Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 209

Robert was speechless.

Is that it? Is that her reaction?

In order to keep her by Frederick's side, Robert didn't even shy away from using his illness as a bargaining chip.

Doesn't Marguerite feel even a tiny bit of sympathy?

Damn it!

It's bad enough that Frederick can't face his feelings, but Marguerite isn't helping either!

He's torn between two sides, and in the end, he's pleasing neither.

After saying her piece, Marguerite turned and left. Her steps were decisive and unyielding, without a hint of hesitation or regret.

She had already promised Jocelyn and made her decision in her heart.

Since the outcome was already decided, she didn't want to dwell on it. That would only cause her to lose more than she gained.

And once the divorce agreement was signed, it seemed like Frederick was deliberately avoiding her. Marguerite hadn't seen Frederick at the mansion for several days, and even at the company, she could only catch a glimpse of his back.

Marguerite got used to this lifestyle and focused all her attention on the Polar Radiance perfume project.

For the first time, she was in charge of everything. There was a lot to do, and the pressure was immense. The company provided her with a secretary to assist her.

One day, her secretary, Hannah, walked into the office with a stack of documents, her face troubled. "Ms. Lockwood, our representative went to speak with Garnett at the Grandeur Square Mall about leasing space yesterday, and it seems like he doesn't want to continue working with us."

Marguerite was immediately alarmed, "Why? We have a long-term contract with the Grandeur Square Mall. They want to break the contract before the lease is up?"

It's no wonder Marguerite reacted so strongly. All of the LuxeScents International's products, whether they're aromatherapy or perfume, are sold in physical stores.

Although they are well-known, they use a strategy of scarcity marketing. By limiting the supply of their products, they tap into the customers' fear of missing out.

Therefore, LuxeScents International signed an exclusive agreement with Grandeur Square Mall for their domestic sales. All of their domestic products are sold at Grandeur Square Mall.

If Grandeur Square Mall breaks the contract, LuxeScents International will lose its distribution channel, and the launch of Polar Radiance perfume in the country will be impossible.

Until now, the two of them hadn't officially met. Marguerite's understanding of Lisette was limited to the information Miley had gathered. But Marguerite wasn't surprised.

After all, news of her pregnancy had stirred up the Winston family. Her reputation probably preceded her.

Marguerite looked at her, "Can I help you?"

Lisette sneered, deliberately dragging out her words, "I just wanted to see what the woman who made Frederick so mad that he had a heart attack looks like. But, Frederick's taste has always been worse than Maurice's. Him choosing you as a wife is no surprise."

Suddenly, Marguerite felt a lump in her throat.

Did this woman find it amusing to elevate one person while belittling another?

But Lisette was her elder, so Marguerite swallowed her anger and remained silent.

Seeing Marguerite's reaction, Lisette didn't continue her tirade.

She turned around and walked away. After a few steps, she suddenly turned back and laughed, her body shaking with mirth. "By the way, tell Frederick to be prepared. Within a month, he'll be ruined."
