Bride behind the mask novel (Marguerite) novel Chapter 678

The crowd turned their attention toward the pair.

Upon seeing it was Violet, Marguerite rushed forward and immediately positioned herself in front of Violet to protect her.

"Don't you dare slander her!"

Yuna reacted explosively, "She's your accomplice? Marguerite! What have I ever done to you to make you hate me this much? How could you be so venomous? You actually had someone poison me!"

Marguerite didn't even spare Yuna a glance. Instead, she turned to Violet and asked, "What's really going on? Did you actually give her vitamins?"

Violet's eyes were wide with fear and helplessness, her gaze filled with an innocence that couldn't be washed away even if she drowned in the Mississippi River. Her voice trembled as she tried to steady it, "Marguerite, didn’t you ask me to remind you to take your vitamins? After the time you specified, I went looking for you with the vitamins. I didn’t expect you and her to look so alike, I mistook her for you and ended up giving her a vitamin... But I swear, it was just a regular bottle of vitamins."

Upon hearing this, Yuna, as if having caught Marguerite's weakness, became even more agitated. "Did you hear that? Did you? Even she admits she gave me something. What more is there to say, Marguerite? She was following your orders!"

Marguerite felt a headache coming on, "How do hallucinations have anything to do with vitamins?"

"Why would it be vitamins? I say, that was your specially crafted poison! Otherwise, why would I start having hallucinations out of nowhere? Explain that!"

"I took the same vitamins, and I'm fine. How do you explain that?"

"Who knows? It's definitely you! It has to be!"

Yuna was determined to argue, even without reason. Just as she was about to continue her tirade against Marguerite, Penelope suddenly appeared, wrapping her arms around Marguerite from behind and staring at her with bloodshot eyes, an eerie smile on her face.

The murmurs around Marguerite were unbearably loud, and her heart sank. She would rather be misunderstood and questioned than have this drama unfold at Penelope's funeral! Filled with shame and self-reproach, she was at a loss for words.

Robert stepped in to protect Marguerite, arguing, "My mom's death has nothing to do with Marguerite! Stop causing trouble here for no reason!"

Yuna was furious. "Brother! Your sister is me, not her! Why do you always defend her? On the day mom had the accident, I saw the police take her away! You say mom's death has nothing to do with her, but where’s your proof?"

Just then, a file was thrown at Yuna, hitting her squarely. Fuming, Yuna was determined to confront whoever dared to throw something at her! But as she turned, she locked eyes with Frederick’s piercing gaze.

"Freddie?"

"Does a police clearance not count as evidence?"
