Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 392

Marguerite was so stunned by the sudden news that she didn't even have time to bid Frederick goodbye, instead rushing out in a blind panic.

Frederick's eyebrows knitted together in confusion as he instinctively moved to the window, quickly spotting Marguerite hailing a cab and speeding off away from the construction site.

Chuck re-entered the scene at that moment, "Mr. Winston, Marguerite just left. Should we continue the work upstairs?"

"Continue."

"Yes, Mr. Winston!"

As Chuck turned to go relay the command, Frederick's commanding voice echoed once again, "Wait."

"Mr. Winston, do you need anything else?"

Frederick paused momentarily, then asked in a neutral tone, "What's going on with her?"

Her? Was Mr. Winston referring to Marguerite?

"I just heard that Maurice sold LuxeScents International. Marguerite probably just found out about it and is rushing back."

Frederick's eyes clouded over with an emotion Chuck couldn't decipher.

Could it be that there was some rekindled romance between Mr. Winston and Marguerite?

Seizing the opportunity, Chuck decided to push further. He feigned sympathy, "Ah, I didn't expect Marguerite to care so much. You were gone for three years, and she stayed in the company the whole time. It hasn't been easy for her. Mr. Winston, aren't you going to help her?"

Chuck meant to support her, but his words only seemed to further agitate Frederick.

"Don’t you have nothing better to do?"

Chuck stuttered under Frederick's intense glare, "I...I just feel bad for Marguerite, because she's about to lose her job."

Frederick scoffed, his lips curling into a cruel grin, "She deserves it!"

Chuck was confused. Was Mr. Winston still holding a grudge against Marguerite? Then what was going on earlier? Even if Marguerite initiated it, but Mr. Winston didn't push her away!

Now, even the long-time associate Chuck was thoroughly confused about Frederick's feelings.

Half an hour later, at LuxeScents International.

As soon as Marguerite got off the cab, she ran towards the CEO's office. Just as she got off the elevator, she saw Maurice and a stranger poring over a contract.

The stranger was about to sign his name with a pen he pulled from his pocket.

Marguerite rushed forward to stop him, but it was too late.

The moment she burst into the CEO's office, the stranger had just signed his name.
