The waiter served their delicious food at that moment Marguerite, not wanting to respond to Frederick’s words, buried herself in her meal. But as soon as the waiter left, Frederick’s mobile phone rang.

He answered it night in front of Marguerite, his voice gentle, “Just finished work having dinner, no, I’m with Marguerite. we’re catching up…

He suddenly handed the phone to Marguerite. “Yuna wants to have a word with you.”

So the call was from Yuna. No wonder his tone softened a bit. But what could Yuna possibly want to say to her? To show off her happy life these past years, or to mock her for not doing as well?

Marguente instinctively rejected the idea, but she took the phone anyway, her tone mechanical, “Hello?”

“Marguerite, I wanted to say hello yesterday. Did you get the bracelet? Did your daughter like it?”

Marguerite was surprised. Yuna wasn’t showing off anything or mocking her. She was even being quite sweet.

“I haven’t given it to her yet” Marguerite replied

“I see… Marguente, we’ve missed you these years. If it’s alright with you, Frederick and I would like to invite you to dinner next time. What do you think?” Invite her to dinner? So she was showing off after all. Of course, Yuna was never one to be genuine. But Marguente didn’t expose her, she just replied good–naturedly, “Sure, no problem. But I should be the one to treat you next time, consider it a welcome meal”

Marguerite glanced at Frederick as she spoke, only to find his gaze on her even colder.

“Could you give the phone back to Frederick? I need to say a few more things to him.”

“Sure.” Marguerite handed the phone back to Frederick, but he ended the call immediately and placed his phone face down on the table.

Marguente blinked, “She said she wanted to talk to you.”

Frederick didn’t reply, but instead asked, “How does it feel?”

“What?”

“Getting a call from your sister after three years. Must bring back a lot of memories, huh?”

Marguente paused, knowing that no matter how she answered, she’d just be inviting more humiliation. But she chose to reply anyway. “Yes, she seems a lot gentler” Frederick chuckled, “And you’re just the same?”

“Pardon me?”

“Just as fake as ever.

Even though she was prepared, Frederick’s words still stung. She took a sip of her drink, her eyes welling up with tears.

Frederick watched her reaction, nodding slightly in satisfaction. He then took out the bracelet and lightly tapped it on the table, saying. I think we’d both rather not get too entangled with each other. Please keep your distance, Ms. Lockwood Don’t come around the mansion anymore.”

Marguente’s eyes widened in surprise. He knew about her visits to the mansion?

Feeling like shed been caught red handed, Marguente didn’t know what to say.

The secunty guard needs his job. Don’t make him lose it because of your mistakes”

It was indeed the security guard who had told Frederick

several times

Marguente looked at him with wide eyes, unable to say a word in her tumultuous state of mind
