Chapter 185
Bride Behind The Mask
Miky wat about to blurt out her finendâs name when the suddenly decided against it, swallowing the word âMargueriteâ before it could escape her lips.
to tell Mr Fitzgerald that her friend was Marguente, he would most definitely probe for more Information about her.
would she seriously have to tell him that Marguerite is Frederickâs wife?
No, she couldnât This man might be to her taste, but she couldnât be so naive as to tell him everything!
Sheâd have to meet him a few times more, make sure heâs trustworthy before she could spill the beans.
Frederick wasnât just anybody! He was a man of great Influence in Stonebridge City, akin to a king!
She couldnât just go around blabbening about Mr Winston and Marguerite to anyone.
Miley, after hesitating for a moment, finally changed the topic in her usual playful manner.
If youâre not willing to tell me your name, that means you donât trust me. And if thatâs the case, then of course, I donât trust you either! So why should I tell you who my best frend is?
But I can give you a hint, sheâs really amazing and super beautiful! However, for some reasons, she doesnât look as good as she used toâ
Robert was getting tired of this kind of vague description!
âWhat do you mean by she doesnât look as good as she used to? I remember you told me before that your friend is extremely beautiful. And you even mentioned that whether or not she can restore her looks depends on the picture that I helped restore What does that mean? Can your friendâs appearance change at any time? What does she do?â
Miley chuckled, trying to keep the atmosphere light, âSheâs a performer in a local theatre, playing different characters every dayâ
How could she reveal that Marguerite was hiding behind a mask? Thatâs way too important!
But saying that sheâs an actress wasnât entirely wrong either, they both had to wear masks after all!
However, Mileyâs playful response did make Robert burst into laughter.
He took a sip of his black tea, and even though he found Miley incredibly cute, he couldnât forget the purpose of his visit If Mileyâs mystenous friend was the one Investigating Frederick, then he needed to figure out who this elusive woman was.
He joked, âNext time, bring your friend along Iâd love to see if sheâs as cute as you.â
Miley nodded enthusiastically, stuffing her mouth with spaghetti.
âWe were supposed to go together yesterday, but something came up for my friend so she had to leave early But thereâs something else I need your help with.â
âWhat is it?â
Miley cleaned her mouth and pulled out a piece of note paper from her pocket, âHave you ever seen cufflinks like this before?â
On the note was a sketch of a cufflink, drawn by Miley herself. The cufflinks on the man in the surveillance picture were too small to see clearly, so Miley decided to draw a bigger version.
The drawing was incredibly detailed, almost a perfect replica.
Robertâs eyes widened in surprise That crown design, isnât it the symbol of the Winston Group?
Each member of the Winston Group had a unique crown symbol that represented their status and honor. The design on Mileyâs paper was identical to Frederickâs âWhere did you get this cufflink?â
âIt was in the picture you helped me restore. It was on the manâs cuff,â
Such meticulous observation?
When he was restoring the picture, he only noticed that the manâs back looked similar to Frederickâs Even he hadnât noticed the details of the crown cufflink.
Did these two women use a magnifying glass or something?
But this did confirm one thing â Mileyâs friend was desperate to find Frederick!
But before meeting Marguente, Frederick was notorious for his disinterest in women.
Which woman would need to find him so badly?
But as long as he could keep Mileyâs trust, he was confident that he could find out who her mysterious friend was!
He pretended to examine the drawing carefully, rubbing his chin thoughtfully, âThis kind of cufflink is usually custom made by wealthy families. The design you have here, itâs not something you can buy off the shelfâ
âWhat? I canât buy it?â Miley was disappointed, âHave you seen anything similar then?â
Robert curved his lips into a smile, looking at Miley with amusement, âNever seen it beforeâ
Meanwhile, at the Seaside Man
