Chapter 84 He only became more disgusted with her

Before he could finish speaking, John walked in from outside and respectfully said to Raymond, “President, the Fair family called and said they want to have a meal with you.”

A hint of mockery flashed in Raymond’s eyes, a meal? They probably heard the news that the old man was coming back and thought they could completely tie him down, right? He was truly fed up with this family.

“Decline it,” Raymond said.

Upon hearing this, John nodded respectfully but asked further. “Mr. Sheng said that Miss Fair has been looking forward to meeting you and even specially prepared some of her signature dishes.”

Selena, the protagonist, sat across from Raymond and heard this. The grip on her spoon suddenly tightened. She could feel her father’s eagerness to push her out to win Raymond’s favor.

Disappointment and ridicule flashed in her eyes. Too bad for her father’s efforts because of this, Raymond would only dislike her more.

As expected, Raymond’s dislike was obvious in his eyes, and his words were harsh, almost like a reprimand.

“Tell the Fair family to fulfill the contract properly, and not to have any other delusions.” John. nodded and quietly left, just as he came.

Raymond looked at Selena, “What were you about to say just now?” Selena smiled and said.

“What I wanted to say was, I’m actually already full, Mr. Montague do you still want to eat?”

Raymond lost his appetite after being interrupted by the Fair family’s business. Selena got up to clean up,

Besides their business dealings, the two of them were strangers without any emotional foundation. She was just disappointed with her father’s words.

Clearly, it was her father who wanted to meet Raymond and use it as an opportunity to improve the relationship with the Montague family, but he used her, a daughter who was outside visiting her mother’s grave, as an excuse.

She had never felt her father was biased before. Back then, it was indeed because of her that Beatrice was not immediately brought back to the Fair family. But she couldn’t recall exactly

when their father daughter relationship started to change,

Raymond’s voice interrupted her train of thought. “Someone will come to collect these things, you may leave.”

Selena looked up at him and said, “Alright, Mr. Montague will only be back in New York the day after tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow,” he replied.

The necessary discussions have already been completed. He was satisfied with the Ridge-field project and could see the sincerity from the higher ups. Whether a company can develop locally depends on the level of support from the local area.

With the Montague family’s funding, the project team will follow up on all development plans,

Selena had originally wanted to ask her uncle one more question about whether the area where his house was located would be demolished.

However, she realized that even if it were to be demolished, all the money would probably end up in Megan’s pocket..

Her hesitation was noticed by Raymond.

With a gentle tap on the keyboard, the man spoke, “If you need money, you can buy several more. houses in the Renhe district.”

It was almost as if he wanted to directly say that the Renhe district would definitely be demolished.

Moreover, it would be the order from the government, and the compensation would surely be

substantial.

Her uncle’s house was in the Renhe district, and now that she knew their houses could be demolished, she felt relieved.

As for herself, while she was currently a bit short on money, she couldn’t bring herself to buy others’ houses knowing this information. It would be profiting at others’ expense, and she couldn’t

do such a thing.

“No need, the Renhe district is mainly made up of single story houses. Most of the residents are elderly people left behind or middle-aged people unable to afford houses in the city center. If I were to buy their houses, where would they live in the future? Even if I have the money, I

wouldn’t feel at ease.”

Raymond’s hands paused on the keyboard, his tone becoming even more indifferent.

“In business, we earn more money within the confines of the law. Information asymmetry sometimes a resource.”

Many people made money by exploiting information asymmetry.

Selena smiled, “I understand, thank you for Mr. Montague’s kind offer. I didn’t mean to secretly criticize you, Mr. Montague. It’s just that I have lived there for a while and I’m acquainted with them. I can’t do such a thing.”

“Alright.”

Raymond’s gaze fell back to his screen as he put on his Bluetooth earphones, seeming to be ready to start a meeting. It seemed like it was just a casual mention.

Selena also didn’t pay much attention to it.

Back in her own room, she took a bath and went to sleep.

The next morning, she bid farewell to Brian and Erin. Erin prepared some sausages and her own pickled vegetables for her to take back.

Selena didn’t actually like eating these things anymore, but she didn’t want them to worry, so she put everything in the trunk.

Megan sneered on the side, “How could those city people be interested in your homemade stuff? Even if you bring it, they would just replace it dirty. It’s better not to bring anything, and you can sell them later for some money.”

Selena coldly looked at her, “If you have nothing good to say, it is better you act like a mute.”

Megan immediately got fired up and turned to Erin, “Mom, see, I was right. Now she’s showing her true colors and even yelling at someone her elder.”
