Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 705

Marguerite, unable to control herself, stepped forward and grabbed Yuna's shoulders, her voice tight with urgency.

"Yuna! What do you mean by that? Did you have anything to do with Penelope's death?"

"I told you no! Don't you dare try to pin this on me!"

Yuna's shrill voice made Marguerite's ears ring.

In that moment, Marguerite lost control. She slapped Yuna across the face, and the two of them broke into a furious scuffle.

Marguerite felt a burning pain on her cheek. Violet, clutching her stomach, hurried forward to intervene, shouting towards the doorway, "Someone help! Ms. Lockwood is going to strangle Marguerite! Somebody!"

In the midst of their tussle, Linda emerged, pushing Marguerite and Violet aside to shield Yuna, her voice filled with indignation.

"Marguerite! Can you stop picking on Yuna? She's so fragile right now, she can't take any more stress!"

Linda was well aware of the news that Yuna was set to inherit Poppy Petal Fragrances, which made her fearless in facing Marguerite.

"Marguerite didn't start this! Yuna was the one who came at her!" Violet immediately defended Marguerite.

"Mr. Winston isn't here, and this is how you treat Yuna? Just you wait, I'll tell Mr. Winston everything!"

"Go ahead and tattle then. We've done nothing wrong!"

Violet was unfazed, confident that they hadn't initiated the confrontation.

Linda scoffed, helping a seemingly traumatized Yuna away, muttering curses under her breath.

Marguerite, however, was still caught up in the harsh words Yuna had hurled at her, unable to shake them off.
