Bride Behind The Mask

Chapter 30

When Chuck went downstairs to find Marguerite, his co–workers deliberately lied that she was slacking off, probably somewhere sneaking in a

пар.

Upon hearing this, Frederick was livid, he dialed Marguerite loads of times, but she didn’t pick up.

After a while, he found out from Yuna that Marguerite had been taken to the police for theft.

He stormed into the station with anger boiling inside him, but the moment he saw Marguerite’s pitiful face, he found himself unable to express his displeasure.

He even felt a pang of sympathy.

However, when Frederick asked three questions in a row, Marguerite seemed totally clueless.

“I ask you, who locked you up?” Frederick’s cold voice echoed again.

Marguerite lifted her head, her gaze fell on Yuna standing behind him.

Frederick frowned at Yuna behind him, “What’s going on?”

Yuna didn’t seem to care. She originally hoped Frederick would support her, but he didn’t even glance at her when he walked in. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Now she finally got her chance, she played victim and exaggerated, “Frederick, she stole my bracelet and was brought in by passers–by, I told them it wasn’t necessary to make a fuss, but they didn’t want me to be wronged. I had no choice but to come here with them.”

Yuna was really’something, so good at twisting the truth.

Marguerite sighed and looked at Frederick, though she knew he didn’t believe her, she insisted on explaining in a soft voice, didn’t steal…”

“But, my bracelet was indeed found in your bag.” Yuna looked pitifully innocent, biting her lower lip, looking very appealing.

By then/Robert had already sent the passers–by away, and walked to the detention area with the officer.

Frederick’s eyes showed a layer of coldness, looking at the officer, he ordered coldly, “Open the door.”

{

The officer looked at Frederick somewhat awkwardly, “Mr. Winston, what is your relationship with this lady?”

“She is my…”

“Employee! I am his employee!” Marguerite unintentionally interrupted him without hearing what Frederick was saying.

They had previously agreed that he wouldn’t let her disclose their relationship in public, Marguerite remembered.

C

Frederick didn’t finish what he wanted to say, a flicker of indiscernible darkness passed through his eyes, leaving everyone clueless about what he was thinking.

Yuna, on the other hand, was gobsmacked.

Marguerite was Frederick’s employee?

So, they not only live together, they also work together?

Suddenly, she felt tense all over.

Robert politely shoved the officer, reminding him timely, “Aren’t you gonna release her? If you don’t, Mr. Winston is gonna lose it.”

The officer was even more embarrassed, he involuntarily looked at Yuna and said, “Mr. Winston, Mr. Fitzgerald, we’re just following the rules here. If Ms. Yuna doesn’t drop the charges, we can’t release her.”

Frederick looked at Yuna without saying anything, hoping she would understand.

Yuna, of course, got what Frederick meant, but she couldn’t accept it. This was not the outcome she wanted!

She lifted her chin, pouted her lips and said, “Frederick, she stole my stuff, are we just gonna let it slide? I’m hurt.”

“I will compensate for your loss, but Marguerite must return to the company now.”

This was infuriating!

-Why would Frederick make up for the loss for Marguerite? She wanted Marguerite to suffer! She wanted Marguerite to be sentenced and stay

away from Frederick forever!

The hatred in her eyes made Frederick even more displeased. He couldn’t comprehend why the Yuna now was so different from the girl he kissed in the morning.

Her vengeful nature surprised him, but he still said patiently in a soft voice, “Good girl, don’t be stubborn now.”

Yuna knew she couldn’t defy him, so she nodded weakly and reluctantly agreed, “Fine, I drop the charges.”

“Ms. Yuna, please come with me to sign.”

Yuna was upset, glaring hard at Marguerite as she turned around.

“Sir, the key!” Robert reminded with a smile.

The officer immediately handed the key to Robert, then took Yuna to sign.

Her face twisted with anger, she was extremely dissatisfied.

After all the procedures were done, she turned around to look for Frederick, only to find the detention room empty.

Where did they go?

They left?

She dashed out of the police station, just in time to see Marguerite getting into Frederick’s car, and then they drove away.

The three of them didn’t wait for her, as if they had forgotten her existence.

The more Yuna thought about it, the angrier she got. Her heart filled with resentment, she was green with jealousy.

What was so special about this woman that she could have two men offering her protection?

The car was getting further and further away, but Yuna couldn’t calm down.

She fumbled for her phone in rage, dialed Zoe’s number and yelled, throwing her image to the wind, “Mom! I want Marguerite dead! She must die!”
