Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 594

Marguerite was flabbergasted, unable to comprehend how the tide of blame had suddenly turned to crash over her head. In her view, Yuna's accusations were baseless!

Yet, infuriatingly, Yuna's wild guess had found favor with most of the people present.

Several clueless servants started gossiping anew.

“Holy smokes! Did Ms. Marguerite poison Manley?”

“It has to be her! There’s no other explanation! Manley’s inner circle is small, and Ms. Marguerite had the motive!”

“I bet Ms. Marguerite didn’t just poison him; she must have hurt him too!”

“And how! Explain to me how a three-year-old kid, even in a delirium, could get such severe injuries from just bumping into things!”

The chatter penetrated Marguerite’s ears, leaving her feeling both helpless and frustrated.

That’s how rumors spread like wildfire. One person starts the tale, and by the time it's been passed around, the story has morphed beyond recognition.

So, in their eyes, she had become the wicked witch.

Yuna, quite pleased with the situation, was careful not to show it too openly. She had to maintain the image of the victim!

So, with teary eyes, she looked at Marguerite, then turned her pitiful gaze to Frederick, and asked with a quivering voice, “Freddie, can't you see the truth yet?”

Frederick's eyes were ice as he locked his gaze on her and countered, “You expect me to trust a web of lies?”

Yuna was taken aback, her insides churning with discomfort. But she quickly regrouped, her voice whiny and desperate, “Freddie, you think I lied, fine, I'll own it. But the crowd sees clearly! Didn’t you hear their discussion?

They're saying Marguerite poisoned Manley and even hit him! My heart aches as a mother; how could I bear this?”
