Chapter 51 Hack Into the Hospital’s System “I’ll go find her,” Derrick said, walking toward the back of the estate without looking back. Ervin, feeling worried, called a few more security guards to follow. Claudia entered the changing room with clothes in her hand. The changing room was obviously different from Elva’s private changing room last time. It was smaller, but also more comprehensive. The makeup artist, who was hired long-term by the Friedan family, was mistaken for a relative attending the family banquet when they saw her. “Do you have any requirements for her makeup?” Claudia looked at herself in the mirror and thought for a moment, “Not too heavy.” Her appearance was originally charming, and as long as her makeup was slightly heavier, it would be glamorous and exaggerated. Only when her makeup was lighter did she not appear ostentatious. The makeup artist started working on her face, Claudia didn’t notice, and there was someone next to her constantly observing her. “Are you Claudia?” A crisp and straightforward voice sounded. Claudia lifted her eyelids and met a pair of bright eyes, which looked very familiar. She remembered that this person was called Bella. “Ms. Young,” Claudia nodded and greeted her. Bella laughed, her eyes curved into crescents, and she said to her makeup artist, “Give my other necklace to Ms. Lloyd.” “Ms. Lloyd, this necklace was just bought by me, as a gift for you as a meeting present.” She remembered that this person named Claudia seemed to have some connection with Edmond. Rosalie and Elva didn’t like Claudia, but she didn’t have the right to dislike anyone. Because she wasn’t really Seraphina. She wanted to take advantage of this momentum and quickly squeeze into the socialite circle, makingNôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
plans for her future. Even Edmond’s ex-wife had to curry favor. Claudia was stunned when the necklace appeared before her eyes. The necklace was designed by her.
Two slender streamlines were wrapped around with sca ttered diamonds to form a heart shape, and the largest diamond in the middle would sparkle with the light. It was named “Eternal Heart”. But this necklace was obviously not genuine, the center stone was not a diamond, but rather a topaz. “Ms. Lloyd, this is something I specifically went shopping for this week. It is said to be designed by a designer named ‘Jane’. I thought it looked very beautiful, so I bought it. I think this necklace suits your style very well, and I hope you like it.” Bella seemed completely unaware that this was a high-quality imitation necklace. Claudia chuckled, “Thank you, Ms. Young. I really like it. Can you tell me which store you bought it from? I would like to go and see the other styles they have next time.” “Sure, I’ll send it to you!” Bella didn’t think much and quickly added her Line, recommending the store to her. Claudia directly forwarded the link to Pedro. As a designer, the most detested things are counterfeits and pirated copies. Bella didn’t know that she had bought a fake product and smiled brightly. *** Elva ran up the mountain crying, not knowing how long she had been walking. When she finally stopped, it was already dark. Looking at the endless trees, a sudden fear arose in my heart. She was very familiar with this mountain in the estate, but the feeling in the mountain during the day and at night was completely different. During the day, the air here was fresh, filled with the sound of birds and the fragrance of flowers. However, at night, the pitch-black darkness, where one couldn’t see their own hand in front of their face, was like the gaping mouth of a monstrous beast, ready to swallow
her at any moment. Elva quickly felt her pocket and realized her phone was missing. Perhaps she had dropped it while running just now. Fear spread, and Elva couldn’t even cry anymore. She turned around and walked along the same path based on her feeling, but she didn’t see the road beneath her feet and stepped on nothing. A scream rang out. Looking for her, Derrick’s face changed: “Elva!” “Quick, go over there!” The bodyguard and the security guard ran toward the place where the screams were heard. *** Time passed slowly, and the family feast was about to begin. Thomas had already sat at the large table. The large table in the living room was very long and could accommodate dozens of people. The personnel had also gradually arrived. Claudia and Ervin sat on one side, and when the rest of the Friedan family saw Claudia, they were all a bit confused. Claudia sat on one side in a white dress, with her waist-length hair hanging down to her waist. Her brown eyes were as clean and clear as if they were immersed in water, exuding a sense of nobility and elegance. “Who was she?” “I heard that today Mr. Friedan would announce that his daughter has been found. Could she be Bella?” “Didn’t they say Bella looks like Mr. Friedan? It doesn’t seem like it to me, but rather more like her previous aunt.” “This person looks somewhat familiar. Have I seen them on the recent trending topics?” Surrounded by the sound of discussions, Claudia did not lift her head and sat playing with her phone.
Just then, Pedro sent a message: I found out the results of the paternity test. Claudia: How did you find out? Pedro: Wilfred hacked into the hospital’s system. Claudia typed a few lines and then deleted them, her heart pounding. Claudia: What happened? Pedro: Just as I suspected, you really are the lost daughter of the Friedan family. Your genetic match with Thomas is over 99 percent. Claudia was stunned. Was she Seraphina? She turned out to be the fourth Miss Friedan who got lost! Pedro: So, I messaged you on your phone. Just let me know what I need to do. I know this news came as a surprise, but I’m actually quite happy. I never expected you to be the daughter of the Friedan family. At least this means you weren’t abandoned. Pedro’s results were sent over, and upon seeing the appraisal report, she was unable to snap out of it for a long time. T She thought she was abandoned, and for so many years, she never had any expectations. She even prepared herself to be alone for the rest of her life. I didn’t expect that she found her biological parents, and they turned out to be the famous Friedan family. Thomas was in a good mood today. The hospital said that Waldron had already recovered from the life- threatening situation. It was a family feast today, and although he couldn’t attend, there was an extra person. He saw Bella sitting next to him, and he was satisfied. Although the hospital’s assessment results have not been released yet, the final outcome is definitely accurate.
“Ervin, why didn’t you see Elva and Derrick?” Thomas asked Ervin beside him. Ervin’s face turned serious, just as he was about to open up and reveal everything, the door suddenly swung open and Derrick walked in, carrying the unconscious Elva. “Where is the doctor? Call the doctor quickly!” Derrick’s voice was h oa rse, and his hands were trembling. Elva was in a coma, but what surprised people was her legs, which were limp and swaying, causing alarm. Thomas walked over with a gloomy face and said, “How did it end up like this?” Derrick pursed his lips and remained silent. Just then, the family doctor hurriedly walked in with a medical kit. Elva slowly woke up, and when she saw Thomas, tears immediately welled up in her eyes. “Dad…” “Ah!” Thomas sobbed, the recent series of events involving his children almost crushed him. A man in his fifties, even if he had served in the army when he was young and was strong, his children had always been his weak spot. Although Elva was his adopted daughter, over the years he had placed his guilt toward Seraphina on her, and had long considered her as his own biological daughter. Seeing Elva like this, Ervin also felt guilty on his face. He shouldn’t have said baseless things in advance, which caused Elva to get hurt. Elva looked around and was startled when she saw Claudia. She wore a white long dress, as pure as a lotus in clear water, reminding people of a white rose. However, her facial features carried a touch of allure, which added a hint of temptation to her innocence. The collision of purity and allure made her stand out from the crowd at first glance. Jealousy, anger, and fear intertwined in Elva’s heart.
