Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 884

"I never really thought about forgiving him. But I can't shake the feeling that he's changed somehow. I just can't quite put my finger on what's different."

"Ugh! Don't you dare give him any credit! He's just putting on an act for your sake!"

As Miley spoke, she pulled a phone out of her pocket.

"If you don't believe me, let me tell you something else. Remember that phone you asked Chuck to check out? He found spyware installed on it! And I'd bet anything it was Maurice who put it there, right?"

Marguerite's hand faltered-not because the result surprised her, but because she didn't understand how the phone ended up with Miley.

"I told Chuck not to tell you guys, but that little traitor went and spilled the beans anyway."

"It was just a stroke of luck, really. The technician Chuck took the phone to works

at Robert's garage-he's the resident tech guy over there."

Miley waved the phone as she lectured, full of exasperated concern.

"Now, honestly—are we supposed to feel safe letting you hang around a guy who's planted spyware on your phone not once, but twice?"

Marguerite managed a crooked smile, not wanting to listen to Miley's well- meaning nagging for another minute. She joked, "Alright, alright, message received! If it weren't for my wonderful best friend, I'd probably have fallen for Maurice's tricks all over again."

Satisfied, Miley nodded and crouched down to help Marguerite pack up their things.

"So get yourself back to the office already! Is Polar Radiance ever going to launch, or what?"

Hayes darted over and asked eagerly, "Mom, are you going back to
