Teresa had just stepped into the mansion, leaving the front door slightly ajar.
As Marguerite walked in, she immediately spotted Janie, who was waiting for Maurice.
Back when Maurice was still known as Steven, Janie was his medical assistant.
Upon Maurice revealing his identity and taking over the Winston Group, it was only natural that Janie would become his personal assistant.
Witnessing all of Maurice's dirty deeds, Marguerite naturally had no good impression of her.
"Madam, I'm here to see Mr. Winston."
Marguerite did not respond, silently moving past Janie and heading towards the staircase.
At this moment, Maurice entered the house. Seeing this, Janie immediately reported, "Mr. Winston, Fre..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Maurice quickly shot Janie a look. His gaze fell on Marguerite's retreating figure, then he lowered his eyes and voice, whispering with Janie.
Marguerite stood by the staircase.
Had Janie been about to say "Frederick"? But she hadn't heard anything. Were they planning to do something to Frederick again?
But weren't Frederick and Maurice currently partners? Their secretive behavior was suspicious.
Marguerite shook her head, deciding not to dwell on it. After all, it was a matter between the brothers. She couldn't interfere.
Meanwhile, at Sapphire Valley Estates.
Snow began to fall outside the study window. It wasn't heavy, but it carried a hint of chill.
Frederick, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window with a lit cigar, blended his silhouette with the snowy scenery, creating a lonely atmosphere.
His handsome figure was accentuated by the thought of Marguerite appearing in the restaurant, Maurice peeling shrimp for her and putting his jacket on her. His heart was more restless than ever. But he didn't believe it was love, just nauseating!
"Has the formaldehyde removal begun?" He suddenly asked in a cold voice.
Chuck quickly responded, "Yes, Marguerite has been on the site for the past few days."
