Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 609

As Zoe was about to drag Marguerite away, Miley's heart raced and she bolted to intercept them, "Let go of Marguerite, you witch! Lies just spill out of your mouth like water! Marguerite's been either at work or home all this time. When would she have had a second to chat with you?"

"Ms. Goldie, I know you're close with Marguerite, but this ain't the time to blindly stick up for her! Step aside, girl, don't bring trouble on yourself!"

"Zoe! You're nothing but a two-faced snake! What'd you use to call Marguerite behind her back, huh? Trash! And now, in front of the Fitzgeralds, you suddenly remember her name is Marguerite? Hypocrites! Is there even one ounce of truth in anything you say?"

Hackett glanced at Marguerite, then at the fiercely outspoken Miley. Already not fond of either, his anger now flared up, "Miley, shut up! You've bamboozled my son’s mind, and I haven’t even settled the score with you! And now you're going after Yuna too?"

Confronted by her future father-in-law, Miley clammed up instantly.

How did he know she was Robert’s girlfriend? Who spilled the beans?

But right now, this wasn't the time to dwell on that.

She wanted to be with Robert, so she didn't dare talk back to Hackett.

Seeing the tension, Penelope stepped forward to smooth things over, "Alright, enough! Everyone stop bickering. Hackett, for heaven's sake, Miley’s just a kid. Why are you being so rough on her?”

Hackett, who was well under his wife's thumb, took Penelope's words seriously.
