Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 7

Frederick watched Marguerite, his deep eyes flickering with a cold light, his gaze colder than ever.

They can’t divorce within three months?

Upon hearing the news, Frederick couldn’t hide his anger anymore. He opened his lips and snapped at the woman in front of him, “So, this is your plan?”

How bloody convenient!

He’d just walked into the registry office with Yuna, and this woman named Marguerite swooped in like a bolt of lightning, somehow managing to become his wife in name first.

What the hell was this woman playing at?

Marguerite looked at him blankly, her clear eyes filled with innocence, “What do you mean?”

Frederick coldly stared at her, his rebellious eyes like a fierce bird of prey, “You’ve planned it well, becoming my wife for three months. Thinking you’ll get a cut of my wealth once we divorce? Dream on!”

Wealth?

Rich–folks always have the weirdest thinking. Just because they’re loaded, they think everyone wants to get something from them?

She just wanted to save her grandma’s life.

She married a stranger she didn’t love, so she was a victim too.

Marguerite clenched her fists in anger at his insult. She straightened her back and her gaze hardened, “Sir, you’ve got it all wrong. I don’t know you, and I don’t give a damn about your money.”

The man laughed, his slightly upturned mouth revealing his white teeth, “I’ve seen plenty of gold–diggers, but you’re the first to be so calculating.”

Marguerite blushed furiously at his insult and was momentarily speechless.

To save her grandma, she’d become the wife of this man in front of her, under the instructions of a mysterious person. That was her biggest
