Chapter 399 Where Could She have Gotten These Things?
Olivia had always known how he felt about his wife, a flicker of disdain in her eyes.
That woman didn't even deserve a name.
She faked some concern.
"But if she gets divorced, it might be tough for her to remarry. After all, she got booted out by the Montague family."
Raymond looked annoyed as he got into the car waiting outside.
"What’s that got to do with me?"
Olivia slid into the car after him, trying to look generous.
"Are you gonna give her any property?"
Raymond sneered. Wasn't the Fair family already milking enough from the Montague Group?
Plus, with the Ashbourne Manor villa, Selena should be grateful William liked her; otherwise, how could she have gotten these?
Mentioning Selena made his face darken. William had been on his case. In just two days abroad, William had called three times, all asking why he didn't take Selena. Even before boarding the plane back, William was still asking if he had quarreled with her.
Raymond hated people prying into his private life. If he hadn't heard William's cough, he would've hung up. Anyone would get rebellious if pushed too hard.
He was just about to tell John to drive to the hotel when William's call came again.
"Raymond, tomorrow is Selena's birthday. Remember to get her a gift."
Raymond's face immediately darkened, and he took a deep breath.
"Grandpa, I know."
William was pleased with his obedience. His health had been bad lately, and he hadn't even left the house. Otherwise, he would've visited Ashbourne Manor.
"Selena had a rough childhood. You should put some thought into this gift."
"Okay."
After hanging up, Raymond told John, "Prepare a birthday gift and send it to the Fair family's villa tomorrow."
John thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "Should we find out what Miss Fair likes?"
Raymond's brows furrowed with irritation. "No need, just make it expensive."
Olivia, hearing this from the side, was a bit annoyed, as if it was her money being spent.
She couldn't help but speak up, "No need to trouble John. I'm going shopping later, so I'll pick something for you. Girls know better what other girls like, and it will save you from getting scolded by Grandpa."
Raymond was so indifferent towards Selena that he just nodded.
Olivia was almost gloating. After parting with Raymond, she had someone print out a divorce agreement.
She also prepared a birthday gift box and placed the divorce agreement inside.
She handed it to a courier, instructing them to deliver it to the Fair family tomorrow evening.
Meanwhile, Selena had almost forgotten her birthday was coming up if it weren't for a message from Shelley.
James used to celebrate her birthday with her. But ever since he married Beatrice, he often forgot.
So James just sent a text: [Selena, my dad wants me to go abroad with him tomorrow, probably to meet his friend's son. I can't celebrate your birthday with you tomorrow, so I'll pick you up tonight to go to Sky Club. Start getting ready, I'm on my way.]
When Selena saw the message, she didn't have the energy to put on makeup.
She felt like Raymond had drained all her energy.
But she didn't want to disappoint Shelley.
Shelley was the only one who had always celebrated her birthday with her over the years, always preparing gifts meticulously and surprising her on the day.
She forced herself to get up and put on makeup.
Although it had been two days, the marks on her neck were still visible, and she had to use concealer repeatedly.
Shelley sent another message: [Remember to wear that white camisole I bought you!]
Selena found it amusing and put on the outfit without hesitation, even taking a photo to send back: [At your command, Princess.]
This was a joke she liked to make with Shelley back in school.
The Harper family had such a vast estate, and Shelley was their only daughter, calling her a princess was not an exaggeration.
When she got into Shelley's car, she saw a message from Raymond: [Feeling better?]
Selena was so startled that her face turned pale, pretending she hadn't seen it.
At least let her rest for a week.
Shelley, driving her sports car, had put on stunning makeup.
The sports car stopped at Sky Club, and she tossed the keys to the valet with flair.
Selena followed behind her, unable to help but advise.
"Let's agree, no getting drunk tonight."
Shelley was about to speak when she turned and saw Raymond and Olivia not far behind.
Her eyes widened.
"Isn't that your decorative husband and the two-faced mistress who wants to replace you?"
When Selena saw Raymond, she instinctively grabbed Shelley's hand and quickly walked inside.
