Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 803

For a moment, Marguerite felt a tightness in her chest.

The news hit her so unexpectedly, she couldn't quite process it all at once.

While everyone else was still wrapped up in the joy of the engagement party, Maurice took a sip of his champagne and gave Silas a pointed look.

"You were just asking who invited me here, weren't you? Well, nobody did. I came because of him."

Marguerite, however, wasn't listening to Maurice's words. Something had clicked in her mind, and she quickly dug through her purse, pulling out the invitation. With trembling hands, she opened it up.

There it was, clear as day, under the section for the couple: Silas and Violet.

If only she had peeked at the invitation last night, she might have spared herself from facing this today. If she'd known, perhaps she wouldn't have come to the engagement party at all.

The thought of Silas marrying Violet, picturing them so in love, made it hard for Marguerite to even breathe.

Yet, logically, none of this should matter to her.

Her emotions were a whirlwind of confusion, and she couldn't quite put a finger on why she felt this way.

Oblivious to Marguerite's turmoil, Maurice carried on, painting his grand vision.

"Silas is the rising star in the trade organization and now the newly appointed vice-chairman. If we can leverage him to export the wafer technology abroad, the Winston family's status will skyrocket."

Already on edge, Marguerite's anger flared at Maurice's words.
