This made him feel insecure and felt that they were spying on him. This made him insecure and felt that they had laid a trap for him, and hence was alert to protect himself from becoming the victim.

The valet who brought his morning cup of tea just tripped over the unexpected bed. Thus he, himself became a victim by trying to avoid being tricked.
