Chapter 178 You’re Nosy
When Edmond was driving out, he passed by the entrance of a vi, and a person quickly stood in front
of the car door.
The woman wore a cheongsam with a fur coat on the outside, and a pink mink scarf wrapped around
her neck, exuding an air of luxury.
“Mr. Lamont…” Eileen stood nervously in front of the car, her face filled with anxiety. “There is a
misunderstanding that I would like to discuss with you in person. Can you spare me a few minutes?”
Edmond frowned and pondered for a moment about her identity. After a few seconds of contemtion,
Eileen walked over without permission.
Edmond rolled down the car window, his pupils deep and dark like ink.
“Yesterday, I went to see Ms. Lloyd just to ask her why she withdrew from thepetition. She insisted
on giving me that box of jewelry once she found out that I was representing the Lamont Group… Eileen
had already prepared her words and looked embarrassed as she mentioned this topic. “I rushed to
deliver the items to you overnight, I’m sorry Mr. Lamont, I didn’t handle things properly and caused
trouble for you.”
“It caused trouble.” Edmond’s face was cold and his voice was icy. “Why did you go to her ce?”
“Who made you go?”
“Who made you tell her that you were representing the Lamont Group in thepetition?”
Chapter 179 You’re Nosy
A series of questions were thrown at Eileen, leaving her stunned.
She knew Edmond would me herself to some extent, but she didn’t expect him to be so merciless in
his words.
Edmond took out a cigarette, holding it between his thin lips, and narrowed his dangerous eyes.
“Ms. Schmidt, you were a bit nosy.”
Thinking of udia’s cold words on the phone, Edmond’s inner anxiety surged wave after wave, and
he looked at Eileen with a fierce gaze, as sharp as knives.
Eileen stood there awkwardly, her face turning red all the way to her neck.
Edmond had only asked her to investigate the information about the father of udia’s child, indeed he
hadn’t asked her to meddle in these matters. She had thought that Edmond’s kindness toward her
meant she had a chance, but she had clearly misread the situation.
“I’m sorry, after finding out that the child in her belly was someone else’s, I felt sorry for her… I wanted
to stand up for you…” Eileen’s eyes turned red, her voice choked, “I did interfere unnecessarily, I will
apologize to Ms. Lloydter.”
“No need.” Edmond pursed his lips andzily pointed his slender fingers to the side. “Just stand aside.
I’ll exin it to her myself.”
Eileen’s face stiffened, and she numbly leaned to the side.
Edmond’s car shot out like an arrow.
Eileen felt a chill run down her spine with such an attitude.
She thought that someone like Rosalie could attract Edmond, so

Edmond would never reject someone like herself.
I didn’t expect to hit an iron nail.
Edmond’s car drove to Hawk Heights, outside the gate of the residential area, Horace’s car was
parked.
The ck Maybach was stylish, and Horace’s Porsche was equally eye- catching. The two of them
spotted each other at first nce.
“Hey, Mr. Lamont, what brings you here?” Horace casually tapped his hand on the steering wheel, his
eyes filled with great interest.
When Edmond saw Horace, his face remained expressionless and his lips/curled slightly.
Horace was ignored and he gave a meaningless smile, but he quickly got out of the car and opened the
door when he caught sight of udia walking toward him.
udia walked toward Horace’s car without averting her gaze.
Just then, a hand stopped her.
udia looked up and almost collided with a pair of in ink-ck
eyes.
“I have something to tell you,” Edmond said lightly, ignoring the gazes of others, as he grabbed udia
and walked toward his car.
udia frowned and forcefully pulled his hand away, “Mr. Lamont, I had other dinner ns today.
Please respect that.”
“Another dinner party?” Edmond nced at Horace, a smirk ying at the corner of his lips. “You’re
already going out with another man so soon?”

