Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 698

Margaret hadn't even opened her mouth when Frederick's arm came to her defense.

He locked eyes with Daphne without the slightest hint of evasion, but his words were aimed at Maurice.

"Pretty slick with the double standards, aren't you? I take Margaret out for some legit business, and that's a problem, but you parading around with other women is fine?"

And there he was, putting on an act in front of her as if everything was just fine. Disgusting!
