Chapter 226 You Should Marry Me!
After lifting the nkets, Pierre then got out of bed. “Hey, this is ridiculous. Weren’t you alright with it
last night?” “Shut up! You’re not allowed to mention what happenedst night! You’ve ruined me!”
“But we’ve already done it, so what else can I do, mdy?” “Marry me.” “Okay!” he blurted out without
thinking.
As soon as he said so, Selena stopped crying. Instead, she was gazing at him with a cheeky look on
her face. “You said it yourself, so there’s no going back.”
For a few seconds, he was startled, realizing btedly that he had been tricked by her. “How dare you
deceive me!”

“Why can’t I? Anyway, I already recorded everything you said!” Holding her phone up while shaking it,
she then left the ward in light and bouncing steps.
On the other hand, Pierre was observing her retreating figure while feeling both frustrated and
heartbroken. It was tantly obvious how afraid of abandonment she was, as she wouldn’t have pulled
such a trick to get him to propose to her otherwise.
Despite being the president of apany as well as having a worth of over a hundred million that
attracted a lot of suitors, she had lost all of her self confidence due to how hurt she was after her first
rtionship. In short, she didn’t feel secure in her rtionships at all.
Breakfast was ready when Selena was back, so they ate together. Looking at the bouquet of flowers,
Pierre said, “The flowers have wilted, so let’s throw them away.”
Upon checking the flowers, she noticed that a few had wilted indeed. Considering how much of a
perfectionist he was, he would find even such minor defects intolerable, so she replied, “Okay. I’ll throw
them awayter.”
Meanwhile, he observed Selena while she ate. Judging from how engrossed she was in her food, the
flowers didn’t seem to affect her. “Where did you find your assistant?”
“Assistant? Do you mean Linda? I hired her through thepany’s recruitment process. What’s
wrong?” She stared at him in confusion.
“It’s nothing. She seems toe in quite handy, so I would like to borrow her from you.”
“Ha, in your dreams! Now that you’re trying to take my assistant from me, are you nning on
acquiring mypany as well someday?”
“I already imed you, so nothing is getting away from my clutches!” He arched his brow. “Have you
forgotten that we just became onest night?”
A blush crept onto Selena’s face once more. “Get the f*ck away from me!” With that, she sat down on
the sofa, all the while keeping a safe distance from Pierre.
On the other hand, Pierre didn’t note any inconsistencies in her behavior, so she was probably
unaware of what happened. As a woman, she should have reacted more obviously the moment he
mentioned Linda if Selena was the one who hade up with the scheme to bait him into sleeping
with her, but that didn’t seem to be the case. Therefore, he determined that there was something fishy
with Linda instead.
When Selena was out of the room, he made a call. “Start an investigation on Linda. I need all of her
info.”
Niall, who was on the other end of the phone, had yet to catch on to what he meant.
“What’s with the silence? Did you hear me?” Noting the prolonged silence on his end, Pierre pressed
for an answer.
“Oh, Mr. Fowler, I… Are we really going to investigate her background?” Knowing Pierre, Niall was
certain that he would never investigate anyone without reason, so the fact that he decided to
investigate Linda meant that she was a somewhat suspicious character.
“Of course! Do it immediately! Make sure that you don’t miss out on anything! You’ll be held
ountable if you mess this up!” After that, he hung up the phone without even pausing for a second.
I need to know more about Linda. Just when Pierre was pondering on Linda’s role in the incident, his
phone rang. His brows furrowed together as soon as he saw the number, but he picked up nheless
after giving it some thought.
