Chapter 282: Making Frederick Misunderstand

However, Caroline couldn’t think of any good way to respond. Who was Frederick? He was the general in charge of the entire Kingstown Security Department. Was there anything he couldn’t find out? Caroline was now filled with regret. She thought she shouldn’t have acted so quickly and recklessly. She should have taken more time to plan a foolproof strategy. Now, without Diana as a shield, Frederick could easily trace back to her.

What should she do now? Caroline bit her nails anxiously but didn’t dare to breathe heavily. She was frantic while intently eavesdropping on the conversation.

“I found out that Ms. Prescott and Antony left Eclipse Nightclub together yesterday afternoon. I have the surveillance footage from the entrance of Eclipse Nightclub, and it’s as clear as day. He drove Ms. Prescott and Antony to Wits Mountain and then left. According to the driver, when going to such remote places, passengers would usually ask him to wait for them to finish their business and then take his car back to the city. But Ms. Prescott and Antony got out of the car and told him to leave. He didn’t ask any questions and just came back. He doesn’t know anything after that. I’ve sent all available personnel, but that’s all we’ve found.”

Hearing Richard say all this on the phone, Caroline finally let out a slow breath. Fortunately, Richard hadn’t traced it back to her.

“Alright, I understand.”

Frederick held his phone and responded after a long while, then hung up the phone. Caroline pretended she hadn’t heard anything and quickly asked, “Frederick, what’s going on? Is there any news about Claire?”

Frederick didn’t answer Caroline’s question but instead asked, “Caroline, did you only hear Claire say she was going out to dinner with Antony yesterday?”

“Yes, I heard them say they were going to dinner. As for the rest, I didn’t hear it. I just happened to hear her say that when I passed by Claire’s room.”

Caroline continued to ask, “Frederick, what’s going on? Why hasn’t Claire come back yet? Did you send someone to check?” She wanted to add fuel to the fire at this moment.

“I checked. They’ve vanished into thin air.”

Frederick didn’t think much of it, nor did he notice anything unusual about Caroline. His mind was preoccupied with the fact that Claire and Antony had vanished. He couldn’t fathom that all of this was done by Caroline.

“What? Vanished into thin air? How is that possible? Two people can’t just suddenly disappear, right? Frederick, did Claire really elope with Antony?”

Caroline wanted Frederick to misunderstand that Claire and Antony had eloped. As long as Frederick accepted the fact of their elopement, he wouldn’t investigate further. In that case, she would be safe.

“There’s nothing else. You should go eat first.”

Frederick stood there, not responding to Caroline at all.

“Well, okay.”

Caroline was actually a bit reluctant. She wanted to say more but was afraid Frederick would suspect her, so she nodded and went down to have breakfast.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she got to the dining table, her phone rang. It was a call from Zachary.

“Caroline, I’ve taken care of Claire and Antony for you. How are you planning to properly serve me now?”
