Upon seeing Kayden's call, Claudia quickly answered it.
Kayden had always had a bit of interest in Claudia, but while she wasn't interested in him personally, his money was certainly appealing. Plus, he was backed by Isa!
Claudia couldn't help but wonder if she could still get some benefits from Kayden or even get close to Isa.
That was why when she moved and changed her phone number, she made sure to notify Kayden. While she ws struggling with whether or not to see Lachlan again, Kayden called and suddenly piqued her interest.
In Claudia's eyes, the only thing that made her valuable was being Lachlan's ex-wife.
"Kayden," she cooed into the phone after answering it. "What makes you think of calling me?"
"Heheh," chuckled Kayden with a hint of frivolity in his tone. "I just missed you."
Claudia rolled her eyes inwardly and asked with a smile, "I thought maybe you needed something done again so I could earn some labor fees."
Kayden chuckled at the remark and cursed in his mind, "What a despicable woman, only cares about money."
The next moment, he coughed and spoke with a serious tone, "Claudia, I do have something important to tell you! It's a big issue. Do you know that Lachlan has been looking for you recently? He might pose a threat to you."
This time, Kayden's task was to bring Claudia to Isa. After making this call, he had already prepared what he would say.
"What?" Claudia's mind was still tangled up in her thoughts when she suddenly became nervous upon hearing Kayden's words. "Kayden, what are you saying? Lachlan is looking for me, and he intends to harm me?"
Kayden spoke earnestly, "That's right! He wants to kill you and completely eliminate the possibility of you having any contact with his daughter."
"No way? Last time, he showed mercy and spared my life! Would he really come back to kill me?" Claudia asked, finding it hard to believe.
"Why not? Don't you know to what extent Lachlan can go for his daughter? Killing someone means nothing to him now. You probably don't know this, but to avenge the last time, Lachlan wiped out an entire family in the Capital. He spared you before only because it wasn't convenient in Edoland. Now that you're no longer in Edoland, he won't hesitate. I heard some rumors and decided to call you to warn you. Now, only Mr. Austin can protect you!" Kayden's tone was grave and serious.
Hearing this, Claudia's previously tangled emotions suddenly became alert. In the next moment, her voice trembled as she said, "Strange... no wonder... Lachlan just contacted me earlier, asking where I am! He even arranged to meet me tomorrow. So, he really intends to harm me?"
Kayden responded with an intrigued "Oh?" in his heart. He thought, "So Lachlan actually found Claudia? Well, what a lucky coincidence! He's really playing into our hands!"
"That's it then, he definitely wants to kill you. How could you still dare to meet him? You need to run away immediately. Claudia, if you want to stay alive, come with me to find Mr. Austin right away. We'll leave tonight. Get ready," Kayden urged urgently.
"Oh, alright... By the way, Kayden, why would Mr. Austin be willing to help me? Didn't you say he's also hiding from Lachlan? Aren't you afraid that bringing me to him would cause trouble?" Claudia asked, voicing her doubts.
Kayden, using the prepared words, replied, "Of course, Mr. Austin wouldn't agree at first. I had to beg him, using every persuasive argument I could, to let me bring you to him. Claudia, you should know my feelings for you, right?"
"Claudia, what are you doing?" Adam and Maisie asked in surprise and suspicion when they saw their daughter's actions.
"Mom and Dad, I'm going out to hide! You were right, the more I think about it, the more I feel that Lachlan might be harmful to me. You should also find a place to lay low, just in case Lachlan can't find me and comes after you."
"I don't have time to explain. A friend is coming to pick me up, and I have to leave quickly!"
After saying that, Claudia walked straight out of the house. She was quite selfish and only cared about escaping for herself. It was already good enough that she informed her parents.
Claudia didn't even think about bringing her parents with her to Isa's place. Didn't Kayden say that Isa wasn't too willing to help her alone? It took a lot of persuasion from Kayden. What if she brought her parents along and further irritated Isa? It was better for each of them to run on their own.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
After finishing the call with Claudia, Lachlan had a faint sense of unease. It was crucial to ensure that Nora's curse was suppressed without any mistakes. To be safe, he made a call to Makhi's phone.
"Makhi, keep an eye on the location of a phone for me, can you do that?"
"No problem, boss. I'll have Virus handle it. I'll have him contact you!"
