Fiona beceven more cautious, sensing that Mr. Montague was angry. Their relationship was likely to beceven more distant now.
She sighed. Miss Fair's complexion didn't look good before she went upstairs. She probably really didn't hear the knocking at the door.
Fiona intended to say a few more words to salvage Selena's image, but before she could speak, Raymond interrupted her.
"I don't want to hear about her affairs." His pupils were filled with calm and restraint, and his tone was almost cold, completely shutting Fiona up. Throughout the meal, Fiona tried her best to diminish her presence. Even the other servants walked cautiously. Raymond ate very elegantly, not consuming much. Once finished, he silently went upstairs to his bedroom. Fiona instructed the servants to collect the dishes and left a portion for Selena.
At this moment, Selena had arrived at the site of Cornerstone Construction, which was her current partner. She had taken a nap before coming, and with the help of concealer, there were no marks on her cheeks. Otherwise, it would be impolite to meet the business partner in such a state.
The person in charge of Cornerstone Construction was much more reliable than Mr. Wright. After sdiscussion, they agreed to have dinner together. Since it was a social occasion, it was inevitable to drink. Selena only had two drinks this tand, in just three hours, finalized the next steps.
She handed over the construction drawings and selected most of the materials for the basic installation.

Tonight, Ashbourne Manor was unusually quiet.
As soon as she entered, Selena sensed a heavy atmosphere. It was strange. Selena rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit dizzy..
Meanwhile, Fiona waited in the living room and was surprised to see Selena return from outside.
"Miss Fair, weren't you sleeping in the bedroom?" "I accepted a last minute meeting and went on a work call." Fiona instantly regretted not checking Selena's room, causing Mr. Montague to have a bad impression of Miss Fair for no reason. "Have you had dinner?" "I had a business dinner and had a bit of alcohol. My stomach feels uneasy. I should take a stomach pill go to bed. Fiona, you should rest too." Fiona usually doesn't stay up late, but tonight Selena changed that. She thought Selena would be resting in the room and planned to serve her dinner when she woke up, but she didn't expect Selena to cback from outside. "Miss Fair, why don't you have a bowl of hot soup? After finishing it, just leave the bowl in the sink. I'll serve the soup, and I also placed a stomach pill for you on the dining table, along with a glass of warm water." "Okay." After completing these tasks, Fiona yawned and went to sleep.
Selena sat at the dining table, feeling like she might have forgotten something, but couldn't remember it at the moment.
Suddenly, there was a sound of thunder and lightning outside the window. It definitely seemed like it was going to rain tonight.
