Reclaiming Her Heart -
Chapter 263 Bringing Raymond's Wife Over
Raymond raised his gaze and looked at Caterlington.
Caterlington seemed very interested in replaceing a topic with Olivia.
Raymond's intuition was sharp, so he frowned for a moment, but he couldn't figure out the key at once.
Seemingly casually, Caterlington made a sarcastic comment, and even helped Raymond intercept the drinks from others, so Raymond ended up in peace.
The others in the private room continued talking about recent topics, mostly about their circle. Olivia kept sitting beside Raymond, smiling, with a glimmer of excitement in her eyes. Now that everyone was here, why not bring Raymond's wife over and give her a taste of power?
Olivia's lips curled up as she sent a message to Catherine without permission.
She had a very unpleasant argument with Catherine before, as Catherine didn't approve of the Stone family and didn't allow Olivia to be with Raymond.
But things were different now. Just when Olivia had decided to return to her country, Catherine contacted her, saying that if Olivia still loved Raymond, she could marry him once Raymond divorced his wife.
Catherine's attitude had softened, and it seemed like she favored Olivia more than the wife from Raymond's family.
"Auntie, do you know Raymond's wife's phone number? I want to talk to her."
Due to Olivia's issue, Catherine had a unpleasant argument with Raymond before, but later on, she found out that Raymond seemed to have encountered some trouble.
As for other women, Olivia only thought that since Raymond was not exclusive to her, she could introduce him to other socialites in their circle rather than him seeking outside relationships.
So now, Catherine was not as enthusiastic towards Olivia as before. They didn't even exchange pleasantries; she just directly forwarded Selena's phone number.
Olivia looked at the number and smirked. Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, she sent a text message.
"Raymond is drunk. Come pick him up at this private room."
At this moment, Selena was still worrying about the design plans for Manhattan. She had made several revisions but was still unsatisfied.
Although she had managed to gain more convenience from Cornerstone Construction through this opportunity, the design plans were still up to her.
She rubbed her temples and heard her phone ring.
She picked it up and was somewhat surprised.
It was from a senior executive of the Fair family, named Paddy. He was one of the earliest people to follow James, but as he grew older, his contributions to the company decreased.
James's decision to keep these people was already considered indecisive. Publicly traded companies needed younger blood, and these individuals who had been with him from the beginning should have been given some stock dividends and asked to leave. But James insisted on keeping them, which led the Fair family's company to still adhere to old-fashioned methods in some actions.
This was James's kindness, but the business world was ruthless.
Selena hadn't been in contact with Uncle Paddy for a long time because when she married Raymond three years ago, she had told her father that if she wanted to make good use of the three billion invested by the Montague family, she needed to thoroughly reform the company and let go of all the old employees.
Paddy happened to overhear this conversation, and since he was one of the old employees, it created some animosity between them. But why was he contacting her now?
"Selena, there's something I need to tell you in person. It's a significant matter, and I don't dare discuss it directly on the phone. Come to this place, and I'll wait for you until eleven. If you don't come by eleven, I'll pretend tonight's events never happened."
Selena looked at the message and confirmed that it was indeed from Paddy.
In fact, when she was young, she had a good relationship with this uncle.
But after the conflict, Paddy accused her of being heartless and bridge-burning, so he never visited the Fair family again.
Selena knew Paddy well. He was an honest person, but also very traditional and strict, adhering to the ways of old cadres and not tolerating any disobedience from younger people.
Unable to make any progress on the design draft at the moment, Selena reluctantly got up, changed her clothes, and went to the bar.
Little did she know that as soon as Paddy hung up the phone, a secretive smile appeared on his face.
After the phone call, several men rushed into the private room, forcefully pouring drinks down Paddy's throat.
Paddy was intoxicated, his eyes rolling back as he vomited, but they kept pouring.
"You old fool, if you want to stay alive, mind your own business, you know? It's your own fault! Who told you to witness that scene?"
