Seeing Claire silent, Frederick was even more convinced that Caroline leaving the villa had something to do with Claire.

"I didn't do anything. Frederick, trust me, I know my place, I have self-awareness. I won't cause any trouble. If you don't believe me, you can call Caroline."

She sat down on the bed, repeatedly thinking about everything Caroline did after finding out she had moved into Halfmoon Manor, but couldn't figure out why Caroline did nothing this time. She could see that Caroline was very fond of Frederick.
