Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 781

She shook her head, her brain swirling into dizziness, leaving her no choice but to slump onto the desk for a brief respite.

Mr. Perry, already at his wits' end with Marguerite, suddenly harbored sinister thoughts.

"If I could get this woman into bed, it wouldn't just be a devastating blow to her personally."

He could also use the affair to blackmail her, squeezing out a hefty sum in the process!

Feeling the threat from the man, Mr. Perry's body jolted.

"Mr. Ward, what do you mean? She's had too much to drink; she needs to rest."

Silas simply pulled Marguerite into his arms, "I'll take her."

Mr. Perry was fuming!
