Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 592

When Yúna got her hands on those pills, Zoe had reassured her they were purely herbal extracts. That’s why she felt so darn confident spiking Manley’s milk with them! But she never imagined that just two days later, Frederick would sniff out her little scheme!

Yuna was pale as a ghost, but she wasn’t about to let her efforts go down the drain without a fight, “Manley’s sick as a dog, probably food poisoning. That’s a whole different can of worms from the beating Marguerite gave him! How do you explain the bruises? Freddie, you always take Marguerite’s side, and I’ve never said boo! But how can you twist facts like this? Just because Manley’s milk tested positive for Nightshade, you think that proves Marguerite’s innocence? That’s just nuts!”

Hackett stood by Yuna like a rock, even though he was clueless about the whole mess and had no idea how these two incidents were connected. But he backed Yuna up like it was his job!

“Yuna’s right! My grandson got beaten black and blue, and you lot cook up some flimsy excuse to cover for Marguerite’s misdeeds? Over my dead body!”

With the argument heating up again, Jocelyn had to step in and clarify, “Hackett, you’re missing a piece of the puzzle. Nightshade is a type of fungus from down South. Eat it raw or have too much, and you’ll start seeing things.

Marguerite didn’t lay a finger on Manley. He was hallucinating. The bruises? Probably hurt himself stumbling around in his delirium.”
