Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 185

"My bestie is..."

Miley was about to blurt out her friend's name when she suddenly decided against it, swallowing the word "Marguerite" before it could escape her lips.

If she were to tell Mr. Fitzgerald that her friend was Marguerite, he would most definitely probe for more information about her.

Would she seriously have to tell him that Marguerite is Frederick's wife?

No, she couldn't.

This man might be to her taste, but she couldn't be so naive as to tell him everything!

She'd have to meet him a few times more, make sure he's trustworthy before she could spill the beans.

Frederick wasn't just anybody! He was a man of great influence in Stonebridge City, akin to a king!

She couldn't just go around blabbering about Mr. Winston and Marguerite to anyone.

Miley, after hesitating for a moment, finally changed the topic in her usual playful manner.

"If you're not willing to tell me your name, that means you don't trust me. And if that's the case, then of course, I don't trust you either! So why should I tell you who my best friend is?

But I can give you a hint, she's really amazing and super beautiful! However, for some reasons, she doesn't look as good as she used to."

Robert was getting tired of this kind of vague description!

"What do you mean by she doesn't look as good as she used to? I remember you told me before that your friend is extremely beautiful. And you even mentioned that whether or not she can restore her looks depends on the picture that I helped restore. What does that mean? Can your friend's appearance change at any time? What does she do?"

Miley chuckled, trying to keep the atmosphere light, "She's a performer in a local theatre, playing different characters every day."

How could she reveal that Marguerite was hiding behind a mask? That's way too important!

But saying that she's an actress wasn't entirely wrong either, they both had to wear masks after all!

However, Miley's playful response did make Robert burst into laughter.

He took a sip of his black tea, and even though he found Miley incredibly cute, he couldn't forget the purpose of his visit.

If Miley's mysterious friend was the one investigating Frederick, then he needed to figure out who this elusive woman was.

He joked, "Next time, bring your friend along. I'd love to see if she's as cute as you."

When he was restoring the picture, he only noticed that the man's back looked similar to Frederick's.

Even he hadn't noticed the details of the crown cufflink.

Did these two women use a magnifying glass or something?

But this did confirm one thing - Miley's friend was desperate to find Frederick!

But before meeting Marguerite, Frederick was notorious for his disinterest in women.

Which woman would need to find him so badly?

But as long as he could keep Miley's trust, he was confident that he could find out who her mysterious friend was!

He pretended to examine the drawing carefully, rubbing his chin thoughtfully, "This kind of cufflink is usually custom-made by wealthy families. The design you have here, it's not something you can buy off the shelf."

"What? I can't buy it?" Miley was disappointed, "Have you seen anything similar then?"

Robert curved his lips into a smile, looking at Miley with amusement, "Never seen it before."
