Chapter 249 A Single Sentence Determined Life and Death
Eileen’s appearance was like a bombshell, instantly exploding.
Everyone present had sensed an abnormal atmosphere.
How did a person who was fired get in?
Upon seeing Eileen, Claudia and Pedro didn’t have much of a reaction, but Calvin did.

“Boss, was it your idea for Number Six to directly open an account on the public platform?” Calvin sighed, his tone seemingly respectful but with a hint of intrigue. “Pedro demanded that Eileen be fired, and none of us dared to refute. Now that the person involved is here, Boss, why don’t you just tell us what exactly Eileen did wrong?”
The atmosphere suddenly fell into tension.
Claudia curled her lips, carrying a slight chill.
Eileen glanced at Pedro, tears instantly falling: “If I am wrong, I will admit it myself, but I will never admit that Pedro and Seraphina teamed up to ostracize me!”
“Pedro, I had a disagreement with Seraphina, but do you really need to

protect her to the point of turning your blade against your own people? She’s the one you like, and I’m your colleague! Have you forgotten that the most important rule in our organization is not to use your authority to interfere with personal disputes? You fired me for her, which violates the rules and regulations of the organization!”
Eileen was filled with righteous indignation, her words piercing to the heart.
In her words and implications, she was steering the relationship between Pedro and Claudia towards ambiguity.
She looked at Claudia, who was wearing a mask, with anticipation in her heart. As long as the boss proposed to thoroughly investigate this matter, there would be a chance for her return.

The fact that Pedro liked Claudia was undeniable, otherwise he wouldn’t have competed with Horace to be the father in the first place.
Pedro didn’t say a word, crossed his arms, and scoffed at Eileen’s accusations.
This fool, was still acting stupid.
“You were dismissed because you deliberately exposed the organization’s identity,” Claudia said flatly.
Eileen’s face turned slightly pale, her body trembled, like a leaf about to fall.
“I didn’t expose anything,” Eileen defended stubbornly, gritting her teeth.
Only the Friedan family knew about her revealing her identity.
Eileen defended herself awkwardly, “Is there any evidence that I exposed my identity?”
At that time, she only displayed her authority as a member of the Enigma organization in front of the Friedan family, unless the Friedan family personally identified her.
“You’ve used your authority to help Elva countless times in front of Thomas,” Claudia laughed in disbelief, she didn’t expect Eileen to still be making excuses at this point.
“My words were the evidence.”
A single sentence determined life and death.
Eileen felt a chill run through her body.
Who was the person in front of her? It was the boss of the Enigma organization, her boss.
The boss wanted to fire someone, he didn’t need to explain to an employee like her, because the secrecy of this organization was not protected by law at all.
She indeed revealed her identity, but she didn’t understand why the person in front of her knew it so clearly.
“Eileen has been fired. Whoever let her in, whoever helped her, investigate thoroughly.” Claudia ordered, looking at Pedro with an icy
tone.
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the entire room cooled down.
They would not forget who founded this organization, let alone the boss’s decisive and resolute methods.
Three years had drifted them apart.

Calvin stood by, his lips moving slightly. Seeing Claudia looking at him thoughtfully, he immediately stopped speaking.
The number 38 who had previously spoken for Eileen wanted to say something more, but after receiving a glare from Calvin, he swallowed his words.
Saying anything now was useless.
Eileen’s face turned pale, her hands slightly trembling and icy cold. She clenched her fists, her fingertips digging harshly into her palms, yet she felt no pain.
She thought that the boss would investigate no matter what, but she didn’t expect that a single sentence would directly determine her life or
death.
“What about Claudia?” After who knows how long, Eileen finally found her voice again, “She also helped Thomas’s family in the name of the organization! Why wasn’t she punished?!”
“Who said she was part of the organization?” Claudia asked in a flat tone, “The organization just took her task, a billion–dollar task.”
A hundred million?!
Eileen’s eyes widened slightly. That woman actually gave the organization a billion?!
No wonder the organization could protect her, it turns out she had given the organization a task worth a hundred million!
How could Claudia have had so much money?!
Eileen broke down.

