Chapter 34
Chapter 34 Ms. Lloyd, May I Have a Moment?
“Not sure, but I’ve got my target now, Elva’s friend who wille back from abroad this evening” said
Ervin with a big smile.
Derrick pulled his hand excitedly. “Really, Ervin? Seraphina is going back home?”
Ervin could see his brother’s joyful tears. He felt touched, too,
For all these years, they had searched thousands of ces and spent lots of money to look for
Seraphina.
They hadn’t seen her in 20 years. They had assumed that she was dead,
“Ervin, I know Elva is our good luck. She cured us and also helped us find Seraphina.” Derrick’s sorry
for udia had disappeared. “When Seraphina is back, we can reunite as a family.”
Derrick’s emotions influenced Ervin’s feelings.
“When Seraphina is back, you can find a girlfriend.” Ervin’s joke made Derrick roll his eyes. “Say that to
Waldron.”
“Ever since we made the vow that we wouldn’t get married until we find Seraphina, Waldron has tried
his best not to get close to any girls. Now we find Seraphina. Waldron will get married as soon as
possible.” Derrick looked gentle when talking about Waldron.
Waldron was the youngest brother and the most loved by them.
The thought of seeing Seraphina tonight put Derrick in a much better mood. “Dad and the others are
still waiting for me. I’ll go first and give them an exnation.”

Derrick had just walked over when he realized that the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Elva had changed her clothes and was sitting next to Thomas, coaxing him tough.
Elva’s eyes looked sheepishly to either side when she saw Derrick approach.
udia had a faint smile on her face. When Derrick met her smiling eyes, he silently stopped.
“What took you so long.” Thomas asked seriously, “How’s the surveince check going?”
It was suddenly quiet, so quiet that even a pin dropping to the ground could be heard.
Elva grabbed the corner of her jacket and stared pitifully at Derrick. She said in a soft voice with a
broken choke, “Derrick…”
Rosalie held her breath as well.
“I watched the surveince.” Derrick looked to udia, and continued in a lower voice, “Elva’s right.
Ms. Lloyd pushed her.”
Elva relieved.
Thomas looked at udia with a serious look on his face.
He hadn’t realized that this little girl, so innocent judging from her appearance, had such an evil heart.
Derrick suddenly lost his tongue.
Turning to udia, he said difficultly, “Ms. Lloyd, may I have a moment?”
udia sighed tersely and shook her head, smiling attractively with coldness, “No. Now that you’ve
checked the surveince, nothing I say can change the results, can it?”
Cold shivers ran down her back. The people and air in this room made every cell of her feel icy cold.
She just didn’t think that even someone as righteous as Derrick would be so tantly biased.
“I thought Mr. Friedan was different from the others.” udia’s smile didn’t reach the bottom of her
eyes. “Other people might lie about the surveince, but not you, because you’re awyer.
“But I forgot that you are a goodwyer.”
Awyer who can defend the victim as well as escort the perpetrator.
The pupils of Derrick’s eyes snapped open.
He had prepared a huge sum of money forpounding, but he didn’t realize that udia didn’t even
give him a chance to do so.
It seemed that she was not ming him, but in fact, she med him for every word.
She was right. He was awyer, but here and now, he just wanted to be a protective brother.
“I’m sorry,” he said inwardly.
Derrick lowered his eyes, his longshes covering the brightness of them.
udia stood up with the box in her arms, her face tired and dark, and she averted her gaze, heading
toward the door to the hall.

Elva stood still out of guilt.
Watching udia’s distant back, Rosalie marveled once again at Elva’s influence.
Derrick’s tolerance of Elva was sick.
Obviously, it was Elva’s problem. However, Derrick was so protective that he just lied in front of
everyone.
Just as udia was about to leave, Thomas spoke, “Ms. Lloyd, since you pushed Elva, apologize to
Elva, and we can let it go.”
Thomas’ words made Derrick blush.
Elva also gave Derrick a sheepish look.
She knew that Derrick had already seen the surveince and knew the truth. What he said was just to
make her look good. She had achieved her goal.
But now, what if Thomas’ words drove udia crazy?
She knew that udia dared to challenge Edmond.
“Dad, why don’t we let it go now? I’m fine,” Elva started to intercede, looking over at udia as she did
so.
udia turned around, a sneer curling her lips.
Thomas, however, did not listen to the advice and looked at Derrick. “Since you checked the
surveince and determined that Ms. Lloyd pushed Elva, you should have sent her to the police as you
said before. What are you waiting for?”
His words embarrassed Derrick.

He was trying to defend his sister, but he didn’t want to hurt udia. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.
Since he already knew the truth, it was even more impossible to do anything worse to udia.
Looking at udia standing there all alone, hearing his father’s harsh words, he felt a twinge of
sympathy for udia.
The video showed that she just wanted the box, and Elva was clearly trying to make things difficult for
her.
Now there wasn’t only Elva who was bullying her. In fact, the entirety of the Friedan family was doing
so.
Derrick suddenly felt that the card Ervin gave him burned his hand.
He looked at Thomas, wished to speak but stopped on a second
thought.
Elva panicked and scrambled, and hurriedly pulled Thomas’ arm. “Dad, forget it. Seraphina will be here
at any minute. Just let her go.”
“Why?” Thomas gave her a meaningful look. “Everyone needs to apologize for their wrong-doings. Am
I right, Ms. Lloyd?”
Meeting Thomas’ scrutinizing gaze, udia smiled softly with sarcasm, “You’re right, but am I really the
one who did wrong?”
She didn’t know why Thomas stopped her.
Just now she thought Thomas wasn’t as unsympathetic as he was rumored to be. Was she going to
prove the rumor was right?
Because of Waldron, she didn’t want to think too badly of the Friedan family,
She tolerated what happened today for Waldron’s sake.
But that didn’t mean she was a doormat.
Thomas nodded at her question. “Well, you know whether you pushed her or not, don’t you?”
“I didn’t,” udia subconsciously spoke out, “Your son is lying.”
Thomas smiled, “You’re right, Derrick does lic.”
