Chapter 433

Marguerite shivered involuntarily.

Maurice’s voice was calm, a gentle smile playing on his lips, but it sent a chill down her spine.

Her weakness, it seemed, was well and truly in Maurice’s grasp.

Even if she wanted to resist, she was powerless to do so.

Nobody knew better than Maurice how important their lost son was to her.

That’s why he could threaten her so blatantly.

After speaking, he straightened up, his smile as warm as a spring breeze. His cold fingertips gently traced the curve

of her earlobe, he nodded in satisfaction and spoke again. “Stay at home and wait for news from our son, okay?”

Maurice gently patted Marguerite’s shoulder, a loving gesture before preparing to leave.

As he turned to go, he unexpectedly locked eyes with Frederick.

Frederick returned to the living room, seemingly about to leave the house. Maurice once again placed his arm

around Marguerite’s shoulder and nodded at Frederick as a form of greeting.

Marguerite also saw him. She noticed that Frederick always looked exceptionally dashing. He had changed into a

navy–blue suit with a camel overcoat, looking as handsome as a lead actor from a Hollywood movie.

Subconsciously, Marguerite did not want Frederick to see her this close with Maurice, so she pushed Maurice away.

But by the time she had done so, Frederick had already turned around and left the manor, his steps quick and

determined.

He had seemed indifferent, his gaze as he looked at her as casual as if he were looking at any other couple.

Oh! She almost forgot that Frederick no longer loved her, so why was she hoping to see jealousy in his eyes? This

realization hurt Marguerite deeply. After Maurice left. Marguerite saw the three little ones eating breakfast in the

dining room.

Teresa and Hayes were laughing and chatting, while Manley was still sucking on a lollipop, looking rather clueless.

Marguerite wanted to go upstairs to find Jocelyn, but she unexpectedly bumped into Lisette.

Lisette descended from the spiral staircase, still dressed in her pearls and finery, looking regal.

Seeing Marguerite, she lifted her chin in a commanding manner, “Marguerite, get ready. I am going to the church

to pray for Powell you’re coming

with me.”

Marguerite was surprised by her invitation. Was she worthy of accompanying Lisette?

But Marguerite quickly realized Lisette was trying to pull her onto her side.

After all Jocelyn was back, and Lisette viewed Frederick as a thorn in her side.

Even though she also rejected Marguerite, at least Marguerite had had a child with Maurice, so it was more

advantageous to win Marguerite over. But Marguerite was not going to do it. If she switched sides. Jocelyn would

have a tough time in the Winston family.

Marguerite politely declined, “Sorry, I’m not going anywhere. I’m staying home with the kids.”

Lisette frowned and said. “What’s your deal? The butler can take care of the kids, you’re coming with me.”

Marguerite was put on the spot, but her stance was clear, “No one can take care of the kids better than their

mother.”

Yuna appeared out of nowhere and quickly flattered Lisette, “Lisette, I’m free today, let me accompany you.”

Lisette paused, gave Yuna a surprised look, and alter a moment of thought, she actually agreed!

Truth be told, Marguerite looked down on Yuna’s behavior. She could tell Yuna was trying to gain a foothold in the

Winston family by pleasing Mr. Powell and Lisette.

But the person standing behind Yuna was Frederick, and Lisette considered Frederick as a threat.

Given this relationship, Lisette would never see Yuna as one of her own, at most, she was just a pawn.

Yuna couldn’t see this, and Marguerite suspected she would end up empty–handed in the end.

Just as they were about to leave, Jocelyn came down the stairs.

Marguerite gave Jocelyn a hearty smile and asked, “Jocelyn, what brings you down here?”

“I was about to prepare some fruit for Powell.”

Marguerite immediately rolled up her sleeves, a determined look on her face, and she intentionally raised her

voice. “Rest up, I’ll do it for you!”

She deliberately wanted Lisette to hear this.

Marguerite wanted Lisette to know that no matter how much she tried to woo her, she would always stand firmly by

Jocelyn’s side.

Moreover, she would do it openly and honestly! Even If it meant being partial, she would do so proudly!
