Chapter 86 She Didn’t Want to Die
Claire stared intently at Anna’s video. Her mind went blank, unable to think or even breathe,
How could it be Anna?
Anna had clearly died four years ago,
Claire replayed the video on her phone over and over again, checking every detail. There was no doubt. It was Anna
The video was timestamped. It was recorded just yesterday, Claire recognized the location immediately.
It was the place she used to frequent as a child. Moon Lake was the only freshwater lake in Kingstown.
The lake naturally formed into the shape of a crescent moon, a beautiful and scenic spot.
Back in the day, she, Harrison, Frederick, and Anna would often go there to play.
As memories of the past flooded back, all that remained was a sense of horror and disbelief.
Claire decided it didn’t matter when the video was recorded. She had to go to Moon Lake and see for herself.

2/4
After all, the root of all her pain and suffering was tied to Anna’s death four years ago.
Now, any clue or trace about Anna was something she couldn’t afford to ignore.
Steadying herself, Claire pulled out her phone and called Felix to take a day off, then immediately hailed a cab to Moon Lake.
When she arrived at Moon Lake, she located the exact spot where the video had been recorded.
She looked around. Aside from an empty bench, the frozen lake, and the leafless winter branches, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
Claire pulled out her phone again, played the video, and stood at the exact angle where Anna had been filmed, comparing the
scene.
She zoomed in and out through the camera, completely focused. Suddenly, a hand appeared behind her, shoving her violently toward the lake.
The ice on the lake was thick. Normally, even if she fell onto the ice, she’d only bruise herself at worst.
Before her body hit the frozen surface, Claire realized this lake section had already been deliberately broken open.
Panic seized her heart. She quickly turned around. Sure enough, it was Diana.

“You… both of you!”
It was only now that Claire realized that the video from this morning was part of Diana and Caroline’s scheme.
The two of them wanted her dead, but Claire couldn’t understand why.

She had already been labeled as Anna’s killer, spending, years in prison, hated by Frederick and Harrison alike.
Her life was a constant struggle now; she was barely surviving.
So why did Diana and Caroline still want her dead?
At that moment, all Claire felt was confusion and maddening
terror.
It was the same fear she had experienced every day in prison for four years, afraid of both the dark and the daylight, fearing death at every moment.
Claire clenched her fists, glaring at the smug Caroline and Diana standing on the shore.
She didn’t want to die. She really didn’t want to die!
As she plunged into the lake, Claire used every ounce of strength she had left to pull out her phone and dial Frederick’s number.

She knew that Frederick was the only one who could save her
now.
She still had value to Frederick. If it were Harrison, he’d probably let her drown right then and there.
