Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 311 Deliberate Concealment

Olivia's face turned pale. Why did Selena have to appear at this moment?

Selena's gaze fell on her with surprise.

"Is it Miss Stone? Has Miss Stone seen what this woman looks like? Why do you think it's me? If I didn't show up today, would everyone here think I'm a shameless woman once we leave?" Indeed, that's exactly how it would be.

If Selena didn't show up now, everyone in this circle would know that Raymond's designer had a fling with a bodyguard. After all, gossip spreads quickly.

Olivia broke out in a cold sweat under such questioning. If she didn't answer well, her reputation would be implicated.

She quickly spoke up.

"Selena, you only showed up briefly last night and left. I thought..."

"You thought it was me and didn't even bother verifying. It seems there's no grudge between Miss Stone and me. If it's because I became Mr. Montague's designer, you could have openly told Mr. Montague to terminate our cooperation, instead of using such means to malign me behind my back."

Olivia's eyes instantly turned red as she lowered her head slightly.

"I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional. It's just that I heard the bodyguard call your name," she deflected blame without hesitation, shifting it all onto the bodyguard.

The bodyguard stiffened; he didn't even know who Selena was.

Selena glanced at him and spoke.

"I don't seem to have met you."

The bodyguard panicked, his throat feeling dry. Everyone present held distinguished status, and he couldn't afford to offend anyone.

Thinking quickly, he hurriedly defended himself.

"I'm sorry, because this woman is also named Selena, I called her that. Sorry, I need to take her away."

Sofia had been quietly holding onto the bodyguard's hand, trembling nervously.

She had thought she could bluff her way through, but now that Selena had actually appeared, if she continued to stay here, her identity would be exposed with just a slight misstep! What awaited her then would be absolute ruin!

She had been pinching the bodyguard all along, and the bodyguard quickly embraced her, ready to walk forward.

As they passed by Mia, Mia quietly stretched out her leg and tripped the woman who dared not show her face.

The woman fell forward, and her clothes slipped off her head, leaving her in a miserable state lying on the ground. When she stood up, the traces of the love bites and her true face were instantly exposed to everyone present. Someone exclaimed.

"Isn't this Olivia's cousin, Sofia?"

"When did Sofia start calling herself Selena? Did she use this name before?"

Olivia, afraid of being implicated herself, quickly put on a surprised expression. "Sofia? How could you..."

Sofia hated her to the bone.

She bit her lip tightly and struggled to leave in embarrassment. However, her legs weakened at the moment and, combined with the scare she had just experienced, she couldn't stand up. Selena stood by, looking down at Sofia with a condescending smile. "So, it's Miss Stone again."

This sentence carried deep meaning. It was telling everyone that these two women were on the same side, and Olivia was probably intentionally protecting Sofia, trying to preserve her reputation. Olivia was furious beyond words. The only option she had now was to push Sofia out. She raised her hand without hesitation and slapped Sofia across the face. "How could you do such a thing?!" Tears instantly streamed down Sofia's face as she covered it with her hand. "Cousin, I'm sorry... I was forced to. I had no choice last night..."

Olivia looked at the bodyguard, assuming a righteous stance. "Sofia is a Miss of the Stone family. How dare you treat her like this? Do you know you can go to jail for it?"

The bodyguard was taken aback and immediately kneeled down. "Miss Stone, I really have no idea what happened. I just had a drink and suddenly felt unwell."

Olivia took a deep breath and immediately diverted everyone's attention to the drink, instead of focusing on why Sofia pretended to be Selena.

"Don't try to justify yourself. I will immediately involve the family in investigating this matter. Even if someone did tamper with the drink, it still constitutes a crime!" Selena knew exactly what Olivia was planning. She wanted to brush aside the impersonation incident.

With Selena's guidance, the people present began to contemplate where the drink came from, as she had intended.

Selena smiled. "Miss Stone, we can investigate the drink, but I have a question for this bodyguard. Sofia doesn't seem to have the name Selena. How did you make the mistake?" Olivia was seething with hatred. Why wouldn't this woman let go of this matter?
