Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 423

Marrying on the same day? Marguerite was utterly baffled.

Weren't they discussing things about the corporation? How did it suddenly veer onto marriage?

Marguerite had always been insightful. She could see that Powell was trying to curry favor with Frederick, but his approach was off, making Frederick even more resistant.

Setting aside the idea of a corporate merger, merely the notion of both brothers getting married on the same day made Marguerite think Powell had lost his marbles.

The incident she had with the Winston Group brothers was a hot topic in high society.

Moreover, she and Yuna were identical twins. If they really have the weddings on the same day, people might have unpleasant things to say. What’s more, she could never marry Maurice!

Just as Marguerite was about to refuse, Yuna on the opposite side nodded eagerly and agreed, "Alright, alright, I have no objections!"

Lisette rolled her eyes at Yuna in disgust, then cast a contemptuous glance at Marguerite, mockingly saying, " They look exactly alike, who would know who's marrying who? I think you just want to stir up more drama!"

At this point, Maurice gently took Marguerite's hand and said calmly, "We don't have do it together. However, Marguerite and I do have plans to get married. The wedding will be as soon as next month."

Frederick paused in swirling his wine glass, his gaze fixated on Maurice holding Marguerite's hand.

A tiny jolt of panic hit Marguerite's heart. She was afraid that Frederick would misunderstand and instinctively pulled her hand from Maurice's.

Damn it! He did it on purpose!

He knew she wouldn't marry him, and now he's using the family's power to pressure her?

Marguerite was extremely displeased, but before she could deny it, she heard Lisette's furious voice, "Did you ever ask for my opinion before deciding to marry Marguerite? How could you reject a wealthy heiress for some slut who's seduced you?"

A slut? Even with Marguerite's usually calm demeanor, she couldn't hold back anymore.

"I didn't seduce him. Your son insisted on marrying me. Since you're not happy about it, it's perfect. I can reject him outright."

Upon hearing this, Frederick arched his eyebrows, silently putting down his silver fork, and watched Marguerite with a relaxed posture.
