Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 91

Frederick's icy demeanor was as chilling as the Arctic, leaving one feeling frozen all over.

Marguerite stared at the towering man in front of her, her heart filled with desolation.

Being forgotten by a loved one was the cruelest cut of all. So it didn't matter whether Frederick believed her or not.

"I don't owe you an explanation."

Frederick's eyes were ablaze, the fury boiling in them, "Marguerite! You dare to talk back to me?"

He practically roared, a vein popping out on his forehead, startling everyone.

"Kid, can you tone it down? You're scaring the bejesus out of this old lady. My heart's pounding like a jackhammer, and I can't catch my breath."

Laverne was all dramatic, and her eyes widened as saucers, looking utterly startled.

Frederick shot a venomous glare at Marguerite before lowering his voice, "I'll deal with you later."

Then his anger vanished, he turned to Laverne apologetically, "I'm sorry, grandma. Are you feeling alright?"

Laverne gave Marguerite a sly glance, then shook her head at Yuna, "Yuna, who's this handsome young man?"

Yuna blushed, her doe eyes all sparkling, "Grandma, this is Freddie, my boyfriend."

"Really? Your boyfriend!" Laverne was grinning from ear to ear, "Yuna's dating! How lovely!"

"Yep, it's been a while."

Listening to their chatter, Zoe assessed Laverne's reactions to ensure she had truly lost her memory. Then she leaned onto Ablett's shoulder, letting out a long sigh.

The couple exchanged a knowing glance, their sentiments unspoken.

It had been a roller-coaster day, nearly dragged into the gutter by that villain Marguerite.

But luckily, Laverne had amnesia. So what if Marguerite was eloquent?

Even her grandma was against her now, let's see how she dealt with that.

But they couldn't let their guard down.

After all, they didn't know how long Laverne's amnesia would last. But one thing was certain, they couldn't let that villain Marguerite anywhere near Laverne.

That woman was a sly fox. If she found a way to restore Laverne's memory, they'd be done for.
