See You Never, Mr. Lamont by Coral

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…”
