Singed Once Always Wary

Chapter 39

On the top floor of the Montague building, Raymond sat behind his desk with an unchanged expression. He had taken a quick trip to Wolfland at noon and was surprised to find that they had stood him up.

His impression of them, already at rock bottom, now plummeted even further.

Raymond rubbed his forehead for a while before saying, “Ask the lawyer to draft a new contract. The Montague family is willing to help the Fair family through their second round of financing, on the condition that this nominal wife accompanies me in pretending to be in love.”

He referred to her as such because he didn’t even know her name. The old man always called her Selena.

As for whether her name was two or three characters long, he wasn’t interested in finding out.

John nodded and quickly went to arrange it.

The lawyer drafted the contract quickly, and within half an hour, it was and Raymond signed it.

In just forty minutes, the lawyer had personally delivered the contract to Selena’s apartment.

After returning from the studio, Selena was worried about how to explain standing Raymond up. If he got angry and vented his frustrations on the Fair family, she might not be able to fulfill James‘ expectations.

Should she send a message to explain, or apologize with a phone call?

As she was struggling with the decision, the doorbell rang.

When she opened the door, she saw a man in a suit standing outside. “Miss Fair, Mr. Montague asked me to give you this contract. He has already signed it, and you can take a look at it.”

Selena instinctively thought it was the divorce agreement. But upon taking a closer look, she realized it wasn’t.

The Montague family was willing to help the Fair family through their second round of financing?

And she just had to pretend to be in love with Raymond?

Whether it was a year or two, or five years, she could accept it. But if Raymond wanted her to act for ten or twenty years, wouldn’t she be stuck in this marriage for the rest of her life?

“Grandpa will be returning sun, and Mr. Montague doesn’t want to upset his health. Once Grandpa has recovered, youll get divorced. If there is any additional compensation needed then.

“No need,” Selena eagerly signed her name without hesitation.

The Lawyer was surprised to see her reaction and thought that maybe she hadn’t read the terms carefully, so he solemnly reminded her, “Miss Fair, there is also a clause in the contract that once the contract is terminated, which would be when you both get divorced, do you need to add any additional

The lawyer felt awkward, wondering why he felt like he was in a rush to leave. He quickly nodded, “Alright, Miss Fair, you’re busy.”

As he left the apartment building, he was confused.

He had prepared several arguments against Selena’s attempt to negotiate for more during this opportunity. And Mr. Montague himself thought the
