"Have you seen this before?" Miley excitedly moved closer to Marguerite, her face filled with urgency.
Marguerite, however, was frowning, pinching her temples, her lips tightly closed. She couldn't recall where she had seen the cufflink before.
Growing impatient, Miley quickly cupped Marguerite's face in her hands. "Spit it out! You're killing me with suspense!"
Marguerite blinked and said, "The more I look at this cufflink, the more familiar it seems, but I can't remember where I've seen it."
Miley sighed deeply in disappointment and sat down next to Marguerite.
This woman, why does she always drop the ball at crucial moments!
There's a saying that a woman's IQ drops when she's pregnant, and Miley felt that it applied perfectly to Marguerite.
"Forget it, I'll take this photo to the suit store later and see if anyone knows anything." Miley went silent for a moment, then looked at Marguerite, "What's your next move?"
After days of running around, Marguerite was worn out. She had finally found a job at a bar, only to lose it because of Ablett and his gang.
"I'm at my wit's end, what else can I do?"
She said weakly, even speaking seemed to drain her. Miley worried that Marguerite would be crushed under the immense mental pressure, she immediately grasped Marguerite's shoulders, trying to fire her up.
"Marguerite, look at me! Life has its ups and downs, but you have to keep going, you need to pull yourself together!"
Marguerite lifted her head to look at her, completely drained. "Then what should I do next?"
"Besides investigating the cufflink, we need to find out who the baby's father is. I've given it some thought, getting the surveillance footage from the Regal Haven Hotel won't be easy, but they keep records of their guests. Tomorrow, you go apply for a receptionist job at the Regal Haven Hotel! Once we have the guest record of the person who stayed in room 1205, we'll find our target!"
Of course! Why didn't she think of this brilliant idea!
In the past few days, she had seen it no less than ten times. That was why she always wore a mask before returning to the apartment, afraid that Chuck would recognize her.
Marguerite was planning to ignore it like she usually did, but after a few steps, she stopped, thought for a moment, then turned around and walked towards the luxury car.
Her slender fingers started knocking on the window, the person inside quickly rolled down the window, looking at Marguerite with a smile. "Marguerite? What a coincidence, what are you doing here?"
Marguerite replied without expression, "It's not a coincidence. I know you were sent to follow me, tell Frederick that I don't know who the father of the child is, and I don't have any secret lovers. So, stop following me, it's pointless."
Chuck's smile turned awkward, but Marguerite had already turned and walked away.
Her frail figure walking on the bustling street might not stand out in the crowd, but she seemed strong and unyielding.
Chuck's face instantly changed, and he didn't know what to express. As soon as Marguerite got on the bus, he immediately started his engine and followed her again.
