Chapter 394
The following morning at Sapphire Valley Estates, Hayes and Manley had finished their breakfast, and Yuna eagerly offered to personally take the boys to school.
“Freddie, from now on MI be the one dropping off and picking up Hayes and Manley from school. I don’t trust the chauffeur to do it.”
Her status in the mansion was already shaky after the scandal of her mistreating Hayes came out, courtesy of Teresa. The added blow of yesterday’s birthday party only made things worse. Terrified of being thrown out of the mansion, Yuna was eager to establish herself as a caring mother.
Frederick didn’t even look up. “There’s no need for that today.”
“No need?” Yuna asked, surprised. “But it’s a school day.”
Jocelyn, delicately holding her spoon, gently sipped her bird’s nest soup, “Hayes and Manley have to have their bone age tested today, I’ve already notified the school.”
Bone age test? That meant drawing blood! Yuna felt like she was standing on the edge of a cliff. Frederick had never mentioned this before, she had assumed he had forgotten. But it seemed he had everything prepared.
Damn it! The bone age test was completely unexpected, and she was not prepared at all.
Yuna, nervous and desperate, tried to dissuade Frederick, “Freddie, why don’t we have the family doctor come to the house for the test? It would be less trouble than going out. Besides, they have school today, they would miss their classes.”
Upon hearing this, Frederick looked at her, his voice full of contempt, “Since when have you cared so much about their schoolwork? Haven’t you often let Manley skip school?”
Yuna was taken aback, unable to respond. Her nervousness was so obvious it was painful. Her trembling hands rested on the table. Frederick noticed her unusual behaviour. He sensed something was wrong, so he asked, “Why are you so nervous about a bone age test?”
Of course she was nervous! Once the hospital drew Hayes’ blood, it would automatically be matched with Marguerite’s blood type, and then it would be too late to do anything.
Yuna quickly denied it, “Freddie, I’m not nervous. I was just thinking about something else. But since they’re having the bone age test, as their mother, I should accompany them.”
She couldn’t just sit back and do nothing. She had to think of a way to prevent this from happening.
Meanwhile, at Emerald Meadows. Teresa had been sent to kindergarten by the maid, Nadine, and Maurice had already left for the office. The mansion was empty except for Marguerite. Without LuxeScents International, she felt lost and bored, devoid of any motivation in life.
Suddenly, her phone rang. It was Robert.
“Hello?” She answered tentatively. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Robert’s voice was as gentle as ever. “I’m sorry to bother you so early, Marguerite. I was hoping to borrow something from you.”
“Borrow something? What do you need?”
“Polar Radiance.”
Marguerite was shocked. How did Robert know she still had a few bottles of Polar Radiance?
But then she remembered, Miley was Robert’s girlfriend, and she probably told him everything.
Marguerite was confused. “What do you need the perfume for?”
Robert chuckled awkwardly, “As you know, Frederick has lost his sense of smell, but he can still smell Polar Radiance, the one you made. As his psychologist, of course, I’m concerned.”
Marguerite did not expect that answer.
I’m only using the Polar Radiance to assist his treatment, don’t misunderstand. If you agree, could you please deliver it to the company? Frederick is not there, and I can’t leave.”
Marguerite thought for a while, and finally agreed. She quickly hung up the phone, took out a bottle of Polar Radiance, and hurried to Thunderbolt Enterprises.
Robert received her in the CEO’s office and they chatted casually.
He wanted Marguerite to stay at Thunderbolt Enterprises, but first, he had to deal with Frederick. He would definitely refuse if he asked directly, so he had to subtly influence him.
And this bottle of Polar Radiance was the key Robert had thought of.
Marguerite didn’t stay long in the CEO’s office. Just as she was about to leave, she received a call from Maurice, “Marguerite, get to The Atlas Private Hospital immediately. There’s a child whose blood type highly matches your DNA!”
