Chapter 334
Chapter 334 Her Fancy
Claire was in the middle of a phone call with Antony when she heard a commotion outside the door. Before she could even move, the door burst open, kicked in by Frederick.
Her breath caught in her throat, shock freezing her in place. She was about to say something, but the words died in her mouth as her eyes landed on Diana, standing silently next to Frederick. In the other room, Caroline had been waiting, anticipating
Frederick's outburst.
"Frederick, what's wrong? What's happening?"
Caroline rushed out, feigning innocence as if she had no clue about the chaos about to unfold.
After her declaration, her gaze locked with Diana's, their eyes reflecting a shared sense of triumph and defiance.
This video was crafted by Caroline, inspired by the swirl of
recent events.
She and Diana had poured over the idea for a solid two hours, meticulously weaving every element into the fabric of the video until it was seamlessly integrated.
Moreover, Frederick harbored a deep-seated grudge against Claire due to past events. With all these circumstances

converging at once, Claire was poised to face a fate far worse than mere demise!
"Explain to me what's going on?" Frederick shouted.
His face twisted with rage. Without warning, he flung Diana's phone at Claire.
Claire didn't have time to react. The phone hit her square on the forehead. Blood trickled down her face.
But she barely noticed. Her fingers trembled as she picked up the shattered device from the floor.
What could make Frederick this furious?
Her eyes widened as the video of her and Antony making love played. She glanced at Diana and Caroline, standing silently beside Frederick.
Claire thought, "Oh, there was no doubt now. This was their doing."
She recalled their scheme to set her up during Elizabeth's birthday party.
Their plot to entrap her had faltered, but in an unforeseen twist, Diana returned only to ensnare Claire in another deception. "This video is a fake. That's not me," Claire said firmly.

She switched off the phone and met Frederick's gaze with her chin lifted in defiance.
"Is that your explanation?" Frederick sneered.
"Yes," Claire replied, her chest rising with a newfound courage.
"Fine. Take her to the basement!" Frederick yelled.
He let out a scornful sneer as he ordered Claire to be confined
within the basement.
Richard, who had returned with Frederick, watched the entire scene unfold.
Claire knew words were futile now.
Frederick would never believe her. So, she resigned herself to silence, choosing to save her energy and think long-term.
The video had blindsided her, and for a moment, even she had
been stunned into silence. It was too convincing.
Momentarily, she couldn't distinguish the authenticity of the video, and Frederick was certainly no better at it.
She offered no resistance, allowing them to lead her to the
basement.
"Frederick, now you can't blame me for stirring up trouble. Claire had nothing to say after watching the video. It's clear she Fancy
and Antony have been seeing each other behind your back.
"Oh, and by the way, I heard from the grapevine that Claire went to the hospital this afternoon for a checkup. They think she might be pregnant. Antony must be the father of her baby!" Observing the unfolding drama, Diana seized the moment to stoke the fires of discord.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"If you've got nothing better to do, just go home!" Frederick yelled and looked livid, the air around him growing thick with menacing, murderous intent.
However, he masked his true feelings in Diana's presence. After all, they weren't related by blood; Diana and Arthur were the offspring of Jane.
He had to be careful. Diana might not know all the secrets yet, but Frederick was always on guard, always prepared.
"Frederick! You can't be serious..." Diana protested.
Her pride was wounded. She hadn't expected Frederick to dismiss her so abruptly at such a crucial moment.
How could she possibly be willing to accept this?
But before she could push further, Frederick's cold stare pierced through her. "You haven't been exiled long enough abroad, have you?" he warned. Diana wilted instantly, any trace of defiance evaporating.

She shot Caroline a look, silently signaling it was time to retreat.
As for the phone, the one containing the damning video? She left it behind without a second thought.
She thought, "It's just a phone. I'll buy a new one on the way
home."
Diana: [Caroline, don't be anxious, and don't act rashly. We've succeeded today. I'll find a way to come back in the next two days. This time, Claire must be destroyed!] Halfway, Diana sent a message to Caroline.
Caroline responded almost immediately. Caroline: [Okay, I won't do anything hasty. I'll wait for your return. The moment I hear anything, I'll let you know.]
"Act rashly?" Caroline scoffed internally. "No way."
She had seen Frederick's fury today. There was no way she'd rush into anything without Diana by her side. She wouldn't be the first to face Frederick's wrath if things went south. It was better to let Diana take the lead and absorb the fallout. Caroline thought contemptuously, "That pampered Diana is such a fool! All I have to do is sit back and wait for the fireworks."
She smiled with a sense of victory and imagined herself lying under Frederick after everything would align perfectly.
