Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 30

When Chuck went downstairs to find Marguerite, his co-workers deliberately lied that she was slacking off, probably somewhere sneaking in a nap.

Upon hearing this, Frederick was livid, he dialed Marguerite loads of times, but she didn't pick up.

After a while, he found out from Yuna that Marguerite had been taken to the police for theft.

He stormed into the station with anger boiling inside him, but the moment he saw Marguerite's pitiful face, he found himself unable to express his displeasure.

He even felt a pang of sympathy.

However, when Frederick asked three questions in a row, Marguerite seemed totally clueless.

"I ask you, who locked you up?" Frederick's cold voice echoed again.

Marguerite lifted her head, her gaze fell on Yuna standing behind him.

Frederick frowned at Yuna behind him, "What’s going on?"

Yuna didn’t seem to care. She originally hoped Frederick would support her, but he didn’t even glance at her when he walked in.

Now she finally got her chance, she played victim and exaggerated, "Frederick, she stole my bracelet and was brought in by passers-by. I told them it wasn’t necessary to make a fuss, but they didn’t want me to be wronged. I had no choice but to come here with them."

Yuna was really something, so good at twisting the truth.

Marguerite sighed and looked at Frederick, though she knew he didn’t believe her, she insisted on explaining in a soft voice, "I didn't steal..."

"But, my bracelet was indeed found in your bag." Yuna looked pitifully innocent, biting her lower lip, looking very appealing.

By then, Robert had already sent the passers-by away, and walked to the detention area with the officer.

Frederick's eyes showed a layer of coldness, looking at the officer, he ordered coldly, "Open the door."

The officer looked at Frederick somewhat awkwardly, "Mr. Winston, what is your relationship with this lady?"

"She is my..."

"Employee! I am his employee!" Marguerite unintentionally interrupted him without hearing what Frederick was saying.

They had previously agreed that he wouldn't let her disclose their relationship in public, Marguerite remembered.

Frederick didn't finish what he wanted to say, a flicker of indiscernible darkness passed through his eyes, leaving everyone clueless about what he was thinking.

Yuna, on the other hand, was gobsmacked.

Marguerite was Frederick's employee?

So, they not only live together, they also work together?

Suddenly, she felt tense all over.
