Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 655

The room fell into a deathly silence.

Zoe slumped to the floor, feeling utterly defeated and ready to meet her end. Yuna, with her hair a wild mess, looked every bit the madwoman, her expression one of deranged fury. Suddenly, she snapped out of it and yelled at Zoe, "Well, aren't you going to chase her? Do you want her spilling the beans to everyone?"

Zoe had lost all fight, her voice weak and spiritless. "What's the point? You were the one who wanted to spill the beans! We could have smoothed things over..."

"I've had it with Marguerite for ages! She's always acting so high and mighty. Marguerite is a piece of work, and so is her mother! If you won't chase her, I will!" Yuna's voice broke in frustration as she grabbed her car keys and hobbled out at top speed.

Zoe felt like her world was crumbling. What was Yuna thinking? Yuna had ignored Zoe's plea not to reveal anything, fanning the flames of conflict with Penelope. And now, she was rushing out after her. Why wait until now? Zoe had no energy left for Yuna's madness.

But then it hit her: Yuna was no match for Penelope in wits. Zoe feared Yuna, in desperation, might do something drastic to silence Penelope. After all, Penelope was a Fitzgerald, and no matter how much Hackett doted on Yuna, he wouldn't cover for her if she committed murder. If Yuna did something rash, they would all be ruined.

With this thought, Zoe forced herself up and dashed out after Yuna.

Meanwhile.

Penelope raced to the parking lot, slammed the gas pedal, and zoomed off. The factory fire from the night before was in the outskirts, and due to Yuna's urgent need for burn treatment, they had to rush her to the nearest hospital. Heading back to the city would take a long time. Moreover, with the roads being mountainous and having been battered by the storm the night before, Penelope dared not speed up, despite her urgency.
