Chapter 243
Bride Behind The Mask
How did he know that she was the one responsible for the photos?
Was everything she did under his control?
Never mind. Since he had already traced it back to her, she was too lazy to play games with him. âWho are you? Are you Maurice?â âWhat does it matter who I am? Iâm telling you, Marguerite, if you insist on doing this, I will make everyone around you leave one by one. Your grandmother, your best friend, even Frederick.â
People are always afraid of the unknown, and the mysterious man was just that to Marguerite.
She was in the light while he was in the dark. She had never seen him, didnât know his goals or his thoughts.
Even the matter of him wanting her to marry Frederick, she still didnât understand why.
Thinking about it, Marguerite felt a chill. The mysterious manâs voice came through again, âMarguerite, arenât you going to back down?â
12.50 ChapterTheir conver lon didnt last long. In fact, ther bus man didnât give Marguerite a chance to resist at all.
She was no longer the fearless Marguerita from two months ago. Now, she had her grandmother and she had fallen in love with Frederick, both of whom were her weak spots.
She had no idea how powerful this mysterious man was. Maybe he was just tuffing, but Marguerite still felt threatened.
She immediately had Miley take down the online photo after hanging up the call. When she reopened the webpage, everything was peaceful. But so what?
Her goal had been achieved Jocelyn had returned to the old house, and Fragrance Finesse was severely damaged. That was enough.
At this moment, Frederick walked in, his eyes fixed on her without blinking, âHave you had enough?â
Marguerite was confused.
âDonât play innocent, the photo.â
Marguerite felt a bit downcast.
Why did everyone know it was her who did it?
Margueriteâs face was emotionless, but the loss in her eyes was impossible to hide. âI didnât leave any trace⦠Are you mad?â
Frederick stood in front of her, hands in his pockets, his demeanor becoming softer, âMarguerite, how did I never notice before that you are so troublesome? Canât you stop causing problems?â
âYou think this is causing problems? The market value of Fragrance Finesse has shrunk by nearly half, all the vendors have come to you, and that mall How was it causing problems?
It was obviously a great help.
Frederick watched Marguerite getting upset, and he felt a tug at his heartstrings.
Had he been too harsh and frightened the woman in front of him?
Frederick tapped his nose, cleared his throat, and asked softly. âIs that why you did it?â
âYeah.â
Marguerite instinctively nodded, but she was afraid Frederick would see through her, so she quickly shook her head, âNot completely. Mainly it was because of Jocelyn, and⦠and to punish Fragrance Finesse by the way.â
Frederick raised an eyebrow, âby the way?â
âYes, by the way.â Marguerite was sure of her answer and looked up to meet his gaze, âSo did I really cause you trouble?â
Frederick looked deeply at her, suddenly unsure how to respond.
Truthfully, what Marguerite had done had improved the companyâs performance in the short term, but at the same time, it had put her in a more dangerous situation.
Her opponents were the entire Winston family â Lisette, Maurice, even Powell, None of them would let her off easily This foolish woman was always thinking of ers, unaware of the trouble sheâd brought upon herself.
He would have to stay by her side at all times from now on.
Marguerite was still gazing at him, seemingly desperate for an answer Frederick felt a moment of tenderness. He wanted to step forward and stroke her hair, but he held back He gave a faint smile, âSince itâs already done, donât overthink it. Letâs go to the hospitalâ
The hospital?
Was he planning to take her to see Yuna?
Why?
Marguerite couldnât figure it out She felt a lump in her throat and her tone was naturally a bit sharp. 7 wont go Frederick softened his tone. Please Marguerite was confused, âArent you afraid Iâll start a fight with Yuna at the hospital?â
He was afraid, of course he was But Frederick had no choice He was warned about the Winston family coming after her and didnât feel comfortable leaving Marguerite alone in the office Though he was worried about her, his words came out differently âWeâve already gone public with our relationship if someone saw me meeting Yuna alone, it would cause problems. But as long as you are there everything can be explainedâ
