Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 744

He strode toward Maurice and demanded, "Making up with Marguerite should be the last thing you'd want to see. So, what's your game here?"

Maurice downed his champagne in one gulp and casually placed the glass on the step behind him, his gaze drifting towards Marguerite, seemingly by chance.

"This is something I'd suggest keeping from Marguerite. After all, you know very well I'm capable of anything."

Indeed, Maurice's demeanor was starkly different when facing him compared to when he was with Marguerite.

Now, his facade was completely gone.

Malice and cunning were blatantly on display.

Ambition and a readiness for violence coexisted.

Frederick couldn't help but look towards Marguerite, seeing her still standing there, not having left.

The worry in her eyes broke his heart.

He knew that from this point forward, Marguerite would be both his vulnerability and his shield.
