Marguerite was left in a daze by a sudden smack to the face Clutching her throbbing cheek, she finally saw who had <b>hit </b><b>her </b>
<b>Ables </b><b>and </b>Zoe
Rage swept over hes like a storm. <b>The </b>fire in Marguerite’s eyes was burning brightly, ready to scorch the duo into ashes.
How <b>dare </b><b>you</b>? Who <b>gave </b>you the right <b>to </b>re <b>at </b><b>your </b>mother like that?” <b>Zoe </b>demanded, bristling with anger.
You’re not my mom anymore, Marguerite shot back.
<b>“</b><b>How </b><b>dare you </b><b>talk </b>back <b>to </b><b>me</b><b>? </b>You need a lesson!”
As Zoe <b>raised </b><b>her </b><b>hand </b>again to sinke Marguerite<b>, </b>she swiftly dodged<b>, </b>leaving Zoe tosh out at thin air, which only made her angrier
It wasn’t that Marguerite didn’t <b>want </b><b>to </b>fight back. It was just she <b>didn’t </b>want to give Zoe an excuse toin as a customer and <b>put </b>her job at nisk
<b>Seeing </b>this, Ablett <b>grabbed </b>Marguerite by the cor from behind and threw her <b>into </b>a corner of the alley
<b>They </b><b>were </b>here to make Marguerite put on a mask. This ce was teeming with people, if Marguerite put on the mask in public, word could get back to Mr.
Winston
“You’ve gone too <b>far</b>! I’ve already cut ties <b>with </b>you <b>and </b>left the mansion. Whether I wear a mask or not is my decision!”
Marguente stumbled a few steps before regaining her bnce, being in the shadows, she had nothing to fear
“Your decision? What right do you have to make decisions? Don’t want to wear the mask? Fine! Then get out of Stonebridge City, the farther the better, and don’t let us see you again”
Marguerite scoffed, “Want me <b>to </b>leave? Alright! Give me some money to live on, and I’ll go!”
Even though Marguerite didn’t know why the Lockwoods were so desperate to get rid of her, she did know that nothinges without a price
So, she decided not to make things easy for them.
Upon hearing this, Zoe’s eyes bulged, “You’re asking me for money? I gave you life, and not asking for anything in return is already a mercy! What right do you have to ask us for anything?<b>” </b>
Then don’t expect me to leave!” Marguerite said, resisting the urge tosh out, her voice firm and strong
<b>“</b><b>You</b>…” Zoe was too angry to speak.
In the tense atmosphere, Ablett shoved Marguerite and threw a brand new mask onto her face.
“If you insist on staying, then wear the mask. Stop wasting our time, we don’t want to argue with you.”
The mask lightly hit Marguerite’s face, but her heart ached as if it had been cut by a knife.
Even though she had long given up hope on the couple, every time they treated her like an animal, her heart still hurt.
She never experienced any love despite having parents
She was in so much pain!
“Marguerite, just a reminder, your grandmother is still living in the mansion! Now Yuna and Mr. Winston are together, they cane and go from the mansion without any formalities. If we wanted to make trouble for your grandmother, it would be too easy!”
Damn it!
They were threatening her with her grandmother again!
Her grandmother was the light in her heart, and she had to protect her grandmother!
Shaking. Marguente picked up the mask from the ground and put it on, clutching it tightly, “How long do I have to wear this mask?”
Zoe sneered, “Until the day you die! Bitch!
Marguerite leaned against the wall, feeling weak. Seeing her powerless to fight back, the couple left triumphantly
With the mask on, Marguente couldn’t keep her job
Lily wouldn’t want an ugly woman working here.
Marguente had to cover her face, return to the break room, change into her regr clothes under the pretense of quitting, and then rush back to her apartment.
When Miley saw Marquentes hideous face <b>again</b>, she frowned in displeasure, “Why did you put your mask on again?”
“Zoe care to the bar to find me and we had a big fight. I had to put it back on for my grandma”
That evil woman threatened you with your grandma again?”
Marguerite copsed onto the sofa and silently sipped her water. “Yes”
Miley rolled her eyes in frustration, ran into the bedroom and pulled out a photo to give to Marquente, “We need to figure out what’s going on Luckily, an online friend has restored the photo, take a look
Marquente took the photo and it was much clearer than before
“The man has his back to the camera. I’ve looked at it all day and still can’t tell who it is!
The photo was very clear after restoration!
Even the cutsinks under the man’s suit were clearly visible.
The round base with a crown shaped pattern, it was very well made and obviously expensive
