Chapter 147 Never Admit Defeat
Diana remained oblivious and hung up the phone to find someone to do it.
Over the past four years, Caroline''s deliberate acts of kindness had misled Diana, who didn''t think about her this way.
In Diana''s eyes, Caroline had always been a poor girl with a gambling father, an unreliable mother, and essentially a lost sister.
With Anna''s life-saving grace, Diana naturally leaned toward Caroline, making her prefer Caroline over ire.
Caroline was aware of this point. Given that Diana had always been pampered, she was naive to the darker sides of human nature.
Meanwhile, ire was focused on her own ns, unaware of Caroline and Diana''s schemes.
She was still seeking a chance to ask Frederick to help clear her criminal record.

[It''s possible that there was nothing. He''s just stayed out for a night asionally.]
[Child, you are so naive. Go home and find your mother.]
[Those in the know know that those who can reach this level are very good at ying tricks.]
[There''s nothing that others can''t exploit, only things beyond our imagination.]
[A minor action can uncover a wealth of information. Investigating this small lead might reveal a shocking secret.]
The implications of this trending topic, while not as severe as thest scandal, could still significantly impact Frederick''s presidential campaign. As expected, Frederick soon called.

"You think you can negotiate conditions with me?" he frowned, surprised by her boldness.
"I''m not qualified, but that won''t stop me from speaking my mind," she retorted.

She had epted her fate, but it didn''t mean giving in, nor did it mean she had to obey everything.
She knew that she couldn''t beat Frederick, and she didn''t want

"ire, this is your idea. Do you think I will agree?" Frederick scoffed, not expecting her to approach him this way.

If she cleared her record, she could seek employment and potentially distance herself from him.
When he thought of this, the first thought that popped into Frederick''s mind was that ire would try every possible means to escape from him. "I''m just stating the facts. Whether you agree is up to you," she continued.

She knew very well that at this moment, it would be useless even if she knelt down and begged Frederick. If it was useful, she would not have been sent to prison four
