Saoirse was slightly moved by Reid's words. Her pretty blue eyes glinted with a little hesitation.
"Mr. Perry, what should I do then?" Saoirse whispered after a long time.
"Miss Saoirse, haven't I told you before how you can capture my brother's heart? You should take advantage of my brother's guilt towards you!"
"It's no use. I begged him, but he still wants to be with the other woman. He would rather I kill him than be with me. Mr. Perry, what you taught me was useless," Saoirse said hopelessly.
Reid was shocked to hear that.
But he quickly recomposed himself.
He glanced at Saoirse from head to toe and his gaze caused Saoirse to tremble slightly.
"Mr. Perry, please don't look at me like that," said Saoirse.
Reid stared at Saoirse in the eye, "Miss Welmert, you are a beauty. I have seen many women but none of them as beautiful as you. Your beauty is a gift from God. It's a pity..."
He paused and said, "It's a pity that you don't know how to make use of your beauty. No man can resist a beauty like you but beauty is futile if you don't know how to capture a man's heart and deal with all the other women who want your man."
Saoirse eyes flashed with confusion, "Mr. Perry, I don't understand what you said nor do I know what you would like me to do."
Reid snorted.
Indeed, Saoirse was a beauty without brains.
Reid suddenly thought of someone.
And that was Caroline.
Caroline was a smart, capable woman. Reid believed that if she had managed to land herself in a marriage with Matthew before and even saved Matthew once, that she would have been able to deal with Selina.
Caroline was an extremely intelligent woman.
Of course, there were many other women who were smarter than Caroline but right now she was the only one on the same boat with him.
Reid suddenly had a bold idea.
He lowered his voice, "Miss Welmert, since you want to leave why not give yourself some more time? If it succeeds, I'll take you to meet someone. She'll teach you how to compete with another woman for a man. Do you want to try it?"
Saoirse's breathing quickened.
Reid's words were tempting to her.
"Mr. Perry, is there really such a person?" Saoirse asked.
"Yes. Just give it a try, you lose anything, and if it succeeds then my brother is yours," Reid persuaded.
Saoirse was tempted by Reid.
She nodded without hesitation.
Reid was glad to see that she was sold on the idea.
"But Miss Welmert, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone about this. You can only meet this person at my place and you can not breathe a word to others about her existence, including my brother. I need your promise on that."
Saoirse immediately promised, "Mr. Perry, I will not tell anyone. Don't worry."
Reid believed her.
"Then I will bring you over to meet this person later tonight. You should rest well for now," Reid said.
Saoirse's heart beat faster.
Reid seemed to have given her another glimmer of hope when she was helpless.
During the afternoon, Reid called Caroline and told her about his plan.
Caroline agreed immediately.
She had been bored, staying in Reid's villa. She was delighted to finally have a task to do.
It would also be great if she could use another woman to go against Selina.
In the evening, Reid invited Saoirse to his villa.
This was the first time Caroline had met Saoirse in person. She stared at Saoirse's beauty in awe.
Saoirse was so much more beautiful in person than in pictures.
Caroline had initially thought that she herself was pretty enough, but never had she expected to meet such a beautiful woman in her life.
