Chapter 184
Lale unto the night, Seaside Manor.
After resuming from the hospital, Frederick stood before the floor to ceiling windown on the second floor, gazing out at the tranquil waves in deep thought.
The grand mantion was shrouded in darkness, void of any servants, making it seem particularly desolate
Chuck approached with reverence, reporting. “Mr. Winston, Marguerite arrived home three hours ago. According to Sadie, she fell asleep after taking her medication. She should be able to walk normally by tomorrow”
1 S**” Fredenck puffed on his cigar one after another, showing no inclination to speak.
Yuna’s proposal to build a relationship was suffocating him, but since she seemed hell–bent on it, he decided to play along for a while.
After all, Frederick himself was curious whether he could fall in love with another woman again
If not, then whom did he love? Marguerite?
The more Frederick pondered, the more restless he became, his handsome eyebrows furrowing tightly.
Chuck lingered, observing Frederick’s expression. After a moment of hesitation, he finally decided to report what he had leamed at the hospital
“Mr. Winston”
“Speak.”
“By accident, I overheard at the hospital that the pills Ms. Yuna took in her suicide attempt were melatonin. After that, she took two witamin pills.”
Frederick paused, tumed around, and looked puzzled.
Chuck swallowed and continued explaining. “Melatonin is a supplement for sleep, and its effects are very mild. According to the doctor, the vitamins Ms. Yuna took afterward completely neutralized the effects of the melatonin.”
“What are you implying?”
Frederick’s expression was ominously terrifying
But once the words were out, there was no turning back, so Chuck could only continue, “Mr. Winston, it’s possible that Ms. Yuna never intended to commit suicide at all. She did it just to call you over and frame Marguerite!”
Chuck had witnessed how harsh Mr. Winston had been to Marguerite at the hospital
1 see.
That’s it? That’s Mr. Winston’s reaction?
“Mr. Winston, Ms. Yuna’s suicide attempt had nothing to do with Marguerite. You misunderstood Marguerite. Dont you think you should… apologize?”
Fredenck retorted, “Did she ever apologize for getting pregnant behind my back?”
Chuck was taken aback and didn’t know what to say
Indeed, Marguerite was in the wrong for carrying another man’s child without Winston’s knowledge.
Fredenck exhaled a circle of smoke, then look out a photo from his pocket, “Investigate how this necklace was purchased and find out as soon as possible”
Chuck glanced down and was surprised to see it was the sapphire necklace Yuna wore.
Was Mr. Winston starting to care about Yuna?
Chuck sighed, didn’t say anything else, and respectfully exited.
The following day at noon
Robert managed to arrange another meeting with Smiley and they met at the Bluebell Bistro for steak. The sight of Smiley made Roberts heart skip a beat
Her candy pink long T–shirt barely covered her white shorts, paired with matching sneakers. The color was bright, but it looked just night on her
Smiley, true to her name, was truly making others smile.
I’m really sorry about yesterday Something came up. When I got there, you had already left, and you didn’t respond to my messages. Are you mad?”
Miley looked at him with her big, watery eyes. “You ghosted me on our first date. Are you asking me if I’m mad?”
“It’s my fault, I apologize”
Miley held back her laughter. She had to admit, she was quite enthralled by the man before her. “What’s your name?”
Robert was ready to reveal his identity, but he remembered how this woman had been snooping around Frederick, and he wondered if she was working for Maunce Winston.
Although she didn’t seem like it, he had to be cautious.
The name isn’t important, you can keep calling me Mr. Fitzgerald What about you? What’s your name?”
Miley rolled her eyes, mimicking his tone, “The name isn’t important, you can keep calling me Smiley!
They stared at each other, nearly bursting out in laughter
As Robert calmly cut his steak, he decided not to beat around the bush and asked directly, “Why did you want to restore that photo? Are you trying to find the man I the photo?”
Miley was straightforward and didn’t think too much about it. Im not looking for him, my bestie is.”
Robert paused, surprised that Smiley admitted it so quickly
But what did her bestie have to do with Fredenck?
