Chapter 10 Diana Being Slapped
Four years ago, Diana and Anna were best friends. Claire and Anna met each other because of Diana's birthday party.
Hearing Anna's death, Diana almost stabbed Claire with a knife.
Diana originally came to find Frederick for something else but as soon as she arrived at the Halfmoon Manor, she heard the servants talking about Claire..
Upon hearing Claire's name, she immediately exploded in anger.
Back then, when Frederick was still a major, Anna's brother, Andrew Beaumont, served as his adjutant. During the huge war on the border, Andrew sacrificed himself to save Frederick's life.
If it hadn't been for Andrew, it would have been Frederick who died at that time.
It was because of this that Anna had the opportunity to be by Frederick's side. Later, Anna also save Diana's life during an accident. Therefore, both Frederick and Diana owe Andrew and Anna a debt of gratitude for saving their lives. Given the deep bond between them, one could imagine how much Diana hated Claire.
Claire was really afraid that in the next moment, Diana would come at her with a knife just like four years ago.

"I didn't..."
She endured the pain and was about to explain, but Diana grabbed her hair and forcefully pulled her up.

"It seems that you haven't learned enough lessons. What do you have now? You're no longer the princess of the Prescott family. You have nothing else left. How dare you try to seduce my
brother!
"Oh, no! You still have this face. You have been very proud of it since you were a child. After all, there are so many boys pursuing you in school! Well then, I'll ruin your face and see if you still have the nerve to stay by my brother's side." The hatred in Diana's eyes was no less than four years ago.
Claire couldn't react for a moment.
But upon hearing that Diana only wanted to ruin her face, she was relieved. As long as she wasn't going to be killed, nothing else mattered.
She was being held up like that, collapsed on the ground, her eyes empty and blankly staring as Diana approached with a knife aimed at her face.
The pain was just unbearable, far worse than she had imagined. When the tip of the knife touched her face, the pain caused uncontrollable spasms, as if a patient with epilepsy was having a seizure.

When Frederick returned, he saw Claire lying limp on the ground as soon as he walked in. She made no sound, her face pale without a trace of color, as if devoid of life. She seemed like she would die at any moment. However, she didn't resist in the slightest, even enduring it silently. Her face bore the bloody gash left by Diana's knife, and blood was already dripping from her face onto the white marble floor. "Diana, have you gone
gone mad?"
Frederick was startled, rushed forward, snatched the knife from Diana's hand, and threw it to the ground with a loud clang before slapping her.
After he finished, he realized what he had done.
His hand, suspended in mid-air, moved stiffly, unable to believe that he had actually slapped his sister for Claire's sake.
At that moment, he saw Claire's submissive, degraded appearance. He couldn't reconcile it with the proud, fiery, and domineering image of the princess of the Prescott family in his memory.
"Frederick, have you gone crazy? You actually hit me for that murderer? Have you forgotten? It was she who killed Anna. She orchestrated the gang bully that led to Anna's death!" Diana was stunned, covering her burning face, looking at

Frederick in a daze, and then she began to scream frantically.
Frederick didn't know how to respond.
Those few words had brought him back four years ago to that rainy night when Anna died, a night drenched in blood.
It felt as if a blunt knife had forcefully pierced his heart, wanting
to tear it out.
However, before Frederick had a chance to speak, Claire went mad and knelt on the ground, repeatedly apologizing, "It's all my fault! It's all my fault! I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
The deafening volume of the cries and the tearing roar instantly plunged Claire back into that abyss of fear, suffocation, and madness.
She trembled all over, repeatedly apologizing.
The sound of her forehead forcefully hitting the ground reached their ears. Not only Frederick but even Diana turned her head abruptly and looked at Claire, who was kneeling and apologizing on the ground, completely shocked. Write your comment
