Chapter 169 Farewell Dinner
Eileen?
This name is easy to remember.
Later, Eileen walked up to Edmond with the paper in her hand and whispered, “Mr. Lamont, please sign here to
indicate that you are willing to relinquish Cicely’s assets.”
Edmond twisted the paper with one hand, glanced at her lightly, and finally picked up the pen to sign his own name
on the paper with elaborate strokes.
Taking the pen with warmth, Eileen’s face couldn’t help but blush. She carefully put the pen into her pocket.
The whole process took only a few minutes, but it was already settled. Cicely gave all her properties to Claudia.
Cicely signed the agreement, and all her strength seemed to drain out of her body as she collapsed weakly.
“Claudia, could you make me a plate of beef pasta? I really want to eat the beef pasta you make.”
Claudia’s eyes turned red as she walked into the kitchen and started making beef pasta.
This pasta was her specialty. In the past, she used to wait for Edmond to come home together with her mother-in-
law. When her mother-in- law got hungry, she would personally cook a plate of beef pasta.
Since divorcing Edmond, she rarely cooked.

the beef and slice it. The beef slices are briefly rolled in water and then scooped out. Sprinkle some green onions
on top. Soon, a plate of clear and flavorful beef pasta is ready.
Claudia walked out while holding the noodles, suddenly feeling her hands were a bit greasy. She handed the noodles
to the maid and went into the adjacent restroom to wash her hands.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis toilet was used by the ser vants, and she rarely came in.
I didn’t expect to see Eileen leaning by the door as soon as I entered, holding something in her hand, not knowing
what she was examining.
Claudia had just prepared to say hello when her phone rang.
Eileen suddenly turned around and quickly put away what she had in her hands.
Claudia smiled apologetically and then answered the phone.
“Hasn’t that person Warren been found yet?” Pedro’s voice was filled with impatience. “Leave it to me, I’ll go help
you find him.”
There were other people here, Claudia thought for a moment and said lightly, “Let’s talk about this matter in a few
days.”
Elva will be sent to the old house tomorrow. Even if there is
something, she cannot make waves for the time being. There are more important matters to be resolved now.
Pedro wanted to say something else, but Claudia whispered, “I have something to do now, I’ll call you back
tomorrow.”
He hung up the phone immediately after speaking.
Eileen had already put away the things in her hands, and there was a friendly smile on her face. “It seems like Ms.
Lloyd had a good
relationship with Pedro, right?”
Claudia frowned, she didn’t speak out loud and had turned the volume of her phone to the lowest, how did Eileen
know that she was talking to Pedro?
“Sorry, Ms. Lloyd, my hearing is naturally different from others, I didn’t intentionally eavesdrop. I have watched
Pedro’s most famous TV drama and remember his voice, so I recognized it immediately.” Eileen’s face was full of
apology, her hands unsure of where to place them, showing signs of nervousness.
Is your hearing different from others?
Claudia’s heart sank suddenly.
Fortunately, she had just stopped Pedro from saying more, otherwise her identity would have almost been exposed.
As Claudia recalled the cold gaze that Eileen had turned back with just now, a hint of unease slid through her, and
her fondness for Eileen suddenly turned into caution.
“Pedro and I were just friends.”
She briefly explained one sentence.
Eileen smiled, seeming somewhat incredulous, but she didn’t continue the conversation. She smiled at Claudia and
said, “My aunt should be looking for me, I’ll go out first.”
Claudia nodded and watched her departing figure, furrowing her brows slightly.
She returned to the living room, where people had gradually dispersed, but the two people standing side by side at
the entrance were
somewhat conspicuous.

Eileen took out her phone and seemed to show something to Edmond. Edmond focused on what was on the phone,
with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. The two of them exchanged words, appearing quite harmonious.
One was dressed in a cheongsam, with a graceful figure, while the other was dressed in a suit, looking quite well-
matched.
Claudia turned her gaze away and walked over to Cicely. By then, Cicely had already finished her noodles and even
ordered a glass of iced cola.
After finishing the cola, Cicely patted her stomach contentedly, feeling very happy with her meal.

mom’s advice, if you still like him, you can try giving him another chance.”
Just now, Claudia stared at Edmond and Eileen for a full minute. She saw it all, she knew that sometimes, even if
you say you can let go of certain feelings, you might not actually be able to.
Claudia was about to speak when Cicely waved her hand and left with the maid accompanying her.
Although it was late, she didn’t want to stay overnight at the Lamont family’s.
She had just reached the door when Edmond’s voice faintly whispered in her ear, “Take Ms. Schmidt to the guest
room on the second floor.”
The second floor was the floor of her and Edmond’s marital home, and the largest guest room was also on the
second floor. Was this meant to give the best room to Eileen?
Claudia subconsciously glanced at Eileen, whose face turned red to the

roots of her neck, like a shy blooming flower.
Ignoring the discomfort in her heart, Claudia walked briskly out of the Lamont family without looking back.
The next morning, Claudia was awakened by the doorbell before she had even woken up.
Ervin stood outside the door, smiling gently, “Dad asked me to call you back for dinner. Today Elva was sent back to
the old house, which means we can have a farewell meal.”
What delicious food was there at the farewell dinner?
Claudia smiled and was about to refuse when Ervin added, “Elva said her friend from Enigma will also come.”
Do Enigma’s friends also pass away in the past?
Claudia frowned, the refusal stuck in her throat.
Although she didn’t want to have this meal, there were still some people she wanted to meet, such as Elva, a friend
of Enigma.