Today, udia clearly made an effort to dress up. Her hair was curled into big waves, which is the most
popr Hong Kong-style makeup trend. It was charming yet not vulgar, delicate yet not shy. She
wore a red fitted coat that reached her knees, and even the thick clothes couldn’t hide her graceful and
alluring curves.
Although it was just a simple night, he remembered clearly her delicate skin and captivating curves.
She dressed like this, but she went on a date with another man.
He nced at udia’s belly with a faint look, thinking about her words, an inexplicable anger surged
in his heart, no matter how hard he tried to suppress it.
“The child’s father was Pedro, but you went on a date with Horace. Howe I never realized you
were so fickle in the past?”
Was she fickle in love?
Who is so fickle in love!
udia couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
“Mr. Lamont, does my fickleness have anything to do with you? Are you being too nosy?”
She suppressed her anger and immediately turned around, walking briskly toward Horace.
Seeing her like this, Edmond quickly calmed down and exined coldly, “The secretary received your
withdrawal call, and thepany can only have Eileen rece you.”
Upon hearing these words, udia stopped in her tracks.
“Did you withdraw from thepany’spetition for Horace?”

Edmond coldly interrogated without a trace of emotion.
He had suspected when she withdrew from thepetition earlier, and now upon further observation,
everything seems to have fallen into ce too perfectly.
Was it someone sabotaging from within or was she ying a trick, he wanted an answer.
udia originally didn’t want to talk to him about this matter, but her inner doubts kept amplifying upon
hearing the secretary receive her withdrawal call.
Sure enough, there was an insider story behind her so-called “withdrawal” from thepetition.
“I didn’t withdraw from thepetition,” she paused and added, “I was disqualified. By the time I found
out about it, I was already informed that I no longer had the eligibility to participate.”
Upon hearing these words, Edmond’s face immediately turned cold.
She was disqualified, she did not withdraw voluntarily!
“I kept my promise and didn’t withdraw from thepetition, it’s you who didn’t keep your promise,”
udia thought to herself. The next day, she wanted to exin, but was met with indifference. udia
smiled and said, “See you on the field, don’t worry, I will definitely surpass Eileen.”
Her red lips were like mes, and her smile was enchanting and captivating.
Edmond’s heart ski pped a beat as he asked in a h oa rse voice, “Is it necessary to do it this way?”
At least in a marriage, must it be a fight to the death, with each other

in a fierce confrontation?
udia’s nose tingled, and she slowly turned away, saying, “No one wants it to be like this.”
At least she didn’t want to.
“Did youe to thepany that day to talk about this?” Edmond’s voice was h oa rse, his tone was
dark, and his eyes were filled withplexity.
His heart ached as if it were being torn apart until he saw udia nodding.
It was him who, in a fit of anger, had Eileen rece her.
It was his recklessness and his concern that caused him to lose his original judgment.
If it were just an ordinary employee, he would definitely have the secretary talk to her in person, ask for
the reason for withdrawal and then consider it. However, because this person is udia, he made an
impulsive judgment.
“Sorry.”
Upon hearing his apology, udia fell silent and for a moment, she didn’t know how to respond.
“That Eileen, I suggest you have less contact with her.”
I thought for a long time and could onlye up with this sentence.
Eileen’s life would eventually turn dark, and she did not want to see Edmond and people like him
together.
At least he was the father of the child, don’t let any stain in the future

affect her child’s life.
After saying these words, she turned around and walked toward Horace’s car.
Horace stood at a distance, looking at them from afar, and did not approach, giving them enough space
to talk.
udia sat into Horace’s car and drove up to Edmond. Horace casually handed him an invitation: “My
parents areing over, and they are hosting a banquet tonight at Wyvernport Hotel. Mr. Lamont, if
you’re interested, you can bring a femalepanion along.”
After saying that, he stepped on the elerator and the car sped away.
Edmond held a thick invitation card, his eyes cold.
Did Horace’s parentse? Are they going to meet udia’s parents?
He tightened his clearly articted fingers and a dark cloud covered his handsome face.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.
