Billionaire and His Scheming Beauty novel Chapter 10

Ah, so Olivier's marriage proposal was rejected, that was why he drank that night...which also opened up a window for Odette to interfere, and in turn, Fleur to strike.

So registering for this marriage certificate with herself not only solved Grandma's issue but also gave a blaring signal to Virginie herself.

If Fleur went and reclused with the Martinez family's Grandma for two years, never to leave the house throughout, Olivier could do whatever he pleased outside, continue living his life with his lover.

After two years of reclusing, Olivier could spin up a random reason to divorce Fleur, and that would be that. He would not be affected at all.

It was apparent now this marriage certificate that bound Fleur and Olivier together would benefit the man greatly.

That blank sheet of paper now seemed to make a lot more sense.

Fleur tucked her hands in her pockets. She asked in a cold and calm manner, "You don't seem to like Virginie very much. Why else would you agree to help me set him up if you knew they were together?"

Odette curled her lip and sneered. "What's to like about her? Y City once considered her to be as beautiful as me, do you think I can stand that?"

Before Fleur could respond, she saw Olivier's eyes on her. They were dark and icy.

In that hooded glare of his was a clear message: "You should not have come."

Fleur shot him a coy smile, then strode towards him.

Virginie was still clinging to him, crying, "Olivier...what can I do? I can't forget him. How...How could he leave me..."

"Enough." Olivier's patience seemed to have worn thin. "You have to stop these thoughts. We need to get you home."

Holding onto Virginie, he was prepared to ignore Fleur entirely.

"Mr Martinez." Fleur called, her features rosy in the pink lights of the club. She continued,

"Get your hands off her."
