Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 157

Robert and Frederick had been buddies for almost two decades. Robert knew Frederick so well that he could pick him out of a pile of ash.

So, when Robert had just finished restoring a photo, he immediately recognized the figure in it. That unyielding silhouette was Frederick himself.

Frederick took a glance at the photo, his eyes were very sharp.

"Frederick, you're being snooped on," Robert declared steadfastly.

Frederick had an aura that was rather unsettling, "Is Maurice Winston behind this?"

Robert shook his head, "Not sure. The photo was brought to me by a woman. Are you suspecting she's Maurice's henchwoman?"

"What's her name?"

"She goes by Smiley online. I don't know her real name," Robert crossed his arms, his alert expression indicating deep thought. "But if she's really Maurice's henchwoman, this is a sloppy job. My contact details are no secret, and our friendship is common knowledge. Would Maurice be dumb enough to ask me to investigate you? I doubt it."

Frederick rubbed his temples, his gaze piercing. He was about to dial a number on the landline when Robert reached over and hung up the phone.

The man looked up, his puzzled eyes brimming with anger.

Robert knew he wanted to dig into this matter and, without a doubt, he would end up tracing it back to Smiley.

But having known Smiley for two years, Robert found her to be easygoing and a bit scatterbrained, not at all the scheming type.

He feared this might be a misunderstanding and he didn't want to harm an innocent person.

After all, Frederick's methods were not something an ordinary person could handle.

"So this is Yuna's home?"

"Mhm."

Robert immediately furrowed his brows, his face changing.

"This is even weirder. If it's Maurice, he's investigating you to bring you down, he could just go to Yuna directly. Why bother restoring a blurry photo? Makes no sense."

At this point, Robert was genuinely confused about their opponent's background.

Just then, Frederick's phone suddenly rang.

He pulled it out and saw it was a call from Sapphire Valley Estates. As soon as he answered, he heard Sadie's urgent and anxious voice: "Mr. Winston! Please come home ASAP, there's been an incident with the Ma'am!"
