Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 40

In the middle of their conversation, Robert had quickly driven back to Sapphire Valley Estates.

Sadie and Chuck, along with the medical team, had been waiting at the door for quite a while. As soon as Frederick got out of the car carrying Marguerite, the nurse rushed over with the stretcher.

Frederick carefully put Marguerite on the bed, then turned to Chuck. His tone was icy. "Come with me to the study."

Chuck followed him without a word.

In a huff, Frederick lit up a cigar and commanded, "Dig into the relationship between Marguerite and the Lockwood family."

"Mr. Winston, I'm on it!" Then Chuck left at once.

Meanwhile, Frederick turned to the full-length window, slowly puffing on his cigar.

Yuna had previously denied knowing Marguerite, but things didn't seem to be as simple as that.

If she really didn't know Marguerite, then how the hell did Zoe have Marguerite's phone number?

He wasn't sure what they had talked about, but Marguerite had looked extremely agitated when she left the company. She was clearly under a huge threat.

And then she disappeared.

All this made him suspect that the Lockwood family was bullying Marguerite.

If that was the case, what the hell had Marguerite done to piss off the Lockwoods so much? They were even willing to take her life just to get rid of her.

Frederick was seething, unable to figure out why.

Out of control, he immediately dialed Yuna.

Yuna was thrilled to receive Frederick's call, but before she could even speak, Frederick threatened, "I need an explanation."

"What explanation? Freddie, I don't get what you're saying."

"Why did you hurt Marguerite?" His voice was dangerously low.

Yuna was completely taken aback, and she stuttered, unable to find her words.

Frederick's eyes narrowed. So, it was them!

At first, it was just his suspicions without any evidence, so he had to test.

He just asked one question, and Yuna's reaction said it all.

"Freddie, you must have gotten something wrong. I didn't hurt her."

Ignoring Yuna's feigned ignorance, Frederick retorted, "Do I need to spell it out for you? I found her in the warehouse at Marina Shores Village, and I've brought her home."

"Freddie." Yuna was visibly shaken.

"Yuna, I can give you everything, and I can also take it all back. If you dare to hurt my woman, you're asking for trouble!"
