“Let me in! I want to see Marguerite! I need to see Marguerite!”
Marguerite squinted, recognizing the familiar face – it was Miley.
She darted out of her car, pulling Miley behind her, and barked at the security. “Don’t touch her!”
The head of security grimaced, “Ms Lockwood, Mr. Lockwood has instructed us to report all visitors to him”
Marguente shot him an Icy glare “Report as you must, but I’m taking her in.”
Marguente gripped Miley’s hand, making a move to head inside, but the security guards blocked their path.
Marguerite’s anger flared, her voice laced with threat, “If anything happens to my baby because of this, can you handle the consequences?”
The security guard flinched, and he moved aside, but immediately turned to report to Maurice
Marguerite led Miley to her room, grabbing a bottle of water from the mini–fridge for Miley. Without wasting time, she asked, “What brings you here?”
Miley took a big gulp before replying, tongue–tied.
“Yesterday, I saw Maurice’s name on the guest list of Regal Haven Hotel. I tried calling you but couldn’t reach you, so I came here. Robert and I spent the whole night at your manor”
Marguerite thought back to the previous night the intimate scenes between Robert and Miley She asked, “Are you two together?”
Miley nodded, somewhat sheepish. “It’s strange, we’ve been together for a while, but neither of us knew the other knew you.”
Marguerite managed a weak smile. If she could carry Maurice’s child, why should she be surprised her best friend is dating Robert?

Miley looked at Marguerite hopefully. Marguerite, however, spotted a small piece of paper sticking out of Miley’s jeans. “You’re going too, arent you?”
Miley brought out the plane ticket, “I secretly bought you a ticket. If you go, I’ll go. If you don’t, I won’t”
Marguerite gazed down at the security men below from the balcony, “I can’t go.”
Miley looked disappointed but finally decided, “Then, I won’t go either”
Marquente turned to face her, “What about Yuna? Is she going?”
Miley shook her head, “Yuna has been sent to an island by Mr. Fredenck to give birth. She’ll probably go after the baby is born
Marguerite felt a pang of sorrow. The people who had once hurt her were doing better and better. As soon as her baby was born, Yuna would be set for life. If Yuna asked for more, Frederick would probably offer up his empire to her.
Seeing Marguerite lost in thought, Miley decided to leave the ticket and go. But as she reached the door, she couldn’t bear to see Marguente give up
She remembered the day Marguerite had showed up at her apartment, crying and gasping-
“Miley. I’m so upset. Sometimes I wonder whether everything would be different if I weren’t pregnant.”
Miley turned back, stood in front of Marguerite, and said earnestly, “Marguente, when Mr. Frederick booked the flight last night, I could clearly feel that he wanted me to see the flight information. I think he wanted me to bring y
