After Divorce, My General Husband Chasing Me Back novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239 Poison 

1/4 

Frederick observed Alan and Claire calmly. He knew there must 

be something going on. 

He didn’t know what it was. 

Only Claire was filled with panic and helplessness. 

Just as she was about to tell Frederick about it, Alan came over. 

She didn’t know what to do. 

She had to do it. Otherwise, all their efforts would be in vain. 

At this critical juncture, if she didn’t do what Alan said, she might die here. 

But Frederick… 

“What? Ms. Prescott, are you planning to go back on your words?” 

Seeing that Claire was reluctant to take action, Alan urged Claire. 

After hesitating, Claire had to do it. Because her body had been soaked in the water for so long, she could hardly stand. If she moved, she would fall into the water. She could only hold on to Frederick’s shoulders.

She said, “The knife is poisonous, but it’s a slow–acting poison. It will make you feel uncomfortable, but it won’t kill you. Frederick, believe me.” 

Coincidentally, Claire could take this opportunity to explain to Frederick. 

Then, she took out the knife from her shoe and stabbed Frederick’s arm. 

Claire thought that the arm should be the least painful, much better than the abdomen and chest. 

She stared into Frederick’s eyes, hoping that he would believe

Frederick didn’t know what had happened. But he knew that Claire had been captured before, and there must be something going on between them. 

Hearing Claire’s words and looking at her eyes, he was willing to believe it. 

However, Alan took out the recording of the previous negotiation between him and Claire about cooperation. 

She said, “Frederick and I have been engaged, but he doesn’t like me. You must know about this kind of marriage. 

“Families like the Hawthorne family, who are in politics, naturally need financial support. As for the reasons, I don’t

“That’s how my engagement to Frederick came about. I have indeed loved him since I was young. I thought that being able to marry the man I like the most, I would be the happiest woman in the world. 

“But I didn’t expect that he has always had a sweetheart, and I know her. What’s more dramatic is that there is a greater entanglement between me and this woman. 

“My biological mother was an obstetric nurse. 

“Due to the unbearable family situation, she selfishly switched me with the daughter of the wealthiest family in Kingstown, the Prescott family, after I was born, and I became the daughter of the Prescott family…” 

Frederick heard all the content of the conversation between Claire and Alan. 

Alan said, “Isn’t it exciting? General Hawthorne, your fiancée, whom you loved so much, had already chosen to cooperate with me long before you came. 

“Although this knife is small, it is covered with a deadly poison. Once you are poisoned, you will feel as if your body is being bitten by millions of bugs.
