Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 639

Hackett was livid, his eyes bulging as he barked, "If it's not her fault, then it must be yours, right? We struck a deal with your factory, and now there's been a mishap on your watch. You'll be footing the bill for all the damages, understand?"

"Mr. Fitzgerald... I'm at a loss here too! A fire breaking out in such extreme weather is unheard of for me as well. Maybe hold your horses a bit? Wait till the fire department puts out the flames and investigates. Let them pinpoint whether it was spontaneous or foul play before you start pointing fingers..."

Yuna felt a twinge of guilt when she heard Zack mention investigating the cause of the fire.

"Why investigate? What's there to look into? If a fire couldn't start in this weather, then obviously it's been set deliberately! I'll bet my bottom dollar it was Marguerite who lit the match!"

Marguerite was baffled. "???"

She knew it; Yuna wouldn't waste a chance to throw her under the bus! That woman would love nothing more than to pin every last bit of blame on Marguerite!

But that didn't mean she was about to take it lying down and let the gossip-mongers sling mud her way without a fight.

She locked eyes with Yuna, her gaze fierce as she posed a soul-searching question: "I poured my heart and soul into developing these products. Why on earth would I want to torch my own masterpiece?"
