Chapter 475 Why Would You Be Ringing My Line, Mr. Montague? He was seated on the couch, single-handedly opening up his laptop.
Recently, there had been sissues with the company overseas which required his personal attention.
He'd likely have to travel abroad within two days, so he needed to work overtto finalize the documents for the Montague family's business.
Olivia found it difficult to speak, especially since she had said just that morning that the people of the Fair family were pushovers, only to cseeking his help in the evening. She felt embarrassed and was even beginning to suspect that this was all a trap set by Selena.
If it was indeed a trap, then she was truly foolish to have walked right into it.
As she smugly sent messages bragging to Selena, she could only imagine Selena laughing at her stupidity internally.
The thought was unbearable to Olivia.
She had been played by someone as plain as Selena! How mortifying! This was even more embarrassing than the humiliation she had suffered that night.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTears fell instantly; now, she wasn't thinking about causing trouble for anyone; she was just anxious to clear her debts.
"Raymond, can you ask Caterlington for a favor on my behalf? As long as you talk to him, he'll surely agree. This matter is really important to me." Her tears evoked pity.
Raymond wondered why she suddenly needed a favor from Caterlington, given their usual lack of interaction. But he didn't think much of it, especially since John cin and mentioned there were ten minutes left before the overseas conference would start. With the upcoming trip abroad for a major meeting, he was very busy.
So, he promptly made a call to Caterlington.
Caterlington was somewhat surprised to receive Raymond's call.
Raymond was actually going to stand up for Olivia? Instinctively, he glanced at Selena sitting across from him.
Selena seemed to guess who was calling. She didn't speak and simply turned her head to look indifferently out the window.
They were still in the restaurant, and there was an upcoming collaboration with Caterlington, which she naturally needed to arrange promptly.
A smirk curved at Caterlington's lips as he pressed the answer button and deliberately switched to speakerphone, placing the phone on the table. "Why would you be ringing my line, Mr. Montague?" His tone was one that clearly relished the chaos.
Raymond raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his wrist.
"You should know, it's about Olivia." Caterlington looked at Selena again.
Selena took a sip of the juice from the glass on the table, her expression even more composed than before. Seizing the opportunity, Caterlington called out.
"Selena, are you going to eat this?" He pushed a plate of dessert towards her.
Raymond had made the call casually, guessing that Caterlington would surely agree. Caterlington was a smart man.
But hearing the nCaterlington called out made him stiffen, and his breath seemingly halted for a moment. He even thought he was hallucinating.
However, indeed, a cool female voice cthrough, "No, it's cloying." It was only three words, yet he detected a hint of coquetry in them.
Anger instantly ignited in his heart.
Soon after, Caterlington responded to him.

But Raymond didn't.
They remained silent for a minute.
Then Caterlington chuckled, "Mr. Montague, anything else?" Click! The call was cut off without hesitation.
initiale Caterlington put his phone away and murmured, "Mr. Montagueñas never taken the initiative to callbefore." The implication was clear: he had really gone out on a limb for Olivia.
Selena couldn't help but find humor in the situation, "Are you remindingnot to flatter myself and not to fantasize about taking Olivia's place, Mr. Walsh?" A complex look flickered across Caterlington's eyes.
"It's good that you understand. If you fancied him, it would inevitably lead to a disastrous end."
Selena's fingertips tightened around the stem of the wine glass thenm relaxed again to calmness. "I won't let wine on myself cto that."
