Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105: His Past

Amelia’s throat tightened.

Logan paused briefly before continuing, "Mrs. Perry, you seem to enjoy raising other people’s sons, but unfortunately, I don’t share that sentiment."

"You’re being insolent!" Amelia seemed to have been struck in a sore spot, finally losing her temper. She trembled with rage and shouted,

"Logan, I’m your mother! How dare you speak to me like this?!"

Logan lazily twirled a fruit knife between his fingers, his tone indifferent.

"Mrs. Perry, you’re well aware of what kind of worthless failure your adopted son is. If you’re interested in playing house with him, be my guest, but I have no patience for babysitting idiots."

"You—!" Amelia’s face turned red with fury, her voice rising in anger. "In any case, the South City land will go to your brother, or don’t blame me for what happens next!"

Logan drawled, "The South City land isn’t solely mine to decide. If I let it go now, Mrs. Perry, how exactly should I explain that to my shareholders?"

Amelia scoffed, her tone arrogant. "That’s your problem. Regardless, you can’t let your brother suffer."

Logan nodded, casually setting down the fruit knife. He tapped his phone twice.

"When your adopted son squanders that piece of land, I’ll just play this recording for the shareholders."

"Logan!" Amelia finally realized she’d been tricked. "You two are brothers! You should be helping each other! What kind of elder brother are you?!"

Brother? How laughable.

Logan’s expression was cold as he cast her a sidelong glance. "And what happened to the person who called you ’sister’? You stole her identity and her husband. Mrs. Perry, I wouldn’t dare repeat history by trusting an adopted son."

How could Amelia not understand the meaning behind his words?

Logan was mocking her for stealing Anna’s identity!

Her rage boiled over. "I was an adopted daughter and a mistress—do you think you’re any better?! Logan, no matter how high and mighty you act, you still came out of my womb! You’ll always be a bastard! If you help your brother now, he’ll take care of you in the future!"

"And stop pretending—you think people don’t know what kind of filthy rat you used to be? You were willing to risk your life for a scrap of food! You’re disgusting, so what right do you have to look down on me?!"

"If Mrs. Perry knows what kind of person I used to be, then you should know better than to provoke me." Logan’s voice carried unmistakable disgust. "A man like me—raised in violence, hands stained with blood—do you really want to test me?"

With a sharp whoosh, the fruit knife embedded itself into the sofa, making Amelia freeze in terror.

Logan suddenly lost interest. He had thought this woman might have grown smarter, but she was still the same—vile and foolish.

How ridiculous that this woman, who had never cared if he lived or died, was his biological mother.

He had crawled out of piles of corpses as a child, fought stray dogs for food, endured the most bitter and brutal suffering, only to return home and find a "son" had already replaced him.

From then on, he became an unwanted burden, a bastard no one acknowledged.

Mrs. Reid had asked him yesterday why he changed his surname.

Because when he was abandoned in the world, he only had the name Logan, no last name at all, and he didn’t even know that he was a member of the Reid family. When the Reid Family "reclaimed" him, he was forced to take their name.

But even after being given the Reid name, even as the biological son of the family, he remained the most disgraceful existence within it.

And now, after fifteen years, Amelia still thought she could use his past to threaten him?

Logan walked out without hesitation.

In that instant, he transformed back into the untouchable head of the Reid Family—cold, composed, and aristocratic.

No one would ever guess that beneath that refined exterior lay such an unspeakable past.

Jack was already waiting at the entrance. The moment he saw Logan step out, he quickly approached. "Sir, about the South City land..."

A sharp glint flashed in Logan’s eyes. "Since my dear brother has set his sights on it, let’s give it to him. Spread the word that I’m fully committed to securing that land."

Jack immediately understood that his boss had his own plans. "Yes, sir! Did Mrs. Perry give you any trouble?"

Logan let out a mocking laugh. Trouble? Amelia’s so-called trouble was hardly worth mentioning. He was keeping her around for now simply because there were still some things he needed to uncover.
