SWNOVELS Chatper 609
Chapter 609
As Zoe was about to drag Marguerite away, Miley's heart raced and she bolted to
intercept them, “Let go of Marguerite, you witch! Lies just spill out of your mouth
like water!
Marguerite’s been either at work or home all this time. When would she have had
a second to chat with you?”
“Ms. Goldie, I know you're close with Marguerite, but this ain't the time to blindly
stick up for her! Step aside, girl, don't bring trouble on yourself!”
“Zoe! You're nothing but a two-faced snake! What'd you use to call Marguerite
behind her back, huh? Trash! And now, in front of the Fitzgeralds, you suddenly
remember her name is Marguerite? Hypocrites! Is there even one ounce of truth
in anything you say?”
Hackett glanced at Marguerite, then at the fiercely outspoken Miley. Already not
fond of either, his anger now flared up, “Miley, shut up! You've bamboozled my
son's mind, and I haven't even settled the score with you! And now you're going
after Yuna too?”
Confronted by her future father-in-law, Miley clammed up instantly.
How did he know she was Robert's girlfriend? Who spilled the beans?
But right now, this wasn't the time to dwell on that.
She wanted to be with Robert, so she didn’t dare talk back to Hackett.
Seeing the tension, Penelope stepped forward to smooth things over, “Alright,
enough! Everyone stop bickering. Hackett, for heaven's sake, Miley's just a kid.
Why are you being so rough on her?”
Hackett, who was well under his wife's thumb, took Penelope's words seriously.
He paused, then turned his steely gaze on Zoe and barked, “Like mother, like
daughter! No wonder Marguerite has no shame, she learned from the best — her
mother! Get out of here with your daughter now! I don’t ever want to see you
again!”
Zoe's heart leapt with joy at his words! Leave with Marguerite? She couldn't wish
for more! “Right away, sir, I'll take Marguerite and go!”
As Zoe spoke, she clutched Marguerite’s arm tightly, forcefully hurrying her out.
Miley was in a bind. She looked at Marguerite, then at Hackett. Forget the future
father-in-law! Robert can clean up this mess later! With that thought, Miley
immediately wrapped her arms around Marguerite’s waist, pulling her in the
opposite direction, “Back off, you hag! Don't you touch her!”
Zoe was strong, and with Ablett's help, Miley was no match for the two of them.
Penelope felt a surge of sympathy for Marguerite and was about to intervene, but

feigning innocence, clutched her arm, and said, “Mom, don’t help Marguerite.
That's just how she is! I've lived with her for over twenty years, I'm used to it.
She's always bullying
me..."
Penelope furrowed her brow, uncertain whether to believe Yuna's words.
As she hesitated, Miley's voice, filled with desperation, rang out, “Robert! Mr.
Winston! Where are you guys? They're taking Marguerite away! Hurry up-"
Before she could finish, a commanding voice cut through the chaos, “Everybody
stop!”
Simultaneously, the double doors at the entrance swung open from both sides.
Frederick and Robert, donning crisp white lab coats, stood imposingly at the
threshold.
