Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' Chapter 130: Bold Words

The students continued their discussion:

"The Carter Family mbers all seem afraid to offend him, especially Ryan."

Selina nodded. Of course. After all, Logan was Ryan’s uncle. And soone like Ryan—who only bullied the weak and feared the strong—would naturally be terrified of Logan.

"I saw it myself last ti! Ryan is usually so arrogant, but when Logan visited the Carter Family, he actually went to the door to personally welco him!"

"Could it be because the Carter Family is wary of Reid Group? Or maybe they’re just forced to cooperate with him?"

Selina narrowed her eyes.

She had already been questioning Logan’s true identity...

"You’re all wrong. It has nothing to do with business matters."

A female voice suddenly spoke up, calm and indifferent:

"Mr. Reid and the Carter Family might actually be related."

The girl who spoke was from the Moore Family—a longti business partner of the Carter Family. That ant she had access to information that others didn’t.

"My father said that when Logan was a child, he lived at the Carter Family estate for quite so ti. Old Mr. Carter doted on him a lot. But then, for so reason, Logan moved out... and even changed his last na."

A wave of shock rippled through the students.

Selina fell into deep thought.

Was she wrong to doubt Logan’s identity?

Could it be that there was nothing suspicious about his background?

The students continued their excited chatter.

"If Logan is really related to the Carter Family, then Natalia just hit the jackpot!"

"Yeah! If she marries Ryan, she’ll be connected to Logan too. So jealous..."

Selina clicked her tongue, snapping out of her thoughts.

So Natalia had found this opportunity, huh?

Trying to climb her way up? In her dreams.

Selina’s eyes glead as she pulled out her phone and dialed the driver.

"Take to Reid Group."

Half an hour later, Selina arrived.

It was her first ti visiting Logan’s workplace. Just as she was about to step inside, an unpleasant female voice rang out:

"So people really have no sha. They know they’re not worthy, yet they still shalessly cling on."

Selina frowned and glanced at the woman.

She didn’t recognize her.

So she ignored her and kept walking.

But the woman suddenly stepped forward and blocked her path, glaring in disgust. "What, are you deaf? Didn’t you hear talking to you?"

Selina narrowed her eyes.

Wait... was that insult directed at her?

Who was this woman?

Selina had never been one to tolerate nonsense. She smirked. "Oh, you were talking to ? My bad. I thought it was just so stray dog barking."

"You—!" The woman’s face twisted with anger, but she quickly regained her arrogant deanor and turned to the receptionist.

"She doesn’t have an appointnt. Throw her out."

Selina sneered. In Logan’s own company, soone actually dared to act this arrogant?

She pulled out her phone, ready to call Jack—

"Lucy, don’t be angry. My sister didn’t an it."

Natalia suddenly jogged over, her expression full of fake guilt.

"Sister, this is Mr. Reid’s secretary, Miss Lucy. This isn’t a place for soone like you. You should leave."

Logan’s secretary... Oh. That explained it.

Lucy’s confidence soared. "Now you get it? Hurry up and leave."

Selina smirked, her tone playful. "Natalia, you know my identity. Is it really strange for to be here looking for Logan?"

Natalia’s expression froze.

Damn it. Of course she knew that Selina was Mrs. Reid.

But so what?! Mr. Reid was definitely going to abandon this shaless woman sooner or later!

Lucy frowned, eyeing Selina with disdain. "Identity? What identity?"

Natalia nearly clenched her teeth to dust.

She had finally managed to get into Reid Group, and with Lucy’s help, she was just about to et Mr. Reid.

And then Selina had to show up at this mont?!

No way.

She could not let Lucy find out Selina was Mrs. Reid. Otherwise, all her efforts would be wasted!

Thinking quickly, Natalia feigned helplessness and said, "Lucy, my sister... she’s just a maid at Sapphire Valley Villa."

Lucy imdiately relaxed, her expression turning even more disdainful.

So that was it? Just a re maid!

"Hilarious. Won like you—who don’t know their place and think seducing Mr. Reid will turn them into so high-society lady—I’ve seen plenty. You’d better rember who you are and stop fantasizing about things that don’t belong to you!"

Selina almost burst into laughter out of sheer disbelief.

No wonder Lucy had been hostile from the start.

She wasn’t targeting her specifically—she was targeting any woman prettier than her.

Because Lucy liked Logan!

Selina lifted her chin and flaunted, her tone as smug as possible, dripping with faux innocence:

"Oh, absolutely. I ca here specifically to see Logan. Not only that, but we’ll be having dinner together, and later... sleeping together too. Miss Lucy, why are you, a re secretary, getting so worked up? Mr. Reid’s personal life isn’t sothing he needs to report to you, is it?"

The crowd imdiately turned to watch.

Lucy’s face stiffened. She was so furious she nearly coughed up blood. "Y-you shaless woman! As if Mr. Reid would ever take an interest in soone like you! Nonsense!"

Selina blinked innocently. "Oh, but I’m not making things up. Your Mr. Reid absolutely adores . He calls baby every day, and just this morning, he insisted that I send him off personally. He even said he can’t bear to be apart from ."

"Shut up!"

Lucy was livid.

She had worked beside Logan for three years. She was the one closest to him—she was supposed to be special.

And yet, this maid dared to act like she ant sothing?!

"You’re absolutely disgraceful! Being a mistress, a howrecker—what, you enjoy degrading yourself?!"

Lucy was shrieking now, her face twisted with rage.

She suddenly lifted her hand, about to slap Selina across the face!

"I knew the mont I saw your face that you were nothing but trouble! Stop dreaming about becoming Mrs. Reid! Once Mr. Reid gets tired of you, I’ll personally make sure—ahh!"

Crack!

With a swift move, Selina caught Lucy’s wrist and twisted it effortlessly.

A sharp pain shot up Lucy’s arm. "My hand! You bitch! Go get Mr. Reid! Selina, you’re finished! Mr. Reid will never let you off!"

Selina smirked, the perfect picture of soone who knew she was spoiled and untouchable.

"Sure, go ahead. Tell Logan. Let’s see who he sides with—you or ."

Lucy nearly passed out from rage. She completely dropped the act, screaming, "You bitch! Soone, get her! Beat her to death!"

At her command, the bodyguards stepped forward—

"Stop."

A deep, icy male voice cut through the commotion.

Everyone froze.

They turned to look—and instantly held their breath.

Logan.

His eyes narrowed, a cold, dangerous glint in his gaze. "What’s going on here?"

"Mr. Reid!"

Lucy imdiately switched to her most pitiful expression, her eyes shimring with unshed tears. "You don’t know what’s happening. Your maid ca to Reid Group causing trouble—and had the audacity to claim that you are her man!"

That last part echoed in the air—

Her man...

Logan’s brow lifted slightly. He turned his gaze to Selina, his expression unreadable.

"Is that so?"

Selina blinked, eting his eyes—

And suddenly felt very guilty.

Uh-oh.

Bragging about him to Lucy was one thing.

But having the man himself hear it...?

For so reason, she suddenly felt a strange sense of embarrassnt.
