Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 784

Marguerite had barely settled into her office chair when her phone rang. It was Chuck.

"Marguerite, got some intel. Silas is this big-shot from an international venture capital group, heavily invests in various enterprises. He's only recently popped up on the scene here; nobody had heard of him before. Plus, the guy's a bit of an oddball, not much of a talker, and, to put it mildly, not winning any beauty contests, which kinda freaks people out."

Marguerite's brows knitted together in thought, her fingers automatically moving to massage her temples.

Silas an oddball and not much of a talker? Why then did his behavior towards her feel so blatantly forward and unrefined? His movements, his words - all too bold. And yet, she couldn't deny a strange attraction to him!

Every time their eyes met, Marguerite's heart ached as if seeing Frederick again, tearing her apart inside.

With a firm set to her jaw, Marguerite momentarily shelved her feelings for Silas, exhaling softly before speaking again.

"Send me a picture of him before the burn."

"A burn? Marguerite, I found no record of Silas ever being burned."

Stunned by this revelation, Marguerite's expression froze, taking a moment to find her voice again.
