Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 317 I’m not that Vulgar Person

Selena was somewhat surprised. Since it was a business deal, she must have taken the initiative; it was unthinkable for Raymond to lower himself and come looking for her.

"So, your cousin didn't refuse at that time?" Mia was genuinely curious, although it wasn't proper to pry into someone's privacy like this. But he was her cousin, the most outstanding person in the Montague family, in her opinion. "He refused several times, but ultimately agreed." Selena smiled, not understanding why Mia suddenly asked this.

Mia's face immediately turned slightly red; she really didn't expect Selena to put in so much effort to sleep with her cousin. Olivia would probably be furious if she found out. However, she wouldn't bring this up and talk about it recklessly. Silence prevailed for the rest of the journey.

When they reached the closest road to the studio, Selena was about to get off the car. Just as the door was about to close, she thanked Mia and intended to leave, but at this moment, Mia spoke up. "Selena, let's still be friends in the future, alright?"

Selena was taken aback. She really liked Mia's personality, but if this person were to replace out that she was the detested sister-in-law, she didn't know what they would think.

"As long as you're willing, we'll always be friends." She could only reply this way, perhaps Mia would no longer want to be friends with her in the future.

Mia breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, I am not that vulgar person. I won't look down on you." As soon as she finished speaking, the car door closed, and the car slowly drove away.

Selena stood in place, somewhat puzzled about the meaning of the last sentence. But she didn't dwell on it and headed directly towards the location of the studio. However, during her walk, she felt something strange in a certain part of her body. Her first time was on the night when Raymond returned to the country, and she got hurt in the process.

Apart from that, she hadn't had any experiences in that regard. But now, after walking for a while, she felt something was off. Her waist was hurting, and her legs were sore. Because she hadn't had such an experience before, she was unsure if the discomfort was from falling off the bed or if she had actually done something last night.

She couldn't figure it out for a while, so she went to the studio first.

Matthew was there today, and when he saw her, he raised his eyebrows lightly. "What good deed have you done recently? Cornerstone Construction suddenly became generous to our studio, giving us materials at the lowest price." Selena last talked with Corn.

Cornerstone Construction proposed some conditions, but they were all related to material prices in Manhattan. I didn't expect the people from Cornerstone Construction to be so considerate. They even helped out the studio. She explained the construction mistakes and then sat down on the side.

"Once Raymond's project is finished, I probably won't stay at the studio anymore." She had planned this from the beginning and still hoped to go back to painting.

"Oh, by the way, did your family's matter get resolved?"

Business at the studio has been so good recently, it should have been resolved a long time ago, right?

There was a softness in Matthew's eyes as he raised his hand to rub his brow. "It's just been resolved. I won't take your share of the Manhattan project. Whatever Raymond gives, you will receive."

Selena didn't hold back with him either. After all, the studio had made it through, and Matthew surely wouldn't be short on money from now on.

"I won't write the resignation letter for now. I'm still unsure about whether I should take on Carter's project. If Mr. Ashford insists, then I'll take his project after finishing the Manhattan design. After that, I'll have to open my own art studio. You know, I've always loved painting."

Matthew definitely wouldn't stop her and nodded. "Once Raymond's project is done, just send me a message on your phone. I won't take your share for Carter's project either. It's all your own ability that brought it in."

"I won't be polite with you anymore. But I have some conflicts with Mr. Ashford's girlfriend. If she wants to replace me later on, I'll transfer the project to someone else in the studio."

This includes the current Manhattan project as well. Raymond was inexplicably angry today, so she didn't know if she would receive a termination of the partnership message later.

That's why she decided to go to the studio to see which designers were available. She couldn't really entrust it to people Olivia knew.

After all, the design fee was several million dollars. If someone from the studio could secure it, it would be a favor to Matthew.

After explaining everything to Matthew, she returned to Rose Garden.

She felt exhausted and uncomfortable.

Perhaps it was because of the hangover, her stomach was also hurting.

She took a stomach medicine and then took a bath. But when she lowered her head, she noticed a discreet mark on the inner side of her thigh.

It was red and looked a bit like a hickey.

Her hand paused, and her brow furrowed.
