Female Novel
Chapter 131
“You’re the one who tried to seduce me while in my arms!” By flipping himself over, Pierre trappedSelena underneath him in the blink of an eye, pressing his full weight onto her. “I should finish youoff right here, right now!”
It wasn’t until he reached out to unbutton her clothes that she realized that she was in imminentdanger. While they might be horsing around before that, he was being serious now. “Hold on,Pierre! Are you being serious?”
“Of course! Why would I not want to be serious?” While he spoke, he pulled out all of her buttons inone go impatiently, which rained on the floor.
With her eyes still closed, she yelled, “You pervert! Did you plan everything that happened duringthe wedding?”
His movements came to an abrupt stop. “How did you know?”
“I guessed it.” Selena raised her chin.
Then, he sat up and lit a cigarette. “Sure. Tell me your reasoning.”
Sitting up in a hurry, she held her shirt together using her hands as all of the buttons had beenpulled off. “Let’s begin from the night of the wedding. Why would we encounter the group of peopleafter we left in that secret passage? Although the island wasn’t that big, neither was it small.However, the attackers caught us despite the fact that there were so many people fleeing thescene.”
Arching his brow, Pierre said nothing, so Selena went on with her explanation.
“Besides, you’re a smart person, so you wouldn’t have allowed yourself to be captured so easily.Other than that, it was apparent that the attackers were planning to kill you since they went to such
great lengths to trash the wedding night. It would make sense that they were well-prepared to godown with you, but you easily subdued them after they caught us. You might be a great fighter, butthey should logically have put in the effort to study you and come up with countermeasures sincethey were your enemies. They wouldn’t have allowed you to retaliate that easily. By the way, did youalso prepare the boats? After we escaped, they only shot at us without even giving chase, whichwas even weirder. Did they forget about their objective?”
Selena’s conjecture made sense. Surely, she did have her doubts, but no matter how she looked atit, she didn’t think he had reason to plan for such an elaborate scheme to be carried out during hisown wedding. Therefore, she didn’t think much of it until everything clicked together when she sawthe few men.

“But I don’t understand your reasons for doing all this. That was your wedding!” That was the onlypart which she couldn’t quite grasp. Since Pierre and Meredith were bound to get wedded sooner orlater, he had no need to come up with a scheme to ruin his own wedding.
Puffing out a ring of smoke, he asked, “Can’t you figure it out, smarty-pants?”
Selena stared into his eyes before something dawned on her. Was it because he didn’t want to getmarried? His aim was to cancel the wedding! The Fowlers would be disgraced if he canceled thewedding beforehand, but if the wedding was forcefully canceled because of unforeseencircumstances, he wouldn’t bring shame to the family. “Was it because… you… don’t want to marryMeredith?” she asked tentatively.
“You’re smart, little fella! Just like my woman!” Pierre observed her proudly.
“But…” However, the answer only further confused her. Weren’t they supposed to get marriedsooner or later? Why must he go to such great lengths to cancel the wedding? Did Meredith
somehow do something wrong?
While puffing on his cigarette, he produced quite a lot of smoke, which made her cough. Uponglancing at her, he snubbed the cigarette in the ashtray. “I only came to realize that my father trickedme when you presented the invitation card. He decided to hold the wedding before telling me thetruth, so that I would force myself into getting married in order to save their dignity.”
