Bride Behind The Mask Novel

Chapter 555

Frederick’s words cut the air like a bone-chilling gust, his dark murmurs sending shivers down Yuna’s spine.

She felt a shiver run through her, despite the warmth of the room, as Frederick’s piercing gaze bore into her. What on earth did Freddie mean by that? Had he discovered that she drugged Manley’s milk last night?

But if he knew, how could he be so eerily calm in her presence? It didn’t make sense!

Yuna’s heart fluttered in confusion, and she stood frozen in place, unable to move or think. Frederick, meanwhile, glanced at her sharply, his eyes burning with an unspoken message. He then picked up little Teresa to leave the bedroom. As he brushed past Yuna, he suddenly stopped, his voice low and fraught with warning, “If I catch you filling Manley’s head with lies and coaching him to deceive again, I’ll make sure you’ll never inherit a dime from the Fitzgerald estate!”

With those final words, he strode away decisively.
