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.

Ambition and a readiness for violence coexisted.

The worry in her eyes broke his heart.

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