Chapter 270: She Would Kill Claire

“Of course. Nobody knows her better than I do!” A woman’s triumphant laughter echoed through the phone.

“I have to admit that you do know Caroline well, but I’m more curious about why you know her so intimately.” Noah’s interest in the woman on the other end of the line was piqued. A woman willing to pay that much to toy with another woman must be quite the thrill to be with herself!

“Mr. Mitchell, curiosity killed the cat! You just need to earn your money. Don’t ask questions you shouldn’t! Or you might not know how you end up dead.” The woman snorted coldly, seeming to guess Noah’s thoughts right away.

“Alright. When will the money hit my account?” Noah nodded, not pressing the matter further. He had a feeling this woman was not someone to be trifled with, and it wasn’t worth it to cross her.

About a week ago, while on a business trip, this woman approached Noah. She got straight to the point, offering to pay him to toy with Caroline. When Noah heard the target was Caroline, who was close to Frederick, he wanted to refuse immediately. But the woman sent him an email with detailed information about Frederick and Caroline. There was even a file on him, complete with videos and high-definition photos. She was threatening him, no doubt about it, but the price was high—ten million dollars! In the end, Noah agreed.

Ironically, Caroline showed up and asked him to deal with a woman as well. It was almost comical! He knew everything about Caroline. There was no way she could come up with ten million dollars for him. Moreover, the woman she wanted him to go after was Claire, Frederick’s fiancée. Regardless of their relationship, Claire was Frederick’s official fiancée. If anything happened to Claire, Noah knew he’d be in deep trouble. He liked to play with women, and he wanted money, but he wasn’t foolish enough to risk his life. However, he was growing increasingly curious about the relationships between these three women and Frederick.

As Noah was lost in thought, the woman’s voice came through the phone again. “I’m abroad. The money will take at least two business days to arrive. Be patient. I won’t stiff you on such a small amount.”

“Of course. I’ll be waiting to collect, then.” Noah chuckled and hung up the phone. Reflecting on everything, he felt a strange excitement deep inside. If it weren’t for the connection these women had with Frederick, he would have really wanted to get involved with them. Noah sighed, “What a pity! Such an interesting affair might never come by in a lifetime!”

Meanwhile, Caroline, battered and bruised, left Noah’s house. She stood by the roadside, indecisive. If she went back to the Halfmoon Manor now, what would happen if someone noticed her injuries? But if she didn’t go back and Frederick sent people to look for her, it would be even more troublesome. After much hesitation, Caroline decided to go back, but not right away. She messaged Frederick and then prepared to go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine to treat her wounds so they could heal faster.

As for Noah, everything was because of that woman abroad. Caroline planned to call the woman after she applied her medicine. At seven in the evening, Caroline arrived at the hotel. After applying her medicine, she picked up her phone and dialed the woman’s number. ‘Sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service. Please check and dial again.’ She tried several times, but all she got was the mechanical female voice.

“Ah!” Caroline, listening to the repetitive mechanical voice, smashed her phone to the ground in frustration. Her anger had nowhere to go, and she picked up a cup from the hotel table, ready to smash it on the floor. But halfway through her action, Caroline remembered she wasn’t at home, and there was no one to clean up after her. If she broke the hotel’s property, she’d have to pay for the damages. She was furious! She glanced at her phone on the floor and eventually suppressed her rage, picking it up. Fortunately, it was just the screen that was cracked. The phone was still turned on and was usable.

“Hello?” As soon as the call connected, Caroline let out a string of angry words. “What do you mean? Wasn’t it all arranged? I served him, I suffered. I’m covered in injuries, but Mr. Mitchell didn’t agree to anything!” If it weren’t for her need for them, she would have cursed them out directly!

“It’s not that he didn’t agree with you, it’s that you weren’t good enough. We did talk to Mr. Mitchell, but you didn’t satisfy him. You come to me with complaints? Are you kidding me? Get lost!” He berated Caroline and hung up the phone.

“What… I…” Caroline, already seething with anger, was now ready to explode. She really didn’t want to hold back any longer, but as soon as she started to speak, the call ended. She tried to call back, only to find herself blocked. Now, Caroline was really losing it! Zachary had yet to make a move, and her attempt to get close to Noah from the Hiokeeh Group had failed despite a day of torment. Diana was abroad, still under surveillance by the Hawthorne…

“Am I really just going to watch Claire lie with my Frederick every day? No! Never!” Desperate, Caroline was on the verge of madness. At this moment, she had only one thought left—to kill Claire! Yes, she would kill Claire! After all, she still had one last trump card to play.
