Chapter 312 Now, she awkwardly referred to him as Mr. Montague
Sofia couldn't even lift her head; this was the most humiliating moment of her life! And it was all because of that bitch, Selena!
If she hadn't tailed Selena last night, Sofia wouldn't have been nabbed by the bodyguard and dragged into this mess.
If Selena hadn't shown up right then, no one would have known she was the one messing around with the bodyguard.
To sum up, it was all Selena's fault.
Sofia shot a hateful glare at Selena, wishing she could rip her apart!
Selena, cool as a cucumber, said, "Miss Sofia Stone, care to explain?"
Sofia tasted blood in her mouth, her eyes burning with rage.
Olivia chimed in, "Penny, Sofia's a victim here. Shouldn't you be a bit more gentle? Maybe the bodyguard just got it wrong."
The bodyguard, catching Olivia's drift, quickly nodded. "Yeah, I messed up. I'm really sorry. It's all my fault."
Selena couldn't push it further, but she was still fuming inside.
The bodyguard took the blame; Sofia was the victim. If Selena kept pressing, she'd look like the bad guy.
As everyone went quiet, another group showed up around the corner.
Leading them was Raymond, probably fresh out of a meeting, flanked by Alex and Paul.
Sofia, still on the floor, thought about death when she saw Raymond.
What could be more embarrassing than having your crush see you like this?
Raymond, seeing the crowd, frowned. "What's going on?"
He was back to his calm, composed self, like he wasn't the one who'd been so ruthless last night.
Olivia strode over. "Last night, a bodyguard drank a wrong drink and assault Sofia. We're trying to figure out who set it up."
Drink? Raymond's eyes landed on Selena. Besides Mia, no one here was on her side.
They stood there alone, looking kinda lonely.
For some reason, his heart ached a little. This strange feeling was new to him.
Mia couldn't look at Raymond after hearing the sounds from last night, her face already red.
Selena took a deep breath. Now that Raymond was here, he was obviously siding with Olivia; otherwise, this would hurt Olivia's reputation along with his.
But it didn't matter. Selena had shown up and explained herself, so at least no rumors would spread about her today.
Just as Selena was about to pull Mia away, she heard Raymond speak. "Penny."
All eyes turned to her.
Selena stiffened, wondering if she was hearing things, but she caught a hint of softness in Raymond's voice.
Puzzled, she looked up at him.
Olivia, standing beside Raymond, clenched her fists in anger when she heard him call out to her in that gentle tone.
Selena felt a bit pleased but sustained it perfectly. "Mr. Montague."
Raymond's eyebrows twitched slightly. Mr. Montague?
Last night, she had called him "honey" in the heat of the moment, but now she was addressing him as Mr. Montague.
His expression darkened, but he kept his cool.
Raymond asked, "You don't look well. What's wrong?"
Selena found it increasingly strange. Raymond ignored Olivia but asked her first.
Though she felt a bit comforted, she was also uneasy.
Selena briefly explained what had just happened. "I think Miss Sofia Stone is trying to frame me. If I hadn't shown up, my reputation would have been ruined today. She owe me an apology."
Everyone else at the scene looked at her.
Sofia was Olivia's cousin, and Olivia was Raymond's beloved. Where did this Penny get the nerve to demand for that?
