Chapter 54 Cann’t ept That She Is Seraphina
The Lamont Group, Edmond’s office.
“Mr. Lamont,” the assistant walked in with a smile on her face, “ourpany’s jewelry design has been
nominated this year, and we can send someone to attend the International Jewelry Festival.”
The International Jewelry Festival is a world-sspetition. This year’spetition zone is in
Adron. Participants can only enter in the name of theirpany, not as individuals. Because of this,
manypanies will go to great lengths to squeeze into the preliminary rounds in order to enhance
their reputation. In previous years, onlypanies specializing in jewelry were eligible. Unexpectedly,
this time, the Lamont Group, which specializes in investments and real estate, also managed to make it
in.
Edmond raised an eyebrow, thinking of udia.
She studied jewelry design in college and when she joined the Lamont Group, she transformed the
company’s business from a sideline to a mainstream focus.
“Was she still at thepany?”
The assistant paused for a moment and immediately realized that he was referring to udia.
“Ms. Lloyd had not resigned yet.”
Edmond nodded, “If she doesn’t mind, let her join this time.”
The jewelry design of the Lamont Group was able to create a circle, thanks to udia’s efforts. She
must be happy to participate in such a

The assistant nodded, and this arrangement seemed reasonable.
“I will arrange your and Ms. Lloyd’s business trip n.”
Business trip?
Edmond looked up and realized that thispetition was being participated in under thepany’s
name, so he could also go.
Edmond squinted his eyes and in the end, he didn’t say anything.
Thepanies that made it to the finals of the Jewelry Festival were just announced, and Rosalie just
saw this news.
Being able to participate in the Jewelry Festival is an honor for every jewelry designer, even if it is just
as apanion, it can still be recorded as a valuable experience on their resume.
She joyfully sent a message to Edmond. Such an opportunity was rare, and she definitely had to
attend.
However, before the message was sent, Elva received a message: Waldron woke up.
Rosalie froze, a hint of anger rising in her eyes.
Waldron was really lucky. Even when a big truck crashed into him, he didn’t die.
Rosalie: Did udia’s identity get exposed by Seraphina?
The message was sent, but there was no reply. Rosalie’s heart was pounding.
Her intuition told her that something had definitely happened.
Elva stayed at the Friedan’s manor, despite being injured, holding on with all her might.
Thomas had dismissed the rest of the Friedan family and had called udia into the room half a cup of
tea ago.
Not only udia, Ervin, and Derrick went in, but also Emily. However, she couldn’t go in because she
got injured and had to be taken to the hospital.
The family doctor said to Miss Wu, “Miss Wu, your leg is seriously injured. I suggest you go to the
hospital.”
“No need, I’m not in pain,” Elva said, holding her breath as someone lifted her onto the sofa near the
room door. In front of so many people, she didn’t dare eavesdrop openly, and with the good
soundproofing in the room, she couldn’t hear a single word inside.
At that time, she had be an outsider instead.
As soon as Waldron woke up, the first thing that came to her mind was to call Thomas, and she felt a
chill down her spine.
She had nned for so long, and she couldn’t afford to fail.
“Carry me over there,” she said with a gloomy face, directing people to carry her to the door.
Just as she was about to lean in to listen, the door suddenly opened.
udiaughed and said, “Ms. Friedan, what are you doing?”
Elva’s body stiffened, and the maids who were carrying her felt equally embarrassed.
“Why didn’t you knock ande in if you wanted to listen so badly? It’s really unseemly to be caught
eavesdropping like this.”
Thomas and Ervin walked out and when they saw Elva like this, their faces looked a bit embarrassed.
“Whoever eavesdropped, I was just curious,” Elva stubbornly insisted.
“What are you curious about? Curious if I am Seraphina?”
Elva: “…”
udia yfully raised her lips and said, “Didn’t you even get Be’s bloodline identification
certificate? I thought you would be certain that she is Seraphina.”
“Stop!” Elva endured the pain, her face darkening. “If you don’t
understand, then don’t speak. No one treats you like a mute.”
“Elva,” Thomas suddenly spoke up, “You can’t be so disrespectful. She is your older sister.”
“What did you say?!” Elva screamed, “How could she be my
sister?”
“Elva, udia is indeed Seraphina. Waldron has already informed us of the identification results.
Be’s situation may be a misunderstanding…” Derrick stepped forward, trying to calm her emotions,
but Elva refused to listen and forcefully pushed him away.
The movement was too big, and the maids couldn’t hold steady. Elva immediately fell down.
With a cry of pain, Elva fainted.
When Elva woke up, she was already in the hospital and happened to hear the doctor’s words.
“Cells below her lower leg had already ne cro tized, and our
rmendation was to proceed with amputation surgery as soon as possible.”
“Is there no other way?”
“No, I’m sorry.”
***
All these words entered Elva’s ears, but when she heard the words “amputation,” she could no longer
hear anything else.
She had been learning dance since she was young, and her most proud feature was her beautiful legs.
However, now they were going to be cut off.
After the Friedan family and the doctor finished talking, they discovered that Elva had already woken
up.
She widened her eyes and stared fixedly at the ceiling.
“Elva…”
Elva gradually regained consciousness and shifted her gaze onto Derrick. Her clear eyes were filled
with moisture as she asked, “Derrick, am I never able to dance again?”
Derrick didn’t say anything, his eyes filled with pain: “Derrick will have the doctor cure you, don’t be
afraid.”
“Derrick, Ervin, Dad, I don’t want to amputate, I don’t want to be disabled!” Elva widened her
eyes, tears streaming down like a torrent.
Ervin and Thomas couldn’t bear to look away.
They didn’t expect it to be so serious when it fell from the mountain.

“The doctor said that without timely treatment, and also your second injury…” Ervin lowered his
eyshes, hiding the sadness in his eyes. “I have already dismissed those maids…”
Ervin’s words not only did not make Elva feel better, but instead, they further provoked her.
“What’s the use of firing me? Can it bring back my leg? And what about udia? She’s the real culprit,
have you dealt with her?” Elva clenched her teeth. “If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have gotten hurt. I
know she’s now Seraphina, and you care more about her. You won’t do anything to her, she hasn’t lost
anything, but I lost a leg!” Owned by N?velDrama.Org.
“Elva…” Thomas approached and gently patted her head with hisrge hand, “I can’t exin this
matter to you, Seraphina has just returned, we cannot take action against her. Please be
understanding, we will make it up to you…”
“I don’t wantpensation!” Elva cried breathlessly, “Dance has always been my greatest passion
since I was little, but now I have lost my legs. What’s the point of living anymore? It’s not that I can’t
ept Seraphina, I just can’t ept someone like her bing Seraphina. Why her, why!”
Elva’s words, word by word, came out of the room and into the hallway.
udia heard these words as soon as she entered.
She stood by the door, hesitating whether to go in or not. Derrick noticed her at a nce and whispered
something in Elva’s ear before walking toward her.
He pulled her aside, hesitating to speak.
“Just say what you have to say,” udia nced at him indifferently.
“The doctor said Elva’s leg had to be amputated.”
“Oh.” udia nodded nonchntly.
Derrick frowned, “Over the years, she has been by our side, bringing us a lot of joy. Your return has had
a big impact on her.”
“I see.” udia raised an eyebrow and smiled.
It’s not her fault for being heartless, but Elva’s behavior of cutting off her own legs is truly like a clumsy
farce.
Seeing herughing carefree, Derrick showed some dissatisfaction on his face: “udia, Elva is
emotionally unstable right now, I’m afraid she might do something foolish. Can you please give in to
her, just… do me a favor.”
“Apologize to her and cheer her up to make her happy.”
