Chapter 479

At the same time, after leaving Frederick’s company, Robert headed straight to Poppy Petal Fragrances.

If it hadn’t been for Miley’s slip of the tongue on the phone, he wouldn’t have

khown that his mother had actually managed to get Marguerite to work for the company.

There were two separate glass-walled offices facing each other; one belonging to his mother, the other to

Marguerite.

Through the transparent windows, Robert nodded to Marguerite before striding into Penelope’s office.

“Ms. Penelope, did you really take one of my peo

Robert didn’t beat around the bush as he walked in.

“Ms. Penelope? Show some respect, young man!” Penelope chided Robert, then chuckled, “And since when is

everyone ‘your people’? But you’re too late, Marguerite is with me

now.”

Robert couldn’t help but glance over at Marguerite in the neighboring glass office as he leaned forward with both

hands on Penelope’s desk, “You knew very well that I was grooming Marguerite for a position at Thunderbolt

Enterprises. How could you think of undercutting me like this?”

Penelope just smiled, “Frederick and Marguerite are now living at the Winston Mansion. Isn’t that enough for them?

They don’t need to be glued at the hip at work too. Distance makes the heart grow fonder! It’s better for

was both annoyed and perplexed, “Why must it be Marguerite? We have plenty of talented designers. It’s not like

we have to have her”

“Don’t you know that more talent is always better? Besides, in the twenty-odd years since Poppy Petal Fragrances

was established, I’ve never encountered someone whose taste is so similar to mine and who satisfies my

expectations like Marguerite does. The moment I smelled her Polar Radiance, I knew she was the one. She feels so

familiar; I like her!”

“But even if you liked her, you shouldn’t have given her Nina’s spot! You’ve been holding on to that position for over

twenty years, and now you’re handing it over to an outsider? Where are you going to place Nina when she

returns?”

Penelope spoke with conviction, but faced with Robert’s question, she couldn’t find a suitable answer. When she was

initiating Marguerite that morning, she couldn’t help but think of the position originally reserved for Nina.

Firstly, Marguerite’s capabilities were a perfect fit for the job. Secondly, the office for this position was right next to

her own. She couldn’t explain it, but something compelled her to want to see Marguerite at all times..

As for the rest, she really hadn’t thought it through..

Penelope remained silent, and Robert helplessly shook his head..

He wanted to chide his mother for her foolishness, but at that moment his phone buzzed. He took it out and saw a

message from Teresa along with a picture.

[Don’t worry, I won’t tell Mommy who your sister is until you figure it out yourself! That’s all the help I can offer; I

didn’t expect this situation either.]

Robert was baffled.

What did Teresa mean by this? What did this have to do with Marguerite?”

Confused, he opened the picture. Upon a closer look, he froze as if petrified.

He spun around, comparing the woman in the picture on his screen to Marguerite, who was working in the next

office, his eyes widening in astonishment.

After a long moment, he handed the phone to Penelope with a trembling hand.

“Mom, we found Nina…” As the truth was on the verge of being revealed, his emotions were not as jubilant as he

had anticipated.

Penelope, overjoyed, quickly took the phone to look at the photo.

Unlike Robert’s shock, Penelope was visibly moved, her eyes brimming with tears. “That’s mother’s intuition! I knew

there was a reason I liked Marguerite so much; she is my daughter!”

Penelope stood up immediately, ready to rush out and recognize Marguerite as her kin, but Robert held her back

with a look of unbearable sorrow.

As much as he wanted to preserve his mother’s happy illusion, he had to reveal the truth, “Marguerite has a twin

sister, identical to her. How can you be so sure that the person in the photo is Marguerite?”
