Chapter 291
Bride Behind The Mask
With a grittedâteeth determination, Fredenck uttered each word in a clipped tone before turning around and resolutely striding away Marguente instinctively wanted to follow, but she was stuck in place as if she was a statue, her body refusing to obey her commands. Her heart was the only thing that moved, shattering into a million fragments.
Meanwhile, Frederick had just left the grand Winston Mansion when the Lockwood familyâs Mercedesâ
Benz drew up slowly.
Yuna tumbled out of the car and clumsily lunged towards Frederick, falling onto her knees and clutching his legs as she sobbed and pleaded, âFreddie! I admit it, Marguerite was the one who saved you fifteen years ago, but the child Iâm carrying is truly yours! Our baby is innocent! Please forgive me, can you forgive me?â
Looking down at Yunaâs face that was identical to Margueriteâs, the hatred in Frederickâs heart intensified. He ruthlessly pulled his legs free from Yunaâs grasp. leaving her sprawled awkwardly on the ground. With a disgusted expression, Frederick skirted around Yuna and headed towards his car.
Yuna, in a fit of desperation, yelled after him, âFreddie! It was Marguerite who fooled you, not me!â
Frederick froze for a moment, turning around to face her. The look in his eyes was full of bloodlust and fury. He approached her quickly, his aura threatening and intense as he gripped Yunaâs throat, âDonât mention Marguente in my presence!â
Hearing about everything that happened in the study through Hammond, Yuna was still terrified by Frederickâs explosive anger. Her voice trembled as she cried out his name, âFreddie.
Is the child truly mine?â He asked, his gaze intense and his tone oppressive.
Yuna, feeling guilty, kept silent Afraid that Yuna would mess things up, Zoe quickly stepped forward, âIt is, Mr. Winston! The child Yunaâs carrying is indeed yours!â
Frederick shot a sharp glance at Zoe before turning his gaze back to Yuna, his eyes filled with hostility, âI will have you immediately transported to an island for isolation You claim youâre pregnant with my child? Fine, give birth to it for a DNA test. If itâs mine, Iâll raise it. But if you dare lie to me, Iâll make sure you and your child have no place to rest in peace.â
With that, Frederick walked arrogantly towards his car, revving the engine and speeding away Yuna was left sitting on the ground in shock. A DNA test? She was not pregnant, and even if she was to get pregnant now, she would never pass Fredenckâs demand for a DNA test!
âMom! What do we do now? He wants a DNA test for the baby! Iâm doomed, Iâm really doomed this time!â Yuna wailed Zoe looked at her daughter with disappointment, cursing her stupidity in her mind. Yuna could only ask âwhat do we do?â whenever there was a problem and always relied on her to come up with solutions!
âWhat an idiot!â Zoe angrily yanked Yuna up from the ground, casting a sinister look at the old mansion, âDonât forget, the child in Marguenteâs womb is Mr. Winstonâsâ
Understanding dawned on Yuna, âAre you saying.â
Zoe quickly put a finger to her lips, nodding with a thoughtful expression But Yuna hesitated, âBut Marguerite is currently with Maurice, will he⦠allow us to do this?â
âMaurice wonât, but Hammond might. Youâve done so much under Hammondâs instructions, if he doesnât help you now, weâll go to Maunce and expose himâ
