Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 263

Marguerite cried until her voice was hoarse, until no sound could escape her throat.

Tears fell like a dam had burst.

She sobbed uncontrollably, repeating over and over again, "Laverne was my grandma, she was my real grandma..."

Frederick gently pulled Marguerite back into his arms, soothingly patting her back as he reaffirmed, "Yes, yes, Laverne was, she always be your grandma."

Despite his comforting words, surprise and confusion swirled in his eyes.

He remembered this wasn't the first time that Marguerite had claimed Laverne as her grandmother.

The last time was in the hospital, after Laverne had a near-death experience. The Ablett couple had provided a detailed explanation, and when Laverne awoke, she didn't recognize Marguerite. So naturally, he had believed them.

But now, with Laverne's passing, Marguerite was making the claim again. The fervor in her voice, the determination in her demeanor, it didn't seem like she was lying.

What could possibly be going wrong?

Could there be secrets between Marguerite and Laverne that he wasn't privy to?

He had to get to the bottom of it.

Back at the mansion, Marguerite was exhausted. He put her to bed gently, then summoned Chuck to his study.

"Look into the relationship between Marguerite and Laverne again," he commanded, his handsome face hardened by the pain of Laverne's passing.

"Yes, Mr. Winston," Chuck quickly responded, preparing to leave the study to start his investigation.

But just as he reached the door, Frederick's sharp voice called him back. "What about the investigation into Yuna's sister? Any leads?"

Chuck paused, turned around, and reported, "Mr. Winston, I found out that Zoe had given birth at a small clinic in Marina Shores Village. I'm currently trying to locate her. I believe we'll have results soon."

If the truth was as Marguerite claimed, that Laverne was her biological grandmother, that would mean Marguerite and Yuna were sisters, sharing the same bloodline.

If that was the case, had the Lockwood family been lying to him all along?

What else had they lied about?

Could it be that the person who saved his life fifteen years ago was Marguerite, not Yuna?

The more Frederick thought, the more frustrated he became. Without any leads, he needed evidence to support his suspicions.

From now on, he would not trust a word from the Lockwood family.

Evidence.

That's all he would rely on.
