Marguerite stood stunned. Although she deeply loved Frederick, it did not mean she would compromise without boundaries.
Marguerite turned her head calmly towards Frederick and said, "Apologize? You kidnapped my daughter, so the one who should be apologizing is you."
Teresa was stunned. Oops, it seems mommy misunderstood! What could she do?
"Kidnapped?" Frederick raised an eyebrow, almost amused by Marguerite's accusation, "Your daughter was brought here in a luxury car by my people. You're welcome to ask her how I've been treating her."
Marguerite pulled Teresa into her arms, her voice soft but firm, "Sweetheart, tell mommy, did he bully you? Don't worry, mommy will protect you. I won't let anyone hurt you."
Frederick was speechless. Bully? Hurt? Marguerite's wording was quite intriguing.
Such a suggestive question, it was as if she was about to label him as a "bad guy" directly!
But Frederick was not in a hurry, because how well he treated Teresa was obvious to all.
Although this little one had no blood relation to him, he truly adored her.
Children don't lie, so he's simply waiting for Teresa to set the record straight with Marguerite.
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Teresa.
Jocelyn picked up Hayes and walked over, as Robert also watched with interest.
Feeling like a deer in the headlights, Teresa stammered, "Hayes' daddy...Hayes' daddy he......"
"What about Hayes' daddy?" Jocelyn quickly asked.
As if she had made up her mind, the little girl suddenly became righteous.
Pointing at Frederick, she said, "Hayes' daddy is a big villain, he's a cheater!"
Everyone was shocked and confused.
How could a three-year-old understand what cheater represents? Such surprising words from such a young age!
Robert was taken aback, almost bursting into laughter, quickly asked, "Little girl, why do you say he's a cheater?"
