Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 616

Dusk settled in, draping the city in a veil of twilight as the streetlights flickered to life.

Nestled in a window seat at the Bluebell Bistro, Marguerite and Miley had a panoramic view of the city's glittering nightlife.

Opposite them sat Frederick and Robert, two dashing figures whose eyes were lowered as if the array of succulent dishes before them had lost all flavor.

The recent paternity test results had left Frederick and Robert in utter disbelief.

Meanwhile, Yuna, upon learning her true heritage, could barely contain her elation. She carried the esteemed Fitzgerald bloodline, she was the real heiress of the Fitzgerald clan.

No longer fearing her true identity would be uncovered, she was emboldened and convinced that she and Frederick were a match made in heaven, a perfect pairing of equals.

With brimming confidence, she turned to Hackett and Penelope—not so subtly addressing Frederick, "Mom, Dad, I've redone the paternity test as Robert suggested. I am truly your daughter. So, shouldn't we start planning my and Frederick's engagement?"

She was intent on leveraging the influence of the Fitzgerald elders to corner Frederick.

But before her parents could respond, Frederick, with Marguerite in tow, had already made a swift exit under the watchful eyes of the crowd, not even deigning to acknowledge the situation.

And soon, the group of four found themselves at the Bluebell Bistro.

Marguerite, propping her chin in her hands, gazed at Frederick with eyes as deep and stirring as a lake, her confusion apparent.
