Chapter 156 Disgusting Remarriage? Edmond lowered his gaze and, thinking about Claudia’s attitude, furrowed his brow in confusion. “She wouldn’t remarry.” How could she remarry when she had put so much effort into getting divorced? “If it were me, I wouldn’t want to remarry either,” Everett said with a hint of resentment in his words, his mind filled with the image of him kneeling and calling Yvette “father.” “You were with Rosalie, and now that something happened to her, you turn around and pursue Claudia. Can you guess how Claudia would feel?” “What exactly happened with Claudia’s grandmother in the past? You’re not an accomplice, åre you?” When Claudia’s grandmother was mentioned, Edmond’s eyes darkened, which was terrifying. “Rosalie wanted to marry me, and I told her that Grandma Claudia was still ill. She said she had a friend abroad who was very skilled in this area and could give her grandmother a remote consultation first.” “Did you agree?” Everett sighed, “Well, I can’t blame you either. Rosalie hid it well in the past, especially in front of you, pretending to be weak and pitiful. I tried to warn you, but maybe if her recent misdeeds hadn’t been exposed, you would still be in the dark.” Everett knew that this matter couldn’t be entirely blamed on Edmond. After Tristen passed away, Edmond started seeing Rosalie through a Rosalie was his refuge over the years, even though everyone misunderstood his relationship with Rosalie, he couldn’t be bothered to explain. “Now it seems that Claudia’s grandmother was most likely persecuted by Rosalie. If that’s the case, you and Claudia are destined to be estranged…” All of this was clearly caused by Rosalie. Who could have imagined that she was so malicious? “And after Rosalie did those things, you unconditionally chose to stand on Rosalie’s side…” EverettCopyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
shook his head slowly, “Edmond, this path of pursuing your wife is difficult.” If Claudia’s grandmother were alive, everything would be different, but that old lady passed away. Edmond’s deep pupils gradually dimmed, a fleeting sense of loss flickering in his eyes. He never thought that Rosalie would do such a thing. He had checked Rosalie’s friends and indeed they were skilled in treating Claudia’s grandmother’s illness. However, there shouldn’t have been any issues with the face-to-face consultation. He didn’t know what Rosalie had done, but it had unexpectedly led to Claudia’s grandmother’s death. Everett was right, this knot was difficult to untie. Edmond looked at the sparkling wine in front of him, his eyes darkened, and he picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Everett refrained from saying anything harsher. 14.64% 17:34 He had been counseling Edmond for several years and had not been able to extricate him from the incident where Tristen sacrificed his life to save him. Instead, it was only after he saved Claudia last time that there was finally a change. He began to pay attention to his own needs and preferences, In the past, he lived for the Lamont family, he lived for Rosalie, but he never lived for himself. Thinking about Rosalie’s current miserable situation, Everett almost laughed out loud: “I heard that Rosalie went back to the Clayton family today and was kicked out by Arlene. The two of them had a fight on the spot.” Edmond didn’t even lift his eyes, as if he didn’t care at all about Rosalie’s matters. Everett raised an eyebrow and understood, “Are you completely giving up on her?” Edmond thought about the last time he saw Rosalie and her request, and said lightly, “She still wanted me to marry her.” Everett rolled his eyes and said, “This woman is disgusting. She is clearly pregnant with your brother’s
child and yet she wants to marry you. I don’t know where she gets the audacity.” For the past year or two, Rosalie has been claiming to be Edmond’s fiancée and even pretending to be his first love. Wherever she appeared with Edmond in the past, there would always be journalists. This was all intentional by Rosalie, and Edmond rarely stopped her, 17-24 nor did he have the heart to stop her. Now thinking about it, Claudia’s ability to tolerate these rumors within her marriage was already commendable. If it were someone else, they would probably have been furious. Everett’s mouth twitched, “Anyway, your brother already has children, so I think you should transfer this guilt onto Abel and educate him well. It can be considered as a way to repay your brother’s soul in heaven.” Thinking about the way Rosalie educated Abel, Edmond’s lips curled coldly and his gaze turned icy. *** The next