Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 568

Chapter 568 

Frederick’s eyes were icy with bloodlust. “Out with it! No beating around the bush!” 

The servant shivered with fright, “I found Manley shaken up, huddled in the corner trembling…” 

Before he could finish, several other servants who couldn’t stand by idly anymore began to chime in. 

“No way! Manley was actually hit by Ms. Marguerite? The child’s only three, how could she lay a hand on him? That’s too much!” 

“Who knows! Ms. Marguerite must’ve had it in for Ms. Yuna for ages! Since she couldn’t take her out, she took the chance to strike at her kid!”

while Master Manley kept on muttering, ‘Auntie Marguerite, please don’t hit me, don’t hit 

me…” 

” 

Frederick’s frosty gaze suddenly contorted with disbelief as he turned to Marguerite. 

Even if Marguerite wished to remain silent, she had to clarify her stance in that moment, “I did go to Manley’s room last night, but it was only to bring him a toy. Nothing else happened.”
