Bride Behind The Mask Novel by Frederick

Chapter 569 

Marguerite couldn’t believe what she was hearing. How could she ever say such a thing to a child? Even if she despised Yuna, she would never hurt a child! 

But when Manley told Teresa and Hayes what he believed, they couldn’t stay calm. 

Teresa looked from her mom to Frederick, her face a picture of shock. 

“Hayes’ daddy, you were married to my mom?” she asked. 

But her mom had always told her that they were just boyfriend and girlfriend. Even though she was only three years old, she knew there was a difference between dating and marriage! 

She had seen it all on TV dramas! 

Hayes was just as puzzled, looking innocently at Frederick, desperate for some clarity, “Are you… now… divorced?” 

The relentless questioning from the youngsters was enough to make Frederick’s head 

spin. 

He had always believed in Marguerite. 

But now that Manley had mentioned a marriage from three years ago, Frederick hesitated! He had never mentioned this to Manley or Hayes before. If Marguerite hadn’t deliberately revealed it, how could Manley possibly know? And for a moment, he had even doubted 

Yuna. 

But soon, that confusion vanished as quickly as it had come. Yuna was a woman so keen on the Mrs. Winston title, so how could she reveal his marriage with Marguerite? 

Especially not in front of Manley and Hayes. 

He realized he had been wrong to doubt her. 

Frederick’s anger flared, his deep eyes flashing with uncontainable fury. 

Marguerite felt the full force of his anger and resentment wound tightly around her heart. 

Suddenly on the verge of tears, she spoke with a choked voice, yet holding back, “Think what you want, I don’t mind. But for the trust you had in me yesterday, I’ll always be 

thankful.” 

“Thankful? You think you have the right to say that?” His tone was calm but terrifying. 

Upon hearing this, Yuna rushed to cling to Frederick, pressing her body against him, “Freddie, I knew you would believe our son! Marguerite is nothing but a witch, leading Maurice astray, and now she’s trying to bewitch you!

Freddie, you can’t let her get away with this! She hurt Manley, she deserves to rot in hell 

Yund’s eyes blazed with a venomous rage. But Frederick’s disappointment in Marguerite didn’t mean he was willing to give Yuna any more attention. 

Disgusted, he pushed her away and turned to order the butler, “Sadie, call the family doctor for a full examination. If anything is wrong with Manley, I will hold you responsible 

His last words were aimed directly at Marguerite, delivered with chilling precision. 

Sadie, shaken, quickly turned to call the doctor 

Marguerite faced Frederick’s gaze, defiant and honest. Even as her eyes turned red with unshed tears, she stood tall and resolute, not allowing herself to cry 

He might not trust her, which she could understand given the evidence pointing at her. It was only natural for him to be angry 

Yet, Marguerite couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of loss. 

The love she sought was not a simple exchange of affection. 

She craved a biased devotion, the kind where even if the whole world was against hep there would be one person who would stand unwaveringly by her side, providing her with strength and protection.” 

But how could Frederick offer her such devotion when he wouldn’t even admit to love? 

It seemed they were star-crossed, fated to meet but destined to part 

Marguerite withdrew her gaze and turned to leave, her disappointment palpable 

She didn’t see Yuna’s triumphant smirk behind her back. 

Fortune favors the bold, indeed! The night before, facing Maurice, she had hesitated to go through with her plan. Now, it seemed her ruthlessness had paid off! 

Sure, Maurice had been hurt, but she had regained some ground with Freddie. 

Though he hadn’t punished Marguerite immediately, the disappointment was there, and he needed time. That’s okay! Once Freddie’s anger cooled, Marguerite would be finished! 

Yuna thought to herself, smiling with malicious glee, oblivious to the pain Maurice was suffering behind her…
