Bride Behind The Mask (Frederick and Marguerite)

Chapter 553

Chapter 553

The crowd gasped in shock, turning their heads to look at Marguerite.

Marguerite herself was completely baffled, at a loss as to why Manley would say such a thing.

When had she ever hit him?

He had just been discharged from the hospital the day before, and she had gone to the office yesterday, not even

having the chance to be alone with him!

What was even more surprising was that, at this moment, Yuna didn’t explode with anger. Instead, she wrapped

Manley in her arms and asked softly, “Sweetie, did you have a nightmare last night? Tell me, what happened?”

Manley looked at Marguerite with pitiful eyes, then quickly glanced away in fear, beads of sweat rolling down his

forehead.

“It wasn’t… it wasn’t a nightmare… Aunt Marguerite hit me! She… she choked me and said… said Daddy was going

to kick me and mommy out, never to let us come back…

Marguerite was confused as she urgently tried to clear her name, “Manley, are you sure you didn’t get it wrong?

How could I possibly hit you?”

Manley’s shoulders quivered as he saw Marguerite approach, and he scurried away in panic, clinging tightly to

Yuna’s waist from behind.

Maurice furrowed his brow, observing the situation, then lowered his eyes to Teresa, “Did Manley bully you?”

Teresa was just as confused, looking at Manley as if he were possessed.

“Manley didn’t bully me. Yesterday while playing, he accidentally tripped me.”

Upon hearing this, Yuna’s anger visibly flared.

She stood up in outrage, her expression dramatically exaggerated, “Oh, so Marguerite! My son accidentally tripped

your daughter, and you had the heart to be so rough with him? He’s only a three-year-old child, how could you lay a

hand on him?”

Out of nowhere, Marguerite was at a loss for words. For a moment, she couldn’t think of any way to prove her

innocence. She hadn’t laid a finger on Manley, of that she was certain!

Was Manley lying? But that didn’t make sense!

Back in the hospital, she had gotten along well with Manley.

The little boy had even trusted her enough to share his favorite toy with her.

But now, with his accusations, not only was Marguerite perplexed, she was also helpless.

She racked her brains for a long time, and although she couldn’t find any evidence, her sincere eyes were steady

and unflinching, “Believe it or not, but I absolutely did not touch your son.”

Yuna’s eyes were filled with rage, her tone accusatory as if channeling a scorned woman, “You didn’t touch him?

Then why would he say you hit him out of the blue? Are you suggesting he’s lying?”

Marguerite looked at Manley, seeing the little guy trembling and cowering behind Yuna, not looking like he was lying

at all. If she weren’t the one being accused, she probably would have believed his story as well.
