Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 542

Chapter 542 

Meanwhile, in Yuna’s office. 

She slumped on the couch, utterly inebriated, her spirits dead, yet she kept pouring red wine into her mouth without a pause. 

Her eyes were bloodshot with envy, and she clenched her teeth in hatred! 

She couldn’t understand why, even though she was now a Fitzgerald heiress-a status that surely matched Frederick’s-his gaze still perpetually followed that wretch, Marguerite! 

Why would he rather slap his own face, endure public humiliation, just to openly assist Marguerite! 

He was supposed to hate Marguerite! He hated her, right? 

And the worst part was Robert! As her own brother, how could he not stand up for her?! 

Why did everyone seem to side with Marguerite! 

As Yuna brooded in indignation, the wine glass’s capacity could no longer satisfy her thirst, so she grabbed the bottle and began to guzzle it down to numb herself. 

It was at this moment Hackett walked in. He looked around at the chaotic scene, then at Yuna, reeking of alcohol on the couch, and he felt both anger and heartache. 

“What on Earth happened here?” Hackett stepped forward, towering over his daughter. 

Seeing him, Yuna quickly tried to sit up from the couch in a drunken daze, latched onto Hackett’s neck, and began to wail, “Dad! Dad! You’re finally here! They’re all bullying me! Marguerite is bullying me, Freddie too! Even my only brother is in cahoots with them! Dad! I know you don’t like me, I know you want to claim Marguerite as your daughter! It’s all my fault! 

Should I give up my heiress title to Marguerite? If I do, will they start to like me a little? I’ll do it! I’ll call Marguerite back right now!” 

Saying this, Yuna let go of Hackett and staggered towards the door. Though she was drunk, her mind was crystal clear! She had long figured out Hackett’s temper. Just a bit of coquettish pleading and playing the victim would surely soften him up! The old man’s only weakness was being a doting father to his daughter! 

After all the effort spent searching for his daughter, now that she was finally home, he would indeed do everything in his power to satisfy her! 

Sure enough, at Yuna’s plea, Hackett was infuriated! Marguerite, Marguerite! That damned woman was upsetting his daughter again! 

Hackett pulled Yuna back and made her sit on the couch again, rebuking her, “Who told

Yuna feigned a moved expression, symbolically shedding a few tears. 

“Dad! You’re the best! Only you and mom love me! I don’t ask for much, I have no 

ambitions! 

I could even give up our family’s wealth, as long as I have your love, that’s enough!”
