Chapter 544
Yuna poured her heart out, tears streaming down her face like pearls slipping off a string, sobbing until she was
gasping for breath!
How could Hackett stand to see his daughter in such a pitiful state?
He had no idea that the hardships his daughter had been enduring were far greater and more challenging than he
had ever imagined. And the one who started this whole mess was that woman named Marguerite!
Damn it! They say birds of a feather flock together, and Marguerite seemed to have inherited every nasty trait
from the Lockwood family!
He would not allow Marguerite to walk all over his daughter like this!
He had been absent from her life for a full 25 years, but from now on, he would move heaven and earth to elevate
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther in every way possible, whether it be her career or her love life!
He would do everything in his power to make his daughter’s wishes come true!
Hackett gently rubbed Yuna’s trembling back with a resolve that had already made up his mind, “Since you love him
that much, I, as your father, will certainly give you a hand! Powell and I go way back, and he owes me a couple of
favors.”
Yuna internally rejoiced, thinking that she finally had him hooked!
She immediately looped her arm through Hackett’s, playfully chiding with a giggle, “Dad! I knew you were the best!
You look so cool helping me out, just like Freddie!”
Hackett affectionately tapped Yuna’s forehead, teasing her, “Don’t drink too much. Look at you, seeing things! What
would the staff say if they saw you like this?”
Suddenly, Yuna paused, a lightbulb going off in her head.
What Hackett just said just gave her an idea. A grand scheme swiftly took shape in her
mind!
She thought she knew exactly how to play her cards to utterly tarnish Marguerite’s reputation…
Upstairs.
Marguerite, who was tapping away at her computer in her office, jolted in her seat.
The movement was a bit exaggerated, catching Frederick’s attention from across the
room.
With his arms crossed, he spoke in his measured tone, “The company pays you a handsome salary, not for
daydreaming on the job.”

Marguerite muttered defensively. “I’m not daydreaming, just had a little shiver.”

She couldn’t even shiver without it being a whole thing? What a tyrant!
“If you’re not daydreaming, then when can I expect the project report for the new blush development?”
Marguerite’s fingers stalled on the keyboard, and she turned to meet Frederick’s lazy gaze, “The report is in Yuna’s
office, but she disposed of all my belongings.”
Frederick assumed this was just an excuse, his mood souring slightly, “No excuses! I gave you a week to work on
that report, and now you’re trying to brush me off by saying it was thrown away?”
“The report was done ages ago!”
Marguerite stood her ground, but as she locked eyes with him again, she couldn’t help but feel a bit petulant,
“Besides, didn’t I spend last week… looking after Hayes in the hospital…”
Marguerite!” Frederick called her name sharply.
Seeing he was about to lose his cool, Marguerite quickly opened a Word document and began typing furiously, “I
remember everything. I’ll just rewrite it, okay?”
Frederick remained silent.
