Chapter 40

In the middle of their conversation, Robert had quickly driven back to Sapphire Valley Estates.

Sadie and Chuck, along with the medical team, had been waiting at the door for quite a while. As soon as Frederick got out of the car carrying Marguerite, the nurse rushed over with the stretcher.

Frederick carefully put Marguerite on the bed, then turned to Chuck. His tone was icy. “Come with me to the study.”

Chuck followed him without a word.

In a huff, Frederick lit up a cigar and commanded, “Dig into the relationship between Marguerite and the Lockwood family.”

“Mr. Winston, I’m on it!” Then Chuck left at once.
