Bride behind the mask novel (Marguerite) novel Chapter 653

Zoe's face turned as green as freshly mown grass in an instant. Her mouth hung open, but not a single word managed to escape. This is it. It's all over! How in the world did Penelope sneak in? Did she hear everything Zoe just said to Yuna? Zoe's brain went into overdrive, desperately trying to come up with a story to smooth things over.

But Penelope, cold as ice, brushed past Zoe and strode into the living room, her eyes blazing with fury as she confronted Yuna:

"Yuna, you're only 25, so young yet your heart is darker than anyone's! How could you do such things? Not only did you snatch away Marguerite's child, but you also took my daughter's place!"

Zoe's mind buzzed, and she hurried forward to explain:

"Ma'am! There's been a misunderstanding! You got it all wrong! It was all a joke between me and Yuna! You can't take what we said seriously!"

Penelope couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity:

"After all that's been said and done, you really think you can play me for a fool? The venom in your words outside was palpable. Do I need to spell it out for you?"

Yuna, initially a bit guilty, realized that it didn't matter now that Penelope had heard everything. No matter how Zoe tried to explain, it was all in vain! And truly, Yuna was fed up with Penelope's aggressive demeanor. She wasn't her mother. Who was she to scold her?

What a joke!

Fueled by anger, Yuna let loose, not caring about the consequences:

As soon as she finished speaking, Zoe threw herself at Penelope's feet, begging for mercy:

"Ma'am, Yuna and I realize our mistake. I know I've committed a grave sin that can never be undone! Please, ma'am, have mercy. We're prepared to serve you for the rest of our lives to make amends! Please, have mercy!"

Zoe began to knock her head on the floor in desperation. Penelope, heartbroken and furious, stepped back and said through clenched teeth:

"Maybe in another life."

With that, she swiftly left the room. Penelope was at a loss on how to handle the situation, but she knew she had to find Marguerite right away and tell her the truth about everything.
