Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 393

Wade had barely stepped out of the headquarters of LuxeScents International when he dialed Robert's number. "Mr. Fitzgerald, the company takeover is complete."

"Already? That was quick."

Wade lit up a cigarette on the sidewalk, "I bet Maurice was itching to offload LuxeScents International. The moment I approached him, he practically jumped at the offer."

"Have you signed the contract?"

"Signed and sealed. The funds have all been transferred."

Robert was unable to hide his excitement, "Good job."

However, Wade was still curious about Robert's intentions, "Tell me, Mr. Fitzgerald, why did you buy Marguerite's company? Isn't Marguerite Mr. Winston's ex-wife?"

"That's none of your concern. Just keep quiet about my involvement. Maurice can't know I'm behind this purchase. Gotta go."

Just as Robert was about to hang up the phone, Wade interjected, "Hold up, hold up. There's some juicy gossip I need to share. As I was leaving, I overheard Maurice talking about marrying Marguerite. He seemed quite adamant. It looks like he's going to make her an offer she can't refuse. Isn't it strange? Didn't Marguerite run to Maurice after Frederick left the country? Why haven't they married yet?"

Upon hearing this, Robert was instantly incensed, even his usually calm demeanor couldn't keep him from swearing, "That's bullshit! Who said Marguerite ran to Maurice?"

Wade was taken aback, "That's the word around town!"

"That's just Maurice's fucking wishful thinking. He's planning a wedding? Over my dead body. Gotta go." Robert angrily ended the call, leaving Miley Goldie, who was beside him, in shock.

She quickly tried to soothe him, "Don't worry, there's no way Marguerite would marry Maurice."

Robert calmed down, but he was clearly conflicted, "Do you think it's right, what we're doing, buying Marguerite's company?"

Miley reassured him, "I think it's a good idea. Once Marguerite is out of work, she'll have to find a new job. That's when you can get her a position at Frederick's company."

"What if Maurice offers her a job at his company?"
