Chapter 133
Bride Behind The Mask
Frederick took a good look at Marguerite.
Seeing her frail body, her hands with skin peeling off tightly clutching her long skirt, revealing a pair of blurred and dirty feet.
The manâs gaze paused, his heart skipped a beat.
Oh, this is bad!
How did this woman end up like this?
No doubt, Frederick felt bad for her.
But his sympathy lasted only for two seconds before he forcibly suppressed it.
He said to himself, âFrederick, havenât you realized it? Isnât this woman just trying to arouse your protective instincts with her pitiful appearance? But in reality, sheâs cunning and manipulative. Whatâs more, sheâs carrying another manâs child without your knowledge. Do you really want to continue being fooled by her?â
Frederick gritted his teeth, his temple veins throbbing violently, âWhatâs the matter, canât speak all of a sudden?â
Marguerite shook her head, âNo⦠itâs not like that. I just⦠donât know where to start.â
Frederick had misjudged her many times, but each time Marguerite chose to remain silent, quietly bearing all the accusations.
Back then, she was proud and stubborn, always thinking that if the other party didnât believe her, any explanation would be useless.
She was unwilling to bow her head and beg others to believe her.
However, when she actually wanted to explain something, she became speechless.
She had borne so many accusations, in front of Frederick, she was a completely disgraced woman.
Oh my god!
How should she speak to make Frederick believe her?
âHmm, donât know where to start?â The man arrogantly descended from the spiral staircase, step by step approaching Marguerite, then harshly grabbed her neck.
Margueriteâs throat suddenly tightened, she couldnât breathe.
âOf course you donât know where to start because youâre carrying someone elseâs child. Thatâs a fact.
What excuse do you plan to use now?â
Tears welled up in Margueriteâs big eyes, âIt was my fault, but I am also a victim. Frederick, the child was an accident, I⦠I was forcedâ¦â
Her voice got weaker and weaker towards the end.
That was the past she least wanted to remember, and the humiliation she least wanted to accept.
Frederick seemed to have heard a very funny joke, asking, âForced? So youâre saying you were raped?â
She bit her lip, tears filled her eyes again.
She sat upright, too pained to speak, could only nod her head with deep humiliation.
âRape?â Frederick uttered the word softly, suddenly laughed, his eyes full of mockery when he looked at Marguerite, âMarguerite, take a good look at yourself.â
Margueriteâs tearful eyes suddenly widened, âYou⦠what do you mean?â
âYour lie is too clumsy, nobody would want to rape you.â
In an instant, humiliation, doubt, and pain engulfed Marguerite.
He didnât say anything too harsh, but Marguerite felt his words were extremely unpleasant.
He said, âNobody would want to rape you.â
Are there any words more repulsive than that?
âFrederick, do you have to say such disgusting words?â Marguerite cried out, her emotions so stirred up that her belly began to hurt.
Suddenly, a hint of pain flashed in Frederickâs eyes.
âI just said some unpleasant words and you canât take it? Marguerite, what Iâve done is nothing compared to you.â
Frederick withdrew his hand with disgust, his impatient expression as if touching her one more time would be repulsive.
Marguerite suddenly collapsed and fell to the ground.
At that moment, Marguerite had lost the desire to explain.
Frederick had humiliated her so much, why should she still apologize to him in a humble manner?
Marguerite casually wiped her eyes. Her stomach was churning, she couldnât control it and started vomiting.
The sound of her vomiting fueled Frederickâs anger, making her vomiting look even more offensive, Every word and action of hers seemed to remind him that he was betrayed by an ugly woman.
This is utterly ridiculous!
âChuck!â Frederick turned around. âThrow her out!â
Throw⦠throw her out?
Although Chuck felt Marguerite had done too much, it didnât seem quite right to just throw a pregnant woman out like this.
He stood there, not knowing what to do.
âDid you hear me? I said, throw her out!â The manâs angry voice rang out again.
Chuck stood there, caught in a dilemma.
But seeing Mr. Winstonâs furious eyes, he could only hesitantly step forward, sighing, âMs. Lockwood, Iâm sorry.â
But before Chuck could touch Marguerite, she fiercely resisted, pushing him away with force. Her voice was tearful but firm.
âDonât touch me! I can leave on my own!â
