Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 189

When Marguerite arrived at Miley's apartment, Miley had already finished her date with Robert and was back home.

Marguerite spent half an hour explaining the ins and outs of the whole situation to Miley.

Miley listened attentively, studying the cufflink that Marguerite had brought back. As she thought it over, she began to analyze it.

"Yuna isn't entirely in the wrong, you know. Back in Marina Shores Village, you were incredibly popular. Everyone loved you. It's only natural that Yuna felt threatened."

Marguerite shook her head in frustration, "Don't you think the whole thing is just too suspicious? I didn't even know Frederick when he went to the casino to look for Yuna! Why did they want me to wear a mask? Could they have predicted that I'd have trouble with Frederick in the future?"

Miley agreed with a nod and shrug, taking a gulp of water.

"Better safe than sorry, I guess. But they sure made a big deal out of it, making you wear a mask just to prevent Mr. Winston from falling for you! And as far as I can tell, Yuna didn't exactly win Mr. Winston's affections with her looks either! Didn't you notice? When you got burned yesterday, he left her right away!"

Marguerite sighed heavily, her small face fraught with worry. She had a feeling that things weren't as simple as they seemed.

Miley sensed Marguerite's concerns, placing her hands on Marguerite's shoulders and resting her chin on them from behind.

"Your relationship with Mr. Winston is actually quite simple. You were instructed by a mysterious person to marry him and that's it. As for Yuna's motive for making you wear a mask, it's also straightforward. You two are identical twins, so she naturally fears that Mr. Winston might mistake you for her. And given the Lockwood family's intelligence, they certainly can't think that far. So things might not be as complicated as you think."

Miley's analysis seemed to sway Marguerite a little.

In fact, the evidence was pretty clear, but Marguerite just found the reason behind the mask hard to accept.

The Lockwood family threatened her grandmother's life, to coerce her time and time again.
