Chapter 354 Two Point Six Inches Distance
Richard knew that Frederick had taken Claire to the hospital for examination.
He also knew that Frederick, Claire, and Caroline went there together that afternoon.
But the next day after the inspection that afternoon, Frederick locked Claire and Antony in the basement not long after returning.
Later, riots broke out in Kingstown.
Then, Richard and Frederick went straight to deal with the riot.
Frederick didn’t even have time to get the test results before Claire got into trouble.
Even if she was pregnant, she and her child were already dead. There was no need to check the results.
But why did Caroline have this test result?
Subconsciously, Richard recalled what happened on the day
Claire died.
According to the servants at the Halfmoon Manor, Claire

suddenly had a stomachache after lunch that day and was taken to the hospital by Caroline and Diana,
He took another look at the time on the test results and was
shocked,
A terrible truth was about to emerge in his mind.
If at the same time, it was just Claire who had a stomachache, or if Caroline went to get the test results, there would be nothing
wrong.
After all, it was Caroline who accompanied Frederick and Claire to the hospital for a check–up that day.
Frederick had been too busy in those days and had forgotten about it, so it was okay for Caroline to get it back.
But on the same day, Caroline went to get the test results, and Diana also came. Happened not long after they got the test results and returned to the Halfmoon Manor, Claire felt a stomachache after eating.
Then, Diana and Caroline took her to the hospital, but she happened to have a car accident on the way.
The one that collided was a tanker truck filled with gasoline.
As Richard reached this point in his analysis, his hands holding the test results began to tremble.
If all the coincidences came together, it was not a coincidence.

He was a little nervous because this matter involved Diana and
Caroline,
Richard couldn’t help swallowing and was about to take out his cell phone from his pocket to call Frederick.
However, the moment he turned on the phone and dialed the number, he hesitated again.
Now, because of Claire’s death, Frederick had not rested for several days. He fainted and was sent to the hospital.
So, Richard couldn’t call Frederick at this time.
Even if he wanted to tell Frederick, he had to wait until he had found out everything.
Richard decisively returned to the dial–up interface and called his subordinates directly. “Put down all the work at hand and help me check something…”
Hanging up the phone, he felt even more nervous.
If the final result was that Caroline and Diana really committed intentional homicide, the consequences would be truly
unimaginable.
Caroline was fine, but the key was Diana.
She was the heiress of the Hawthorne family, and they would never leave her alone.

“As for Claire, although she was kicked out of the Prescott familyfour years ago, it also confirmed the fact that she was not the heiress of the Prescott family, Elizabeth had always been very caring toward Claire. Even after knowing Claire’s identity, she still treated her as her own granddaughter.”
Now, Elizabeth did not know about her death. If she knew, she would definitely investigate it.
The Prescott family was once the richest family in Kingstown, and their power was complicated and intertwined, so if they wanted to investigate something, it would be very easy.
Even though they were no longer the richest family in Kingstown, they still could not be underestimated.
After Elizabeth’s husband, Mason Prescott, died, the reason
why the Prescott family was able to become the richest family why the Prescott family was able to
was because Elizabeth was vigorous and decisive in the business world.
If Elizabeth wanted to, she could find out.
At that time, a war between the Prescott family and the Hawthorne family would inevitably occur.
As a result, Frederick would lose the most powerful support from the Prescott family.
Well…

The more Richard thought about it, the more he felt that the consequences would be terrible.

No one knew better than him how much suffering and sacrifice Frederick had endured behind the scenes to get to where he was.
Now, it was the most critical moment in the presidential
competition, so Richard absolutely could not allow such an accident to happen.
Frederick could not lose the support of the Prescott family at any cost.
Struggling to the end, Richard only had one thought left.
Whether Claire was deliberately killed by Caroline and Diana, he had no choice but to keep it secret and not let any news leak out.
Even Frederick could not know that.
Just as Richard made the decision, his cell phone rang.
“Adjutant Parker, I just asked someone to check it out and found it easily. On the day that Ms. Beaumont and Ms. Diana Hawthorne went to the hospital to get the test results, they did go to the pharmacy and bought medicine that can make people have stomachaches…”
In fact, hearing that, he did not need to listen to what followed.
The result was obvious.
“Yes, I understand.”
A
Chapter 354 Two Point Six Inches Distance Richard sighed and hung up the phone.

He tightly grasped the test results in his hand, and Claire’s face kept appearing in front of his mind.
He stared at Frederick’s number on the call record interface.
His hand just stood there 2.6 inches away from the phone screen, frozen.
