Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 707

"If we can actually find something off, then I can go by the book and get a warrant to bring her in. So, until then, you've got to keep your cool, okay?" Abbey had already stretched as far as she could, and Marguerite couldn't possibly ask for more.

"Please, Ms. Abbey."

"Of course. We haven't closed Penelope's case yet; her phone's call recordings are still being retrieved. We're not wrapping things up anytime soon." Abbey paused, a look of concern washing over her as she glanced at Marguerite, then she added, "But Marguerite, if, and I mean if, it turns out Yuna is behind this, yes, she'll face consequences, but maybe not as severe as you'd think."

Marguerite was utterly baffled!

What did that mean?

If Yuna was the culprit, why shouldn't she face the fullest extent of the law?

"Why not?"

"You mentioned she's been seeing things. If she can provide a report proving she's got mental health issues, the law might go easier on her."

Marguerite was so enraged she could have screamed!

"What kind of nonsense is that? An eye for an eye, it's only fair! What does it matter if she's sane or not?"

Abbey flinched at Marguerite's words, hastily covering her mouth and whispering urgently, "Marguerite, we're at the station, keep it down!" But Marguerite's gaze suddenly fixed on something.

Mental illness?

Stella had run some neurological tests on Yuna that morning, hadn't she?

She'd know for sure if Yuna was ill!

Shrugging off Abbey's hand, Marguerite stood up. "Ms. Abbey, I think I know what to do next."

Without Stella's number, she remembered where the clinic was. So, as soon as Marguerite left the station, she hailed a cab straight to Stella.

Having visited just the day before, the receptionist assumed Marguerite had an appointment with Stella and let her through. Stella was lounging at her desk, relishing a burger when Marguerite appeared.
