Chapter 270
The truth was as clear as day. After leaving Thelma’s house, Frederick was eager to rush to the slums of Riverside
Boulevard for an investigation
Upon understanding Frederick’s intent, Chuck hurried forward to stop him, his face full of difficulty
“Mr. Winston, it’s no use going there now You asked me to investigate the slums on Riverside Boulevard before, and
I ve brought back the original file. It’s now gone because i was asked to retrieve it”
Frederick turned to look at him, his piercing gaze making Chuck break out into a cold sweat. “Where is the file
now?”
Chuck swallowed, nervousness making his back slick with sweat.
“You told me then that you were worried Ms. Yuna would be upset if she found out you were investigating her. So
you asked me to dispose of the file… L. I put it through a shredder ”
Damn il!
He had originally focused on Yuna because of the photo in the file. The woman in it looked just like Yuna!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFurthermore, the woman’s last name was the same as Yunas, which made him jump to conclusion without reading
the whole thing
Now, having heard the truth from Thelma, he was sure that the woman who saved his life fifteen years ago was not
Yuna, but someone else
If that was the case, the woman he had slept with two months ago could very likely be that same girl.
A part of the truth was gradually surfacing, but Frederick couldn’t bring himself to feel relieved
When Thelma had told him all this, the first person that came to his mind was Marguente
But Marguerite’s appearance was far from “beautiful: On careful inspection, she seemed rather ill–favored, which
was a far cry from Thelma’s description of “stunning beauty?
So what exactly was the relationship between Laverne and Marguerite? Where had things gone wrong?
Frederick was at a loss.
Seeing Frederick’s silence, Chuck thought that Mr. Winston was angry at him for shredding the file, therefore he
dared not meet the man’s gaze
He could already imagine Mr. Winston’s piercing gaze, and he knew he wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
-Chuck kept his head lowered, about to apologize, when he heard Frederick’s uncertain voice, “The relationship
between Marguerite and Laverne remains a
mystery.
Chuck quickly lifted his head, realizing that Mr Winston was not angry, but full of regret.
He quickly understood that Mr. Winston wished very much that Marguerite was the girl Thelma had described!
His mind worked quickly to come up with the safest answer
“Mr. Winston, could it be that Marguerite was so shocked by Laverne’s death that she began to claim Laverne was
her grandmother?”
Frederick’s face fell at once, his gaze boring into Chuck
Curse it!
What had he just said?
Didn’t that imply Marguente had suffered a mental breakdown, and had become mentally ill…
But, it was a possibility
Chuck lowered his head again, ready to admit his mistake.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Mr. Winston, I spoke out of turn, please don’t take it to heart. I think Marguerite’s words are worth considering I will
definitely take this matter senously and investigate thoroughly!”
“If you dare to talk nonsense again, I’ll have your head!”
“Mr. Winston, I won’t dare to do it again!”
Chuck’s back was soaked with sweat But quickly, he thought of another possibility, He lifted his head slowly,
carefully choosing his words After a long pause, he gathered his courage to speak, “Since Laverne is Marguerite’s
grandmother, and the child who looks exactly like Yuna has always been living with Laverne, where could she have
gone? Do you think Marguerite might have seen her? Shouldn’t we ask Marguerite? Chuck suggested hesitantly
Frederick had thought about it, but it wasn’t the right time to ask Marguerite was still Immersed in profound grief,
and Frederick felt a deep sympathy for her That’s why he couldn’t bring himself to ask her such a question now
“Let’s discuss it after the funeral,” Frederick said, effectively silencing Chuck
Although he wanted to suggest that Mr. Winston could confront thet ockwoods and demand the truth, Chuck
thought better of it
After all, he had learned today that the Lockwoods had not been honest with Mr. Winston
Mr. Winston revealed his hand, they would probably spin an even bigger web of hes
