Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 270

The truth was as clear as day. After leaving Thelma's house, Frederick was eager to rush to the slums of Riverside Boulevard for an investigation.

Upon understanding Frederick's intent, Chuck hurried forward to stop him, his face full of difficulty.

"Mr. Winston, it's no use going there now. You asked me to investigate the slums on Riverside Boulevard before, and I've brought back the original file. It's now gone because I was asked to retrieve it."

Frederick turned to look at him, his piercing gaze making Chuck break out into a cold sweat. "Where is the file now?"

Chuck swallowed, nervousness making his back slick with sweat.

"You told me then that you were worried Ms. Yuna would be upset if she found out you were investigating her. So you asked me to dispose of the file... I... I put it through a shredder..."

Damn it!

He had originally focused on Yuna because of the photo in the file. The woman in it looked just like Yuna!

Furthermore, the woman's last name was the same as Yuna's, which made him jump to conclusion without reading the whole thing.

Now, having heard the truth from Thelma, he was sure that the woman who saved his life fifteen years ago was not Yuna, but someone else.

If that was the case, the woman he had slept with two months ago could very likely be that same girl.

A part of the truth was gradually surfacing, but Frederick couldn't bring himself to feel relieved.

When Thelma had told him all this, the first person that came to his mind was Marguerite.

But Marguerite's appearance was far from "beautiful." On careful inspection, she seemed rather ill-favored, which was a far cry from Thelma's description of "stunning beauty."

So what exactly was the relationship between Laverne and Marguerite? Where had things gone wrong?

Frederick was at a loss.

Seeing Frederick's silence, Chuck thought that Mr. Winston was angry at him for shredding the file, therefore he dared not meet the man's gaze.

He could already imagine Mr. Winston's piercing gaze, and he knew he wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Chuck kept his head lowered, about to apologize, when he heard Frederick's uncertain voice, "The relationship between Marguerite and Laverne remains a mystery..."
