Captive Hearts: The Tycoon's Ugly Bride novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4 Face

"Mr. Herbart, Mrs. Herbart's face..."

Blanche's heart skipped a beat because she thought her lie would be exposed. She hurriedly lowered her head, picked up the mask, put it on, and grabbed the servant's hand.

"Don't blame her. I scared her when taking off the mask."

"No, you did not scare me. It's..."

Before finishing speaking, the servant felt a sharp pain in her hand. It was because Blanche had pinched her hard out of desperation.

"Mrs. Herbart..."

The servant blankly stared at her, wondering why she didn't let her tell the truth.

Blanche patted her on the back and comforted her, saying, "Don't be afraid. I'll wear a mask all the time. Don't worry. I won't scare you again."

The servant kept her mouth open because she couldn't close it. She did not understand why Mrs. Herbart was telling such a lie.

Seeing the weird scene, Louis pondered for a moment and frowned, "Since you know how ugly you are, you should cover your face well! Don't show it to people to disgrace me."

Although he maintained a calm face, he felt chills down his spine. Since Blanche's face had made the servants scream in fright, she must be extremely ugly!

Blanche breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he believed it.

Louis soon turned around and went downstairs. He didn't even want to go into the bedroom after such an incident.

"Mrs. Herbart, your face has no scars at all. Why are you wearing a mask?"

Blanche sized the servant up. The girl had an immature face and seemed in her early twenties. Her eyes looked clear, so Blanche did not think she would stir up trouble.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Clara."

"Clara, please don't tell anyone about it. I have my reasons for doing this. If you keep the secret, I will return your favor."

"Well, OK," Clara nodded with difficulty.

After Clara went out with the tableware, Blanche picked up her phone and found her best friend Erin had sent her a text message.

"Blanche, are you still alive? Has the Herbart family torn you apart?"
