Singed Once Always Wary

Chapter 108 Are you following me?

Alice became even more nervous.

A long time ago, she had seen Raymond once. He was standing in the crowd, his slender eyebrows slightly narrowed, a high and straight nose, talking to someone next to him. He was wearing a well–cut suit that accentuated his figure, exuding a touch of enchantment and an unattainable

aura.

Now, she finally stood in front of him for the first time, her whole body trembling nervously. She had been secretly in love with him for many years, longer than three years.

She learned his name, Raymond, from the financial newspaper. Later, he coincidentally became her brother–in–law, but it didn’t matter. He and Selena would eventually get divorced.

Raymond looked at her and quickly looked away.

“Why are you looking for me?” he asked.

Alice’s cheeks turned red as if they could drip blood, her hands anxiously clasped in front of her.

“I heard Mr. Montague was here, I just…”

Raymond’s face turned cold, “Are you following me?”

Her obvious admiration in her eyes was hard to ignore. Raymond furrowed his eyebrows, impatiently taking a step forward.

“I have already sent someone to pass on a message to your father, you don’t need to do anything

extra.”

Clearly, he mistook Alice for Selena. Alice stood in place, her face slightly pale, but then a trace of ecstasy appeared on her face.

It seemed like he didn’t like Selena at all. If he did, he wouldn’t have acted this way towards the Fair family. So even if he slept with Selena, he didn’t care about hér.

Alice lowered her eyes, her breathing becoming uneven, her heart aching with jealousy. The person she had secretly been in love with for so many years had intimate contact with Selena.

It didn’t matter now as she still had a chance. Raymond had already sat in the car, Alex also getting in, shaking his head slowly.

“Could that be the person from the Fair family?” he asked.

It was natural for them to think in that direction; Alice’s appearance was too coincidental, and her words were not clear. Raymond’s eyebrows twisted, thinking about what his grandfather had said. about being generous and dignified, and with a cold sneer.

He didn’t know what kind of spell that woman had cast on his grandfather. A person with no merits whatsoever could be praised so highly.

Alex raised an eyebrow, speaking honestly.

“She’s still far from being like Olivia, no wonder you don’t want anything to do with her.”

That woman’s ambition in her eyes was too big, as if she wanted to devour Raymond, despite being ignored for three years, she still held onto such passion. Was it because of true love, or because she saw Raymond’s family background?

It was both, but her liking was not pure, and her methods were not very clever. Raymond’s eyes grew colder, not wanting to have any ties with the Fair family.

At the Hospital.

When Selena arrived, James had not yet come out of the emergency room.

Doctors kept coming and going in the hallway, never stopping for a moment.

Beatrice was alone Nick is not here, and Alice is not here either. Selena sat quietly in the corridor, only hearing the ticking sound of the clock on the wall. She didn’t know how long had passed, so long that her legs were stiff, until someone patted her.

“You are a patient’s family member, right?” Selena regained her senses and saw that the sun was already high outside, and her stomach growled with hunger. She quickly stood up and said, “Yes, I am.” After entering the ward, she saw James awake.

Selena immediately felt guilty for falling asleep in the corridor. “Dad,” she called out and quickly sat down by the bedside. James still had an IV on the back of his hand and looked tired.

Where is Beatrice?”

Selena shook her head, she didn’t know where those three went. James coughed twice, and coincidentally, his secretary arrived, bringing company documents.

*Mr. Sheng, here are the materials you asked for. James’s secretary, Kenny, who is in his forties and has been with him from the beginning and

Selena saw that James was already in this state but still busy with work, and couldn’t help but advise, “Dad, when you’re feeling better…” Before she could finish her sentence, James interrupted.

“If you had more self–control, I wouldn’t have to work so hard. Raymond’s assistant came to tell me, asking my daughter to watch her words and actions.”

He paused for a moment, inevitably sounding a bit probing. “Selena, did you have a close relationship with a male colleague before, which led Raymond to misunderstand?”
