Singed Once Always Wary

Chapter 45

Selena didn’t care about Joseph’s ridicule. She looked up at him and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Mr. Anderson, I’ve made it clear that I’m already married. You don’t need to target me just because I rejected your pursuit,” she said in a clear and cool voice, which was accompanied by some mocking laughter from the surrounding people.

Joseph’s face turned purple in an instant, and his fists clenched.

“You said I pursued you?” he sneered.

Selena raised an eyebrow and looked helpless.

The silence was better than words sometimes, and there was no need to respond anymore. It was true that Joseph had brought her here in the first place and only changed his attitude after hearing that she was married

Rejected and then humiliated?

Although Selena was indeed too stingy, targeting a woman everywhere just because she refused him was really lacking in class.

Joseph lost all face, and even his fingers were trembling. He underestimated this woman and didn’t expect her to know how to use others.

In this circle where people liked to watch others‘ jokes, Joseph could clearly feel that the gazes cast upon him became more meaningful.

Sofia sneered in silence and was very disdainful.

“What kind of woman does Mr. Anderson not have? How could he be interested in a flirtatious woman like you?! You’re really self–important!”

What did she mean by saying that she rejected Joseph? Did she think she was good enough for him?

Selena looked at Sofia, looking puzzled. “Who is this lady?”

Sofia’s face stiffened

She didn’t believe Selena really didn’t recognize her!

With Joseph present, Selena found the perfect timing to act innocent. From the beginning, Sofia had been very hostile towards her, saying things that targeted her, but Selena hadn’t responded to any of them.

But Sofia kept speaking out of line, and someone who didn’t know the situation might think they had some kind of past grudge.

So she really didn’t know her?

The onlookers turned their gaze to Sofia. Since Selena didn’t recognize her, why was she so outraged?

Sofia sensed that something was wrong. Everyone present was a person with status and influence, and they all wanted to do business with the Montague family. Raymond had just returned to the country, and there would certainly be new business opportunities in the future.

She didn’t want to attract attention and defame the Montague family.

In the eyes of these top–tier men, women were nothing more than their objects of attachment, and many of them brought female companions with them tonight, all of whom obediently played the role of a decorative flower and none of whom dared to bet unlimited chips like Selena did.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Selena’s mentality wasn’t affected at all.

Her card skills were another matter, but what was this woman, who had been constantly making noise from the beginning?

The casino hated such behavior.

Sofia was stuck and pointed her finger at Selena without hesitation.

1. a. “Don’t you know me?! We met at the Montague family last time. Aren’t you Montagues designer?!”

1.2

As soon as she finished speaking, Raymond’s brow furrowed lightly.

Sofia’s words not only failed to expose Selena’s lie in public, but also blatantly told everyone that she was the designer who designed Raymond’s house, thus providing a reasonable explanation for her asking Raymond for money in the first place.

It turned out t

that she wasn’t trying to seduce him, but had known him for a long time. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

This Sofia really had no brains. Didn’t she just help her cause?

Selena found it amusing, and her lips curved slightly. “Oh, it’s Miss Stone.”
