Chapter 431

Yuna froze on the spot, as the servants once again caught a whiff of juicy gossip.

“So, the midnight snack was made by Mr. Frederick? But didn’t Ms. Marguerite just admit that she also had a midnight snack?”

“They had it together last night!”

“What! Mr Frederick cooked for Ms. Marguerite? This is big gossip! No wonder Ms. Yuna is throwing a fit this morning!”

The chattering of the servants made Yuna furious. She was even more livid that Frederick would lie in public, making her the laughing stock to save Marguerite.

She hastily got up from the floor and rushed to find Frederick. But she accidentally stepped on a spot of oil on the floor and stumbled right into the man’s feet.

Several servants couldn’t hold back their laughter as Yuna took a tumble. But Yuna didn’t care, she managed to get up, grabbed Frederick’s shoulders firmly.

“Freddie, I know you don’t like to stir up trouble, but Marguerite intentionally set me up, and you are still defending her at this point? Last night… you were with me all night! When did you have time to go downstairs and make a midnight snack?”

She deliberately made it sound ambiguous, leading everyone to believe that something had happened between them last night.

Frederick lowered his gaze, his expression complicated, “Last night…”

Just as he was about to spill the truth, Yuna quickly leaned in, whispering in his ear, “Freddie, Maurice and Marguerite are so close, and they teamed up to bully me. Can you really stand by and watch?

They are targeting me because they don’t dare to confront you directly!

They don’t respect you at all! They just want to make your life miserable at this mansion! And they want to push you out of the Winston Group. Can you swallow this insult?”

From a third-person perspective, Yuna whispering in Frederick’s ear looked especially intimate.

Marguerite couldn’t hear what they were saying, but she felt devastated.

N She didn’t need to guess to know that Frederick would definitely stand up for Yuna.

And the sight of the two seemingly embracing made a young servant particularly envious, “Mr.

Frederick and Ms. Yuna are truly close. Last night I passed by their room, and I heard some noises…”

“What kind of noises?”

The young servant blushed, “Well… the sound of the bed hitting the wall, and Ms. Yuna’s groan…”

Several servants were stunned, they swallowed hard as their minds filled with images.

At that moment, Yuna turned around, linking her arm with Frederick’s, triumphantly casting a gloating glance at Marguerite.

It seemed that her efforts last night were not in vain.

She initially just wanted Marguerite to hear Frederick and her having sex, but unexpectedly her own noises were also overheard by the servants. This was even better, because now everyone in the Winston family will know how much Freddie loves her!

Marguerite’s eyes were stung again, it seemed, this man really had no intention of telling the truth.

“Marguerite, did you hear that? Freddie didn’t go to the kitchen at all last night, he was with me the whole night! So you were the only one who went to the kitchen, and you must have spilled the oil on purpose! You owe me an apology! Right now!”

Marguerite’s cold and proud eyes fell on Frederick, carrying a hint of question and defiance, but she remained silent. If even the person involved denied it, then the truth would be meaningless.

Let it be misunderstood then.

After all, it wasn’t the first time that Yuna had framed and set her up.

“Alright, I admit…”

“I’ve already said it…” Frederick interrupted Marguerite before she could finish.

Meeting his gaze, Marguerite saw a glint of sharpness in his narrow eyes.

The next second, he shook off Yuna’s hand, his eyes filled with displeasure. After a pause, he finally spoke again, “The midnight snack was made by me for her, and it has nothing to do with Marguerite.”
