Bride Behind The Mask

Chapter 569

Marguerite couldn’t believe what she was hearing. How could she ever say such a thing to a child?

Even if she despised Yuna, she would never hurt a child!

But when Manley told Teresa and Hayes what he believed, they couldn’t stay calm.

Teresa looked from her mom to Frederick, her face a picture of shock.

“Hayes’ daddy, you were married to my mom?” she asked.

But her mom had always told her that they were just boyfriend and girlfriend. Even though she was only

three years old, she knew there was a difference between dating and marriage!

She had seen it all on TV dramas!

Hayes was just as puzzled, looking innocently at Frederick, desperate for some clarity, “Are you…

now… divorced?”

The relentless questioning from the youngsters was enough to make Frederick’s head spin.

He had always believed in Marguerite.

But now that Manley had mentioned a marriage from three years ago, Frederick hesitated! He had

never mentioned this to Manley or Hayes before. If Marguerite hadn’t deliberately revealed it, how

could Manley possibly know? And for a moment, he had even doubted Yuna.

But soon, that confusion vanished as quickly as it had come. Yuna was a woman so keen on the Mrs.

Winston title, so how could she reveal his marriage with Marguerite?

Especially not in front of Manley and Hayes.

He realized he had been wrong to doubt her.

Frederick’s anger flared, his deep eyes flashing with uncontainable fury.

Marguerite felt the full force of his anger and resentment wound tightly around her heart.

Suddenly on the verge of tears, she spoke with a choked voice, yet holding back, “Think what you

want, I don’t mind. But for the trust you had in me yesterday, I’ll always be thankful.”

“Thankful? You think you have the right to say that?” His tone was calm but terrifying.

Upon hearing this, Yuna rushed to cling to Frederick, pressing her body against him, “Freddie, I knew

you would believe our son! Marguerite is nothing but a witch, leading Maurice astray, and now she’s

trying to bewitch you!

Freddie, you can’t let her get away with this! She hurt Manley, she deserves to rot in hell

Yund’s eyes blazed with a venomous rage. But Frederick’s disappointment in Marguerite didn’t mean

he was willing to give Yuna any more attention.

Disgusted, he pushed her away and turned to order the butler, “Sadie, call the family doctor for a full

examination. If anything is wrong with Manley, I will hold you responsible

His last words were aimed directly at Marguerite, delivered with chilling precision.

Sadie, shaken, quickly turned to call the doctor

Marguerite faced Frederick’s gaze, defiant and honest. Even as her eyes turned red with unshed tears,

she stood tall and resolute, not allowing herself to cry

natural for him to be angry

Yet, Marguerite couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of loss.

The love she sought was not a simple exchange of affection.

She craved a biased devotion, the kind where even if the whole world was against hep there would be

one person who would stand unwaveringly by her side, providing her with strength and protection.”

But how could Frederick offer her such devotion when he wouldn’t even admit to love?

It seemed they were star-crossed, fated to meet but destined to part

Marguerite withdrew her gaze and turned to leave, her disappointment palpable

She didn’t see Yuna’s triumphant smirk behind her back.

Fortune favors the bold, indeed! The night before, facing Maurice, she had hesitated to go through with

her plan. Now, it seemed her ruthlessness had paid off!

Sure, Maurice had been hurt, but she had regained some ground with Freddie.

Though he hadn’t punished Marguerite immediately, the disappointment was there, and he needed

time. That’s okay! Once Freddie’s anger cooled, Marguerite would be finished!

Yuna thought to herself, smiling with malicious glee, oblivious to the pain Maurice was suffering behind

her…
