Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 266

The next day, at half past five in the morning, the sky was still a dim shade of grey.

Marguerite had to go to help with Laverne's mourning arrangements and to greet the mourners who were arriving.

She got up early, and after a simple breakfast of toast and coffee, she and Frederick set off together.

Laverne’s body laid in the grandest hall of the church. Chuck had arranged everything the day before, even ensuring a mortician applied makeup on Laverne and dressed her in her favorite floral dress.

Marguerite walked slowly into the hall. Laverne in the crystal casket seemed as if she was sleeping, her face serene, except for her lips, which drooped slightly.

Marguerite lit two candles for her, and then she and Frederick tossed a handful of rose petals. By the time they finished, mourners were starting to arrive.

Laverne's hometown was Marina Shores Village, but the villagers there moved on quickly, and although the old lady had many friends, most of them had left the village and scattered to different parts of the country.

Therefore, most of the people who came were friends of Marguerite and Frederick.

The Lockwood family, as direct relatives of Laverne, didn't arrive until noon.

Especially Yuna, she seemed fatigue while greeting guests.

Her lack of energy was starkly different from Marguerite's. Marguerite's fatigue was due to the loss of a loved one, but Yuna's was simply laziness.

She was reluctant to help and seemed impatient. From her expression, Frederick didn't see any hint of grief.

This was far from the expected reaction of someone who just lost a loved one.

This made him even more curious about the relationship between Laverne and Marguerite.

At this time, Chuck hurriedly arrived in a sedan. He immediately found Frederick and mysteriously called him into a corner.

He glanced at Yuna and Zoe, then lowered his voice to report:

"Mr. Winston, I found the midwife who delivered Zoe. But I think you should meet her yourself. She's a peculiar woman, with a temper, and she's very tight-lipped. She won't tell me anything."
