Chapter 172
Fredrick’s paranola was stilling, making Marguerite feel suffocated
He was a long standing at the pinnacle of the world, able to manipulate everyone with just a few words. How could the possibly keep track of his every move?
Feeling cornered by him, Marguerite gritted her teeth and tried to remain composed. “Mr. Winston,” she said, her voice calm, “You give me too much credit. Whether or not I know your whereabouts, you’re here, leaving your girlfriend alone waiting. Shouldn’t I interpret it as I am more worthy of your attention than Yuna?”
Marguerite couldn’t find words to refute him, she knew he wouldn’t believe her. She decided to change her tactics and quickly end this standofi
Yet, she realized there was some truth in her words.
If the didn’t mean anything to him, why would he leave Yuns to find her?
Deep down, Marguente knew that this man’s attention had nothing to do with love, it was all about hatred
In fact, his hatred for her surpassed his love for Yuna
Frederick’s eyes locked onto Marguerite, his voice filled with mockery and contempt, “Marguerite, don’t flatter yourself.”
Marguerite held her own, her words sharp and precise, “Mr. Winston, isn’t my self–flattery a product of your Indulgence? Every little thing I do, you get upset. If you cuspect me of ulterior motives, wouldn’t the best course of action be to ignore me?”
Frederick was speechless.
For the first time, he felt defeated by a woman.
He knew she was being sarcastic, yet her words were spot–on, each one hitting him where it hurt.
After a moment of silence, he released Marguerite, his gaze colder than ever.
“Remember this, Marguente. You are nothing to me. From now on, steer clear of me!”
Marguerite put on a brave face, raising her pale face, still wearing her composed expression.
“Til remember that, I wont seck you out. But Mr. Winston, the same goes for you. I believe we both don’t want further entanglements.”
With that, Marguerite pushed Frederick away and walked out of the bathroom.
Her cold, proud silhouette was as composed as ever.
Once out of his sight, Marguente, who had been on edge, finally relaxed She took deep breaths to calm her racing heart.
The man’s overpowering presence had suffocated Marguente. She had used all her strength to stand up to him, not wanting to appear weak
“He ran into some unforeseen issues. He’ll be here as soon as he sorts it out.”
She frowned at Miley, who hadn’t taken off her black mask yet. “Take off the mask, Yuna won’t do anything to you.”
Miley shook her head, unable to probe further into the gossip. She could only glance at her phone screen, anxiously waiting for a response to her message to a man named Mr. Fitzgerald.
