Bride Behind The Mask

Chapter 300

Three years later.

In the depths of winter

After a whole night of heavy snowfall, it finally ceased at the break of dawn

The sun’s reflection on the snow made the spacious kitchen, surrounded by windows on three sides, even brighter

Marguerite’s chestnut hair had grown long, cascading over her shoulders like sik. She had to brush it aside while eating, so it wouldnt obstruct her view

“When are you going to start working at Fragrance Finesse?‘ Maurice’s voice was nonchalant as Marguerite looked up at him, “I’m doing pretty well at Luxe Scents International.”

Three years ago, she had given birth to twins. The eldest mysteriously disappeared, leaving her and Maurice to raise their daughter Teresa together They never got married, maintaining a facade of a couple in front of their daughter, playing their roles with an adult’s dignity But privately, she despised Maurice.

She couldn’t understand why he insisted on keeping her around, continuously pushing her to work at Fragrance Finesse

Of course, Marguerite refused.

LuxeScents International held traces of Frederick, her lost love. Each time she sat in the office, she felt as if he was right there beside her

She had thought her love for him would fade with time, but it was more like a bottle of aged wine. The longer the time, the richer and more poignant it became

Marguente missed him so much that it was killing her, and she dreamt of him every night

That’s why she was determined to stay at LuxeScents International, where she could reminisce about their shared memories

But with Frederick’s departure, LuxeScents International had been in a slump, lasing its past glory

“Except for the CEO position, you can have any position you want at Fragrance Finesse”

Maunde put down his cutlery, looking at Marguerite with an air of superiority

For you, work might be a casual choice, but to me, it’s a way to prove my abilities. Luxe Scents International is my faith, and I wont leave

Maurice’s domineering attitude always reminded her of Frederick

They shared the same commanding CEO demeanor, yet Frederick respected her dignity.

Frederick wouldn’t arbitrarily give her promotions and raises. Each reward was just, allowing her to experience the confidence and joy of a common person’s growth. But Maurice seemed to be reminding her intentionally that everything she and her daughter owned now was his charity

Marguente hated how Maurice always treated her as if he held her life in his hands This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“So, you plan to guard your old lover’s nearly bankrupt company for the rest of your life?”

Enraged, Marguerite slammed the table, “LuxeScents International is falling all because of you!“”

The confrontation between the two was intense. It was as if a line of fire was drawn between their eyes, sparking with tension.

“Daddy, Mommy” The sweet voice of their daughter, accompanied by the sound of her cheerful footsteps, interrupted them

Teresa, dressed in a pink kindergarten uniform, ran towards Marguerite with her tablet in hand. “Mommy, look, this bracelet is so furt can we buy it for me?r

Marguerite scooped Teresa onto her lap, glancing over her pig–tailed head at the screen, seeing an advertisement for an auctioni

the bracelet

“Mommy, this bracelet is so high–tech. It has a string of buttons that you can twist, and you can only unlock the bracelet if you input the correct password I really like it” The little girl chattered excitedly, thrusting the image closer to Marguerite

For some reason, Marguerite, who usually showed no interest in jewelry, found herself liking this bracelet it gave her a sense of famhanty

Her daughter wanted it, and she liked it too, so she readily agreed to the request

Maurice glanced at the tablet, Tll take you to the auction next week”

Marguerite was still furning and didn’t respond to him. She quickly fed her daughter breakfast, then let the maid Nadine take Teresa to kind while she headed to work

Marguente was inherently a nostalgic person, Even though she had earned some money, she still drove the second hand car that Jocelyn had left her

Emerald Meadows wasn’t far from the Sapphire Valley Estates Every time she went to work, Marguerite would intentionally pass by the mansion

Several times, she saw real estate agents showing people around the mansion Later, she found out that the owner was trying to sell it, intending to settle down in Vespera But no one seemed interested in buying the mansion.

The roads were slippery due to the snow, and Marguerite drove slowly

As she passed Sapphire Valley Estates, she saw the side door of the mansion open, with a few workers inside

In the distance, she caught a glimpse of a Cullinan parked inside the mansion

Marguerite’s heart skipped a beat, and she slammed on the brakes.
