Chapter 189
Wher
querite arrived at Ahley’s apartment Miley had already finished her date with Robert and was back home.
Marie spent half an hour explaining the ins and outs of the whole situation to Miley
My hatened attentively, studying the cufflink that Marguente had brought back. As she thought it over, she began to analyze it
“Yuna ron’t entirely in the wrong you know. Back in Marina Shores Village, you were incredibly popular. Everyone loved you. It’s only natural that Yuno felt Chraptened”
Marguerite shook her head in frustration, “Don’t you think the whole thing is just too suspicious? I didn’t even know Frederick when he went to the casino to look for Yunal Why did they want me to wear a mask? Could they have predicted that I’d have trouble with Frederick in the future?”
Miley greed with a nod and shrug, taking a gulp of water.
“Better safe than sorry, I guess. But they sure made a big deal out of it, making you wear a mask just to prevent Mr. Winston from falling for you! And as far as I can rell, Yuna didn’t exactly win Mr. Winston’s affections with her looks either! Didn’t you notice? When you got bumed yesterday, he left her right away!”
Marguerite sighed heavily, her small face fraught with worry. She had a feeling that things weren’t as simple as they seemed.
Miley sensed Marguerite’s concems, placing her hands on Marguerite’s shoulders and resting her chin on them from behind
“Your relationship with Mr Winston is actually quite simple. You were instructed by a mysterious person to marry him and that’s it. As for Yuna’s motive for making you wear a mask, it’s also straightforward. You two are Identical twins, so she naturally fears that Mr. Winston might mistake you for her. And given the Lockwood family’s intelligence, they certainly can’t think that far So things might not be as complicated as you think.”
Miley’s analysis seemed to sway Marguerite a little.
In fact, the evidence was pretty clear, but Marguerite just found the reason behind the mask hard to accept. The Lockwood family threatened her grandmother’s life, to coerce her time and time again
She thought she could use this to uncover more secrets.
But who would have thought that the reason for the mask was just an old–fashioned love issue! Wasn’t that making a mountain out of a molehill?
But for now, Marguente couldn’t think of any other reasons and had to temporarily give in.
She rubbed her temples in imitation and conceded, “Okay, we’ve got that sorted But I still want to find the father of the child in my belly as soon as possible”
Miley looked worried, gently massaging Marguente’s shoulders and urging her to take it easy.
“Come on, don’t you think you’ve been a bit too busy lately? After investigating this and that, now that the truth is finally out, take a break. Don’t forget, you’ve still got mel Forget about it for now, let’s go shopping”
With that, Miley dragged Marguerite towards the door, “Consider it a celebration of our partial victory“”
Miley grabbed her bag from the foyer, put on her mask and led Marguerite out the door.
As Marguerite stepped into the elevator, she couldn’t help but complain, “What’s with you and the mask lately?”
Miley gave a playful smile, “I took my makeup off as soon as I got home. I don’t want to go out like this!”
Soon, Miley drove Marguente to the Grandeur Square Mall. The last time she was here, she was with Fredenck
He had bought her countless clothes Marguente had always wanted to pay him back, but the large sum of money was an astronomical figure for an ordinary person
Was she really going to spend a lifetime
