Chapter 545
At her words, Frederick’s face darkened. He asked, “Are you telling me the scent of this blush is identical to Polar
Radiance?”
Marguerite, puzzled, nodded in confirmation. “Yeah, that’s right!”
What was so surprising about that?
She couldn’t figure out what was wrong, but Frederick’s expression grew stormier by the second. His breath was
hot on Marguerite’s face as he declared with an air of
righteousness, “Absolutely not!”
Marguerite was taken aback, her heartbeat halting abruptly. She instinctively leaned back, swiftly breaking free
from his embrace.

Why not, indeed? It was all because subconsciously, he believed Polar Radiance was a scent that belonged solely to
him.
He was the only one who should be enveloped by its fragrance, wanting selfishly to claim it as his own. He
straightened up, his gaze piercing and fierce, “No reason needed. I do not approve of this plan.”
Marguerite was flabbergasted. Why would he disapprove outright?
When Polar Radiance was set to launch, the anticipation had been palpable!
Now that she was incorporating its formula into a blush, it was bound to be the season’s blockbuster product.
Yet he had dismissed her plan without a second thought, without even a semblance of an explanation.
Marguerite was fuming. “Frederick, can you stop being so irrationally decisive for once? Even if you reject my

“Marguerite, do you intend to rehash the same old dish until it’s burnt out? Have you exhausted all your creativity

If Polar Radiance meant so much to him, how had he survived those three years at Vespera?
Was it Polar Radiance he cared about, or was it her?
Marguerite had no clue.
She composed herself, her tone softening but still edged with defiance, “I created the perfume. When did it
become yours?”
“Do I need to remind you that I bought the rights to Polar Radiance three years ago?”
“The rights were purchased by LuxeScents International! And LuxeScents International is no longer yours!”
Their words flew like rapid gunfire, and Marguerite’s last statement plunged them both into silence.
Frederick, agitated, lit up a cigarette and took drag after drag.
Perhaps he was inhaling too fiercely, his throat growing parched while his nose tingled with a barely perceptible
sourness.
Indeed. LuxeScents International was no longer his empire.
