Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 515

Manley’s sobs burst forth in a torrent, his small shoulders shaking uncontrollably as he repeatedly wiped his tears with the sleeve

of his shirt.

Teresa stood by, her cheeks puffed with irritation. “Hmph! Considering how you fuss over Hayes, I thought you might turn over a new leaf, but then you go and call my mom the villain! You’re the villain! You and your mom are the real villains!”

Manley’s voice escalated into a full-blown tantrum, flailing as though he might throw himself on the floor in protest. “My mom is not the villain! Your mom is the villain! She is!”

His voice was loud and shrill, cutting through the air until Frederick furrowed his brow and couldn’t help but bark out in anger, “Manley Winston!”

Manley was instantly silenced, and he looked up, eyes wide in shock.
