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?"

Maurice sneered in response, "Cut the crap."

But his dalliance with Daphne was an open secret, so how could he have the gall to accuse others of talking nonsense? It was as if he thought his web of lies had everyone fooled, not realizing Margaret was well aware of his dirty little secret. And there he was, putting on an act in front of her as if everything was just fine. Disgusting!
