Chapter 3
By the time Yuna bolted out, Marguerite was already gone.
She looked around and saw a hot guy approaching her-
The guy was decked out in a black and white striped suit, poker–faced, with a resilient aura in his
features.
Her eyes widened at his handsome face and she stood rooted to the ground, captivated.
Suddenly, Hanley grabbed her wrist from behind and yanked her into his arms.
“Yuna, you’re not getting away! You promised to be with me last night. Does your family really have 10
million to give me?”
Yuna struggled, “Mr. Hanley, I told you, it’s none of my business. You should go find…”
“Pah! Your sister ran away, you think you can escape, too? We agreed it was you who would be with
me! Where were you last night?”
The one who should have been with Hanley last night indeed was Yuna. But Zoe and Ablett couldn’t
stand their daughter being mistreated and came up with a plan.
Since Marguerite and Yuna looked identical, they decided to let the less favored Marguerite to take her
place.
Who knew, Marguerite got the hotel rooms mixed up!
“Mr. Hanley, let me go!” Yuna struggled hard. The sight of this greasy man made her sick.
But Hanley wouldn’t listen and even planted a kiss on Yuna’s face.
Yuna was helpless, she could only scream, “Hanley, don’t touch me! Let’s talk this out! Mom, Dad,
come save me…”
Suddenly, there was a loud thud. Hanley’s head was struck and he fell to the ground.
Yuna was stunned. She looked up at the handsome man in front of her, feeling extremely nervous.
Oh my God, he’s so handsome! So strong!
She was about to lose her balance, Chuck quickly stepped forward to steady her, “Miss, are
Yuna mechanically shook her head, “I… I’m fine.”
you okay?”
Chuck glanced at Frederick, then asked, “Miss, were you in room 1205 of Regal Haven Hotel last
Follow current on NovelEnglish.netnight?”
Last night? It was Marguerite who went to the Regal Haven Hotel last night!
Could it be, the man Marguerite was with, is this man?
Before she could respond, Hanley on the ground started cursing, You sneaky Yuna, I knew there was a
reason you didn’t show last night. You found yourself a new sugar daddy!”
A cold glint flashed across Frederick’s eyes.
The woman from last night, it was indeed her.
But what’s her relationship with the man on the ground? Why was she supposed to be with him?
Frederick glanced at Chuck, who stepped forward and stomped on Hanley’s face.
“Shut up! How dare you disrespect Mr. Winston!”
Mr. Winston?
Who else could it be, but the highly capable and influential Frederick, who would dare to call himself
“Mr. Winston” in the whole of Stonebridge City?
So, the man in front of her was… was…
This shocking realization made Yuna feel a mix of shock and envy.
Damn Marguerite, how on earth did she manage to sleep with Frederick?
Seeing Yuna’s shocked expression, Frederick calmly took out the sapphire necklace from his pocket
and asked her, “Is this necklace yours?”
Yuna recognized it as Marguerite’s necklace at a glance, but she wasn’t sure if she should admit it.
After all, Marguerite got involved with Frederick out of nowhere. For someone of his status, he must
hate being used by women. He must be furious right now, right?
If she admitted it, would his anger blow over to her?
Yuna felt torn. Zoe quickly came to her senses, snatched the necklace and said, “Sir, this is indeed
Yuna’s. She’s been wearing it for 22 years! I thought she lost it, turns out it’s with you.”
Frederick looked up at Yuna, “Do you remember who I am?”
Yuna looked confused, “Aren’t you Mr. Winston, Frederick?”
“I’m not talking about that.” Frederick frowned, “Do you remember, 15 years ago, you gave me a piece
of bread. You saved me, do you remember
that?”
“Uh?” Yuna stared at him in surprise. That was something Marguerite did, how could she possibly
remember.
“Sir!” Seeing this, Zoe quickly stepped in, “The thing is, Yuna had a high fever when she was a kid and
she forgot a lot of things.”
She forgot?
The man’s deep gaze was fixed on her, his handsome eyebrows slightly knitted.
That’s okay.
Even if she had forgotten him, as long as he still remembered, that was enough.
Frederick thought to himself and stepped closer to Yuna. She was enveloped in his shadow, looking up
at his handsome face.
Yuna’s eyes widened, once again captivated by Frederick’s handsome face.
Frederick seemed to be in deep thought, he leaned in a little and subconsciously sniffed Yuna.
Surprisingly, the faint scent from last night was not on her.
It seemed, he must have been drunk last night and got it wrong.
He Had lost his sense of smell years ago, how could he have sniffed it out so easily?
After a long silence, he suddenly spoke, “Bring your ID, come with me.”
Yuna was baffled, “What?”
Chuck immediately pushed Yuna towards Frederick, “Miss, Mr. Winston wants to register for marriage
with you, go get your ID, you two are going to register for marriage today!”
Stonebridge Memorial Hospital.
Marguerite walked out of the doctor’s office, She learned that her grandmother’s condition had
worsened, but she didn’t have a dime.
She had just finished her university course, majoring in perfume development. Although her grades
were top of her class, she couldn’t get her diploma because she didn’t have sufficient identification
documents, which resulted in her not even getting an interview when looking for a job.”
With no other choice, she had to anonymously send the perfume she designed to various perfume
design companies, hoping to get a chance to prove herself. This included the globally renowned
fragrance company – LuxeScents International.
But Marguerite knew that a big name company like LuxeScènts International would never hire her.

Even at the recent perfume design competition, the samples she sent were probably thrown straight
into the trash.
She let out a sigh and instinctively pulled out her phone, checking for any interview invitations.
But there were none.
She sat helplessly on the cold bench of the hospital corridor, penniless, jobless, lost, and utterly
desperate.
She didn’t understand why her parents treated her this way. Was it just because of what the fortune
teller said?
Even so, they shouldn’t ignore their own mother!
To save her grandmother, she even slept with a stranger. And pathetically, she got the wrong man!
Recalling the events of last night, Marguerite thought it was too crazy and absurd.
Because of the darkness, Marguerite didn’t really see the man’s face.
She shook her head, not willing to recall such a humiliating night again. Her priority now was to find a
way to raise money for her grandmother’s treatment.
Just then, her phone buzzed with a text from an unknown number.
[I can save your grandmother.]
Marguerite was stunned.
Possibly because of her desperation to save her grandmother, she didn’t consider if it was a scam and
called the number without thinking, “Who are you?”
The voice on the other end was metallic and processed, making it hard to tell if it was a man or a
woman, “Who I am is not important, what’s important is, I can save your grandmother.”
“There’s no such thing as a free lunch. You won’t help me for no reason,” Marguerite responded.
The person on the other end chuckled, “You’re a smart girl. I do need your help.”
“What?”
“I need you to marry someone.”
Marguerite paused, “Who?”
“Frederick.”
