Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 238

Jocelyn managing to get out of the turbulent Winston family was a reason for Marguerite to celebrate.

At least, she wouldn't be bullied by Lisette anymore.

Marguerite affectionately took Jocelyn's arm, " Jocelyn, let's hail a cab. What would you like for dinner? I'll have Sadie prepare it for you."

"My car is parked just outside the estate, we can walk." Jocelyn tapped Marguerite's head with her index finger, "What am I going to do with you? You're still smiling despite all this?"

Marguerite puffed her cheeks, "You're not going to be bullied by Lisette anymore, of course, I'm happy."

"Do you think Lisette and Powell will let this go so easily? You've stirred up my house, and they won't let you off so easily."

Marguerite shrugged, "Let's cross that bridge when we get to it."

By the time they finished talking, they had already left the estate.

Jocelyn's car wasn't as luxurious as Marguerite had imagined. It was a second-hand car, parked under a massive tree outside the estate.

Marguerite was taken aback, "Powell only gave you this old car?"

Jocelyn sighed, "I bought the car myself. Frederick had bought me a top-of-the-range Maybach, but Powell thought it was too flashy. He said that I didn't have any status, driving such a nice car would only attract gossip. To keep him happy, I secretly bought a second-hand car."

That was absurd!

It was natural for rich people to drive luxury cars, especially since the car was bought by Frederick. How could she not drive it?

It was clear that Powell was biased, using manipulative tactics on Jocelyn.

"Does Frederick know?" Marguerite asked, visibly upset.

Jocelyn shook her head, "How could I let him know? He'd get into a fight with his father if he found out. And it would be uncomfortable for me stuck in the middle."

Marguerite was unhappy hearing this. Seeing Jocelyn in such a state, she took the car keys from her and walked to the driver's side, "Jocelyn, I'll drive. You rest."

Marguerite was puzzled. Despite living in the top wealthy family for so many years, Jocelyn's lifestyle was barely better than Miley's - a nouveau riche.

At least Miley had a BMW, unlike Jocelyn who couldn't voice her opinion in her family and even had the lowest quality of life.

"Let's go to the apartment." Jocelyn broke the silence.

Marguerite turned to her, "Why? Aren't you staying with us?"

"Powell knows where my apartment is, I'm afraid he'll come looking for me."

Jocelyn's voice was calm, devoid of any emotions, leaving Marguerite perplexed.
