Love My Ex-Wife 169

Chapter 169 Throwing Herself at Frederick Everyday

1/7

Claire had just returned to the Halfmoon Manor from the hotel, completely exhausted from the night's ordeal. The moment she got home, she crashed into bed.

She had no clue about Caroline's recent activities nor about the schemes Caroline was plotting against her.

Right now, all that mattered to Claire was that Frederick had cleared her criminal record, which meant she could finally apply for regular jobs.

Even without a fancy college degree, landing a decent job shouldn't be too much of a stretch.

Her expectations were modest. She just needed enough to support herself.

Antony had returned that million dollars to her, which would keep the wolves from the door for quite a while.

But she needed to think long-term. That money wouldn't last forever if she just sat around.

It was already 3 PM when Caroline returned to the Halfmoon Manor, and Claire was still dead to the world.

Chapter 169 Throwing Herself at Frederick..... Caroline tiptoed into the house, guilt-ridden and terrified of running into Frederick, who might ask where she'd been last night and why she hadn't come home. Thankfully, she made it from the living room to the stairs without crossing paths with him.

"Welcome back, Ms. Beaumont," a maid's voice suddenly called out just as she was about to reach her room.

"Oh!"

Caroline jumped, turning around to give a quick nod.

She darted into her room, but after closing the door, she had second thoughts. She opened it again to ask the maid a question.

"Has Frederick left for work?"

"I'm not sure!" The maid shook her head, genuinely unaware of Frederick's whereabouts.

Caroline thought back to last night, to that private room Diana had set up with drinks laced with Elysium Bliss.
