Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 730

Chuck scratched his ear, unfazed by the gunfire outside, but Marguerite Lockwood's scream had indeed caught him off guard.

"Marguerite, relax. It's just a firecracker, really small potatoes. Mr. Winston won't let anything happen to you."

A firecracker?

Chuck's attempt at reassurance only made Marguerite's skin crawl.

"Can you please just tell me what's going on?"

Chuck quickly poured Marguerite a cup of tea, hoping it would calm her nerves, then he started, looking somewhat troubled:

"Marguerite, you might not be aware, but Mr. Winston was ambushed right after he got off the plane this morning. He was almost hurt. Luckily, Chief Tunez from the Tunez Tribe was there to back him up.

The firecracker that was just set off, well, Mr. Winston wanted to test its power, and also to scare off any potential ambushers lurking around."

"Ambushed?"

Marguerite's eyes filled with wariness, her lips pressed tightly together.

Frederick Winston ambushed as soon as he went abroad?

Could it be that his influence had grown so vast that so many were watching him like hawks?

"Yes, ambushed. But we still haven't figured out who is behind it. We're not sure if they were targeting Mr. Winston or the Chief's territory.

That's why there was a special check when you came in. Normally, it wouldn't be so strict."

Marguerite drained her cup of tea in one gulp, her heart still pounding uncontrollably.

"Take me to Frederick!"

"I'm sorry, Marguerite," Chuck glanced at his watch, "At this time, Mr. Winston is probably having dinner with the Chief and his wife."

Marguerite frowned in confusion.

He was ambushed, and this man still has the leisure to sit down for dinner?
