After Divorce, My General Husband Chasing Me Back

Love My Ex-Wife 179

Chapter 179 Too Powerful to Cross

Diana grabbed the maid's arm and questioned her.

In truth, she had already bribed the maid behind the scenes.

The maid's mother was seriously ill and needed money for treatment - a vulnerability Diana had perfectly exploited.

They had carefully rehearsed their story: the maid would claim she'd seen Claire in her room with a man, apparently under duress.

"Yes, I'm afraid Ms. Prescott is in danger! I heard a man's voice and Ms. Prescott crying out. Please, you must break in and save her!"

The maid played her part perfectly, even working up tears of distress as they had planned..

Of course, Diana made sure to emphasize the critical point in her retelling-Claire was alone in a room with a man.

Elizabeth, who led the group, stood before the door with furrowed brows after hearing both accounts.

Having lived as long as she had, she'd seen it all.

There were only two possibilities here: either Claire was genuinely in danger, or this was an elaborate setup.
