Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 267

Thelma stomped on the gas pedal, the engine roaring to life, before she sped off in a flurry of dust.

Chuck jogged after her for a few steps, only to get drenched when she deliberately ran over a puddle.

Chuck was livid, "What nerve! Doesn't she know who Mr. Winston is?"

Frederick watched the receding cloud of dust left by the Mercedes, his sharp gaze hardened. He made a quick decision, "Get in the car, we're following her."

"Right away, Mr. Winston!"

Chuck quickly discarded his muddy coat into a nearby trashcan before hopping into the passenger seat, keeping a safe distance behind the lower-end Mercedes.

Brightwater Cove was not a large village. After only a few minutes, they saw Thelma's car pull up to a luxurious two-story mansion.

As they watched Thelma exit her car and saunter into the yard, completely at ease, it was clear that the mansion was her home.

Chuck, still fuming from the puddle incident, parked the car under a tree outside the yard. He was about to get out when he saw that Frederick remained unmoved.

Frederick studied the mansion with a sharp gaze, remaining silent.

Chuck settled back into his seat, confused, "Mr. Winston... aren't you getting out?"

Frederick's calm, deep voice replied, "Do you think she will see you if you barge in like this?"

Oh...

Probably not!

So Chuck was planning to just storm in. But judging by Mr. Winston's words, that didn't seem to be the plan.

Chuck was at a loss, "Mr. Winston, do you have a better idea?"

Frederick squinted slightly, his gaze sweeping over the Mercedes and the mansion.

"How can a midwife afford a Mercedes and a two-story beautiful mansion? As we drove through the village, her house was the most extravagant."

"Mr. Winston, are you saying...?"

"She's been bought out. If we want her to talk, we need to offer more."

Frederick's conclusion was followed by a decisive order, "Go to the nearest bank and transfer five million to a new card."
