Frederick’s new building site was a considerable distance from Fragrance Finesse.
Although he said he would be late, when she and Maurice got out of the car, they saw Frederick standing near the construction site with Yuna.
At that moment, he was adjusting a safety helmet on Yuna’s head, tilting his head as if asking her something.
Marguerite watched from a distance and found they looked like a picture–perfect couple.
Even though they were not deliberately flaunting their affection, their every move exuded a sense of romance.
Maurice’s gaze also fell on them, his tone full of provocation, “I’ve been so good to you. I gave you the chance to see him since you wanted.”
Marguerite turned her head and looked at him unhappily, “What are you trying to say?”
Just then, a worker respectfully brought over two safety helmets.
Maurice took one and put it on Marguerite as if nobody else was there.
He put it on for her slowly and carefully, but his words were far from polite, “There are no eternal friends or enemies in the business world, even if I have schemed against him in the past, he would still choose to work with me when it comes to interests.”
Having finally put on the helmet, Maurice’s large palm pressed down on Marguerite’s shoulder, he leaned closer to her, his magnetic voice carrying an almost bewitching undertone, “Marguerite, he’s not
the same Frederick anymore, your stubbornness is worthless in his eyes.”
Marguerite gritted her teeth, “So what? I’d rather be tortured to death by him than marry you!”
Under the sunlight, Maurice’s smile was so beautiful that it seemed unreal, like a beautiful illusion. But his crimson lips were wide open, revealing a row of gleaming white teeth. And the look he gave Marguerite was like a predator eyeing its prey.
“You might want to throw yourself at him, but you should also ask if Frederick is willing to accept you.” Having said this, he put on his own safety helmet and led Marguerite towards Frederick and Yuna.
Marguerite followed step by step, and Frederick who haunted her dreams was getting closer and closer. Her heart was once again restless.
In her anxiety, she finally understood Maurice’s intentions. He knew that her stubbornness was nothing but a joke in Frederick’s eyes, so he made her face Frederick again and
again, reminding her how foolish and shameful her actions were. But did Maurice think

she would give up loving Frederick and willingly return to his side to become his wife? That was the real joke.
“Weren’t you supposed to be late? How come you arrived earlier than us?” Maurice asked casually.
“The place where Yuna was staying is not far from the construction site, I was afraid she would wait for too long, so I took a short cut.”
Maurice laughed at this, “Bro, you guys have a good relationship.”
Bro? Marguerite was taken aback.
She knew Maurice better than anyone else. He had never treated Frederick as family, and now he had the audacity to call him “bro“? It was so fake!
Frederick replied, “Aren’t you and Marguerite the same?” He was looking at Marguerite when he said this, but his eyes were calm and provocative.
Marguerite met his gaze and suddenly felt a sense of vertigo. She quickly looked away and said nothing more.
Yuna, on the other hand, walked up and greeted Marguerite warmly, “Marguerite, we finally meet. How have you been?”
“I’m okay.” Marguerite had no intention of catching up, she glanced at Yuna’s high heels, “Aren’t you afraid of twisting your ankle with those high heels?”
Yuna pouted, looking like a blooming white lotus, her eyes filled with self–blame.
“I didn’t know we were coming to the construction site today…” she looked at Frederick and asked, “Freddie, will I delay your work?”
“No.” Frederick reached out to her gently, “Come here, let me lead you.”
