Chapter 146: Carolineโs Plan
When Caroline received the email, she felt nervous, yet a flicker of excitement. The email showed they had a shared enemy, Claire. But who was this sender, and how did he know about her conflict with Claire?
The reply came quickly: โYou donโt need to know who I am; I can help you get rid of Claire.โ
โWhy should I trust you?โ Caroline responded.
โYou can choose not to believe me. Then youโll just have to keep watching Frederick and Claire.โ
The senderโs tough demeanor sparked a glimmer of hope in Caroline that she could indeed drive Claire away. She felt conflicted but uneasy about this mysterious person. She just stood there holding her phone and didnโt reply. She wondered if this person had a viable plan. If not, she could choose not to cooperate.
โHavenโt you been at your witโs end? Frederick has Claire on his side, and youโre powerless as Claire uses public opinion to swayโฆโ
โYou can also use public opinion to force Claire back to Halfmoon Manor. The same knife cuts bread and fupra, Ve your choice whether to use it.โ
โIโm just in a position where I canโt act. If I were convex, I wouldnโt need you. Frankly, Iโm just any a gow incompetence.โ
The sender didnโt seem to care if she replied and texted with her email.
โYou have the ability, huh? If youโre so capable, why do you need me? What a ridiculous excuse for the inconvenience.โ
โWhat reasons and excuses are there? Youโre also at your witโs end with Claire.โ
Caroline was already disgusted enough, and the email made her even more uneasy. She started to curse at the email on her mobile phone using voice typing.
Once she vented, she felt a bit better but was still angry when the sender didnโt respond. The feeling of frustration was maddening.
โAh!โ Caroline screamed, smashing everything in her room.
Meanwhile, the sender smiled knowingly at the sky, anticipating Carolineโs reaction.
โMiss, are you sure this will work?โ someone asked.
โOf course. Let them turn on each other. Thatโs how Iโll benefit.โ
Whether it was a man or a woman, they were always in turmoil because they couldnโt get what they wanted. The more chaotic the situation, the less anyone gains.
As for Claire, the woman frowned and dialed a number.
โIโll give you another year! If you canโt resolve things with the Prescott family by then, all our agreements are off!โ She hung up before the other party could respond.
At Halfmoon Manor, Caroline calmed down after her outburst. Despite her anger, she checked the unfamiliar email again, fixating on the phrase โpublic opinion.โ
After a while, she called Diana.
โThatโs a brilliant idea, Caroline!โ Diana exclaimed upon hearing her plan.
โI couldnโt think of anything for a while. It just came to me suddenly, and I wanted to discuss it with you,โ Caroline said, maintaining her innocent facade.
Diana would always be the first to take the lead, and Caroline certainly felt relieved. Diana was Frederickโs sister and the eldest daughter of the Hawthorne family. No matter what happened, no one would do anything to her, and she could handle it. But Caroline was different. She had spent four years carefully navigating her position without anyone to rely on.
โGreat idea! Iโll have someone act on it right away,โ Diana responded enthusiastically.
