Chapter 29
Who would’ve thought things would turn out like this, Marguerite’s face changed in an instant, while Yuna was bombarding her with questions
non–stop.
Marguerite was rooted to the spot, speechless, and realized she was caught in a trap she couldn’t explain her way out of.
How did Yuna’s bracelet end up in her bag?
She never laid a finger on Yuna, how could she have taken Yuna’s stuff?
Suddenly, it dawned on Marguerite!
Earlier, Yuna had bumped into her and appeared from behind her.
That bracelet must had been sneakily slipped into her bag by Yuna at that point.
But why?
She was always extra cautious around Yuna, but still fell into her trap.
“Yuna, you’re ruthless. What’s the point of doing this?”
Marguerite was filled with anger, looking in disbelief at her own sister who was setting her up.
Her voice was drowned out again by the crowd’s self–righteous shouting and cursing.
“This chick is a real thief!”
“Lady, don’t let her off the hook, people like her are the worst! Send her to the police station, she must be punished!”
“Yes! Punish her!”
At that moment, Marguerite felt like she was being swallowed by the crowd’s criticisms. She was panicking, her explanations were useless.
“Let’s leave it at that, the bracelet is found, no need to make a fuss.” Yuna said, feigning á pout.
“No way! She needs to be taught a lesson Lady, this bracelet isn’t cheap, right? It’s quite valuable, she could be jailed for this! Don’t worry, we’ve got your back!”
“Yes, we have your back! The police station is just up ahead, let’s take her there!”
Before Marguerite could react, she was dragged away by some enthusiastic locals to the nearby police station.
Marguerite stumbled along, turning her head to see Yuna’s smug face.
Marguerite was filled with despair, feeling helpless and powerless.
She couldn’t understand why Yuna held such a grudge against her, was it because she became Frederick’s wife?
But he didn’t love her, he was in love with Yuna!
Before she knew it, Marguerite was brought to the police station.
She was silently locked up in the detention area, while the onlookers were furiously discussing the events,
Yuna triumphantly waved her phone, approached Marguerite and said, “I’ve already called Freddie. Marguerite, you’re done for!”
So this was the true face of Marguerite, stealing her glory in their childhood, now trying to steal her man.
Marguerite was nothing but a vile thief, Yuna had to show Frederick her true colors!
Marguerite gave up struggling, “What’s the use of calling him?”
Yuna sneered sarcastically, “Aren’t you two married? Aren’t you his wife in the eyes of the law? Then who else could help you but him? I’m just curious, if Freddie knew you stole my stuff, would he still let you live with him?”
She didn’t steal anything!
She was being framed!
Marguerite wanted to shout out the truth, but what good would it do?
No one was on her side, not even the soon–to–arrive Frederick, she guessed he wouldn’t believe her either.
Love often blinds people, so she didn’t expect Frederick, who was head over heels for Yuna, to stand on the side of justice and investigate the
truth.
Soon, a familiar car pulled up at the corner, Frederick and Robert walked into the police station with an intimidating presence.
As soon as Yuna saw Frederick, she ran over and grabbed his arm, pointing at Marguerite and whining, “Freddie, look at her! I’m so upset.”
The man had a serious expression, but his eyes were only on Marguerite.
He coldly shook off Yuna’s hand and walked towards Marguerite.
Marguerite felt guilty under his gaze, instinctively clutching her clothes, waiting for his accusations.
However, reality didn’t turn out as she expected.
As he approached, all she heard was his anxious and worried voice, “Who locked you up here? Don’t you know I’ve been looking for you? Why didn’t you answer your phone?”
