Chapter 53: Pick a Time to Get the Marriage Certificate
"Miss Evans, please don't hesitate any longer, my boss is already in quite the dilemma. Time won't wait
for anyone!"
Otto moaned on the other end of the line.
Gwenda let out a sigh.
When she recalled the way Olivier saved her while they were both in the fire, along with everything else
that came after that, Gwenda could not help but feel sympathetic towards his plight.
Sighing once more, she asked resignedly, "How do you want me to help?"
Otto was delighted when he heard that. He quickly said, "He's already at the banquet. You can just
head over right now! Remember, you've got to be ruthless! You've got to be imposing! You've got to let
the other women know that this is your man, and they can't take him from you!"
Olivier stressed repeatedly with excitement.
Gwenda said nothing, thinking, "What the hell are these?"

"Miss Evans, do you understand?"
"Basically, I just need to ruin the banquet, right?"
Gwenda concluded.
Otto chuckled. "Yup, that's it. You're pretty smart!"
Gwenda thought for a moment and said, "Alright, give me the address, I'm coming over."
"Gotcha."
When Gwenda put down her phone, she did not delay further and went over to the location that Otto
had sent her.
Originally, her plan was to just walk in and drag Olivier away. But when she got to the hotel, she
realised that she had severely underestimated the wealthy in how far they can go when hosting blind
date banquets...
There were a lot of luxury cars parked at the entrance of the largest hotel in the city. At a glance,
Gwenda saw Audis, Maseratis, and Lamborghinis all over the place. They made Gwenda's Buick look
small and cramped in comparison.
After parking, she began to reevaluate her decision, wondering if she should take the chance to leave.
But unfortunately, she was caught by Otto, who had been waiting at the entrance of the hotel.
"Miss Evans!" He waved excitedly to her and helped her open the door.
"Miss Evans, you're finally here."
"Yeah, do we go in now?" Gwenda sighed internally, knowing that there was no way out of this
awkward situation she had dragged herself into as she killed the engine and got out of the car.
"Yes, I'll take you there."
As he spoke, Otto walked before her and led her in.
They took the lift to the banquet hall on the highest floor. This hall was enormous and had been split
into two by a partition, with one half being a waiting area as there were many beautifully dressed
women sitting there.
"The other half must be where the blind dates are taking place..." Gwenda thought as she looked
through the crack in the partition where she vaguely discerned Olivier's silhouette.
When the women saw Otto leading Gwenda in, they threw her inquisitive looks. That caused Gwenda
to feel more nervous than ever as she tried to figure out a plan to help Olivier.
Just then, an assertive female voice came from behind the partition...
"Mr. Petit, let's not beat around the bush any further. I think that everything about you — your family
background, career, and appearance — are well-matched with mine. Pick a time and let's go get the
marriage certificate."
Hearing this, Gwenda slowed down.
"Man, this girl is aggressive for sure.
She's being so straightforward?" She thought blankly.
Noticing this, Otto looked back at her and asked, "Miss Evans?"
"Mr. Roux, I don't think... it's appropriate for me to appear out of nowhere."
Lowering her voice, Gwenda said, "How about I go home instead?"
"No way!"
Otto became stern in an instant, "Miss Evans, you're here to save a life! Didn't you see the horrible,
beastly looks that those women are giving my boss?"
Gwenda said nothing but she was frustrated and nervous.
It was precisely because she had seen those looks that she did not want to make an appearance.
After all, destroying one's marriage would shorten one's life!
