Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 188 Misunderstood

Lucas no longer discussed the matter and became more interested in the job Philip mentioned.

Four thousand? Just need to show up occasionally?

He swallowed his saliva. Actually, he also considered replaceing a wealthy lady from a wealthy family, but his looks couldn't compare to Philip's. Those rich ladies wouldn't even look at him. "Philip, is there really such a good thing as this?"

Philip sat down on the steps, stretched out his long legs, and leaned back, his posture relaxed.

His appearance was truly extraordinary. Even Lucas, a man, couldn't help but envy him, and it's no wonder he could win over the princess of the diamond company.

And there's only Shelley in the Jiang family, the true only daughter. If Philip really marries in, then the Jiang family would be his in for the future, right?

"It's true, you know how easy Shelley is to deceive." Philip squinted his narrow eyes as he spoke.

"But her friend doesn't look gullible. It's better for you to honestly take this four thousand dollars, so you don't drag me down."

Lucas also needed the money. After much thought, he went into the house and changed his clothes.

Meanwhile, Shelley and Selena sat in the cafe waiting for them to arrive.

In less than an hour, Philip brought Lucas over.

Selena saw Lucas's appearance, unremarkable and plain, and not from the same circle. This was good.

The plan was quickly determined, and Selena wasn't stingy. She immediately transferred four thousand dollars into Lucas's account. She also mentioned where she currently lived.

When Lucas heard the words "Rose Garden," he was already excited. That's where his company boss lived, rumored to be worth millions. It seems that friends of the rich second generation are also wealthy women. Lucas felt tempted, but he remembered Philip's instructions and didn't dare to act recklessly.

"Miss Fair, rest assured, I will definitely play the role of your husband well. Just message me, and I will come immediately."

"Don't call me Miss Fair, just call me Selena."

Selena asked about Lucas's company and was surprised to hear that he worked for Cornerstone Construction, which happened to be the company she was currently collaborating with.

However, Lucas was just a small employee there, and Selena had only interacted with high-level executives.

After finalizing the matter, Selena breathed a sigh of relief.

After parting ways with the group, she hesitated about whether to return to Rose Garden tonight.

The Rose Garden or back to Ashbourne Manor?

Over at the Rose Garden, there is Lillian, the woman who was entangled with Jacob, and while at Ashbourne Manor, there is s Raymond, whose current whereabouts are uncertain. She raised her hand to rub her forehead, feeling exhausted.

After much hesitation, Selena went back to the Rose Garden.

Fortunately, she did not encounter Lillian, but after opening her own door, she found a sticky note on it.

It read: 'You little slut, I already know you live here. If you don't tell me where Jacob is, be prepared for trouble.'

This was the woman involved with Jacob.

The woman looked like she had connections in the underworld, and Selena couldn't help but worry about what dirty tricks she might have up her sleeve.

But for now, Selena couldn't worry about that. Tonight, she still had to double-check all the suppliers' goods. Once she got everything sorted, she had to go to Ridgefield immediately. Little did she know, Grace was already sitting in Raymond's office.

"I heard you have dealings with that designer?" Grace asked gently, but in reality, she was asking if there was any inappropriate relationship between them.

After all, Raymond still had a wife, even if he didn't care for her in name. If the old master found out, the entire Montague family would not be at peace.

Raymond looked at the documents in front of him and didn't even lift his head when he heard the question.

"Who said that?"

"Carter's new girlfriend. He brought Selena to me before, but I didn't expect her to be married."

There was a hint of coldness in her words, reminding Raymond that even if there was a connection, it should be severed to avoid causing a big fuss and making everyone look bad. "Raymond, even if you don't care for your wife at home, she was chosen by your grandfather. You should know the consequences of messing around."

"Aunt, I was just drunk. It was just one night."

Grace noticed the word "drunk" and realized that Raymond, despite his young age, became the president of the Montague family. It was impossible for him to get so drunk as to engage in inappropriate behavior with someone else. Unless there was something in his drink.

She sneered, realizing that she had underestimated that woman.

Grace obtained the name of Selena's studio and as soon as she left the Montague family, she would call her own people to intercept the cooperation on Selena's side.

With the work order obtained through such means, and the passionate encounters with Carter, Selena's methods were impressive, but it would end here.
