See You Never, Mr. Lamont by Coral

Chapter 168 Hello, My Name Is Eileen
Did she really come?
The middle-aged woman was no longer sleepy at this moment and quickly straightened her body.
There stood a young woman in a cheongsam beside her, beautiful and elegant, appearing to be in her early twenties.
When Claudia arrived, the cheongsam woman instinctively looked toward the door, her face showing a hint of nervousness.
She heard that the Lamont family had a banquet, so she quickly asked her aunt to bring her over.
She liked Edmond, she had liked him for a long time.
Edmond was the first heir of the Lamont Group. He was handsome and had a promising future. Even though there were rumors about him having a love child and getting divorced, she didn’t mind.
Although Claudia was the fourth Miss of the Friedan family, she probably didn’t have much chance of remarrying if she wanted to.
“Aunt…” She nervously grasped the middle-aged woman’s sleeve, and the middle-aged woman kindly patted her shoulder. “Don’t worry, Eileen, Claudia is inferior to you in every aspect.”
Eileen Schmidt forced a smile, but the tension on her face did not diminish.
Seeing her like this, the middle-aged woman sighed slightly. Her niece is indeed excellent, but just a little too shy.

“Hmm!” Eileen glanced at Edmond and her face blushed slightly.
Upon hearing Claudia’s arrival, Cicely was overjoyed, her face flushed, and her spirits high.
The rest of the Lamont family’s words and comments did not affect Cicely, as she paid no attention to the opinions of the other branches of the Lamont family. The only person she cares about now is Claudia.
Claudia walked in under the gaze of everyone, and her footsteps paused when she saw the scene inside the room.
She had never seen so many people at a family banquet before, not even at the Friedan family’s last banquet. It was even more crowded now, with no space to sit even in the hall.

Today, she wore a simple smoke blue woolen coat, with the fur collar accentuating her fair face even more delicate. She held a simple small bag in her hand, and although her outfit was nothing special, she still looked different from others. Perhaps it was because her face was so beautiful that the clothes became a complement.
Those big and bright eyes were particularly captivating, with curled eyelashes, a straight nose, devoid of any technological traces, completely natural, and exuding a natural charm that inexplicably attracted everyone’s gaze.
She walked straight toward Cicely and softly called out, “Mom.”
Upon hearing this title, the audience watching the play seemed to awaken instantly.
“Ms. Lloyd, you and Edmond are divorced, calling you ‘mom’ doesn’t seem appropriate.” The speaker was an elderly woman, with a rather disdainful expression.
“It was me who made her call me that. I like it, I’m willing to. What’s
the matter? Do you have any objections?” Cicely spoke rudely, with a face full of hostility, “Mind your own business, my family affairs are none of your concern.”
The old lady’s face turned pale and then green.
“Come, Claudia, come sit here,” Cicely said, ignoring her. She pulled Claudia to sit beside her and said softly, “I’ve always wanted to host a family banquet when you were with the Lamont family, but Edmond said you were in a secret marriage and it wasn’t suitable to make it public. I never expected that this family banquet would happen so soon.”
Claudia glanced at Edmond, but his deep eyes revealed no emotions.
From the moment she entered, his gaze remained fixed on her.
He didn’t expect her to come.
The assistant had been waiting for two hours, thinking that she wouldn’t come.
Claudia’s heart tightened at the deep pupils of Edmond.
She was ultimately afraid, afraid that her mother-in-law would expose her affairs to the public.
“Since everyone is here, let’s discuss the arrangements.” As soon as Cicely’s words fell, the atmosphere immediately became tense,
No one would have so openly confessed their affairs.
Cicely’s words sent a shiver down the spines of the Lamont family, even though they were men tally prepared.
As soon as Claudia mentioned it, she quickly grabbed Cicely’s hand, and Cicely smiled and held her hand.
“You should all know that I had a terminal illness. I didn’t have much time left to live, but I was about to face life and death calmly because I had nothing to worry about.”
Her two sons have both grown up.
At this moment, Cicely gratefully held Claudia’s hand and said to everyone, “After I die, all my personal property will be given to Claudia.”
“What?”
“Cicely, you were cautious!”
***
Everyone was surprised.
Cicely had several billion worth of properties under her name. When she was young, Cicely didn’t have many hobbies, she just liked buying houses. Over the course of several decades, the prices of these houses had already multiplied by tens of times.
She actually said that she wants to give all her assets to Claudia?
“Are you crazy? This woman has already divorced Edmond. How can you give the Lamont family’s property to an outsider!”
“Yeah, you really need to think about it carefully! This is not a small matter, don’t keep being confused!”
The rest of the Lamont family were both speechless and envious.
They thought that hosting a family banquet was to explain something important. After all, they were all involved in it. However, they didn’t expect that Cicely would give all her property to a stranger.-

The hall immediately buzzed with discussions, but Cicely seemed oblivious and asked the maid to bring her paper and pen. She promptly started writing her “will”.
