Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 595

Upon hearing those words, Yuna's entire demeanor shifted, her reaction as explosive as a startled alley cat with its fur standing on end.

“Hold on a sec, Sadie, what are you implying? You’re not trying to shift the blame on me, are you? Are you saying that I drugged my own son?”

Her reaction was so over the top that to Sadie, it screamed guilty conscience.

But Sadie couldn’t be too blunt. For starters, she lacked evidence. Secondly, she was just a maid, hardly in a position to take on the Fitzgeralds.

That’s when Marguerite, who had been silent until then, stepped out from behind Frederick and asked a question in the calmest tone - a question that sent shivers down Yuna’s spine.

“Sadie just mentioned you were in the kitchen, but she didn’t say you poisoned anyone. Why so quick to defend yourself?”

Yuna felt her heart leap into her throat, scrambling for a reason, any excuse, and all she could muster was a hysterical retort aimed at Marguerite, “Shut it, Marguerite! What’s it to you, anyway?”

“You're slinging mud my way and then asking what’s it to me? Yuna, you sure have a talent for talking your way out of anything. But since you’ve decided to drag me into this, let’s set the record straight. Tell me, why were you in the kitchen two days ago?”

Cornered by the direct confrontation, Yuna couldn’t mask her panic.

She knew there was no dodging the bullet today!

What had she told Sadie again?
