Marguente locked eyes with Frederick, whose handsome face shrouded in a cloud of grim shock
She quickly avoided his oppressive gaze long her head slightly to observe Maurice from the comer of her eye Was
that enough?” she asked
Maunce wore a smile throughout the entire ordeal, as if everythin
happening was under his control.
Marguente was finally experiencing the cunning and sly nature of Maurice that she had heard so much about. His
strategic play was smart and ruthless. No man could stand to be cheated on, especially by his own woman and a
loathed nemens
The words coming out of Marquente’s mouth had a devastating impact, far more severe than if Maurice had said
them himself
Maurice walked up to Marguente, whispering in her ear with an air of familianty and ambiguity. “What about the
rest? Did you tell Frederick when we met?” Marguerite felt a chill run down her spine. Maunce had backed her into

She was at the root of this mess, she had no choice but to take the leap.
“We we met a long time ago Marguerite gritted her teeth, looking back at Frederick “We knew each other before I
met you.”
Frederick remained calm, his gaze fixed on Marguente’s face as he tried to determine the truth in her words
Marguente knew he didn’t believe her. His current state was akin to when Maurice revealed his true identity to her.
He must have thought she was joking, making fun of him. But he was much more composed than she was
Marguerite was overwhelmed with emotion, but suddenly found herself pulled into Frederick’s embrace
His jaw rested on her neck, his hand dusting her hair. His voice was barely a whisper, only meant for her to hear,
“Did he threaten you? You know I won’t let my woman be in danger I have the power to protect you Tell me,
everything you said was under his coercion.”
His embrace was tight and warm, but Marguerite’s heart was shattering She was on the verge of tears, the words
she had to say were choking her
Taking a deep breath, she pushed Frederick away, not giving him a chance to argue, “I didn’t lie to you, not a single
word Iconspired with Maurice against you. He promised me that if I mamed you, he could cure my grandmother’s
illness”
Frederick’s eyes darkened, but his gaze on Marguerite remained complex
Marguente wished he would look at her with raw hatred, but instead, she saw a glimmer of hope in his eyes
Marguerite shouted inside of her “Fool! Why won’t you believe me? I deceived you! I deceived you of everything!”
Frederick’s gaze was heartbreaking for Marguente, but his phone rang at that moment
He kept dismissing the call, but the caller was persistent.
Eventually, he answered and heard Robert’s urgent voice, “Frederick! Did you see Marguente? I have something
important to tell you about her Go somewhere private, don’t let her hear anything I’m about to tell your
Marguente didn’t know who was calling, but she noticed that Frederick’s gaze never left her since he picked up the
call
Then, he put the call on speaker
“A few days ago, Miley brought Marguerite’s phone for me to fix I just checked it at the garage, there are several
spyware and recorded conversations in it! Our private company meetings have all been recorded. Frederick?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFrederick, are you there? Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Frederick hung up the call, his piercing gaze fixed on Marguente
Marguerite stumbled backward, but Maunce quickly steadied her and pulled her to his side
The line was clearly drawn, Marguente didn’t pull her hand away from Maurice She looked back at Frederick with a
self–mocking smile. See, Robert just confirmed it is there anything else you don’t understand? I can explain it to
you”
Frederick’s face was almost pale, his expression blank
Just an hour ago, he thought he finally knew the truth, that Marguente was the girl who saved his life fifteen years
ago
He was eager to meet her to ask her if she was the one he had a one-night stand with at the Regal Haven Hotel
He desperately hoped that the baby Marguerite was carrying was his. But Marguente told him, the father of the
child, was Mauncel
Looking at Marguerite’s face, sweeter and more innocent than Yuna’s, Frederick felt alienated from the woman he
once shared an intimate relationship with
