Bride behind the mask novel (Marguerite) novel Chapter 590

Hackett stormed into the villa with his wife and daughter, striding ahead without a care for the chaos that surrounded them. The living room was abuzz with a flurry of servants and staff, so busy that no one noticed the Fitzgeralds' arrival.

Hackett scanned the room until his eyes landed on Marguerite, standing just behind Frederick. Without a word, he lunged forward, grabbed Marguerite's shoulders with one hand, and raised the other, poised to strike.

Frederick moved with lightning speed, seizing the old man's still-strong arm. "You think you can touch her without going through me?" he barked.

Hackett struggled to free his arm from Frederick's grip, cursing, "Going through you? Since when do I need your permission? Marguerite is your sister-in-law, for God's sake! And let's not forget, Yuna here is your fiancée!"

Penelope, shocked, quickly stepped in to pull her husband away, apologizing rapidly, "I'm so sorry, Frederick. Hackett's had a bit too much to drink. Please don't take it to heart."

Yuna, meanwhile, couldn't take her eyes off Marguerite, her gaze incredulous. Had Frederick not punished Marguerite? How could this woman not have a scratch on her? And why was he defending her?

What was going on? Where was Maurice in all of this? Couldn't someone just drag this eyesore away already?