morning, at the Clayton’s manor, Rosalie was awakened by the coldness of the floor. When she came back yesterday, she found her room occupied by Arlene. She was furious and wanted to kick this bit ch out, but to her surprise, this bit ch conspired with the household ser vants and threw her out. She had to sleep on the floor outside the villa until Dempsey returned the next day. Dempsey was away on a business trip, so Arlene dared to act this way. When Dempsey returns, she will definitely expose Arlene’s true colors. Instead of waiting for Dempsey as expected, Hugh arrived instead. He was wearing a white cashmere coat, holding a bouquet of flowers, with his hair neatly styled, clearly dressed up on purpose. Seeing Rosalie lying on the ground, Hugh’s face showed a slight surprise. Rosalie quickly got up, her face turning red to the base of her neck, AA 170 17:34
standing there at a loss, “Hugh…” Hugh walked past her as if he hadn’t seen her, barely avoiding her as he knocked on the door. Soon, a cheerful figure walked out of the door. Seeing Hugh, Arlene’s eyes lit up and she walked warmly toward him, saying, “You’re here? I just made breakfast for you. Zhang Sao, bring out the breakfast I made…” Arlene had chestnut bangs hanging on both sides, and her long hair, reaching her waist, fell straight down. On her delicate oval face, her long and thick eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings. She was wearing a white silk maxi dress with spaghetti straps, showcasing her se xy and graceful figure. Rosalie trembled with anger when she saw the nightgown she was wearing. That was her favorite haute couture nightgown set, expensive in price, and even the design was her own. “Arlene, this is my clothes! The things I have worn, don’t you find them disgusting?” “What is sister saying? You are my real sister, how could it be disgusting to wear the clothes of a real sister? It feels so intimate!” Arlene deliberately smoothed her dress, which was engraved with “RC”, clearly an abbreviation of Rosalie’s name. “You bit ch! Who do you think you are, my sister?” Rosalie snarled, advancing toward her and grabbing her hair. Yesterday, Arlene grabbed her hair like this, causing her to scream in 50.23 17-34 pain and beg for mercy. And now, she is mimicking Arlene’s actions and also gripping her hair. Arlene cried out “Wow” and pitifully called out Hugh’s name. Rosalie sneered, “He won’t care about you, he likes me.” Hugh and she were like a flea on a rope, she was certain that Hugh couldn’t live without her. As long as Hugh doesn’t interfere, she can teach this green tea a lesson.
Upon hearing these words, Arlene pursed her lips and tears streamed down her face. Hugh’s eyes darkened as he pulled Rosalie away. “Have you had enough? She’s your sister! Rosalie, I always thought you were cruel, but I never expected you to even harm your own sister!” Arlene quickly hid behind him, smiling at Rosalie with a wicked grin, like a little demon with sharp teeth. Rosalie felt her blood boil as she witnessed the pure and innocent image of the past being forcefully torn apart. Her face twisted with a sinister satisfaction as she exclaimed, “Sister? This wretched person is not my sister. Hugh, have you forgotten what you and I did? Acting like a good person now? It’s too late!” Hugh’s face changed and his lips slightly changed color. He certainly knew what he had done, he had been an accomplice to Rosalie. Arlene’s eyes flickered, a wicked smile playing on her lips. Her delicate and smooth hand reached out to Hugh’s arm as she softly said, “No matter what you have done, I don’t mind. We will face everything together, and I will be there for you. 17:34 Her words flowed like a warm stream, injecting into Hugh’s heart and transforming into a dose of tranquility. Originally, he was just going through the motions with Arlene, but after spending these few days together, he completely felt the feeling of a normal relationship. Arlene and Rosalie had opposite personalities, one being gentle and considerate, while the other was arrogant and domineering. Any man would prefer the former. Hugh reached out and held her hand, glancing sideways at Rosalie with a calm and indifferent tone, “The most I’ve done is lose my job, but I still have Arlene and can still be a son-in-law to the Clayton family. What about you, Rosalie? What will you lose, without me having to remind you?” Rosalie suddenly widened her eyes, became dizzy with anger, and took a few stumbling steps backwards She didn’t expect that Hugh would dare to confront her!
Arlene’s recent actions made her feel disgusted as if she had eaten fly poop.
