After Divorce, My General Husband Chasin…, 1/8
Chapter 398 His Suspicions Finally Surface
At that moment, sheer terror and Claire’s intense questioning completely shattered Caroline’s composure.
The second Claire mentioned asking Frederick, Caroline lost it. She whipped her head toward Frederick, and panic was written all over her face.
Claire didn’t miss a single flicker of Caroline’s expression. Every tiny reaction
was telling its own story.
Frederick, though, was still stuck on Claire’s earlier words, barely even
registering what was happening.

Chapter 398 His Suspicions Finally Surface But Claire couldn’t care less. All she needed was to plant that seed of doubt in Frederick’s mind and make Caroline scared enough to back off. That would do
the trick.
After all, Claire had bigger fish to fry.
The Hiokeeh Group situation needed her attention like yesterday.
As for Caroline, Claire seriously doubted Frederick would do anything to her.
Unless, of course, Anna wasn’t actually dead, or Caroline had nothing to do with Anna in the first place.
After everything that had gone down, especially this latest brush with death in the car accident, Claire had made peace
Chapter 398 His Suspicions Finally Surface with whatever was between her and
Frederick. And Caroline was the least of Claire’s concerns now.

Right now, she didn’t expect Frederick to do anything about Caroline.
All Claire wanted was to focus on her own
path, quietly growing stronger.
As for Caroline, once Claire became truly powerful, taking her down would be child’s play.
Frederick snapped out of his thoughts. After hearing Claire’s words, suspicion crept in as he frowned at Caroline.
Claire noticed his reaction and smiled. “You know, just this morning, I was watching this crime drama. There was

Chapter 398 His Suspicions Finally Surface this case about someone hiring a hitman.
“In the show, this guy paid off a truck driver to stage an accident. Turns out the truck driver was already dying from some terminal illness.
“He only had days left to live, and he was worried sick about leaving his wife and kids behind. So, he agreed to do it just to get that big payout, making sure his family would be taken care of after he was
gone.
“Caroline, doesn’t this sound weirdly similar to my recent accidents? There are so many coincidences that match ups perfectly. Don’t tell me you and Diana planned my car crash, too?”
With that, Claire gave Caroline’s shoulder

a sharp pat.
Caroline tensed up immediately, rushing to explain herself, “That… Claire, how could that be possible? I can’t even kill a fish, let alone a person. Especially not you. We’ve spent so much time together. I’ve grown to care about you.
“We get along so well. Why would I ever try to hurt you? There’s literally no reason. And Diana? Even more impossible. Claire, you’ve been watching too many dramas. You’re overthinking this.”

Claire raised an eyebrow, and a smile crossed her face. “Yeah, I guess I probably am overthinking it. I really can’t think
of any reason why you and Diana would want to harm me.

She deliberately left it at that. Sometimes,
less was more.
This approach would work best. Saying more would only overplay her hand.
Claire was confident that just this much would be enough to make Caroline squirm under Frederick’s suspicion.
Sure enough, Caroline completely lost her cool, her face turning pale.
She quickly moved to sit on the couch next to Frederick. “I didn’t do it,
Frederick. You have to believe me. I would
C
Chapter 398 His Suspicions Finally Surface never do something like that.”
Frederick just sat there with a dark expression, and his brows was furrowed as he stared at Caroline, not saying a
word.
“Claire, I swear I didn’t do it. Even considering what happened to Anna, I couldn’t have done anything like that. You spent four years in prison and suffered through so much pain and punishment. How could I possibly do that to you?
“Besides, even with Anna’s WhatsApp messages from back then, the case wasn’t exactly airtight. There wasn’t solid physical evidence or witnesses. And someone as kindhearted as you… I just can’t imagine you killing anyone.”
Chapter 398 His Suspicions Finally Surface Caroline rushed to the dining table,
grabbing Claire’s arm as she tried to explain.
While Caroline was desperately making her case, Frederick fired off a quick WhatsApp to Richard: [Double–check everything about the car accident. Focus on Diana and Caroline. Don’t miss a single detail.]
