Bride behind the mask novel (Marguerite) novel Chapter 236

What the hell are you implying, Missy?” Powell growled, punctuating each word.

Marguerite blinked, “Just as I said, Mr. Powell. No hidden meanings.”

Lisette, idly resting her arms, crossed them over her chest, looking down on Marguerite from her lofty position. “Marguerite, don’t you dare drag Maurice into this. If you’re dreaming of becoming the lady of our house, you’d best leave Maurice out of it.”

Lisette’s gaze was cool and unnerving, but Marguerite didn’t flinch. “Lisette, it’s clear that Maurice’s company replacing Frederick’s partnership with Grandeur Square Mall was under your help, wasn’t it?”

Even though all the photos on her phone were mysteriously deleted, she’d caught Lisette red-handed on a secret rendezvous with Garnett. Why

Lisette ignored Jocelyn’s pleas, pointing at Marguerite furiously. “I’ve had enough of your nonsense, Marguerite!”
