Chapter 156 Lady of the House


    "Elysium


    Bliss?"


    Frederick couldn''t believe it. That Diana would dare to order Elysium Bliss-it was entirely unexpected.


    Not long ago, he had even used the substance to pressure ire.


    He''d seen firsthand the effects it had on women who consumed


    1. it.


    After years in politics, rising to the rank of General, Frederick knew the murky underbelly of power, money, and temptation better than anyone.


    Most of his covert dealings took ce at Eclipse Nightclub, and, he had encountered Elysium Bliss far too many times to count.


    She pried into his ns to go to the private room and had even ordered Elysium Bliss. The implications were crystal clear-she was nning something targeting him. The realization brought back memories of the other night when Caroline had fallen ill.


    He should have noticed it then.


    Anna''s kind-hearted nature and Caroline''s seemingly innocent demeanor over the past four years had blinded him. He hadn''t


    . Chapter 156 Lady of the House


    wanted to suspect anything.


    That night, when Caroline fell ill, Frederick had tried to convince himself it was all just a coincidence. Her actions-they had to be the result of her being unwell, nothing more.


    But Diana and Caroline had always been close, practically inseparable. Could Caroline have been involved in this scheme as well?


    His hands tightened into fists, his knuckles cracking under the pressure as his gaze turned icy.


    "General, shall I proceed with..."


    Richard, who had served Frederick for years, knew better than anyone what his moods meant. Sensing his growing fury, he carefully ventured to ask for instructions. "We''ll y along." Frederick''s jaw tightened, and his fists clenched so hard that his bones audibly protested. He uttered only these words.


    "Yes, General."


    Richard bowed respectfully and immediately left to make the necessary arrangements.


    If Frederick''s reaction was anything to go by, tomorrow night at Eclipse Nightclub would be anything but peaceful. Richard''s job was to ensure all contingencies were covered. Chapter 156 Lady of the House


    As he closed the door behind him, Richard sighed deeply, shaking his head.


    "Ms. Diana Hawthorne... you must not realize who actually owns Eclipse Nightclub. To think you''d try to pull a stunt like this on your own brother... Well, some people just don''t know when to stop until it''s toote." Muttering under his breath, Richard made his way to Eclipse Nightclub to prepare for the storm ahead.


    Diana, unaware that Frederick had uncovered everything, was busy scheming with determination.


    Her n was clear: if Caroline could be with Frederick tomorrow, leveraging her identity as Anna''s younger sister,bined with the good impression she had cultivated over the years by staying by Frederick''s side, the oue would be inevitable. In the end, Frederick would surely choose Caroline.


    At the Halfmoon Manor, ire had tidied up everything, eaten dinner, and settled in for the evening.


    She was finally looking forward to a good night''s sleep. As for Caroline''s peculiar behavior earlier that day, ire had no intention of dwelling on it.


    After all, she was now openly by Frederick''s side, a rtionship well-known across all of Kingstown.

    With Frederick''s promise to erase her criminal record, nothing else truly mattered.


    Caroline no longer posed a threat to her life, and ire could now focus on finding a job and living a normal life.


    This was everything she had dreamed of while in prison-a simple, ordinary existence that had finally be her reality. ire had no other desires left.


    That night, she slept more peacefully than she had in years.


    With everything weighing her down finally lifted, she felt a sense of lightness she hadn''t known in ages.


    She even dreamed-a rare urrence. In her dream, she was a humble office worker at a smallpany, going about her days with a steady, predictable rhythm.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Shemuted between work and home, and her life centered around a quiet routine. On weekends, she strolled through town, and on holidays, she took small trips. Her life was simple, fulfilling, and happy.


    When ire woke the next morning, a smile lingered on her lips.


    "Good morning."


    "Good morning, Ms. Prescott."


    "Good morning, Wendy."

    "Good morning, Ms. Prescott."


    ire was in a good mood. After freshening up, she came downstairs to eat and greeted everyone with a smile.


    Everyone responded politely, as things had changed for ire since her return to the Halfmoon Manor. Everyone knew she was soon to be engaged to Frederick, so they treated her with utmost respect. Wendy, ever eager to please, was singing her praises, and as a result, the entire atmosphere in the manor had shifted.


    "Who would have thought Ms. Prescott would return so down-to-earth?"


    "Indeed."


    "I''ve always thought Ms. Prescott was a good person. Didn''t she once risk her life to save a servant and got seriously injured? How manydies would do such a thing?"


    "Yes, but before, General Hawthorne and Ms. Prescott had some conflicts, which is why we all kept our distance."


    By the time breakfast was over, the entire Halfmoon Manor was buzzing with praise for the futuredy of the house, who was described as having such a good temperament that everyone felt fortunate. When Caroline stepped outside, she overheard two servants

    tálking.


    "Ms. Prescoll is really kind. She doesn''t seem at all like the arrogant and overbearing person people used to talk about."


    "Yes, indeed. General Hawthorne has great taste in choosing such a wonderful woman to be thedy of the manor."


    Caroline had originally been in a good mood, excited about finally being with Frederick tonight, and had dressed with extra care for the asion.


    However, upon hearing the servants'' praise of ire and the constant mention of her being the dy of the house'', she felt a surge of anger.


    "Chattering fools, always gossiping instead of doing your work," Caroline muttered, her nostrils ring with frustration.


    She raised her hand, about to strike the two servants, when, at that exact moment, Frederick happened to walk by. "What are you doing?"
