velation impat remain a secret.
Butthen, how could Steven, who was entirely outside the perfume industry, know of this?
Maiguente rouldnât help but tense up, her eyes widening in slack, scrutinizing him as if trying to see through to the truth.
Svin, however, didnât display the panic the expected. His gaze was calm, his expression indifferent.
Marguente could discem nothing from his demeanor After a prolonged state Steven lightly touched his nose and chuckled.
âYou know, I attend almost every high society party in town. You hear a lot of gossip Naturally, you learn thingsâ
I was an answer that held up under scrutiny.
Marguente recalled Steven mentioning that these upscale parties usually had a few doctors on hand in case of emergencies So, he must have heard this news at one of those events?
Marguerite mused over this, forcing a strained smile and replying. âSteven, not all gossip should be believedâ
Steven remained unperturbed. âMarguerite, I have studied psychology, and have established several psychology clinics go abroadâ
Marguente was bewildered âIâm mentally sound, and I wouldnât go abroad for treatmentâ
âYour reaction just now said it allâ
Steven flashed a wolfish grin, his white teeth sending a shiver down Margueriteâs spine. âSo Mr.
Winston has indeed lost his sense of smell, hasnât he? You know it, and you cant fool meâ
Suddenly Marguerite found Stevenâs gaze to be even sharper than Frederickâs.
She didnât know if Steven was applying his psychological training to her, but his questions felt incredibly manipulative Luckily, Marguerite managed to keep her composure She yanked the IV needle from her arm, slipped out of the bed, and briskly headed out.
The IV isnât finished yet, where are you going?â
Where could she go?
She needed to find Miley and see if it was possible to restore the deleted photos from her phone!
If even Steven, an outsider, knew about Frederickâs loss of smell, surely Maurice, who viewed Frederick as his lifelong nemesis would know as well?
She feared that Maurice might seize this opportunity to harm Frederick She was in a hurry!
Marguente turned at the doorway. âSteven, youâll keep our conversation today a secret, right?â
Steven, hands in his pockets, met Marguenteâs gaze without hesitation. âYesâ
Marguente nodded. âI trust you Steven. I hope you donât betray my trustâ
