Chapter 20
Marguerite, hearing all this, got really on edge, her fingers even started to tremble. The new instructions given by the mystery person confused her, even seemed nonsensical. Did this person think love was child’s play, that simply saying “I love you” was enough?
Gripping her phone tightly, Marguerite said, “There’s no way Frederick would ever fall for me. The mere mention of marriage has already put him
off me.”
“Guys like gentle women, and Frederick’s no exception.”
Gentle? This mystery person wanted her to act gentle towards Frederick? She… couldn’t do it!
Noticing Marguerite’s hesitation, the mystery man threatened her again, “Marguerite, you don’t have a choice. Don’t forget, I’ve got your family.”
Using her grandmother as a threat was too much for Marguerite to handle, she demanded, “What’s your deal? I can do these things for you, but I can’t do it blindfolded.”
Her tenacity didn’t sit well with the mystery person, “Like I said, overthinking this won’t do you any good. You’ve got three months. Whether your grandma gets better within that time all depends on you.” This person then hung up, cold as ice.
Marguerite was stunned. The person was clearly using her, pushing her step by step into the enemy’s hands. But she was at a loss, if the mystery, person had trouble with Frederick, why go through her? Why did he want her to marry Frederick, and why did he want her to act gentle towards Frederick?
It was baffling.
Meanwhile, in the study room.
Upon receiving his boss‘ orders, Chuck couldn’t help but break a sweat, “Mr. Winston, you want me to investigate Marguerite again?”
Frederick dryly answered, “Yes.”
Marguerite had been living with her grandmother in the countryside since she was a child? What a coincidence!
