Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 540 I Haven't Called You My Wife

Raymond's breath hitched, a silent signal that he was finished with the conversation. Olivia, understanding his unspoken command, held her tongue and allowed him to return to his seat. Once he was out of earshot, her lips curled into a sneer. "You may be married to Raymond, but he's yet to refer to you as his wife, hasn't he?" she taunted.

Selena offered no response, her face obscured beneath the shadow of her hat, leaving Olivia to speculate about her emotions.

"I forgot to tell you, I'm pregnant with his child." Selena's eyelashes trembled slightly, and Ann, who was seated next to her, looked at her belly in surprise.

Olivia, emboldened by her perceived victory, ran a confident hand over her own belly. "Although you're married, you haven't managed to conceive. Not only am I carrying his child, but he also told me that he finds you disgusting and wants a divorce."

Before Selena could respond, the host took to the stage, providing Olivia with an opportune exit.

As she made her departure, Selena's voice, purposefully hushed, reached Olivia's ears. "Mr. Montague said he only slept with one woman. I wonder if that woman was you? If it is, then whose child is Miss Stone carrying?" Olivia's facade crumbled, her embarrassment laid bare. "You... you..." Her voice wavered, rising and falling abruptly. The presence of the media personnel reminded her of the need to maintain her composure.

Taking a deep breath, Olivia shot Selena a cold look. "Just wait and see how your husband supports me," she threatened before striding away.

Ann, left behind with Selena, muttered, "What a rotten egg."

Selena found amusement in her friend's comment and inquired, "Ann, do you have a boyfriend?"
