Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 21

The more he thought about it, the more Frederick felt that something was off. After pondering for a while, he put down the perfume he was holding and turned to call Yuna.

At that moment, Yuna was busy sorting out packages with her mom. Seeing Frederick's incoming call made her day. She answered jubilantly, "Freddie, you're calling this late, missing me already?"

Ignoring her tease, Frederick cut directly to the chase, "Yuna, who have you been living with all these years? Where do you live?"

Caught off guard, Yuna replied, "I've been living at the casino with my parents!"

Frederick felt a shiver ran through his eyes upon hearing this.

Then, Zoe swiftly grabbed Yuna, hastily typing a reminder on her phone, "You're supposed to be Marguerite, remember her place!"

Realizing her slip, Yuna nervously added, "But, I was living with my grandma in a rented place on Riverside Boulevard some years back."

"Where exactly on Riverside Boulevard?"

Yuna wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but she knew Frederick was onto her. She feared he'd find the exact rental location and expose the truth about Marguerite. If that happened, her rich lady dream would be blown!

That was a no-go.

So, Yuna decided to play dumb. She pretended to think hard, but to no avail, "Freddie, I can't remember. I had a high fever when I was little, messed up my memory a bit. But I remember living with my grandma before moving to the casino with my parents."

Frederick lit a cigar, "Last time I was at the casino, I didn't see your grandma."
