Chapter 45
Selena brushed off the sarcasm and looked up at him, unable to hold back a laugh. "Mr. Anderson, I've made it clear I'm married. No need to hound me everywhere just because I turned you down, right?"
The implication was clear: Joseph was being petty.
Her cool, clear voice carried, followed by a ripple of mocking laughter.
Joseph's face turned red with anger, his fists clenching. "Did you just say I was chasing after you?"
Selena raised an eyebrow, looking helpless.
At this point, Selena didn't need to say more; it was better to let the crowd draw their own conclusions.
After all, it was Joseph who brought Selena here, and only after learning she was married did his attitude shift.
He couldn't have her, so he decided to smear her?
Sure, Selena could be stingy, but Joseph targeting her just because she rejected him was a low blow.
Joseph was utterly humiliated, his fingertips trembling. He had underestimated Selena, who knew how to play the crowd.
In this circle, people loved to mock. Joseph could feel the meaningful looks directed his way.
In the silence, Sofia sneered. "Mr. Anderson can have any beautiful woman he wants. Why would he be interested in a slut like you? Really, you're dreaming!"
Selena claimed she had rejected Joseph to elevate herself; but what qualifications did she have?
Selena looked at Sofia, puzzled. "Who are you?"
Sofia's face stiffened. She couldn't believe Selena didn't recognize her; she must be pretending! Such a good act of innocence!
Humiliating Joseph first, Selena's timing of playing innocent was perfect. From the start, Sofia had been hostile, every word targeting her, yet Selena never responded.
But Sofia kept being rude, making those unaware think she had a grudge against Selena.
So they didn't even know each other.
The onlookers turned their gaze to Sofia. If they didn't know each other, why was Sofia so indignant?
Sofia sensed something was off. Everyone here was someone of status, all looking to work with the Montague Group. Raymond had just returned to the country and would surely start new ventures.
Sofia didn't want to draw attention and tarnish the Montague Group's reputation.
In the eyes of these top-tier men, women were just accessories. Many had brought female companions tonight, all standing quietly by their sides, unlike Selena, who dared to gamble at the table.
Under everyone's gaze, Selena stayed composed.
Regardless of Selena's poor gambling skills, what right did Sofia have to mock her?
Such behavior was taboo in a casino.
Sofia was in a bind, pointing at Selena. "You don't know me? We met at the Montague Group last time. Aren't you the designer Mr. Montague hired?"
As soon as Sofia finished, Raymond frowned slightly.
Sofia's words didn't expose Selena's lie as she hoped but instead informed everyone that Selena was the designer Raymond hired for his house.
So Selena borrowing money from Raymond made sense.
It wasn't about seducing Raymond; they had known each other for a while.
This Sofia was truly foolish. Didn't she just help Selena?
Selena found it amusing, showing a faint smile. "Oh, Ms. Stone."
