Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 40

In the middle of their conversation, Robert had quickly driven back to Sapphire Valley Estates.

Sadie and Chuck, along with the medical team, had been waiting at the door for quite a while. As soon as Frederick got out of the car carrying Marguerite, the nurse rushed over with the stretcher.

Frederick carefully put Marguerite on the bed, then turned to Chuck. His tone was icy. “Come with me to the study.”

Chuck followed him without a word.

In a huff, Frederick lit up a cigar and commanded, “Dig into the relationship between Marguerite and the Lockwood family.”

“Mr. Winston, I’m on it!” Then Chuck left at once.

Meanwhile, Frederick turned to the full–length window, slowly puffing on his cigar.

Yuna had previously denied knowing Marguerite, but things didn’t seem to be as simple as that.

If she really didn’t know Marguerite, then how the hell did Zoe have Marguerite’s phone number?

He wasn’t sure what they had talked about, but Marguerite had looked extremely agitated when she left the company. She was clearly under a huge threat.

And then she disappeared.

All this made him suspect that the Lockwood family was bullying Marguerite.
