Bride behind the mask novel (Marguerite) novel Chapter 232

Chapter 232

Divorce postponed?

Marguerite wouldn’t have it!

If she could, she’d run to the courthouse right now!

How could the man in front of her understand the agony of unrequited love? Seeing him everyday was like living through years of torment

She viewed Frederick as a heartless executioner. He could have mercifully ended her suffering, yet he chose to drag it out, grinding down her patience bit by bit.

The constant delay of their divorce left her fearing that her feelings for him would only intensify, making it even harder to let him go.

“So, you’re set on doing this? Even if I don’t agree, you’ll go public with our relationship at this point?”

Despite Frederick’s seemingly cold and resolute demeanor, she couldn’t see the tightly clenched fist hidden behind his back, his short nails digging painfully into his skin.

And she didn’t know that everything Frederick was doing was to protect her.

Everyone was currently focusing on the Polar Radiance perfume project. The Internet was not so easily fooled. If they didn’t address the rumora, the public would keep digging

The truth about their relationship, and the scandal of Marguerite being pregnant out of wedlock, which led to the abrupt cancellation of the Polar Radiance project, would inevitably be revealed.

So, he’d rather take the blame than let Marguerite face public humiliation.

He had to admit that the child Marguerite carried was his.

Misunderstandings often stemmed from a lack of communication. Marguerite was unaware of Frederick’s true intentions, and she kept her own feelings to herself.

Both of them fell silent, neither one willing to break the quiet.

In her distress, Marguerite silently shed tears. She couldn’t persuade Frederick, but perhaps Jocelyn would understand!

She discreetly texted Jocelyn, concisely explaining the evening’s events.

It took a while before Jocelyn replied: “If this can salvage the company’s reputation, I support Frederick’s decision.”

Marguerite was stunned.
