Chapter 414
Bride Behind The Mask
Robert froze as he held the photo, while Mileyâs face turned a shade of embarrassed red. Hastily, she said, âYou promised me just now! Hayes can testify!â
Teresa shot Robert a sideways glance before returning to her fried chicken, âWell, Iâve changed my mind. I donât want to help anymore!â
There must be a reason! Robert and Hayesâ dad are good buddies! For Hayesâ sake, please help-
Please, Iâm begging you!â Miley started to coo at Teresa, trying her best to persuade her Upon seeing this. Hayes also decided to lend a hand. He gripped Teresaâs arm, pointing at Robert, âHe is my godfather⦠I like him⦠help himâ¦â
Yet Teresa looked determined, as if nothing anyone said could change her mind.
itâs exactly because heâs a friend of Hayesâ daddy that I refuse to help! Heâs a bad guy!â
Robert was confused Frederick is a bad guy, fine. But how does that have anything to do with him?
Teresa frantically turned to Miley, warning. âBirds of a feather flock together. A friend of A bad guy is also a bad guy. Donât let this man fool you!â
Upon hearing this, Robert nearly lost his temper âLittle girl Why are you calling me a bad guy, too?â What kind of twisted logic is this?
Teresa joyfully gnawed on her chicken wing, glancing at her godmother, then at Robert.
An idea suddenly popped into her head, and she changed her tune, âI can help, but only if you can get my mom to work at that bad guyâs company.â
In truth, Teresa already knew about Margueriteâs job loss since yesterday. Because Hannah had brought a lot of her motherâs stuff from the office last night. She had guessed it then.
Asking her mom to work at Hayesâ fatherâs company was the solution she had been pondering over all night.

Every time she thought about it, Teresa couldnât help but soften.
At this moment, Miley and Robert exchanged a look, their spirits lifting.
Getting Marguerite to work at Thunderbolt Enterprises was already part of their plan.
Now that Teresa had the same idea, she could undoubtedly become their little helper!
In this way, they could let Teresa persuade Marguerite As for Frederick, Robert would handle him.
Robert grinned, eagerly asking. Two peopleâs power is limited. Would you be willing to join us and help them?â
Teresa blinked, thinking that her godfather sounded like a gang leader!
Join them? Of course, she would join them and help!
This way, she could better play matchmaker for her father and mother!
Teresa was eager inside but didnât want Robert to see her anticipation.
Otherwise, he might use her motherâs job offer to blackmail her into drawing his portrait!
www She feigned calmness and nodded, âAlright, Ill be in charge of convincing mom! After she successfully gets the job, Ill consider helping you!â
Robert extended his palm, âThen letâs seal the deal with a high five!â
Teresa liked sealing deals with high five She started liking her godfather If possible, she would have liked to invite her godfather to join their âVine Whip Alliance!â
But no, her godfather was too old to qualify for membership in the Vine Whip Alhancelâ
As Teresa thought, she extended her arm and high-fived Robert Just as their hands separated, a stern and icy voice sounded from behind, âHaving a secret meeting behind my back, very goodâ
Everyone was stunned. Isnât that the voice of that bad guy?!
Everyone turned around to see Frederick, hands in pockets, standing behind them.
Frederickâs gloomy gaze was fixed on the hands that Robert and Teresa had just high-fived
