Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 769

An hour into their high-speed train ride to Cresthaven, Manley had dozed off, his head resting on Hayes's shoulder, a lollipop still in his mouth.

Hayes, on the other hand, was restless, swiping through the screen of his children's smartwatch, where he had transferred all his chat records with a mysterious online friend.

The sudden alert that had appeared and then vanished from his screen was on his mind, as was the message he had sent that hadn't received a reply yet. Curiosity got the better of him, and he turned to Marguerite with a question.

"Mom, have you ever heard of a chip?" he asked.

"A chip?" Marguerite tensed up at the question.

Hayes nodded. "Yeah, like, if you put a chip into someone's brain, they lose all their memories."

His explanation was a bit off the mark, but Marguerite understood all too well.

What he was describing was the chip technology that Frederick and Maurice had been scrambling over just six months ago!

But how could Hayes possibly know about this technology?

After Frederick's death, the project, including the collaboration with the hacker, had been taken over by Maurice.
