SWNOVELS Chapter 163
Chapter 163 All Gone
“Was it you who caused the Waldron car accident?”
“I never expected that the person we worked so hard to raise would turn out to be an ungrateful backstabber, who even went on
to harm my own child!”
“Did Waldron treat you badly? Why did you want to harm him?”
“No, I didn’t want to harm him either!” Elva shouted in excitement. “I didn’t want to...”
Immediately, a sobbing voice came from the phone, “I just didn’t want him to recognize Seraphina, that’s all. I never intended to
harm him, I really didn’t want to harm him...”
“Elva, for the sake of our mother-daughter relationship, I hope you will turn yourself in. Mom hopes you can realize your mistakes
and take responsibility for the wrongs you have done...”
Immediately, there was a loud “bang” as the sound of the vase shattering interrupted her words.
The recording on the mobile phone abruptly stopped.
The atmosphere was dead silent, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
“Who did it?” Thomas stormed toward Elva, his anger boiling over. “Was it you or Rosalie? Speak up!”
Elva’s face turned pale and her whole body trembled.
Thomas didn’t believe her anymore!
“It wasn’t me, Daddy...”
“Don’t call me daddy!” Thoma s’s face turned cold, and the doting expression that was usually present became extremely
indifferent.
Elva hunched her body, burying her head deeply.
She knew that it was useless to say anything at this moment.
Thomas no longer believed her, and neither did anyone in the Friedan family!
Her nose felt sour, but she couldn’t shed a tear. All her tears had dried up on that day.
Gone were her hopes, her future...
All gone...
“Why, Elva... why did you harm Waldron?”
It took Derrick a long time to find his voice again. He never expected that Elva was the one who harmed Waldron.
Even if Waldron wanted to recognize Seraphina, it would still be his freedom. Even if she wanted to stop him, she should not
resort to killing to silence him!
He could tolerate everything about her because she was his sister, but this did not include condoning her murder or condoning
her crimes.
He was a lawyer and had a deep understanding of the bottom line of the law. Human life could not be touched, and the lives of
his loved ones could never be touched either.
“Before Seraphina came back, we all treated you like a sister. How could you... do such a thing?”
Derrick muttered to himself, as if a hopeful person suddenly lost faith.
Thinking about all the things Elva had done and then remembering the deleted recording, Derrick’s eyes turned red.
Seraphina cared for Ervin and Waldron in the past. She was afraid that Elva would be lonely, so she firmly stood by her side. But
who exactly did he stand for in the end?
“You disappointed me so much...”
He choked back tears, shook his head, turned away, and refused to look at Elva’s pleading expression.
Elva gritted her teeth and looked at Waldron, saying, “I’m sorry, Waldron. At first, I just wanted to stop you from getting the
appraisal results, but I didn’t expect that Rosalie’s way of stopping you would be to kill you.”
“When I found out, you were already in the hospital... And the
incident with mom getting hurt, it was also Rosalie. She was afraid that I would actually turn myself in, so she smashed mom with
a vase and threatened me, saying that if I told anyone, the next one to be smashed would be me.”
“What I am saying now, every word is true, if I lie, let thunder strike...
“Enough.” Waldron interrupted her coldly, “No one believes your oath. According to you, all these things were done by Rosalie,
and you were just-forced to become her accomplice?”
Elva choked and nodded, “Yes, it was because of my selfishness, my fear, that I willingly became her accomplice.”
“Bring Ms. Clayton over here,” Thomas said to the person on the
phone, suppressing his anger. “I want to see for myself if what you’re saying is true!”
This incident not only affected the Friedan family, but it had an even greater impact on him.
If it weren’t for this recording, he would never have believed that Elva could do such a thing.
“Are you so wary of Seraphina? In just a month, I didn’t expect you to become so malicious.” Thomas now regrets handing the
project over to her. Elva prospered under them, and Seraphina crushed them. He sees that both of these daughters are here to
crush him!”
“It didn’t happen in just a month, it has always been like this,” Ervin looked at Elva. “That fake Seraphina was also planned by
you, from creating her background to making us believe that she was Seraphina, it was all premeditated by you, just to prevent
the real Seraphina from coming back.”
Thomas immediately thought of the short-haired foreign student he had met before, and he recalled his previous excitement. But
when he heard Ervin’s explanation, it felt like he had been slapped hard.
“Yes,” Elva said, her face ashen, with no intention of arguing further.
Since Ervin mentioned it, he must have found something.
She didn’t intend to struggle anymore. It was her who did it and she would admit it. If it wasn’t her who did it, the other woman
should also be punished.
Would Rosalie be furious if she found out that everything was revealed?
At this thought, Elva inexplicably felt a slight thrill
The words Elva` admitted exploded in Thoma s’s heart like a heavy bomb.
He was already an old man, but he was unexpectedly being toyed around by his own adopted daughter!
His heart ski pped a beat, and he turned pale as he covered his chest.
“Thomas! Thomas, what’s wrong with you!” Emily was the first to notice his abnormality and quickly supported him.
Thomas shook his head, patted her hand, opened his mouth, but no words came out, and tears flowed out first.
Shame!
This was the biggest shame in his glorious life.
Over the years, he had been a powerful figure in the business world, always managing to escape any threats. However, to his
surprise, in the end, he was betrayed by his own family.
Seeing Thomas like this, Emily was also very upset.
She wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and tightly held his hand.
“Thomas...”

After Rosalie left the Clayton family, she didn’t go far. Instead, she stayed close, squatting at the doorstep, waiting for Dempsey
to return.
She wanted to have a good talk with her dad, Arlene absolutely couldn’t stay in the Clayton family.

If it really didn’t work out, she was also willing to marry Hugh. After all, her father had raised her for so many years, he definitely
wouldn’t just give up on her like that.
When Rosalie saw the familiar luxury car driving in, she quickly rushed up and stood in front of the car.
The driver slammed on the brakes, causing Dempsey’s body to lurch forward and his head to hit the backrest of the front seat.
“What’s going on!” Dempsey’s anger reached its peak after being mocked by the shareholders all afternoon after the meeting. “If
you can’t drive, then don’t drive!”
The driver trembled and said, “Mr. Clayton, it is Ms. Clayton.”
Rosalie rushed over and tapped on the car window.
Dempsey’s face darkened as he said to the driver, “Drive.”
Rosalie watched helplessly as the car drove forward, without the windows moving at all.
“Daddy! Wait for me!”
Rosalie gritted her teeth and closely followed.
After a while, Dempsey’s car had already arrived at the entrance of the villa. As soon as he got out of the car, the security guard
approached him and said, “Mr. Clayton, someone from the Friedan family has arrived, right at the entrance.”
“The Friedan family?” Dempsey thought about the fragile relationship between the Friedan family and the present, the mockery
of those old fossils at the meeting seemed to echo in his ears.
It was all Rosalie’s fault!

If she hadn’t acted recklessly, the relationship between the Clayton family and the Friedan family wouldn’t have been so bad, and
he wouldn’t have been scolded at every board meeting.
“What did the Friedan family come over for?”
The security guard saw Rosalie chasing after him and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He said to Dempsey, “Mr. Friedan
called a car to pick up Ms. Clayton and take her for afternoon tea.”
Have you had afternoon tea?
When did Rosalie’s relationship with the Friedan family become good enough to have afternoon tea together?
Dempsey’s eyes were deep and mysterious, filled with calculations. “Coincidentally, I also had free time in the afternoon, so I
went with Rosalie.”
