Chapter 175
Bride Behind The Mask
She didnât expect Frederick to make the first move, a fact that left Marquente father perpleind.
Following close behind the waiter brought over ice water and scissors Frederick took a moment to measure Margueriteâs thigh before decisively cutting off most of the denim fabric In an instant, Miley coed out in sorow Margueriteâs thigh was swollen and covered in blisters. Some had risen into small bumps while others had already burst Frederick lowered his cate his deep eyes seemed to ignite with a hidden flame. âQuit the fussing, if youâre hurt this bad, why arenât you at the hospital?â
was clear he was directing this at Miley Miley didnât expect Fredericks fire to be directed at her. Although displeased, the realized this was a display of hic concern for Marguerite. She cast a meaningful look at Yuna, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
Tm just worried, okay? Our Marguerite is loo soft for her own good. She gets bullied and still defends the culprit. Sheâs all alone. If I donât stand up for her, who Will?â
Frederick glanced at Miley impatiently, the next second he unscrewed the bottle cap and gently poured the icy water over Margueriteâs wound.
The coolness flooded in, a relief compared to the earlier burning sensation, but it still hurt Marguente watched the man kneeling before her, her feelings a tangled mess.
At the same time, she caught a glimpse of Yuna out of the comer of her eye, secretly gauging the womanâs expression Yuna was green with envy, her teeth gritted as if she wished she could kick Marguente Meanwhile, the waiter responsible for the mishap hid behind Yuna, whispering into her ear.
Marguerite instantly knew what was going on.
âYouâre Mr. Winston, right? Iâm Marguenteâs best friend, and I saw everything that happened.â
Marguente quickly shot Miley a look, signaling her to keep quiet.
Mileyâs words got stuck in her throat, her expression one of frustration.
But Margueriteâs gaze was so sharp and urgent that Miley held her tongue and closed her mouth obediently.
After a long silence, Marguente suddenly locked eyes with Frederick Her watery eyes held a hint of softness and plea, âIâm in pain, could you take me to the hospital?â
Fredenck stared at her, his eyes as deep as a well Take her to the hospital?
Hadnât she promised not to bother him again?
But after a long contemplation, he finally agreed, âAlright.â
Marguente shot Yuna a cold look, then leaned on the table to shift her body, the pain getting worse She decided to push a little further, âI canât feel my legs anymore, I canât walk. Can you carry me?â
Yuna clenched her fists upon hearing this, her face redder than a tomato.
Was this Marguenteâs way of seducing men?
Despicable!
Absolutely despicable!
Yuna was burning with rage, but what infuriated her more was that Frederick didnât say a word before he hoisted Marguerite up and started walking towards the door Dominant, yet utterly charming Miley followed like a little tail, âIâm coming with youâ
âMiley, donâtâ
Margueriteâs expression was cryptic, she was addressing Miley but her gaze remained fixed on Yuna, âOne man is enoughâ
Miley instantly understood Margueriteâs intention, she deliberately walked over to Yuna, raising her voice for effect âAlright, alnight, I wonât go! Mr. Winston, you must take good care of our Marguerite!â
Marguente was doing this on purpose, using Frederick to deal a harsh blow to Yuna She knew that Yuna was the one causing trouble behind the scenes, and complaining about it wouldnât make a difference.
The only thing that could hurt Yuna was monopolizing Frederick And Margueriteâs manipulation of Fredenck was indeed effective. This move had Yuna seething with rage!
