Chapter 189
Bride Behind The Mask
Wher querite arrived at Ahleyâs apartment Miley had already finished her date with Robert and was back home.
Marie spent half an hour explaining the ins and outs of the whole situation to Miley My hatened attentively, studying the cufflink that Marguente had brought back. As she thought it over, she began to analyze it âYuna ronât entirely in the wrong you know. Back in Marina Shores Village, you were incredibly popular.
Everyone loved you. Itâs only natural that Yuno felt Chraptenedâ
Marguerite shook her head in frustration, âDonât you think the whole thing is just too suspicious? I didnât even know Frederick when he went to the casino to look for Yunal Why did they want me to wear a mask? Could they have predicted that Iâd have trouble with Frederick in the future?â
Miley greed with a nod and shrug, taking a gulp of water.
âBetter safe than sorry, I guess. But they sure made a big deal out of it, making you wear a mask just to prevent Mr. Winston from falling for you! And as far as I can rell, Yuna didnât exactly win Mr. Winstonâs affections with her looks either! Didnât you notice? When you got bumed yesterday, he left her right away!â
Marguerite sighed heavily, her small face fraught with worry. She had a feeling that things werenât as simple as they seemed.
Miley sensed Margueriteâs concems, placing her hands on Margueriteâs shoulders and resting her chin on them from behind âYour relationship with Mr Winston is actually quite simple. You were instructed by a mysterious person to marry him and thatâs it. As for Yunaâs motive for making you wear a mask, itâs also straightforward.
You two are Identical twins, so she naturally fears that Mr. Winston might mistake you for her. And given the Lockwood familyâs intelligence, they certainly canât think that far So things might not be as complicated as you think.â
Mileyâs analysis seemed to sway Marguerite a little.
In fact, the evidence was pretty clear, but Marguerite just found the reason behind the mask hard to accept. The Lockwood family threatened her grandmotherâs life, to coerce her time and time again She thought she could use this to uncover more secrets.
But who would have thought that the reason for the mask was just an oldâfashioned love issue! Wasnât that making a mountain out of a molehill?
But for now, Marguente couldnât think of any other reasons and had to temporarily give in.
She rubbed her temples in imitation and conceded, âOkay, weâve got that sorted But I still want to find the father of the child in my belly as soon as possibleâ
Miley looked worried, gently massaging Marguenteâs shoulders and urging her to take it easy.
âCome on, donât you think youâve been a bit too busy lately? After investigating this and that, now that the truth is finally out, take a break. Donât forget, youâve still got mel Forget about it for now, letâs go shoppingâ
With that, Miley dragged Marguerite towards the door, âConsider it a celebration of our partial victoryââ
Miley grabbed her bag from the foyer, put on her mask and led Marguerite out the door.
As Marguerite stepped into the elevator, she couldnât help but complain, âWhatâs with you and the mask lately?â
Miley gave a playful smile, âI took my makeup off as soon as I got home. I donât want to go out like this!â
Soon, Miley drove Marguente to the Grandeur Square Mall. The last time she was here, she was with Fredenck He had bought her countless clothes Marguente had always wanted to pay him back, but the large sum of money was an astronomical figure for an ordinary person Was she really going to spend a lifetime
