Chapter 141
Bride Behind The Mask
Marguerite said, âSure, Frederick kicked me out of the manor, but I didnât sign anything. You think he can divorce me just like that?â
âYou shameless bitch, Marguerite! Let me tell youâ¦â
âTell me what? Yuna, are you hoping for me to die right in front of you?â
Yuna, fuming, lunged at Marguerite, but Marguerite grabbed her wrist.
You want me dead, donât you? You dumped me in the warehouse at Marina Shores Village over 20 days ago, expecting me to vanish into thin air?â
As she spoke, Marguerite put on a mock thoughtful expression and then burst out laughing.
âI remember thereâs a tradition in Stonebridge City. If a spouse dies, the other one has to mourn for a year. Yuna, if I die, Frederick would be in mourning for an entire year! Can you guarantee that he wonât fall for another woman during that time?â
Yuna, redâeyed with fury and disgust, looked like she wanted to tear Marguerite to shreds and brutally finish her off.
But Margueriteâs words stopped her from lifting a finger.
She wanted Marguerite dead more than anyone else, but Marguerite just couldnât die!
That was so infuriating! It was unbearable!
Marguerite snorted again, let go of Yunaâs hand, and said coolly, âYuna, you better pray I stay safe and sound. Or else, you might not find it easy to join the Winston family.â
âIâm not that naive to just let you die, that wouldnât be fun at all, Iâm not done playing with you just yet!â
Yuna, who had just been threatened by Marguerite, lost credibility even as she blustered.
Seeing Margueriteâs lack of reaction, she suddenly started laughing, looking very pleased with herself.
âBy the way, Frederick bought all the shops in Promenade Plaza as my birthday gift. He also booked the most expensive restaurant for my birthday celebration tomorrow. Youâre job hunting, right? Sorry, we only hire staff with a bachelorâs degree or above, and you are not qualified.â
Frederick bought her a whole street of shops! That must have Marguerite green with envy, right?
Yuna, thinking she had successfully flaunted, left with a spring in her step.
By then, night had fallen, and Promenade Plaza was at its busiest.
Neon lights blinked, and the crowd buzzed.
Marguerite stood at the end of Promenade Plaza, peering down a long street with no end in sight.
She felt lost.
No wonder she couldnât even secure a job as a dishwasher, Frederick was so enchanted by Yuna that he had gifted her an entire street just to keep her happy.
But tomorrow was also Margueriteâs birthday, too.
Thinking about this was heartâwrenching, and the loneliness was indescribable.
She stumbled into an alley.
At the end of the alley was a bar named The Drunken Donkey.
Marguerite was about to leave when she noticed a hiring notice on the barâs window.