“How could it be… Her grandmother was just a garbage picker, how could she be so rich?”
Claudia sneered, her eyes clear and pure, tinged with a hint of amusement.
What she enjoyed watching the most was some people getting slapped
in the face.

Just a hundred million, for her, it was like moving money from one pocket to another. Not to mention a hundred million, most of the money in the organization was hers.
Unfortunately, Eileen could never figure it out.
“Please escort Ms. Schmidt out,” Claudia waved her hand, and soon a muscular security guard led Eileen out.
Now, no one had anything to say about Pedro and Claudia’s relationship. What could they say? They had been given a billion. If they could take on a billion–dollar task, they would wake up laughing from their dreams.
After resolving the issues within the organization, it was already midnight.
Rejecting Pedro’s offer to accompany her, Claudia walked out of the alley alone.
Even at midnight, this street remained bustling, with all sorts of people traversing the street, indulging themselves to their heart’s content.
Just as I stepped out of the alley, I saw a familiar car parked at the
entrance.
The car window was open, Magnus was wearing a mask, his head
slightly turned to the other side, as if he had felt her gaze. Magnus’s eyes shifted, staring straight at her.
Magnus, you’re still here?!
Claudia was somewhat dazed.
Had he been waiting for her here all along?
The night light shone on Edmond’s tightly covered face, casting a patchy shadow that made it hard to discern.
Seeing her come out, Magnus’s heart fluttered slightly.
Perhaps it was because of her saying “I believe,” that he had been waiting for her here all along.
Just like a person who had fallen into the water, he clung desperately to this floating weed, waiting for her rescue.
She trusted him.
In this world, she was the only one left who still believed in him.
“Get in the car.
Just two short words, he used all his courage, his voice hoarse and low.
Claudia watched from a distance, as under the onslaught of the cold wind, reason still prevailed.
She was pregnant then, she couldn’t catch a cold.
Just then, a car drove by, its headlights sweeping across, instantly illuminating the entire street.
“Seraphina!” As soon as the car door opened, Horace got out and quickly walked towards her. He hurriedly took off his own scarf and wrapped it around her neck without a word. “It’s cold, and you’re pregnant. Why didn’t you wait inside?”
The warm scarf was wrapped so tightly around Claudia that she couldn’t breathe, her face instantly turned red.
She wanted to take off her scarf, but Horace held her hand, whispering, “A new scarf, for the sake of the child.”
Claudia’s hand paused.
A sharp gaze was directed at them. Claudia pursed her lips, gently looked up, only to see the tightly closed car window.

Subsequently, the car door made a sound, and someone also walked out from the car.
Seeing Magnus approaching her, Claudia was taken aback.
“Ms. Friedan, get in the car.”
Without even looking at Horace, there was a touch of nonchalance and dominance in Magnus’s voice.
As if just noticing Magnus, Horace sneered, rudely stepping in front of Claudia and sternly warning, “Mr. Fleming, you’ve crossed the line!”
The last time was dancing, this time was picking up someone.
“Seraphina was my fiancée.”
Horace had a clear anger on his face.
0
His fiancée had been hit on time and again, which was blatantly cuckolding him. The last time, he didn’t put his foot down out of respect for the Fleming family. This time, Horace decided to make him give up completely.
“The child in her belly was also mine, Mr. Fleming, don’t play the happy father.”
Horace’s voice was eerily soft, turning into a blade that ruthlessly cut into someone’s heart.
“Your child?” Magnus’s lips twitched, veins throbbing on his forehead. “The child is Edmond’s, it has nothing to do with you. What, feeling superior for playing stepfather? Is that what the Ferguson family is so
keen on, being lapdogs?”

The two words “licking dog” were like a steel knife, completely tearing off the mask on Horace’s face.
For a moment, the atmosphere was tense as a drawn bow.
