Selena was somewhat surprised. Master is indeed abroad now, attending research conferences, and hasn''te back to New York temporarily.
Master didn''t mention this to her. She didn''t expect Olivia herself to be studying art as well.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.
She also remembered Carter saying that Raymond had artistic aplishments, so it''s not surprising that Olivia is into art.
Otherwise, how could they have hadmon topics in the first ce?
"Selena, it would be great if cousin really gets divorced. I hope you be my sister-inw."
Selena was originally observing one of the huge king crabs. Upon hearing this, she quickly denied it.
"You shouldn''t say that kind of thing lightly."
Mia stuck out her tongue. "It''s just you and me here. It''s my true thoughts. But cousin likes Olivia, so there''s a high probability that he''ll marry her after the divorce."
"I wonder when cousin and Olivia will get married. Will youe then?"
"It would be nice. If they have mutual affection, they shoulde. Let''s see if Mr. Montague will invite me."
As soon as Mia finished speaking, she shouted behind Selena.
"Cousin, why aren''t you and Olivia going in?"
Selena stiffened and turned around, and indeed saw Raymond and Olivia standing behind her.
Olivia had a proud expression, and her gaze towards Selena wasn''t as sharp as before. It seems she heard what Selena just said.
Since she heard it, Raymond should have heard it too.
Selena didn''t know if it was just her imagination, but she felt a heavy gaze upon herself.
But Raymond just nced at her lightly and then withdrew his gaze, walking silently towards the inside.
Olivia ran after him, sweetly and intimately talking to him.
"Raymond, we''ll still invite Selena in the end. After all, she''s the designer you value."
Raymond paused in his steps.
"We will invite her."
Olivia thought he had agreed to marry her, and her smile grew broader: "Alright, you have the final say."
Selena stood still, and it wasn''t until everyone had walked away that she felt the weight on her head disappear.
Mia looked at her curiously.
"Why do you seem so ufortable in front of your cousin? Has he ever bullied you?"
Bullied? As soon as those words came up, Selena immediately recalled the scene where she was forcefully pinned against the entrance cab, an explosive hormonal surge that still sent shivers down her spine just thinking about it. She quickly averted her gaze and pretended to continue looking at the fish tank in front of her.
"No, after all, he is my employer, and I still have to work with him in the future."
Mia didn''t think too much of it and joined her in looking at the seafood in therge fish tank.
"Speaking of which, when you were renovating the Manhattan house, did Olivia meddle in it? It''s their wedding house, so she must have been really proud. After all, she''s the only girlfriend your cousin publicly acknowledged." Selena didn''t like talking behind people''s backs, and even if Olivia wasn''t good, as long as Raymond liked her, it was fine.
"Since it''s her wedding house, she definitely has the right to make changes."
Mia couldn''t help but nce at her and chuckled softly. "Selena, you have such a good temper."
The interior of the estate was quiterge. It wasn''t an extravagant upper-ss social gathering, just a gathering of young people in their circle, so there was no need for excessive dress-up.
On the contrary, everyone appeared very casual, sitting together in groups of three or two, discussing the recent happenings in New York.
Men sat together, talking business and data, while women sat together, chatting about luxury goods.
"Did you see the news about Raymond? Is she really like that?"
"It''s been spreading everywhere. She married Raymond and still cheated on him."
"Do you think Raymond has had any physical contact with her? Probably just a one-night stand."
Sofia sat next to this group of socialites and debutantes. The Stone family wasn''t a prominent dynasty, so she couldn''t participate in the conversation. It was already lucky enough for her to attend. At this moment, her gaze turned towards the entrance and she saw Raymond and Oliviaing in, so she quickly stood up.
"Cousin, you finally made it."
Everyone''s attention was drawn by this voice, and they all looked towards the entrance.
Olivia felt like she was under the scrutiny of the masses, especially since everyone present were the crème de crème of New York''s second-generation wealthy.
In gatherings like this within these circles, the men usually brought femalepanions.
Olivia''s lips curved up; she was the one apanying Raymond, not that forgotten wife.
