Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 35

Ablett barked an order and Zoe and Yuna immediately whipped out a big plastic bag they had prepared earlier, stuffing Marguerite inside.

The ground was a mess, with Marguerite's blood stains and her dropped belongings scattered everywhere.

Yuna quickly got to picking up Marguerite's stuff, suddenly noticing a small vial of pale green perfume with a faint shimmer. She brought the vial close to her nose for a sniff, a refreshing and unique scent immediately hitting her nostrils.

Zoe nudged her, "What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and clean this mess! Get rid of her stuff!"

Yuna turned to Zoe, "Mom, this perfume actually smells really good, wonder where Marguerite got it from."

"She's dirt poor, where'd she get the money for perfume? Probably nicked it from some store, that shameless thief!"

After hearing this, Yuna's distaste for Marguerite deepened.

Shrugging her shoulders, Yuna chucked away all of Marguerite's belongings, except for the vial of perfume, which she decided to keep out of whim.

Sapphire Valley Estates.

After work, Frederick had some last-minute meetings with clients, so it was already late by the time he got home.

The villa was quiet, the servants already in bed, with only a lamp left on in the living room for Frederick.

As soon as he stepped inside, Sadie quickly donned a coat and hurried out of the servants' quarters to take Frederick's jacket.

"Mr. Winston, the chef prepared some French veal broth for you earlier, I can heat it up for you right now."

"No need." Frederick quickly ascended the stairs, suddenly stopping to ask, "Is that woman asleep?"

Sadie paused, "Do you mean the Madame?"

Hearing the term 'Madame', Frederick's gaze sharpened, then relaxed again.

He didn't correct Sadie's reference to Marguerite, merely nodding after a moment of silence, "Mhm."

Sadie looked puzzled, "Mr. Winston, the Madame isn't back yet."
