Chapter 526
Frederick’s steely gaze landed on Hackett’s face with a rebellious intensity. The corners of his lips curled up in a
mocking sneer as he said, “Hackett, I’ve made up my mind precisely because I know her all too well. It’s got
nothing to do with anyone else!”
In that instant, Hackett was tongue-tied. For a moment, he couldn’t find any words to counter!
“Hackett, you’ve just brought her back, it’s normal you don’t know her well. But believe me, the real circus show is
yet to come, no need to hurry.”
Hackett’s heart sank, how could he not understand that Frederick was alluding to his beloved daughter? His
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtprotective instincts had already clouded his judgment.
Fuming, he puffed up his cheeks and stormed toward the living room, “This is preposterous! The world’s turned
upside down! Powell, for heaven’s sake, control your son! What kind of nonsense is he spouting? What kind of
nonsense?!”
At this point, the ever-silent Powell finally emerged from the living room, pushed in his wheelchair by a servant.
He knew better than anyone that Yuna was a handful! Yet, by some stroke of luck, this woman happened to be the
long-lost daughter of his dear friend!
In the past, he would have kicked Yuna out without a second thought! But now, out of respect for Hackett, he
restrained himself from speaking his mind. That’s why he’d been staying out of it, keeping his silence.
Now, though, since Hackett had spoken up, Powell felt obliged to show some support for his good friend, so he said,
“Alright, Frederick, give Yuha another chance, let her stay.”
But Hackett was far from satisfied, his agitation palpable, “That’s it?”
Powell frowned, “What more do you want?”
“Marguerite must apologize to Yuna! If it wasn’t for her whispering in Frederick’s ear, he would never have been so
resolute against Yuna!
An apology! It must happen! My daughter should not bear such indignity!”
Marguerite was speechless.
Had Hackett Fitzgerald been brainwashed by Yuna?
As the head of a top-tier family, was he taking everything she said at face value? Had he lost all sense of reason?
Powell cleared his throat awkwardly, glanced at Marguerite, and whispered to Hackett, “Hackett, I get your desire to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmprotect your daughter, but don’t make a mess while trying to help! The fact that I’m allowing your daughter to stay
is already the biggest favor I can do!
Insisting on dragging Marguerite into this is asking for trouble. Are you not afraid Maurice will come after you?
Maurice is far more formidable than Frederick. Frederick is openly ruthless, Maurice is ruthless behind the scenes!
Besides, Marguerite is now the apple of our eye! Both Frederick and Maurice had fallen for her, do you really want
to risk Maurice and Frederick teaming up against you?”
Powell’s stance on Marguerite had always been subtle, but as the father of Frederick and Maurice, he was well
aware of what his sons were thinking. However, to minimize infighting within the family, he had no choice but to
watch and keep his thoughts to himself.
His words certainly struck a chord.
