Bride behind the mask novel (Marguerite) novel Chapter 738

"Are we really going to the Mayor's wife's birthday bash? Do we have to?"

"If you dragged me all the way here, don't start questioning my moves now."

The man's tone was as sharp and impatient as ever.

Marguerite was almost certain, that voice belonged to none other than Maurice and Daphne!

Stumbling upon them in the same boutique was surprise enough for Marguerite, but what truly shocked her was learning they too were invited to Sandra's birthday party.

Stepping out from behind the velvet curtain of the changing room, Marguerite saw Daphne, clinging to Maurice's arm, standing in front of a full-length mirror.

They looked like the perfect couple reflected in the mirror, Daphne leaning into Maurice with a radiant smile, while he remained stoic.

Daphne, ever so sharp-eyed, spotted Marguerite first and snuggled even closer to Maurice, raising her hand in a wave, assuming the air of the main lady of the house.

"Hi~"

Maurice turned, his expression cracking visibly at the sight of Marguerite.

He coldly withdrew his arm from Daphne and made his way towards Marguerite, his voice laden with accusation:

"Frederick dragged you here too?"

Marguerite was thoroughly confused by his astonishment.

Casting a meaningful glance at Daphne, she retorted with a touch of sarcasm:

"Why, can't Frederick do as he pleases just like you do?"

Maurice's gaze darkened with a malicious intensity.

She had played along with his charades before, but the way he used these threats over and over made her blood boil.

Even a cornered dog will leap over a wall in desperation, let alone a human being.

Did he really think he could deceive her forever, playing her for a fool?

Years of resentment and grievance exploded in that moment.

Marguerite forcefully shook off Maurice's hand, grabbed her purse, and pulled out his vasectomy report and a paternity test, hurling them at his face.

"Maurice! Do you really think everyone's going to play along with your charade?

Do you honestly believe I'm oblivious enough to be fooled by you willingly, to accept defeat and marry you?

It's time to wake up from your dream!"
