After Divorce, My General Husband Chasin… 1/4

Chapter 324: A Photo

Frederick sat there, staring at Claire in silence. She met his eyes and subconsciously lowered her head. His gaze seemed to have betrayed many things tonight. It felt like a knife to her, going straight to her heart and causing so much pain. But Claire found her feeling extremely ridiculous. Given his hatred for her, Frederick would never suffer; she was the only one in pain. It would probably be a great pleasure for him not to have to marry her. As for why he was still hesitating, it must be because he was afraid of losing the support of the Prescott family. After all, Elizabeth had always been on his side. Moreover, she owned 60% of the shares of the Prescott Group, so, of course, he would be wary. Otherwise, how could he have been willing to get engaged to her back then?

After a long time, Claire’s neck became stiff from the lowering, and she finally heard Frederick’s voice. He said, “Okay, I agree, Elizabeth.” His voice was calm, as if he had consented to something very ordinary. Claire had actually anticipated it a long time ago. But when the moment really came, she still felt very uncomfortable and heartbroken.

“Okay, do the rest of you have any questions? If not, I’ll have the lawyer print out the will, as we talked about today. I will give each of you a copy to confirm that there are no problems. Then, we will sign and notarize it.”

Elizabeth glanced around. Seeing that Harrison, Robert, and Margaret didn’t say anything, she stood up. “Claire, come with me to the room.”

Finally, Elizabeth took Claire upstairs to her room. “Okay.” Claire nodded and quickly followed. She now just wanted to stay away from Frederick. When Elizabeth and Claire arrived at the room, Elizabeth closed the door and hugged her in her arms.

“Claire, I’m sorry. You must be feeling very sad now, right? I know that you have always loved Frederick since childhood. But now, I have made such a decision…”

“It’s okay. If you are really sad, lie in my arms and cry your heart out. You’ll get better after that.”

Tears welled up in Elizabeth’s eyes. “Yes. Grandma, I am a bit sad, but it’s all right. I have always loved Frederick, but since he sent me to prison four years ago, I’ve come to terms with reality. Grandma, from that moment on, I never expected that there would be any possibility for us to be together, not to mention that so many things happened after I got out of prison.”

Claire was indeed very upset, but she had long since accepted the fact that she and Frederick could not be together. Moreover, she understood that everything Elizabeth did was for her own good.

“Claire, I am really sorry for you. Actually, I like Frederick. Although you are not my biological granddaughter, I have to admit that your vision is as sharp as mine. That’s why I made every effort to get you two engaged, despite realizing at the time that he didn’t like you.”

After releasing Claire, Elizabeth stroked her cheeks gently, pulled her to the bedside, and sat down. Claire couldn’t help but look shocked. “Grandma, did you know that Frederick liked Anna when I was engaged to him four years ago?”

“Yes. Moreover, I have never given up on finding the truth because I have always believed that you are kind and will never kill anyone.”

Elizabeth nodded and let go of Claire’s hand. Then, she walked over to open the drawer of the bedside table, took out a photo, and handed it to Claire. “Take a look.”

“This!” The sight of the photo stunned Claire so much that she froze there.

“I found the photo abroad not long ago. In the past four years, I have sent people to investigate the death of that woman and gathered many suspicious points. Following the clues, I searched abroad and finally made a breakthrough some time ago. Here’s the photo. This girl looks exactly like Anna, the same girl who said she was my granddaughter four years ago.”
