Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 658

When Marguerite arrived at the scene, she was just in time to see Penelope's car being lifted from the river. The crane hoisted the skeletal remains of the sedan, its windows shattered to pieces. Squinting, she could barely make out the remnants of blood stains on the car body.

Marguerite froze, her mind whirling in a dizzy haze as if the world around her blurred and faded into unreality.

Marguerite staggered over, her heart aching so fiercely she could hardly breathe. She couldn't fathom how someone she had been talking to just an hour ago could end up like this.

This pain took her back three years, to the morning she learned of her grandmother's death. She felt an unbearable sorrow, yet strangely, she couldn't shed a single tear. Because deep down, she refused to believe that Penelope was gone.
