Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 286

Maurice looked deep into Marguerite's eyes, his gaze sharp and profound, sending chills down her spine.

"Marguerite, I returned home much earlier than you could've ever imagined. My purpose was clear - to bring down Frederick, I needed someone to distract him. Coincidentally, you appeared. I saw you taking Laverne to the hospital, your relentless determination to protect your kin was exactly what I needed.

So, I called you, proposed my plan, and you willingly walked into the lion's den. And you didn't disappoint me- within just two months in the Winston family, you stirred up so much trouble."

Frederick once said that Maurice's tactics were beyond anyone's wildest imaginations.

Thus, when faced with her queries, Marguerite expected him to come up with some excuse or lie to brush them off. But to her surprise, Maurice was unsettlingly candid, revealing everything without any reservation.

Marguerite stared back at him in disbelief, "So, every move I made within the Winston family was under your control?"

"Yes." Maurice replied.

Marguerite closed her eyes in despair. She never imagined that every blunder she made at the manor, every disagreement she had with Frederick, could have been used as a weapon by Maurice against Frederick. She felt an overwhelming guilt towards Frederick.

Marguerite tried to compose herself, and when she opened her eyes, they were bloodshot.

"In that case, you should be well aware that I did nothing to betray Frederick during those two months at the manor, nor did I leak any information about the company."

Maurice scoffed at her naivety, "Marguerite, even if you just sat by his side and did nothing, I would still know everything I need to."
