Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 416

Everyone around the table froze, their brains took a full minute to process Teresa's words.

She just called Frederick a liar, this was a blow to his ego, wasn't it?

At that moment, Chuck could feel his hands getting sweaty from the tension, almost silently sent his condolences to Teresa.

It wasn't for nothing that Teresa was Marguerite's daughter! The only ones who'd dare to step on Mr. Winston's toes like that were these two people. No one else would even dare.

But this little princess wanting a star from the sky did put Mr. Winston in a bit of a pickle.

Even though Mr. Winston was a big-shot, he was still human. How could he possibly get a star from the sky for her?

Just as everyone was trying to figure out how to diffuse the situation, a confident male voice cut through the silence, "I can set up a research team for you. As soon as they discover a new asteroid, we will name it after you."

The room was silent.

Frederick's move was unexpected!

After all, naming an asteroid was a permanent honor, internationally recognized.

Teresa was stunned by Frederick's proposition.

Hayes’ daddy was really going to name an asteroid after her? Was he really willing to do so much for her? So, did this mean he truly... truly cared for her?

As Teresa pondered this, a smug smile began to play on her lips, "I want the star, but there's something else I want!" Teresa looked at Frederick, her eyes filled with a hint of avarice.

Seeing Teresa's happiness, Frederick's brow softened a bit, "Go on."

Teresa remembered the plan she had discussed with her godparents, and seized the opportunity, "My mommy is unemployed, I want her to work at your company!"

Frederick was taken aback for a moment, then chided lightly, "Greedy!"
