Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 561 Which Village Did the Fool Come From?

Selena had just arrived on the third floor when she was accosted by a sleazy man.

The man's hand was about to reach her chest, and she tried to dodge, but he persisted.

After finally shaking off the man, Selena sat down on the sofa, only to see Olivia and a few other women approaching.

Selena immediately felt unlucky.

Olivia pretended not to see her.

But Selena's outfit tonight was too eye-catching. The gazes of the other women all turned towards her, including one of Olivia's friends, Madison Hawthorne, who had recently won the newcomer award and was probably here because of Olivia. In this circle, many people respected Olivia.

Olivia's identity as Raymond's ex-girlfriend was really quite useful.

Madison saw Selena's dress, and her eyes lit up. "Isn't this the dress that just walked the runway three days ago? It's the only one in the world, and it hasn't even been put on sale yet!"

Madison's voice directly attracted the attention of the surrounding women. Women were always particularly sensitive to clothing, especially this group of women who often attend fashion shows.

So, the few people who were originally at a distance instantly approached, but they found out that they didn't know Selena.

These celebrities often attend such banquets, know many big shots, and also know many socialites, but they have never seen Selena's face.

Someone whispered, "Could the dress be fake?"

Wearing counterfeit goods on such a grand occasion would be a subject of ridicule by everyone.

Madison then asked Olivia, "Olivia, do you know her?"

Olivia sneered in her heart, "I don't know her."

For the past month, Olivia had been constantly on edge, fearing that Raymond would replace out about Selena's identity. Every time she tried to invite him out for a meal, he refused, making her even more anxious. Luckily, Raymond still didn't know up to that point.

Olivia lost a full ten pounds, and now, when she saw Selena, she felt like a fire had been lit inside her.

The Stone family previously spent over 200 million dollars to buy that piece of land, but this month, the government's plan was announced.

The commercial aspect of that land, as well as the school, was canceled.

The Stone family's business was real estate. They originally intended to use that piece of land to invest in building houses, constructing buildings, and selling them.

However, at that time, the area had no commercial establishments, no schools, and even the plans for the subway had changed. Anyone buying a house was no fool; how could they possibly purchase a property in that location? So, the land bought for over 200 million dollars was all sitting idle in their hands. The Stone family was currently in a mess, with no one knowing what to do.

If they sold it, they would surely be taken advantage of, and it was unlikely they would even get 110 million dollars for it.

But if they didn't sell and the Stone family stubbornly proceeded with building houses, they would be looking at a loss of at least over 200 million dollars.

Olivia thought of the day she raised the price against Selena at the bidding site and felt a pain in her chest.

That bitch must have done it on purpose.

Now, a group of people were discussing Selena's dress, and Madison even covered her mouth exaggeratedly. "Could it really be a fake?"

Madison even rudely pointed at Selena.

"Stand up and let us see your dress. I bet it's a fake."

Selena furrowed her brows. Seeing more and more people approaching, she slowly stood up.

Several women, upon seeing her figure, were consumed with jealousy.

Especially Olivia, she wished she could just kill Selena with her eyes.

She thought, 'Why is she so beautiful? God is truly unfair.'

Her chest was heaving violently, but she had to hold it in. She would let that fool Madison charge into the fray later.

If a scene were to be caused at this location, she probably wouldn't be able to survive in all of New York.

Selena was about to leave directly, and Madison's face immediately darkened.

"Stop right there, what do you mean? You don't know us?!"

Among this group of people were socialites and A-list actresses, with Madison's status slightly lower. However, she had been dating the young bank master, Joseph. If they get married in the future, Madison would also be considered marrying into a wealthy family.

Madison took a few quick steps and stood directly in front of Selena.

But Selena's outfit was too eye-catching, stealing her spotlight instantly. Standing side by side, the other person seemed inferior.

Madison seemed to realize this, feeling embarrassed and angry.

She shouted, "You're wearing knockoffs to a place like this. I don't even know if you snuck in. Are you here to seduce wealthy individuals?"

Selena chuckled lightly, her gaze falling upon Madison's ethereal blue dress for the evening, adorned with a painting in the middle. The more she looked, the more familiar it seemed, prompting her to ask, "What brand is your dress?" Madison and those around her burst into laughter instantly, as it was not from a lesser-known brand.

Though not a top international label, it was still quite well-known domestically, surprising that this woman was unaware.

Madison teased, "Where are you from, you ignorant fool? How could you not even know this brand? It seems like your dress is truly fake. Security, come over and throw this person out!"
