"Alright, Claire, I'll go tell Frederick right away. Don't worry, he will listen to me. Just wait for me."
Caroline was originally angry, but suddenly, she seemed to think of something and had a sudden change in her expression. She approached Claire with a smile and held her hand affectionately. "Sure."
Claire knew that Caroline must have thought of something or was preparing some disgusting tricks to deal with her.
But it didn't matter. If Caroline could really persuade Frederick, then she wouldn't have to starve, and finding a job wouldn't be. so difficult for now. It would be even better.
When Frederick sent her to prison, he and Harrison had erased all her academic records. Now, without any educational background and with a criminal record, finding a job became even more challenging.
Claire thought that no matter what tricks Caroline played next, as long as she didn't kill or starve her, she didn't care. She also didn't believe that Caroline could influence Frederick.
After all, he hated her because of Anna's death.
Unexpectedly, later that evening, Caroline came with Bailey.

"Claire, what do you think? Frederick has agreed! That's great. Starting from today, you don't have to stay in the basement anymore. He said you can follow me from now on. Wherever I go, you go," Caroline proudly exclaimed, walking over and hugging Claire in front of Bailey. Claire knew that she did it on purpose and that she was acting.
She also understood why Frederick allowed her to leave the basement and stay with Caroline. It was to protect her from harm better.
But she couldn't consider all of that anymore. No matter what, it was still better than starving to death in the basement.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Bailey brought Claire to a room.
Caroline prepared it so she could have an easier time carrying out her plan. So, she didn't let Claire stay with the other servants.
Although the room wasn't great and small, it was still a relief for Claire. At least she didn't have to stay in the cold basement anymore.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
She closed the door, enjoying the warmth that had been absent for so long in the winter. She lay on the bed, covered herself with a blanket, and tears involuntarily streamed down her face.
It wasn't just because of the hardships of staying in the basement during this period but also because this moment.

reminded her so much of the day she was released from prison and returned to the Prescott Manor.
It seemed like all the grievances and pain overflowed at this moment, unstoppable, as tears continued to fall.
That night, Claire had the best sleep since arriving at the Halfmoon Manor.
Just like the night she returned to the Prescott Manor after being released from prison, she had a beautiful dream. However, in the dream's final moments, she dreamed that Frederick had gathered a group of thugs and bullied her to death, just as tragic as Anna's death back then.
She still remembered the scene vividly from four years ago when she, Frederick, and Harrison arrived and saw Anna lying lifeless at the entrance of the bar.
She was naked and covered in blood. It was such a horrifying sight.
If it weren't for the recognizable Anna's face, she wouldn't have believed that person was actually Anna.
She desperately tried to explain to Frederick and Harrison, but the message from Anna on her phone was the damning evidence -Claire, I've arrived at Redsun Bar.
To this day, she still didn't know why she received that message.
She clearly didn't make plans to meet Anna at the bar, but she

ended up dead, and there was no way to investigate further. The few thugs were shot dead on the spot by Frederick, leaving no witnesses.
After that night, for Harrison, she, a fake sister who had occupied Anna's identity for many years, killed his biological
sister.
As for Frederick, she had murdered the woman he loved the most. So, based on that one message, they used all their connections to send her to prison.
She even wondered if it wasn't for the strength of the Prescott family and that Frederick needed their support in his
presidential race, they wouldn't have cared about Elizabeth's condition and let her out of prison.
Just as she was thinking, her phone rang. It was a call from Elizabeth.
