Selena coughed hard, a hint of vulnerability in her eyes.


    "It''s either Olivia or Madison, you can guess. I offended these twost night," she said.


    Caterlington didn''t offer her water, probably because she was afraid of it now.


    Frowning, Caterlington saw Selena take her phone from the side and y a recording sent by Olivia, which happened to be the conversation between her and Raymondst night.


    She didn''t lower the volume on her phone so Caterlington beside her could hear everything clearly, leaving him fuming and bbergasted.


    "Damn it! Raymond is such a jerk!"


    "Selena, divorce him quickly and stop enduring this from Raymond!"


    Selena remained silent, feeling difort in her throat.


    Caterlington snatched her phone. "Stop listening. Let these two despicable people just rot together!"


    Selena lowered her eyshes, hands resting outside the nket, looking puzzled.


    "I''ve been wondering why Raymond dislikes me so much."


    Even though she took over his wife''s role, Selena never once approached him, and even proposed a three-month deadline for divorce. Now, with only two months left, why did he really want her dead? If she had diedst night, he probably wouldn''t have regretted it at all, and might have taken the opportunity to divorce her.


    "Selena, this is how men are. Some men won''t appreciate what they have until they lose it. They often end upmenting after squandering the best. I know men''s nature too well." Caterlington remarked. Selena stopped talking, and Caterlington continued with many provocative remarks.


    Seeing Selena''s expression turning colder, Caterlington left contentedly.


    The doctor instructed Selena to stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation.


    So she stayed alone in the hospital for two more days, coinciding with the end of the cruise banquet.


    Mr. Cassius Montague called to ask how she was feeling.


    Selena felt bitter, her lips twitching.


    "Cassius, please don''t force me and Raymond together anymore."


    Mr. Cassius Montague fell silent instantly, then sighed, "Okay, I understand. I won''t try anymore."


    After hanging up, Selena felt utterly exhausted.


    She rested at home for a full half month before fully recovering from the drowning sensation.


    Then she heard about the Stone family selling that piece ofnd for 110 million dors, leaving them in financial trouble and seeking financing.


    Due to Raymond''s behavior on the cruise, Olivia''s identity as his ex-girlfriend no longer held weight unless she could prove that Raymond still cared about her.


    Just as Selena was about to open the file in front of her, her phone rang-it was a message from Raymond.


    Every other day, he would almost always send her a message, asking what she was up to.


    Selena never replied, and now there were ten messages piled up.


    She directly took a screenshot of Raymond''s message and posted it on her social media.


    The caption read: [Married, please stop bothering me.]


    She didn''t blur Raymond''s name so anyone who knew him would recognize it.


    Carter was the first toment, with a string of question marks.


    Carter: [It shouldn''t be my cousin, right? I''ve never seen my cousin like this. It''s just a simr profile picture, right?]


    The secondment was from Mia, confirming that it was Raymond.


    Mia: [What is Raymond doing?]


    Since Selena posted from her work ount, many big shots she had worked with saw the post.


    Everyone was specting whether the personbeled as Mr. Montague was Raymond.


    Within the New York circle, things were heating up.


    "Isn''t that Raymond?"


    "But didn''t Raymond leave with someone at Henry''s partyst time?"


    "Half a month ago, on the cruise, Raymond stood up for her."


    "Come to think of it, doesn''t Alex oftenin that Raymond doesn''t reply to messages?"
