Chapter 399

The provocative flames roared like a wildfire, and in the depths of both their eyes, seemed to be a line of fire

crackling and burning relentlessly.

Robert had never lost his temper with Frederick. He knew that despite being a business prodigy, Frederick was as

naive as a child when it came to emotions. That’s why he kept trying to match him with Marguerite, tolerating his

temper time and time again.

But what he never expected was that one day, Frederick would question the nature of his relationship with

Marguerite!

At this moment, Robert felt that Frederick’s sense of reason had gone missing. He found the man utterly absurd,

“Can you stop acting weird about me and Marguerite?”

This was a tone of almost begging frustration.

Frederick froze for a moment, for he had never heard Robert speak to him with such a tone. And it seemed like he

realized that his anger-fueled words had indeed crossed a line.

Robert also felt odd about Marguerite. Three years ago, he was kind to Marguerite out of respect for Frederick. But

gradually, he realized that his feelings for Marguerite were not just as a friend’s wife, but something more

profound. However, this emotion was definitely not love.

He genuinely wished that Marguerite could end up with Frederick, his best friend.

Conflicts between men usually come and go quickly. After they both regained their composure, Robert sighed and

paused before explaining again, “Today, I called Marguerite over because I needed Polar Radiance for your

treatment.”

“The company was hacked, causing nearly billions of losses. The tech department traced it back to a hacker who

had connections with Maurice. Marguerite had been in charge of the suburban projects and was the most likely to

be in collusion.”

Robert was incredulous and retorted, “Frederick, do you really think a woman who uses exhaust fans to remove

formaldehyde has the capability to do this?”

“The day before the incident, Maurice sold off LuxeScents International. But you told me Marguerite had been

working there.”

Robert was shocked because he was the one who bought LuxeScents International!

He was trying to bring Marguerite into Thunderbolt Enterprises so she and Frederick could rekindle their

relationship! Who would have thought that Frederick, being so sensitive and suspicious, would turn this into a

suspicion against Marguerite?

Robert wanted to tell the truth to prove Marguerite’s innocence. But if Frederick found out that he and Miley had

plotted to set him up with Marguerite, who knows how furious he would

be!

If it came to that, Marguerite wouldn’t stand a chance of getting into Thunderbolt Enterprises! Robert felt awkward

and rubbed his nose with his fist to hide his embarrassment, “Umm… Frederick, the sale of LuxeScents

International has nothing to do with Marguerite. LuxeScents International was bought by Wade Charles. His father

thought he was idle, so he bought LuxeScents International to please his father.”

Wade was indeed the one who bought LuxeScents International, so he wasn’t lying.

Yes! That’s it! But strangely, the more Robert thought about it, the more guilty he felt.

Frederick tilted his head, full of suspicion towards Robert’s behavior, “Really?”

Robert nodded, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask him.”

Whether or not he chose to believe, Frederick was in exceptionally high spirits after hearing the truth. He put his

hands in his pockets and walked to the CEO’s office, saying stubbornly. “Even so, I can’t completely trust her.”

Robert quickened his pace to keep up with him, “If you’re so suspicious of her, fine. Get her to work at Thunderbolt

Enterprises and keep an eye on her yourself!”

“Only a lunatic like you could come up with such a crazy idea!” Frederick retorted.

Robert suddenly stopped in his tracks. A lunatic?

Looking at Frederick’s arrogant and domineering confidence, Robert couldn’t help but mutter to himself, “I’m a

lunatic? We’ll see who’s the lunatic in the future!”

Meanwhile, in Country Veracoria.

In the dark night, behind a computer screen emitting a soft blue glow was a man with an incredibly handsome face.

His thick eyebrows raised, and his eyes were deep and mysterious.

Watching the numbers on his account jump, the man’s lips curled into a satisfied smile. He chuckled mischievously.
