After Divorce, My General Husband Chasing Me Back novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162 The Strongest Dose 

Claire was long accustomed to Frederick’s distrust. Reflecting on how she had instinctively tried to explain herself the night before, she felt utterly foolish. 

Thinking about it, she had loved him for so many years. When things like this happened, her first instinct was naturally to explain herself. 

Habits like that weren’t something she could change so easily. 

No matter–she would take it slow. One day, she would get used to breaking that habit. 

In fact, hadn’t she already stopped explaining herself to Frederick as much as she used to? 

“Claire, do you believe I can send you back to prison with just one word?” 

Frederick’s narrowed eyes glinted with a dark, oppressive intensity as he lay there, staring at her back. 

“Of course, I believe it. So, are you going to send me back?” 

Claire turned and met his gaze. 

What had happened last night had caught even her off guard.

But when it came to Frederick, there was no need to be overly confrontational–it would only backfire. 

Frederick wasn’t a fool. If she merely posed the question, he would weigh the consequences himself and decide whether locking her up again was worth it. 

“Get out!” 

Frederick clenched his fists tightly. After a long moment of deliberation, all he could manage was that single command. 

He knew all too well that, at this critical juncture, sending Claire back to prison would be a foolish move. 

In truth, doubts about the events of the previous night were starting to creep into his mind. 

When Claire had burst into the private lounge, he had been consumed by fury and lashed out, demanding answers from her. 

But now that he had cooled down, things didn’t add up. Claire had no reason to orchestrate something like that. 

After Claire left, he immediately called Richard. 

“Investigate carefully. Find out exactly what happened last night,” Frederick ordered. 

“Yes, General. By the way, about the meetings you canceled last night–should I reschedule them for tonight?” Richard responded promptly but then hesitated, recalling the important

appointments Frederick had abruptly canceled the previous evening.

Frederick frowned slightly, “Reschedule them, but not at Eclipse Nightclub. That place has likely been compromised. Find a more secure location.” 

Frederick was well aware that during such a critical time, caution was paramount. Not even the slightest mistake could be tolerated. 

“Understood. I’ll handle it right away.” 

After ending the call, Richard immediately contacted Eclipse Nightclub. “Suite 3066 can be opened to the public now. Make it a fixed location; no more frequent changes.” 

Half an hour later, news of this decision reached Hannah at the underground Eclipse Nightclub. 

“What? Got it, I understand.” 

Hannah hung up the phone, her heart racing with unease. Taking a deep breath, she retrieved her phone and dialed another number. 

“Sir, I’m not sure why, but Frederick suddenly shut down all operations here. Suite 3066 has been downgraded to a regular suite. I’ve confirmed that I haven’t been exposed–you have my word.” Hannah’s voice was anxious as she hurriedly explained. 

“I see. No matter. Perhaps some of my recent maneuvers have

caught his attention. If that’s the case, so be it. If Frederick couldn’t sense even this, he wouldn’t be who he is,” the man on the other end replied with a slow, deliberate tone, as if this outcome had been anticipated. 

Hannah pressed further. “Should I stay on at the underground Eclipse Nightclub?” 

“Stay for now. Let’s wait and see.” 

The man paused briefly, and just as he was about to hang up, his tone softened. “Hannah, you’ve worked hard over the years.”
