Chapter 154
Bride Behind The Mask
Marguerite was left in a daze by a sudden smack to the face Clutching her throbbing cheek, she finally saw who had hit her Ables and Zoe Rage swept over hes like a storm. The fire in Margueriteâs eyes was burning brightly, ready to scorch the duo into ashes.
How dare you? Who gave you the right to clare at your mother like that?â Zoe demanded, bristling with anger.
Youâre not my mom anymore, Marguerite shot back.
âHow dare you talk back to me? You need a lesson!â
As Zoe raised her hand again to sinke Marguerite, she swiftly dodged, leaving Zoe to lash out at thin air, which only made her angrier It wasnât that Marguerite didnât want to fight back. It was just she didnât want to give Zoe an excuse to complain as a customer and put her job at nisk Seeing this, Ablett grabbed Marguerite by the collar from behind and threw her into a corner of the alley They were here to make Marguerite put on a mask. This place was teeming with people, if Marguerite put on the mask in public, word could get back to Mr.
Winston âYouâve gone too far! Iâve already cut ties with you and left the mansion. Whether I wear a mask or not is my decision!â
Marguente stumbled a few steps before regaining her balance, being in the shadows, she had nothing to fear âYour decision? What right do you have to make decisions? Donât want to wear the mask? Fine! Then get out of Stonebridge City, the farther the better, and donât let us see you againâ
Marguerite scoffed, âWant me to leave? Alright! Give me some money to live on, and Iâll go!â
Even though Marguerite didnât know why the Lockwoods were so desperate to get rid of her, she did know that nothing comes without a price So, she decided not to make things easy for them.
Upon hearing this, Zoeâs eyes bulged, âYouâre asking me for money? I gave you life, and not asking for anything in return is already a mercy! What right do you have to ask us for anything?â
Then donât expect me to leave!â Marguerite said, resisting the urge to lash out, her voice firm and strong âYouâ¦â Zoe was too angry to speak.
In the tense atmosphere, Ablett shoved Marguerite and threw a brand new mask onto her face.
âIf you insist on staying, then wear the mask. Stop wasting our time, we donât want to argue with you.â
The mask lightly hit Margueriteâs face, but her heart ached as if it had been cut by a knife.
Even though she had long given up hope on the couple, every time they treated her like an animal, her heart still hurt.
She never experienced any love despite having parents She was in so much pain!
âMarguerite, just a reminder, your grandmother is still living in the mansion! Now Yuna and Mr. Winston are together, they can come and go from the mansion without any formalities. If we wanted to make trouble for your grandmother, it would be too easy!â
Damn it!
They were threatening her with her grandmother again!
Her grandmother was the light in her heart, and she had to protect her grandmother!
Shaking. Marguente picked up the mask from the ground and put it on, clutching it tightly, âHow long do I have to wear this mask?â
Zoe sneered, âUntil the day you die! Bitch!
Marguerite leaned against the wall, feeling weak. Seeing her powerless to fight back, the couple left triumphantly With the mask on, Marguente couldnât keep her job Lily wouldnât want an ugly woman working here.
Marguente had to cover her face, return to the break room, change into her regular clothes under the pretense of quitting, and then rush back to her apartment.
When Miley saw Marquentes hideous face again, she frowned in displeasure, âWhy did you put your mask on again?â
âZoe care to the bar to find me and we had a big fight. I had to put it back on for my grandmaâ
That evil woman threatened you with your grandma again?â
Marguerite collapsed onto the sofa and silently sipped her water. âYesâ
Miley rolled her eyes in frustration, ran into the bedroom and pulled out a photo to give to Marquente, âWe need to figure out whatâs going on Luckily, an online friend has restored the photo, take a look Marquente took the photo and it was much clearer than before âThe man has his back to the camera. Iâve looked at it all day and still canât tell who it is!
The photo was very clear after restoration!
Even the cutsinks under the manâs suit were clearly visible.
The round base with a crown shaped pattern, it was very well made and obviously expensive
