Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 443 Resentment

As if that weren't enough, Mrs. Montague often remarked, "Olivia, that girl is quite something, a talented artist. Christopher spoke to her a bit more today... Could it be he's taken a liking to her?"

Olivia's painting skills were indeed outstanding among her peers, and she was the most likely candidate to become Mr. Butler's student.

Thus, she shattered Mrs. Montague's prejudice about her background, and Mrs. Montague gave her blessing for her to marry into the Montague family.

Back when Raymond and Olivia first got together, Mrs. Montague had erupted in rage, accusing him of stealing his brother's wife and calling down divine retribution.

After Christopher's accident, Mrs. Montague started asking questions about Raymond's relationship with Olivia. At that time, Raymond didn't sense her concern. Instead, he felt a profound aversion. It seemed like she aimed to reserve Olivia for Christopher, anticipating Raymond, being Christopher's brother, to embrace her unquestioningly.

As a result, even now, Raymond felt a cool distance towards Mrs. Montague.

Raymond had just stepped back in from taking a call outside, bringing with him a chill that seemed to linger in his aura.

Mrs. Montague was visibly displeased and chided, "What's with the long face? Is it so hard to share a meal?"

Raymond's lashes lifted, revealing a flash of sharpness in his eyes.

Mrs. Montague was momentarily silenced, but her irritation quickly turned to downright anger.
