Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 399

The provocative flames roared like a wildfire, and in the depths of both their eyes, seemed to be a line of fire crackling and burning relentlessly.

Robert had never lost his temper with Frederick. He knew that despite being a business prodigy, Frederick was as naive as a child when it came to emotions. That's why he kept trying to match him with Marguerite, tolerating his temper time and time again.

But what he never expected was that one day, Frederick would question the nature of his relationship with Marguerite!

At this moment, Robert felt that Frederick's sense of reason had gone missing. He found the man utterly absurd, "Can you stop acting weird about me and Marguerite?"

This was a tone of almost begging frustration.

Frederick froze for a moment, for he had never heard Robert speak to him with such a tone. And it seemed like he realized that his anger-fueled words had indeed crossed a line.

Robert also felt odd about Marguerite. Three years ago, he was kind to Marguerite out of respect for Frederick. But gradually, he realized that his feelings for Marguerite were not just as a friend's wife, but something more profound. However, this emotion was definitely not love.

He genuinely wished that Marguerite could end up with Frederick, his best friend.

Conflicts between men usually come and go quickly. After they both regained their composure, Robert sighed and paused before explaining again, "Today, I called Marguerite over because I needed Polar Radiance for your treatment."

"The company was hacked, causing nearly billions of losses. The tech department traced it back to a hacker who had connections with Maurice. Marguerite had been in charge of the suburban projects and was the most likely to be in collusion."

Robert was incredulous and retorted, "Frederick, do you really think a woman who uses exhaust fans to remove formaldehyde has the capability to do this?"

"The day before the incident, Maurice sold off LuxeScents International. But you told me Marguerite had been working there."

Robert was shocked because he was the one who bought LuxeScents International!

He was trying to bring Marguerite into Thunderbolt Enterprises so she and Frederick could rekindle their relationship! Who would have thought that Frederick, being so sensitive and suspicious, would turn this into a suspicion against Marguerite?
