Bride Behind The Mask Novel by (Frederick and Mr. Winston) - Season 2 Episode 99

Jovelyn gently rubbed Marguerite’s fingers with a soft, yet fum grip, transmitting an unspoken strength, “I’m sorry that you can’t be my daughter in law it

itances were different, you would have been my pick So Marguerite, don’t blame yourself Life doesn’t always go the way we want it to This bracelet s iny most precious possession. I’m giving it to you as a form of compensation. Please, accept it.”

fret saying her piece, Jocelyn cleaned her hands on a napkin, rose from her seat and smiled at Marquente. Tve said all I came to say I must return to the hea Márquente, still trying to comprehend Jocelyn’s words, stood there in a daze, watching Jocelyn leave the restaurant without even uttering a goodbye. She touched the bracelet on her wrist, her gaze fixed on the dishes spread out on the table before her, their taste lost on her.

She signaled the waiter and muttered, “Check, please.”

Ma am, the lady who was with you has already paid the bill; the waiter informed her.

Marguerite, finding no reason to stay any longer, left the Mystic Table and hopped on a bus to Miley’s place She told Miley everything about her meeting with Jocelyn Miley, being the gossip enthusiast she was, listened with rapt attention.

“Whats up with Mr Winston’s mom? She says she doesn’t support you but leaves her family heirloom for you What’s that all about?”

Marguerite sighed, “She said it’s a compensation”

Compensation? Thats quite a valuable compensation! Usually, heirlooms like these are passed down to daughters or daughters in law She gave it straight to your Maybe you should try harder? I don’t think Mr. Winston’s mom is completely against you After all, she gave you her bracelet She must approve of you in some

Mdley analyzed the situation excitedly, noticing Marguerite’s silence, she grew a bit worried.

“Marguerite, are you even listening? What are you thinking?”

Marguerite shook her head, her mind in turmoil, “It’s a strange feeling I used to be confused about my feelings for Frederick, but after what Jocelyn said about him today, I feel really bad for him. Am I falling for him?”

Miley, hearing Marguente admit her feelings for someone for the first time, let out a hearty laugh, “You’re not just falling for Mr. Winston, you also have a thing for his mom!”

Marguerite didn’t deny it, “I think she understands me.”

Upon hearing this, Miley’s eyes sparkled with a sudden idea and she leaned in excitedly. “If Mr Winston’s mom insists on you two getting divorced, you can finally take off that mask, night?”

“What do you mean?”

“Think about it, the Lockwoods made you wear the mask because they were afraid you’d seduce Mr. Winston with your beauty But now, your marriage with Mi Winston doesn’t have the support it needs. This naturally fulfills Yuna’s wish. Since you’re destined to divorce, she won’t feel threatened anymore. So, what’s the point of the mask?”

Miley’s argument made sense to Marguerite, “Maybe, just maybe, I can try taking off the mask”

“Take it off, take it off now! Before you divorce, you must show Mr. Winston your true face, dazzle him!”

Miley didn’t want to miss this opportunity and reached out to grab Marguerite’s face

Marguerite quickly stepped back, avoiding Miley’s hand.

Tot now You don’t know what happened yesterday. Powell was furious! And I heard that Maurice, with Powell’s support, started a new company with a huge investment! Frederick’s not just fighting one person, it’s his brother and his father. How would he have time to care about my looks?”

Upon hearing this, Miley’s face fell, “Mr. Powell is so biased! Poor Mr. Winston.”

“That” why I can’t add to his troubles I made a promise to his mother.”

Miley suddenly asked, “So when are you planning to remove the mask? There must be a deadline, right?”

Marg ente thought for a moment, “Once we’ve finalized the divorce, I’ll take it off.”
