[‘Carter, you’re right! Selena is really talented, not only in interior design but also in drawing people!‘
Carter had recently made up his mind about dating Lillian, and was being very good to her. They had good comr ration between them.
However, when he saw the photo she sent him, his eyebrows raised and he didn’t hesitate to send the photo to Raymond.

It was already 10 p.m., and Raymond had arrived outside the Fair family’s door.
The people of the Fair family called the patriarch to inform him that he had to come to this dinner, but he had the final say on when he would arrive.
The Fair family’s dining table was filled with delicious food, enticing in both appearance and aroma. The whole house was filled with fragrance.
‘My, the people sitting inside all have such gloomy expressions. It’s dinner time, but Raymond and Selena are both late, and Selena hasn’t even answered her phone until now. James is so angry that he almost faints, and Beatrice is just making matters worse.’
‘I told you before, this daughter of yours doesn’t have the same heart as you. She’s become independent and doesn’t care about your well–being anymore. You’ve just been released from the hospital, and she dares to treat you this way. Clearly, she doesn’t value you.‘
James‘ fingertips begin to tremble, and the doctor had subtly reminded him that he shouldn’t leave the hospital in this state. However, being able to secure a second round of financing had made James incredibly happy, and with all the things happening in the company right now, he didn’t want to hand over full control to someone else at this critical moment.
James is already considering transferring shares to Selena so that even if he’s no longer around one day, Selena won’t have a difficult life.
Plus, he’s unsure about Selena’s relationship with Raymond.
Although it’s said that Raymond is here to support the Fair family, deep down as a father, he still wants to see how his daughter and son–in–law get along. The last time Raymond’s assistant came to remind him, combined with Catherine’s attitude, James just can’t be rest assured.

The Fair family had been waiting since 6 o’clock in the evening, and the dishes on the table have been reheated time and time again, but no one dared to touch them.
James doesn’t have the courage to call Raymond himself, let alone know his phone number. He could call the old man, but it’s just to make sure the old man is satisfied with Selena.
Beatrice is starving and can’t help but complain, ‘I don’t think they’re coming. Husband, let’s eat first. Don’t let Alice suff om hunger. Nick has been working at the company all day.‘
Hearing this, James also softens. Lately, Nick had been staying at the Fair family’s company and
hasn’t caused any major troubles. He has been diligently learning.
James sighs, those two probably won’t come. ‘Let’s eat.‘
As soon as he finishes speaking, a servant rushes in from the entrance. ‘Sir, there’s a Rolls–Royce
parked outside. It seems Mr. Montague has arrived.
James‘ eyes light up, and he excitedly stands up. Could it be that Raymond and Selena have come together? A glimmer of hope arises in his heart.
Yes, last time Raymond even gave Selena a Rolls–Royce umbrella, so it seems their relationship is
quite good. He takes a step forward, about to leave, but then looks back at Beatrice.
“What are you just standing there for? Come with me to welcome the guest.” Reluctantly, Beatrice stands up.
When Beatrice saw her daughter’s excited face, she clenched her hand nervously. It was the expression one had when they were about to see a loved one. Beatrice slightly furrowed her brows
and then saw Alice stride confidently towards the entrance.
Beatrice was not a fool, and if she didn’t understand her daughter’s feelings at this moment, then she had wasted all these years. James didn’t expect Alice to arrive so quickly, but he didn’t pay much attention to it. He waited for Beatrice to arrive, and they walked towards the entrance together.
Raymond remained seated in the car, and it was John who got out. John nodded at the people by the entrance, his face devoid of expression. “The President just finished a business engagement and won’t be coming out. Mr. Fair, I hope you enjoy your meal,” he said in a polite manner.
The wording was quite subtle, as Raymond chose not to show himself but still acknowledged their presence, allowing them to have a pleasant meal. It was a gesture that was neither too big nor too small, granting mercy to the Fair family.

If it were someone else attempting to pressure him through the old man, he would have already taken action in the business realm.
After the last project interception, the Fair family had not learned their lesson, and this time they had gone too far. He had no need to grant them any mercy, but unfortunately, the old man’s health was not good.
If he were to find out, re would be trouble. James’s expression turned ugly, and at this moment,
he fully understood Raymond’s intentions. He did not like Selena. If he did, he wouldn’t allow the
Fair family to be embarrassed like this.
