Chapter 279: Find Claire’s Location

Caroline finished speaking, feeling rather clever about herself. After all, Claire and Antony had already fallen off the cliff and were dead. There was no way they would be coming back tonight. No, to be precise, they would never be coming back again. How could the dead reappear?

That was perfect. In a few days, she would add fuel to the fire, making Frederick believe that Antony and Claire had eloped. Since they were now two corpses lying at the bottom of Wits Mountain, even with power and means, Frederick would never think to look for Claire at the bottom of the cliff. In this way, in Frederick’s eyes, Antony and Claire would always be alive in a place he couldn’t find.

Caroline believed that, with time, she and Frederick could naturally be together. Diana was dead, and now Claire had fallen off the cliff. There were no other women left by Frederick’s side except for her.

“Even if he doesn’t like me, as long as I’m by his side, I’ll find a…”

Just the thought of her lying beneath Frederick as his woman excited her beyond measure!

“With Antony?”

Upon hearing that Claire had gone out with Antony, Frederick became furious, paying no attention to Caroline’s expression.

“Yes. Frederick, don’t be angry. I believe Claire and Antony are just going out for a meal. They’ll be back soon.”

“Besides, he is Claire’s boss now. It’s quite normal for them to have a meal together, and you and Claire are engaged.”

“It’s different from before; you two will definitely get married in the future. Antony wouldn’t fail to understand this. Even if he likes Claire, he should give up.”

Seeing Frederick’s displeasure, Caroline quickly pretended to be kind and offered her advice. Her words seemed to be making excuses for Claire and considering Frederick’s feelings, but they also touched on the most taboo subjects for a man.

“Let’s eat,” Frederick said, looking even angrier.

“Alright.” Caroline pretended not to notice, triumphantly placing the food in front of Frederick.

“Frederick, I came back early today and bought a lot of groceries. Everything on the table is your favorite. Eat more. I think you’ve lost weight recently.”

“Okay.” Frederick responded absentmindedly. He ate a little before going upstairs.

If this were usual, Caroline would have been furious. But now, she was just waiting for the show to continue.

After Frederick went upstairs, she had a great appetite and ate more than usual. Frederick went into the bedroom and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, smoking. His mind was filled with everything that had happened between Claire and Antony.

At this moment, Caroline finished eating and also went back to her room to rest. In a particularly good mood, she fell asleep shortly after lying in bed. Frederick still stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, smoking continuously. Time passed. The floor was littered with cigarette butts, and the clock hands pointed to midnight. Frederick then turned and extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray.

He walked out of the room and just happened to meet Bailey, asking, “Has Claire come back?”

“She should have. It’s so late,” Bailey paused and responded.

Up until now, Bailey didn’t know what was going on. He didn’t think much of it and went downstairs. At this moment, Frederick’s mind inexplicably flashed with images of Claire and Antony entwined naked.

Frederick glanced at Claire’s room, walked over, and pushed the door open. Sure enough, the room was dark and empty. Claire hadn’t come back. Frederick clenched his fists, took out his phone, and called Richard.

“I’ll give you ten minutes. Find out where Claire is right now.”
