She planned to embarrass Claudia after Claudia appeared and even bought Gilda’s cooperation. Even if Rosalie was with
Edmond, it would disgrace Edmond.
But Rosalie didn’t expect that it would backfire and give Claudia an unexpected advantage!
“Gilda, are you okay? I never thought Claudia would be so despicable. She even managed to bewitch Waldron. I didn’t know
about their relationship. The haute couture of Chanel in this quarter just arrived. I will have them to be sent to you tomorrow. I’m
really sorry.” Rosalie pretended to be weak and pleaded for mercy.
Gilda didn’t doubt her. “We have been friends for so many years. I trust you. But don’t worry. Ervin is still on my side. He said he
would handle it.”
Ervin?
A smile hung on Rosalie’s lips.
“I didn’t expect that Ervin would protect you so much.”
“I am his cousin, and Claudia is just an outsider without any
background. Ervin knows who weighs more in his heart,” Gilda replied confidently.
Hearing this, Rosalie felt relieved.
She was afraid that if Claudia divorced Edmond, she would marry Waldron. But it seemed that Ervin wouldn’t let Claudia marry
into the Friedan family.
“Don’t worry, Rosalie. Even though we failed this time, there will be another chance. I believe Rosalie can’t outsmart me,” Gilda
said, full of hatred.

When it came to playing dirty, Rosalie felt that she wasn’t even one- fifth as scheming as Gilda.
It seemed that this time, Rosalie didn’t return empty-handed.
At least, she gained a new ally.
“Let’s go to the hospital.” Rosalie thought of Cicely.
There were some things Rosalie couldn’t handle personally anymore.

Claudia dropped Edmond off outside the manor. As she was about to leave him behind, Edmond caught hold of the handle, as if
he knew what she had in mind.
“You want to abandon me.” Edmond’s face darkened.
Busted, Claudia immediately blushed.
After Edmond said he didn’t want a divorce, Claudia quickly drove out of the estate. Originally, she planned to go to the hospital
with him, but now she just wanted to go separate ways as they left the estate.
Edmond was off today.
Seeing his gloomy face, Claudia immediately came up with a possibility.
“Edmond, you plan to use your body as payment, don’t you?”
Claudia saved Edmond out of basic human kindness, but he sank so low...
Due to Claudia’s terrified expression, Edmond’s suspicion grew deeper.
Edmond was just testing her, but she almost dropped the electric bike.

Now, her obvious unwillingness confirmed his suspicions.
Claudia was determined to divorce him.
If Edmond refused stubbornly, it might lead to a “biting the hand that feeds” situation.
Edmond stared at Claudia intensely, and the slightly furrowed brow relaxed at the last moment. He said in a h oa rse voice,
which was without any emotion, “Don’t worry. We will get divorced,”
“That’s good.” Claudia patted her chest as if she was relieved,
Edmond clenched his lips tightly, feeling upset.
He wanted to protect Claudia, and if possible, she could live under his protection for a lifetime.
The Lamont family could afford to support her.
But if Claudia wanted to be with the person she loved, Edmond could only let go.
Claudia was right. Edmond gave up on her on their wedding night.
Edmond’s throat was extremely dry, and the clothes on his back were soaked by something. The pain from the wound grew more
intense.
Edmond gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words through the gap of his teeth. “Meet me at the courthouse tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
Never-seen-before lightness was present in Claudia’s smile.
Perhaps saving Edmond made her let go more freely.
“Shall I leave now?” Claudia pointed to the bike.

Edmond took a few steps back.
Just as Claudia was about to start the vehicle, a loud bang came from behind
Edmond fainted!
Claudia quickly parked the vehicle and helped him up. As she was about to perform first aid, her hand touched his back, which
was wet and sticky and emitting a blo ody smell.
It was blood!
Claudia immediately realized that the wound on Edmond’s back was from protecting her from the crystal lamp.
Edmond was taken back to the previous hospital, but this time, the
doctor gave strict orders not to let him leave,
“How did you take care of him? The burn hasn’t healed yet, and the wound is getting worse. It’s easy to get infected and will risk
his life!”
Claudia bit her lip, letting the doctor criticize her.
She didn’t know why Edmond came out with the injury.
Was it for her?
Was he afraid that she would be bullied by the Friedan family?
It couldn’t be, Claudia didn’t think Edmond would be so good to her.
They were supposed to get divorced soon.
“Doctor, please save him no matter what.” Seeing the doctor frowning, Claudia had a bad premonition.
The doctor shook his head helplessly. “I’ve seen disobedient patients

before, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone who doesn’t care about his own life. In this situation, I can only do my best.
The rest is up to fate.”
The doctor’s words left Claudia frozen in place.
Edmond acted as if nothing had happened. Claudia thought Edmond’s injury was not severe, but it had already reached such a
critical point.
“Doctor, please, no matter what.....”
With a “smack,” a hand harshly slapped Claudia’s face, interrupting her words.
“Claudia, you wretched woman. If it wasn’t for you, Edmond would have been sent to the hospital a long time ago!” Tears welled
up in Rosalie’s eyes as she spoke with anger, “I beg you. Let him go! In a divorce, most people just want money, but you’re after
his life!”
The pain on Claudia’s face brought Claudia back to her senses.
She looked at Rosalie, her head buzzing in pain.
Just as Rosalie was about to strike Claudia for the second time, Claudia intercepted her hand.
“I will take responsibility for what I’ve done, but it’s not your place to teach me a lesson.”
Rosalie was about to hit Claudia with another hand. But ignoring Rosalie’s reckless actions, Claudia retaliated with a slap.
Rosalie was stunned.
All the people who were spectating in the corridor fell silent.
Not far away, Waldron and Ervin, holding a fruit basket, were walking
