Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1607

"You may be able to fool others with this sort of excuse, but you'll need a better one to fool me. Tell me the truth. Now."

Lena was one who would act ruthlessly. She picked up a pen and warned, "If you don't tell us the truth, I'll poke a few holes in your face."

Hearing that, shock flashed in Frida's eyes, "How dare you?"

"What do you think?"

With that, she slowly drew the pen close to Frida's face, and Hailey, frightened by her action, reached out to stop Lena.

"Maybe we should leave her face alone. If other people see it..."

"So what? If we don't injure her face, she won't learn her lesson."

Lena sneered, "I'll give you one last chance. Tell me the truth, or you can say goodbye to your pretty face. You don't want people to think it's horrendous, don't you?"

Frida could tell she wasn't joking at all. If she really kept her mouth shut, Lena would most certainly stab her face.

She couldn't believe there were such vicious people in this world. Of all people, why her? Why was she the only one bullied?

Frida was execrated, but there was nothing she could do.

She gritted her teeth as she bit the bullet. "I'll say it. You win."

"Say it."

"There's a boy she likes, so she decided to lose weight to be a better version of herself."

Even so, Frida did not tell them who Mashauva had feelings for, but, at least, she told them the reason. She thought Lena and Hailey would let her go with that. However, they didn't.

Lena was somewhat surprised at first but thought the answer was much more credible than before.

"You hear that, Hailey? That fatty has someone she likes."

Hailey sneered, "I was wondering why she suddenly decided to lose weight. Seems like someone has fallen in love. A fatty like her won't look good even if she loses her weight, will she?"

Lena threw the pen aside and patted Frida's cheek, "Why didn't you say so earlier? Don't tell me you actually think of her as your best friend. What's so hard about saying this?"

With that, Hailey loosened her grip, and Frida finally regained freedom. She laid slumped on the table, panting. Her face was numb from the pain, and she wondered how badly it was injured.

She would have to head to the infirmary later.

Fortunately, they did not probe into it, or she might actually yield.

After Lena got the answer she wanted, she looked at Hailey with satisfaction and was ready to leave.

But just as she was about to, she had an epiphany and stopped abruptly in her tracks.

As soon as Lena paused, Frida's heart skipped a beat.

She wasn't planning on questioning more, was she? Frida could almost imagine how Lena and Hailey would react if they found out Mashauva and Bruno were not biologically related.

Surely Mashauva would be their next target to bully.

Therefore she'd rather not say anything if possible.

Don't turn around, don't turn around.

Frida prayed in her heart.

However, God did not listen to her prayers.

Lena turned around and squinted her eyes more so, emanating a vicious aura as she fixed her piercing gaze on Frida.

"If it's such a simple answer, why didn't you just say it in the first place?"

It wasn't a sin to fall in love, so what was there to hide? Unless what Frida was trying to conceal was who but not why.

"Who is it?"

"What's wrong?" Hailey asked; the doubt didn't come to her. But she could tell something was amiss from Lena's serious look, so she asked as she couldn't put a finger as to why.

Lena snorted.
