scenes. Since Edmond said he could handle it, she decided to take it one step at a time. Seeing her reluctant agreement, Edmond felt a surge of anger welling up inside him as he thought about her accepting the house from Horace. “I offered you a villa, but you refused. How come you don’t reject the houses other men give you?” Claudia’s lips twitched, “What are you talking about? When did I ever want another man’s house?”
