Margaux smirked when she watched Wilma's face get drained of blood. She was white as paper and seemingly about to faint any second. Standing on her side was David, who was holding her for support while his eyes were staring coldly at her. “So, why are you talking to them?” Daisy shook her head in displeasure, “Shouldn't you mingle with more important people than hang out with them who are insignificant to us?” her tone was sharp as she deliberately looked at Hendrix's parents while saying it. Margaux's eyes glinted upon seeing David's face darkened. Honestly, just like his son, she hadn't interacted with him even once. Because the old man was just always on the side, silently watching his wife throwing insults at her. When she felt someone hold her hand, Margaux finally averted her gaze from Hendrix's parents and looked at her aunt Belinda. “Come here, Sweetie. Let's just catch up,” Belinda said softly then gently pulled her away from the crowd. Just like what Daisy said, aside

“Margaux! Let's talk! Don't run away from me!” Hendrix's voice rang out but Margaux continued running away and just ignored him. He ran after her, but a loud curse escaped his mouth when he lost her and just disappeared after turning to the left corner.“Margaux!” he screamed. He looked around and checked all the rooms she could possibly be hiding, but he saw nothing as if the woman could teleport somewhere else and disappeared without any trace. ‘This place sure has secret doors,’ he thought. Upon realizing that, he let out an exasperated sigh and shook his head.It was very obvious that Margaux was avoiding him. He just wanted to talk to her and asked her about the fake name she used in their marriage contract. He badly wanted to know her reason why she did that. As he was still in denial that she was not the Margaux he legally married. He continued searching in all corners of each room he entered for the secret passage. However, as he stepped out of the last room he checked,

Her body stiffened as her eyes went a little wider. She clenched her fists and continued walking as if she didn't hear anything. However, as soon as she took one step to the staircase, she heard a loud commotion which made her heart skip a beat. “Foreigners had no right to interfere!” someone screamed followed by women's deafening shrieks and bouncers to run to the direction of where she just came from. Her chest was pounding hard as she marched back at the bar counter. However, a lot of people were blocking her way as they were watching the scene like a movie. “You're harassing my wife! I won't forgive you!” Hendrix's voice erupted. Margaux stood frozen on the spot as she gasped loudly. She wanted to convince herself that she just heard it wrong, but she couldn't deny that voice was indeed from Hendrix. She knew his voice very well. She had that husky and baritone voice recorded to listen every night before they got married. She had it indented in her mind that's why she couldn

The woman's eyes sparkled as she giggled, obviously loving how she addressed her. “Long time no see. I've heard your father already passed all the responsibilities to you,” she said, “I just got back home from a business trip, that's why I wasn't able to attend your welcome party. But I sent you a gift!” she chirped. Margaux wanted to roll her eyes. She didn't need a gift especially coming from her. She knew the likes of that woman and she couldn't trust her at all. “It's fine. That party is not of great importance that requires her royal highness to attend,” she replied with her head bowed down. Liana gently smiled, “But still. We're relatives aren't we? I have to be there to witness the Montello's very important event,” she responded. Margaux pressed her lips tightly. Sure they were blood related and her father had a royal blood, but the woman was too self centered and only knew how to give everyone troubles whenever she's around, thus, not only her but all of their relatives

“Fiancèe?” Hendrix stared at Margaux in disbelief. “What are you saying?” he breathed. Margaux scoffed, “I'm saying is. . .Roxanne is Hendrix's fiancèe! That scumbag proposed to her not less than a week after I left him!” she exclaimed scornfully. Hendrix was rendered speechless. He had no idea about what he just had heard. Him? Proposed? And to Roxanne? His freaking secretary?! That was ridiculous! He had zero interest in that woman. He actually didn't like her and only allowed her to be his secretary just because it was his mother's request. And he was not stupid about her agenda for being his secretary. He was not blind nor dense. In fact, he was very sensitive when it came to that kind of woman who wanted to get close to him. And that's also the very reason why he avoided Margaux. Aside from the fact that he was guilty for her accident and for using her as an escape from his family for setting him up to blind dates. Closing his palms into fist, his brows furrowed tightly.“Wher
