Chapter 74 Everyone Has Weaknesses Seeing the text message, her smile froze on her face. “What’s wrong?” Ervin was the first to notice Ni’s expression. Claudia took a deep breath and slowly put down her phone. The cold words pierced through her like icy daggers, “He’s gone.” A deathly silence. “The driver had an accident on the road and was killed by a flowerpot falling from the sky, while the culprit was just a child who liked throwing things from heights without realizing the consequences.” How could it be so coincidental that the incident happened on the very day when the murderer confessed? Waldron emitted a deep, terrifying chuckle from his throat. Ervin and Derrick looked frosty. “Rosalie was really lucky.” Waldron was really angry. Originally, he didn’t like Rosalie, but it hadn’t reached the point of confrontation yet. Now, his patience has reached its limit. “Indeed, people from the Clayton family are truly ruthless, just as we had expected,” Ervin stood up, his beautiful eyes gleaming with intelligence beneath his gold-rimmed glasses. Claudia’s heart felt like it had been pierced by a big hole, and it was rushing in and out heavily. She originally thought that this matter could bring Rosalie down, but 0.00% 15:47 she didn’t expect that even after all this, she could still escape. Is it so difficult to sanction a bad person? “Having done so many bad things, it is impossible not to leave any trace.” As soon as Waldron thought about the Friedan family having to work with the Clayton family now, he was filled with anger.
“I went to find father,” he stood up abruptly. “I am going with you,” Ervin followed him as they left. Derrick thought for a moment and said to Claudia, “Where are you going? I’ll take you there.” “No, the place I need to go, I can only go by myself.” Derrick’s breath caught and his face turned gloomy as he saw her expressionless face. If it was Waldron who sent her, she would definitely not refuse, right?
In her heart, she still didn’t consider him as one of her own. Derrick forced a smile and walked toward Wellfort Central Hospital… The Clayton Group, Rosalie’s office. Upon learning of Tom Scott’s death, Rosalie burst into laughter. Without this person, she started collaborating with the Friedan family, and finally she didn’t have to live in constant fear anymore. As soon as Tom died, she no longer had any worries. She had to quickly tell Elva the good news. 15.62% Rosalie joyfully took out her phone. *** 40 Vouchers Elva has been feeling very upset recently. Ever since she was admitted to the hospital, her brothers have been constantly hovering around Claudia. Now that she is about to undergo surgery, there is not a single person coming to visit and comfort her. Receiving a call from Rosalie, I couldn’t suppress the anxiety in my heart: “Didn’t I tell you not to call me if there’s nothing wrong?” Rosalie’s phone never brought any good news. Rosalie was completely unaware, her tone filled with surprise: “Tom died.” “Who was Tom?”
“That driver.” “Really?” Elva exclaimed, sitting up in surprise. “How could it be so coincidental…’ “My dad took care of it,” Rosalie said proudly, and Elva’s heart tightened Rosalie’s dismissive tone toward human life made her face tingle and filled her heart with fear. She received higher education from a young age and never thought that she would be involved in matters of life and death. Elva took a deep breath and said coldly, “I helped you just because you were my friend. I don’t care about anything else, you don’t have to report everything to me.” The hand holding the phone trembled fiercely for a few moments, and she even regretted helping Rosalie. Rosalie did that kind of thing, she helped Rosalie again, and in the future, it will be hard to explain. “I just wanted to share the good news with you…” “You don’t have to share with me,” Elva became more and more anxious, “I don’t want to know anything.” “Some things are good news for you, but not for me.” There was a few seconds of silence on the phone, and finally Rosalie let out a soft hum. Perhaps it was because of what she said, Rosalie no longer continued this topic. Elva hung up the phone in a daze and looked outside. She didn’t know when, but Derrick was standing at the door. Elva nervously hurriedly put her phone into the blanket and forced a smile on her face, saying, “Derrick, when did you come? Why didn’t you knock on the door…” “I entered directly as the door was open,” Derrick handed over a small package, “the milk tea you love to drink. Elva took the heavy milk tea and gently opened it, taking a sip. Out of the blue, Derrick asked, “Did you have a good relationship with Rosalie?” As Elva loosened her grip, the milk tea spilled out… Claudia, holding the address given by Pedro, arrived at a run-down

She knocked on the door, the door opened, and a sleepy woman walked out. The woman was wearing loose pajamas, with a pair of slippers dangling from her feet. She had a cigarette in her mouth, and her cheeks were sunken. When Claudia saw her, she raised her sleepy eyelids and asked, “Who are you looking for?” “Tom.’ The woman’s face stiffened for a moment, then she resumed her carefree appearance and said, “I don’t know.” She pushed the door forward, Claudia blocked it with her hand and whispered, “He died.” The woman’s hand paused, and a trace of maliciousness appeared on her face: “Whether he lives or dies, it has nothing to do with me. I don’t know him.” She pushed Claudia away and slammed the door. Claudia stood outside the door without leaving and said to the person inside, “Aren’t you curious about how he died?” The door did not have any looseness “He didn’t deserve to die, but he died now, taking the blame for someone else. Don’t you want to seek revenge for him?” Claudia pursed her lips and smiled, “The person who caused his death is also my enemy, I can avenge Tom.” Finally, the door opened and the woman’s eyes turned red: “Will you really avenge him?” Claudia nodded, “That person also killed my loved ones.” The woman, with an irritable temper, threw a package at her and said, “I hope you do as you say.” Receiving this heavy package, Claudia was not surprised.
After learning that Tom had extorted 800 thousand dollars from Rosalie, she had Pedro specifically investigate Tom’s background. Tom lived frugally, behind all this money, there must be some hidden story. Pedro sent her all the information he could find. Tom was an expert at this kind of thing, being very cautious in his interactions with anyone. If one wasn’t careful, they would hardly notice his relationship with this woman. Finally, she found out that Tom had made a payment to a woman six months ago, and although he had destroyed the record, Enigma’s investigation method was to directly invade the system, so even if it was deleted, it could still be traced. Based on the account name, she found this woman. When Pedro found this woman, he felt incredulous, “Wow, you are always so accurate in reading people.” “It’s not that I am good at judging people, but everyone has weaknesses.” Tom’s weakness was this woman. 75.76% 15:471 Thinking of someone as cautious as Tom, he should have left a backup plan. Especially after he almost got silenced by someone, he would definitely leave something behind for the people he cares about. One is to use it as a means to threaten others for self-preservation, and the other is to seek revenge for him. Tom committed a crime and would be punished by the law, instead of being subjected to vigilante justice and meeting an untimely death. More importantly, Rosalie, the real culprit, should not have been allowed to escape justice. Holding this heavy object, Claudia relaxed all over her body, her eyes becoming very red.
