By the time Yuna bolted out, Marguerite was already gone.
She looked around and saw a hot guy approaching her.-
The guy was decked out in a black and white striped suit, poker-faced, with a resilient aura in his features.
Her eyes widened at his handsome face and she stood rooted to the ground, captivated.
Suddenly, Hanley grabbed her wrist from behind and yanked her into his arms.
"Yuna, you're not getting away! You promised to be with me last night. Does your family really have 10 million to give me?"
Yuna struggled, "Mr. Hanley, I told you, it's none of my business. You should go find..."
"Pah! Your sister ran away, you think you can escape, too? We agreed it was you who would be with me! Where were you last night?"
The one who should have been with Hanley last night indeed was Yuna. But Zoe and Ablett couldn't stand their daughter being mistreated and came up with a plan.
Since Marguerite and Yuna looked identical, they decided to let the less favored Marguerite to take her place.
Who knew, Marguerite got the hotel rooms mixed up!
"Mr. Hanley, let me go!" Yuna struggled hard. The sight of this greasy man made her sick.
But Hanley wouldn't listen and even planted a kiss on Yuna's face.
Yuna was helpless, she could only scream, "Hanley, don't touch me! Let's talk this out! Mom, Dad, come save me..."
Suddenly, there was a loud thud. Hanley's head was struck and he fell to the ground.
Yuna was stunned. She looked up at the handsome man in front of her, feeling extremely nervous.
Oh my God, he's so handsome! So strong!
She was about to lose her balance, Chuck quickly stepped forward to steady her, "Miss, are you okay?"
Yuna mechanically shook her head, "I... I'm fine."
Chuck glanced at Frederick, then asked, "Miss, were you in room 1205 of Regal Haven Hotel last night?"
Last night? It was Marguerite who went to the Regal Haven Hotel last night!
Could it be, the man Marguerite was with, is this man?
Before she could respond, Hanley on the ground started cursing, "You sneaky Yuna, I knew there was a reason you didn't show last night. You found yourself a new sugar daddy!"
A cold glint flashed across Frederick's eyes.
The woman from last night, it was indeed her.
But what's her relationship with the man on the ground? Why was she supposed to be with him?
Frederick glanced at Chuck, who stepped forward and stomped on Hanley's face.
"Shut up! How dare you disrespect Mr. Winston!"
Mr. Winston?
Who else could it be, but the highly capable and influential Frederick, who would dare to call himself "Mr. Winston" in the whole of Stonebridge City?
So, the man in front of her was... was...
This shocking realization made Yuna feel a mix of shock and envy.
Damn Marguerite, how on earth did she manage to sleep with Frederick?
Seeing Yuna's shocked expression, Frederick calmly took out the sapphire necklace from his pocket and asked her, "Is this necklace yours?"
Yuna recognized it as Marguerite's necklace at a glance, but she wasn't sure if she should admit it.
After all, Marguerite got involved with Frederick out of nowhere. For someone of his status, he must hate being used by women. He must be furious right now, right?
If she admitted it, would his anger blow over to her?
Yuna felt torn. Zoe quickly came to her senses, snatched the necklace and said, "Sir, this is indeed Yuna's. She's been wearing it for 22 years! I thought she lost it, turns out it's with you."
Frederick looked up at Yuna, "Do you remember who I am?"
Yuna looked confused, "Aren't you Mr. Winston, Frederick?"
"I'm not talking about that." Frederick frowned, "Do you remember, 15 years ago, you gave me a piece of bread. You saved me, do you remember that?"
