Chapter 43


    Frederick was downright bbergasted.


    Marguerite Lockwood and Yuna Lockwood.


    They shared the samest name, but looked nothing alike.


    How on earth could they be sisters?


    Frederick’s face was a picture of astonishment. “What did you just say?”


    Yuna took a deep breath, her sorrow was so deep that her shoulders shook uncontrobly. “Frederick,


    Marguerite was adopted by my parents and she was my foster sister. Although we didn’t share a drop


    of blood, I treated her like my own sister. Whatever she wanted, she got it. I did everything an elder


    sister should do! But ever since she arrived, I lost the favor from the family. My parents no longer


    favored me, even rtives and friends began to dislike me. Despite my best efforts to please everyone,


    nothing I did could match up to Marguerite. Seeing my plight, my grandma took me to the countryside. I


    don’t know what happened next. By the time my parents found me, Marguerite was no longer with us.


    Later, my mom told me that Marguerite was so loved because she was a smooth talker, and she was


    especially good at ying innocent. She spread lots of nasty rumors about me when we were kids.


    They believed her, thinking kids wouldn’t lie. That’s when I realized Marguerite had stolen everything


    from me! She took the love my parents had for me, and even my rightful glory. Now, she’s your wife.


    Frederick, you’re my boyfriend! You are the man I love the most! I can overlook everything she’s done


    before, but I can’t stomach you bing her husband!”


    Marguerite was actually the adopted daughter of the Lockwood family.


    This factpletely blindsided Frederick.


    Yuna clung tightly to his legs as if afraid he’d leave.


    Her tears had dried up, leaving only sobs, making her look pitiful and helpless.


    Gripping his umbre tightly, Frederick crouched down and sheltered Yuna under it.


    “Even so, you can’t just abuse her like that. Illegal confinement and excessive humiliation are crimes,


    you know?”


    Upon hearing this, Yuna tightly clung to Frederick’s arm, shaking her head as she cried.


    “No, Frederick, we didn’t confine her, and we certainly didn’t hit her! My parents called her back home


    to have a serious talk, to stop her from affecting you. But she not only refused to listen, but also


    threatened that as long as she doesn’t divorce, I can never marry you. My parents were angry and just


    wanted to teach her a lesson. They took her back to Marina Shores Vige, so that she could reflect on


    her actions. But we never hit her. We even argued carefully, afraid of provoking her. Moreover, my dad


    left her some money to take care of herself. But when you said you found her in a warehouse


    yesterday, I was shocked. We never took her to any warehouse! Frederick, she was once part of our


    family. She used to be my sister! We couldn’t bear to hurt her!”


    Frederick’s gaze hardened, staring at her intently. “You really didn’t hurt her. Is that true?”


    Yuna nodded vigorously. “We didn’t hit her! Freddie, if you don’t believe it, you can check! I didn’t do


    anything wrong, and I’m not afraid of being investigated!”


    Before she came, her parents had bribed everyone in Marina Shores Vige who had connections with


    Marguerite, reaching a unanimous agreement. So all the information Frederick could find would be in


    Yuna’s favor.


    After saying this, Yuna gazed at the man pathetically.


    His expression wasplex, but the determination in his eyes seemed to suggest that he believed


    Yuna’s words.


    Yuna bit her lip gently, squeezing out a few tears.


    “Freddie, Marguerite stole everything from me, and I really don’t want to apologize to her. It doesn’t


    matter how she sees me or nders me in front of you, I only care about you.”


    Frederick’s eyes grew serious. “You can’t do foolish things in the future. If there’s any issue, tell me


    immediately.”


    A sense of relief washed over Yuna.

    She had sessfully tricked Frederick.


    “I got it, Freddie. I was wrong this time. I shouldn’t have been so insecure. We’ve known each other


    since fifteen years ago. You’ve been looking for me all these years. How could you not love me, right?”


    Yuna deliberately mentioned the events from fifteen years ago as a reminder to Frederick.


    Upon hearing this, Frederick indeed faltered.
