Before Faye could inform Taylor of Frederic's rousing, Solomon rushed in."Dad, you're finally awake. I'm so glad!" Solomon threw himself before Frederic's bed, his face filled with tears."It's been more than a year, and you're finally awake. I always believed that my prayers and hard work would pay off, that you'd get better, Dad. "I'm really so glad …" As Solomon sobbed, he held Frederic's hand.However, Frederic responded with a dismissive snort. He muttered, "Who are you? I'm not dead yet. What are you crying about?"Solomon found it difficult to continue crying upon hearing his father's snarky response. He was at a loss for how to respond.Faye, who was standing to the side, asked lazily, "Don't you recognize him, Mr. Shaw Senior?""He called me 'Dad,' didn't he?" Frederic frowned. Glancing at Solomon, he said in a disdainful voice, "I don't have a son as old as him.Don't tell me you're working together to deceive me," he exclaimed. "Is it all to secure an inheritance
Love's Masquerade Chapter 138 Take Responsibility
Faced with the siblings' insistent claims, Frederic had a confused look in his eyes.Then, his pleading gaze fell upon Faye.Faye smiled faintly. She expressed that she was only an outsider, and she had no intention of helping Frederic.She even gave Taylor a look, preparing to make her escape.Taylor seethed with anger at the unfolding situation. But following his anger came the heavy realization of his helplessness.This was a problem within the Shaw family. He couldn't meddle in their affairs.His role within the Shaw family was strictly that of a family doctor. His sole responsibility was to provide regular checkups for Frederic to ensure his well-being.Over the past year or so, Taylor had even endured mistreatment from the Shaw family simply because he was Cedric's friend.Fortunately, he still had some skills and capabilities. He would not have been able to stay here otherwise, all things considered."Connor, come here." Seeing that Faye was about to escape, Frederic ca
Love's Masquerade Chapter 139 Please Ignore Me
After the private conversation with Faye, Solomon and Beatrice reentered the room to speak with Frederic.Even though Frederic gave them the cold shoulder, they were extremely patient.Shortly after, Belle arrived with a tray of soup and some food. She eagerly spoon-fed Frederic, but he soon expressed his fatigue and requested that everyone except Faye leave the room.The siblings had no choice but to leave.With disgruntled expressions, they all adjourned to Solomon's study.This was especially true for Beatrice. She wore a stern look on her face as she asked, "Solomon, do you trust Dr. Connor?"Belle interjected calmly, "Don't forget, Cedric hired her."I've done some research on her. The relationship between Cedric and Dr. Connor isn't that complicated."Dr. Connor probably isn't as skilled as she claims to be. She might have been boasting about her abilities just because she's proficient in a particular area," Solomon mused with a piercing gaze."Nonetheless, Cedric was th
Love's Masquerade Chapter 140 Losers
The Pembrook Security Team was a specialized unit dispatched by the country to safeguard the borders situated at the mouth of Pembrook.Cedric had heard a lot of rumors about the security team. The team leader was said to be impartial, decisive, and ruthless. The many people who tried to cause trouble here were deterred by the mere mention of his name.For those who remained skeptical of the rumors and dared to challenge the leader's authority, their outcomes all ended terrible—and there were no exceptions.Cedric's men often had to traverse the region near the mouth of Pembrook. But because Cedric was always careful and never allowed room for weakness or error, he had never gotten in trouble with the notorious security team.Thus, no matter how powerful his opponents were, they had never caused him trouble.This was his first time dealing with the security team.When Cedric's car arrived at their base, it was already past midnight.It was eerily silent. Typically, this was th
Love's Masquerade Chapter 141 You Are Not Worthy of Fighting Stoneface
Cedric stood at a distance away, watching as Charles and his men struggled against their attackers. He seemed to have no intention of helping the latter.Rocco, who was standing behind Cedric, watched on as well. After ten minutes, it became evident that Charles was going to be on the losing end. Even though he and the girl were skilled fighters, they were no match for Markel's men. Markel's forces not only possessed exceptional combat abilities, they also outnumbered the two greatly. Cedric figured that Charles and his partner wouldn't be able to hold out for more than another ten minutes. Should their reinforcements fail to make it on time, Markel would undoubtedly win this battle. Markel despised the security team. It was because of them that he had to suffer so much. Though the former leader of this area, he had been reduced to a mere pawn who depended on running errands to make a living. Now, the security team was making even that difficult for him. Naturally, it was cl
Love's Masquerade Chapter 142 Everything Hurts
Thanks to Cedric, the tide of the battle quickly swayed in Charles' favor. Charles snapped back to his senses and began fighting back. With Rocco's assistance, Markel and his men were soon subdued. It was then that Charles' support team finally arrived. They took the men away and cleared the scene."Charles! T-The antidote!" Despite seeing his men get taken away, Markel could only force his hands to stay still at his sides and resist the urge to claw at his throat. He writhed in pain on the ground, releasing grating screams. Charles watched Markel with a wicked smirk. "Markel, evil never wins. Serves you right."It was obvious that Markel didn't hear a word Charles said as he thrashed around, begging Charles for the antidote.Pleased, Charles tossed Markel a bottle of water. "Drink it!"Without pausing to see what was in front of him, Markel grabbed the bottle and chugged all its contents. It was then that the burning in his throat finally eased slightly. He sat on the gr
Love's Masquerade Chapter 143 Follow the Protocol
After returning to her room, Faye put her headphones back on and heard Charles softly but desperately calling out for her. "What's wrong?" Don't tell her that Charles had been taken down in the short time she'd been away.If that were the case, she might need to reconsider who she picked as the deputy team leader.It'd be embarrassing to have such a weak deputy team leader. "Finally!" Charles almost gave up in despair. He was relieved to finally hear Faye's voice again. "I was wondering if you know someone called 'C'?"C?Faye narrowed her eyes. "Just tell me."Charles composed himself and said in all seriousness, "Remember how you asked me to look into XL after a batch of goods was detained last time? Well, I didn't pay too much attention that time. However, a man called 'C' came in just now."Charles carried on. "It seems like he wants to talk to me about the goods, and I happened to remember you requesting these documents. So I was wondering how you'd like me to deal w
Love's Masquerade Chapter 144 You Are the One Who Should Leave
Faye was surprised when she received Mauve's call since this was the first time Mauve had called her. "Hello?" Faye went to the balcony to pick up the call. "Faye? It's me, Mauve." Mauve's voice was shaky. A bad feeling arose, and Faye quickly replied, "Yes, it's me. What's wrong?""Is Avery with you?" Mauve asked. "Last night, she received a call not too long after you left. She said she needed to deal with an urgent matter and rushed back to the city. "However, she never replied when I asked her whether she was home yet. I tried calling her a few times but she never picked up …""Please calm down, Mrs. Stewart. She might have gotten so busy that she forgot to reply to you. I'll head over to her place right now." It wouldn't be the first time Avery had been unreachable after a night of drinking, so Faye didn't think too much about it. She consoled Avery's mom and drove out. Frederic scowled upon learning Faye had left and silently admonished her for leaving him behind.
