Bride Behind The Mask Novel

Chapter 19

The guy was full of intimidation. Although Marguerite was a bit rattled, she quickly clarified, “It was Mr. Fitzgerald who brought me here.”

Frederick’s face changed slightly, his eyes sparking like a torch. This Robert was a real pain in the ass. He shot Marguerite a glare before ringing up Robert, his irate voice loaded with gunpowder, “I need an explanation!”

Robert chuckled on the other end of the line, responding with a jest, “You got it all wrong! Marguerite is your wife, yet you let me handle her. I thought to myself, that I can’t stash someone else’s wife at my place, can I?”
