After Divorce, My General Husband Chasing Me Back novel Chapter 148

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 Claire. 

Caroline was aware of this point. Given that Diana had always been pampered, she was naive to the darker sides of human 

nature.

Meanwhile, Claire was focused on her own plans, unaware of Caroline and Diana’s schemes. 

She was still seeking a chance to ask Frederick to help clear her criminal record. 

Her concerns grew when she saw the trending hashtag, [People who can get to the top know how to have fun]. 

The hot search featured photos of Frederick and her, accompanied by a flood of biased comments reminiscent of the previous scandal.

[It’s possible that there was nothing. He’s just stayed out for a night occasionally.] 

[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 playing 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 the last scandal, could still significantly impact Frederick’s presidential campaign. 

As expected, Frederick soon called. 

Claire raised her eyebrows at the opportunity. 

“I saw the hot search,” she stated directly upon answering. 

“So you know what to do,” Frederick replied tersely. 

“I do, but I have one condition,” Claire countered. 

“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 accepted 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 

to make herself suffer anymore. If a bit of negotiation could yield benefits, she was willing to try. 

“This isn’t a condition. It’s a mutual benefit,” she clarified. 

“Given our public relationship and the recent video, we’re both in a precarious position. 

“My criminal record could become a liability for you, especially now during your campaign, so it would be wise to clear it before it escalates.” 

Claire laid out her reasoning clearly.
