Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 282

Marguerite had just left when Frederick and his men started to make their way towards the parking lot.

Yuna, still basking in the joy of Frederick's impending confession, conscientiously waited by the side of a Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

As time passed without any sign of Frederick, she peeked back towards the direction they came from, only to see Robert intercepting Frederick halfway, with Miley beside him.A sudden sense of foreboding washed over her. Quietly, she signaled to Zoe and Ablett to follow her as she stealthily circled behind the trio through an adjacent shrubbery.

Robert suddenly halted, forcing Miley towards Frederick with an air of righteousness and brevity, "Go on, spill it!"

Miley was momentarily stunned. She had indeed planned to reveal the truth to Robert, but she never expected him to ask her to lay it all out in front of Frederick.

Embarrassed and conflicted, Miley sidled closer to Robert, gritting her teeth in frustration.

In a hushed whisper, she hissed, "Didn't I say I was going to tell you privately? Why did you bring Mr. Winston into this?"

Telling Robert the truth was an easy task, considering their relationship. She could at least demand him to keep it a secret. However, telling Frederick, who was still technically Marguerite's husband, about Marguerite's secret, felt like backstabbing.

Robert just smiled at her, not bothering to hide anything, "I'd have to tell him anyway, aren't you being foolish?"

Miley's heart skipped a beat. She thought she could trust him with her secret, but he just betrayed her without a second thought. And he didn't even giver her time to react.

Meanwhile, Frederick, anxious to oversee his planned confession, was growing impatient. The two before him were talking around the bush, wasting precious time.

His handsome face twisted in annoyance, "What is the matter?"

Miley was caught in a dilemma. She should've discussed with Marguerite before revealing the secret, but Robert didn't seem to give her that opportunity. However, she had already started talking, she had to continue.
