GoodNovelChapter 465 You Can Have This 'Good Fortune' if You Want It After Raymond entered, the room fell silent in an instant. Alex, with a grin on his face, handed him a glass of wine.
"You're late. You missed the best part of the show. Raymond, your wife is quite interesting," he said.
Raymond had just finished dealing with a heap of issues from the Montague family. Now, Madam Montague was hospitalized out of anger, and the Stone family was also constantly complaining, all because of Selena stirring up trouble! Alex patted Raymond's shoulder. "Although she's not the most attractive, she's articulate and clever. Marrying her is your good fortune." Raymond had been having a tough day. He lowered his eyes and responded icily, "You can have this 'good fortune' if you want it." Alex immediately fell silent. After all, he preferred beautiful women.

Alex tried to console him, "Forget about her. What are you planning to do about Olivia? After tonight, many people will gossip about her. If you really like her, you should get a divorce and make her officially your partner." Raymond looked at the glass in his hand, his tone suddenly becoming light. "My grandfather wantsto marry Selena; my grandmother wantsto marry Olivia. Why can't I marry someone I truly want to?" He spoke so softly that only Alex and Paul heard him. They exchanged a glance, at a loss for words.
Was there true love in high society? Those who think there was must have not truly entered this circle yet. Even ordinary people sized each other up when they got married - cars, houses, etc. So, what about those in high society? Most would compromise with their families, choosing a wife that their family was satisfied with, and then kept a few they liked somewhere just for fun.
Then they played the role of a loving couple in public, which was also beneficial to the company's stock price. Raymond was a standout among the younger generation; he left many of his peers far behind, but even he was still forced into a marriage by Mr. Montague Sr., which made him run away abroad for three years. "Raymond, who do you want to marry?" Alex asked, genuinely puzzled. It couldn't possibly be Selena, could it? Raymond didn't answer and continued to just quietly look at his glass.
After a long time, he said, "I used to think I wanted to marry Olivia, but now I don't know." But at least he was clear it wasn't Olivia he wanted to marry.
Paul, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly burst out, "As long as you don't want to marry Selena, at least you haven't lost your mind." Raymond's brow furrowed, "She's not even divorced yet. Even if I wanted to step up, I'd have to wait." Paul pulled at his lip, deciding to stay silent. Alex, on the other hand, chuckled.
"You're just saying that. With your status, if you really wanted to marry a divorcee, how many women in New York would be heartbroken? You're just not tired of her yet." Alex was right. If he really got tired of her, he would just compensate her.
Raymond was about to reach for his glass when his phone rang again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was Mr. Montague Sr. calling again. Presumably, Mr. Montague Sr. had heard about Madam Montague's hospitalization.
Raymond stood up, gave a brief nod to the two men, and walked out, but he didn't answer Mr. Montague Sr.'s call, guessing it was another request for him to accompany Selena. He didn't want to see that woman at all right now. The next morning.
Selena woke up early, fed Max, and then went to the Fair family company building. Even though several m high-ranking executives had been fired, the situation within the company was still a mess, since the quality of the top management had taken a nosedive. Moreover, she didn't have any confidants right now. Those high-ranking executives probably still had many informants at the top. Everyone was on edge, not wanting to be the next one to be fired.
Selena had to promote someone from these employees to be her assistant so that even if she didn't cto the company, someone would report every detail to her.
She sifted through resumes one by one, finally stopping at a woman's resume. Even though the Fair family's company couldn't compare to other famous companies, it was still a company that had gone through two rounds of financing and had gone public. Those who submitted resumes would naturally have at least a bachelor's degree. Those who didn't meet this standard were eliminated at the interview stage.
The selection process for large companies was even more stringent. For a company like the Montague Corporation, any department would be filled with top graduates from Ivy League schools.
