Chapter 264 Asking for Trouble
1/4
“Mr. Mitchell… you…” Caroline gasped, her face flushing red as she struggled to speak.
In that instant, Caroline’s face turned crimson, and she couldn’t
utter another word.
Noah had his hands around Caroline’s neck, showing no sign of letting go.
At this moment, he thought this woman was practically sending him to his death.
If he hadn’t known Claire and kept an eye on her, he might have actually fallen for Caroline’s trap today.
Asking him to mess with Claire? That was nothing short of a death wish.
Did she even understand who Claire was?
She was the former pampered heiress of the Prescott family.
Sure, the scandal about the real and fake heiresses had caused an uproar, and Claire had even ended up in prison.
The Prescott family had cut ties with her completely.
But just recently, at Elizabeth’s birthday banquet, it was publicly announced that Claire was engaged to Frederick.

Messing with his fiancée? That was asking for death, plain and simple.
“I… no…” Caroline choked out, struggling for air.
Caroline hadn’t expected Noah to react so violently. She clawed desperately at his hands, trying to pry them off, but it was useless.
Waves of suffocation engulfed her, making it nearly impossible to get out even a single word, let alone a full sentence.
“Is this really how I’m going to die?”
How ironic, when she thought about it.
Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined dying like this.
She’d schemed to use a man for revenge against Claire, only for him to turn on her and strangle her to death instead.
Hahaha…
Caroline laughed bitterly in her mind as tears streamed down her face.
But after a few tears, her eyes began to roll back.
Seeing her eyes roll back, Noah finally loosened his grip.
“Cough, cough… cough, cough…” Caroline gasped for breath the moment she was freed.

As soon as she was free, Caroline inhaled gulps of fresh air.

“Listen, I’m giving you one last chance. Who sent you? Plenty of people have grudges against me, and plenty have tried to take me down, but none have succeeded. What makes you think you
will?” Noah sneered.
Just as Caroline was catching her breath, Noah slammed his foot down on her, pinning her to the ground.
“I… no! Mr. Mitchell, please listen to me! It’s not what you think. No one sent me, and I’m not here for revenge!
“The real person I have a grudge against is Claire. She killed my sister and took my sister’s lover. My sister was the only family I had left in this world, and she murdered her! Tell me, how could I not want revenge?” Caroline cried out.
Caroline thought for a moment. Her only justification was accusing Claire of killing Anna.
“Really? If you want revenge, why come to me?” Noah asked, still doubtful.
Noah remained skeptical of Caroline’s words.
With such a deep hatred, Caroline could easily have hired someone to kill Claire. Coming to him to humiliate her didn’t add up.
“Mr. Mitchell, you don’t know how horribly my sister died. Claire hired some thugs to assault her… so I have to use the same method to get back at her. Like you said, she’s now Frederick’s fiancée, and I have no way to get to her through him.

“After thinking it over, the only way was to target her through her company, so I came to you.”
At this critical moment, Caroline had no choice but to use Anna’s tragic death to stall Noah.
Noah laughed. “So, you thought throwing yourself at me would make me agree to kill Claire by assaulting her? Hahaha! Woman, do you think I’m that stupid? Huh? Women like you are a dime a dozen. What makes you think I’d agree? This ‘decent little body‘ of yours? Huh?”
With that, Noah kicked her hard between her legs.
