Reclaiming Her Heart -
Chapter 205 Didn't Expect, You're Into Good looks
The car slowly drove away.
John was sitting in the car and he was the one who could most intuitively feel Raymond's mood changes.
Luckily, the president's mood has improved a bit, otherwise the higher-ups of the Montague family would have suffered.
Meanwhile, Selena stood in place, waiting for Raymond's car to drive away before squatting down and making eye contact with Max.
She had raised Max for so many years, and although it was indeed cute, obedient, and non-aggressive, she had never shown such enthusiasm towards Shelley. Only towards Raymond, She seemed to want to wag her tail off since their first encounter.
Selena cupped Max's face and gave it a little rub.
Could it be that Max, being female, innocently admired Raymond's appearance?
Selena found it hard to argue against that point.
Her fingertips tapped on Max's head.
"I didn't realize you were also one for appearances."
After walking Max, Selena returned to Ashbourne Manor. There she encountered Catherine, who had come to Ashbourne Manor to investigate.
Catherine seemed very concerned about something between Raymond and Selena. She went upstairs first to check, making sure Selena still lived in the room farthest from Raymond's master bedroom, before she breathed a sigh of relief. "I heard the old man gave you another gift?"
The incident where Mr. Montague Sr. punished Raymond was not kept secret from anyone in the Montague family. But no one took the initiative to contact Raymond's wife and inform her of the matter. This clearly showed how marginalized Selena's identity was within the Montague family.
When Catherine heard about her son's affair, she was initially in disbelief, but then felt elated.
Back then, she didn't like Olivia either, thinking that the Stone family was not a match for the Montague family.
Raymond had left home for three years after marrying Selena, and during that time, they hardly even spoke on the phone.
Catherine had already lost one son and didn't want any conflicts with her youngest son, so she reluctantly accepted Olivia.
Thus, she had always cautioned Selena not to have any other thoughts.
Now, upon hearing about the existence of another woman, Catherine was even more delighted.
If Olivia wasn't the only choice for her son, he had plenty of other options.
There were many well-off socialites in New York who were much better suited for the Montague family than someone from Selena's humble background.
When Selena saw Catherine in the living room, she was relieved that she had taken Max to the back room first.
Catherine's visit was nothing more than a show of power, occasionally reminding Selena not to forget her place.
However, when Selena insisted on staying put, she left in a grand manner.
Before leaving, she added a parting shot, "Raymond would never be interested in you, even if you were to succeed in climbing into his bed one day. The Fair family is not worthy of giving me grandchildren." Selena remained silent and obedient, standing in her place.
Seeing her like this, Catherine didn't feel relieved or satisfied, but rather stifled.
After scolding her for a few more minutes, Catherine snorted coldly and left for good.
Once she left, Fiona emerged from the side, sighing..
"Miss Fair, should I still tell the old master about Mrs. Montague's frequent visits? It must be making you feel upset."
"Fiona, there's really no need."
She didn't want to stay in the Montague family, so she didn't feel wronged.
Upstairs, Selena thought that today would be spent this way, but in the evening, her father called.
She instinctively didn't want to answer, but thinking about his liver cancer, she had no choice but to compromise.
"Dad."
"Selena, your mother's classmate has come to our house. They said they have something to discuss with you, and it could also lead to future collaborations between us and their company." Deliberately looking for her?
Mom and dad's classmate?
If it was about work, they wouldn't need to come to the Fair family.
Selena drove over and when she entered the living room, she saw that the person sitting opposite James was none other than Mr. Wright.
Her face darkened.
When Mr. Wright saw her, a smirk appeared on his lips.
"Selena!, I never would have thought that you're the daughter of an old classmate."
Selena saw the pile of gifts on the coffee table, the most precious of which was a pair of ancient paintings, valued at four million dollars, where werethe authentic ones that James had been looking for. Judging by James' conversation with Mr. Wright, it seemed they had been talking for quite a while. When he saw her return, he waved for her to come over.
"Selena, come over and greet Mr. Wright."
