Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 550

Chapter 550

In the evening, the dining room of the grand estate was winding down for the night.

Marguerite had not come down for dinner, and as the last of the guests trickled out, the servants began to clear

away the remains of the feast.

Sadie placed three glasses of milk on a wooden tray and set them on the dining table before returning to the

kitchen to prepare desserts.

Meanwhile, Yuna slinked by, a white pill clutched in her fist, her eyes darting nervously to the sleek black frosted

glass that seemed to beckon her with its opaque sheen. Her mind wandered back to the afternoon phone call with

Zoe-

“The pills you asked for have been delivered. They’re herbal, harmless to the body, and when mixed with milk, they

induce vivid hallucinations. But the headaches they cause can be severe.”

Yuna’s eyes, shadowed with malice, betrayed her inner turmoil, “I understand.”

Zoe seemed even more anxious than Yuna, “Are you sure you want to do this? You do realize he is your…”

“Mom! I’ve made up my mind!”

“Have you really thought this through?”

That question still echoed, unanswered, in Yuna’s mind. Could she really be this cruel?

own flesh and blood?

Her heart ached with the thought, her body shaking uncontrollably with twisted emotions. If Freddie ever found out,

she wouldn’t just be outcast from the Winston Mansion-she’d be a pariah in all of Stonebridge City! But if she did

nothing, that bitch Marguerite would triumph!

Knowing her nemesis as she did, Yuna was certain Marguerite wouldn’t rest until she was destroyed. It was, after

all, a fight to the death.

Why shouldn’t she strike first? She could not, would not, lose to that wretched Marguerite!

The heirloom of the Fitzgerald family was hers by right; Freddie’s wife could only be her!

Everything Marguerite had, Yuna was determined to seize!

With resolve hardening in her voice, Yuna prepared to drop the pill, but at the last moment, hesitation seized her

once again…

Caught in her internal struggle, she didn’t notice Sadie approaching from behind.

“Ms. Yuna, is everything all right?”

Startled, Yuna’s fingers involuntarily released their grip-

The white pill slipped silently into the black frosted glass.
