Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 553

The crowd gasped in shock, turning their heads to look at Marguerite.

Marguerite herself was completely baffled, at a loss as to why Manley would say such a thing.

When had she ever hit him?

He had just been discharged from the hospital the day before, and she had gone to the office yesterday, not even having the chance to be alone with him!

What was even more surprising was that, at this moment, Yuna didn’t explode with anger. Instead, she wrapped Manley in her arms and asked softly, “Sweetie, did you have a nightmare last night? Tell me, what happened?”

Manley looked at Marguerite with pitiful eyes, then quickly glanced away in fear, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

“It wasn’t… it wasn’t a nightmare… Aunt Marguerite hit me! She… she choked me and said… said Daddy was going to kick me and mommy out, never to let us come back…

Marguerite was confused as she urgently tried to clear her name, “Manley, are you sure you didn’t get it wrong? How could I possibly hit you?”
