Chapter 5 Is This What You Wanted?

Large tears rolled down Rosalie’s face. “Edmond, see? She’s always like this, causing harm to others but acting innocent, pretending as if she’s the victim.”

Edmond looked at Rosalie’s wound. Recalling what his assistant told him, his brows furrowed severely.

Rosalie was the Clayton family’s only daughter. At the funeral, when Claudia blamed Rosalie, her words reached the Claytons ears. He heard they were preparing to sue Claudia,

And with a wound like this, searring was highly likely. The Clayton family certainly wouldn’t just let it go.

Thinking of the Clayton family’s methods, Edmond frowned slightly.

He looked at Claudia, his gaze growing colder. “Apologize.”

“What did you say?”

Apologize?

Claudia couldn’t believe her ears. “It was clearly her own fault for crashing into…”

“If not for you, she wouldn’t have crashed into the fish tank.” Edmond’s eyes darkened. His tone was icy cold.

Claudia’s heart shook violently. She gradually turned to look at Edmond. For the first time, she felt his handsome features were frighteningly unfamiliar.

She looked at Edmond as if looking at an executioner. “What if I don’t apologize?”

“Then you’ll never be able to leave the Lamont’s place again.” Edmond’s tone was indifferent as if stating something perfectly ordinary.

This held two implications.

One was that Claudia could forget about divorcing him. Her life would be worse than death. The other was that the Lamont family would take revenge on her forever.

She really hadn’t expected Edmond could be so ruthless.

Claudia felt as if her heart had been slashed open, and the wind would rush in with every breath, cold and painful.

The might of the Lamont family and the Clayton family was something she truly could not contend against.

After all, she was merely a loner, wasn’t she?

She looked at Edmond with bloodshot eyes, resolute.

“Fine, I apologize.”

She suddenly laughed.
