Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 34

Now this is a head-scratcher, how did Marguerite's grandma's medical records end up in her mom's hands?

Just as Marguerite was lost in thought, another text from Zoe buzzed in.

The text was an address, along with a nasty jab, "If you don't wanna come grab your grandma's medical records, that's on you. It's not like we're gonna lose sleep over whether she kicks the bucket or not."

Marguerite's fingers clenched tightly around her phone.

She could stomach insults from Zoe, but for her to say such a thing about her seriously ill grandma? What kind of human being does that?

For the sake of her grandma's wellbeing, Marguerite had no choice but to duck out of work and dash off to Zoe's given address.

She knew she was about to walk into a storm of scolding, but hell, her grandma was the only family she had left, she couldn't choose not to go.

An hour later, she hopped off the bus at a swanky residential area called "Diamond Crest Estates".

Marguerite got off the bus, entered the neighborhood, found the house number and knocked on the door.

The door swung open, and Yuna, sizing up Marguerite's plain-Jane outfit, didn't bother hiding her disdain, her eyes dripping with arrogance.

"Marguerite, are you moonlighting behind Frederick's back? Dressed like this and you have the gall to come to Diamond Crest Estates? How the hell did you get past security?"

Marguerite replied with a poker face, "I'm just here to pick up grandma's medical records, then I'll be on my way."

Ablett and Zoe were sipping coffee in the living room. Zoe glanced at the door and haughtily said, "Let her in."

Yuna yanked Marguerite inside, then gave her a hard shove. "Get in and knock off the 'woe is me' act, will ya?"

Even though she was shoved, Marguerite didn't bother. She straightened her back and headed for the living room.

Watching Marguerite's resilience, Yuna was overly smug. "Marguerite, you see this? This place is something you could never afford in a million years, but here I am, living in it. You know why? Because Frederick loves me. He bought this house for me and my name's on the deed."

Marguerite calmly stared at Yuna's smug face, "No matter how much he loves you, you're still just a mistress. As long as I don't divorce him, you'll never be a part of the Winston family."

"YOU!" Yuna was so angry her eyes turned red.

"Give me grandma's medical records now."

Marguerite ignored Yuna and turned to face Zoe and Ablett.

But the moment she turned her head, Zoe's palm landed hard on her cheek.

"You shameless ingrate! Our family went bankrupt because of you, and now you're trying to steal your sister's husband!"

Zoe pointed at Marguerite, almost poking her in the eye.

"You dare to steal from your sister? You must be out of your mind! If we knew you were so conniving, we should have let you die at birth!"

Feeling that cursing at Marguerite wasn't enough, Zoe shoved her to the ground.

"I didn't steal her bracelet! I didn't!"
