Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106: An Eye for an Eye

Everyone froze, instinctively turning to look at Selina.

The wedding dress she was wearing... wasn’t that Galaxy River, the very gown Sean had promised to give to Natalia?

Zoey was the first to react, immediately lashing out. "Do you have no shame? Are you addicted to stealing things from Natalia?!"

Selina lifted her gaze slightly, her tone laced with mockery. "Natalia’s?"

Zoey fumed. "Of course, it’s Natalia’s! You probably don’t know, but this is Mr. Sean White, a disciple of Designer Turner! He’s a friend of Natalia’s and promised to give her this wedding dress!"

Sean’s face darkened with displeasure. "Miss Clark, if you take off the dress now, I’ll let this go. But if you refuse, once my mentor arrives, you’ll be in serious trouble."

Natalia bit her lip and spoke with a hesitant, troubled expression.

"Sister, at home, I’ve always given in to you. But this gown was a gift from Mr. White, and without his permission, I can’t just give it away. I hope you can understand."

"I know you’ve never seen a wedding dress this exquisite before, but that doesn’t mean you can just take it. If you do, people will only say that you lack proper manners. I’m saying this for your own good."

Her words painted her as the considerate younger sister, looking out for Selina’s reputation. The onlookers couldn’t help but sigh—Natalia truly was a kind-hearted sister.

But Selina had never been one to stand still and let people slander her. She raised an eyebrow and chuckled.

"As everyone knows, Galaxy River is Kevin’s proudest creation. Even Mr. White doesn’t have the authority to give it away. So how exactly did it suddenly become yours?"

"Or is this how it works—you claim something as yours, and anyone wearing it automatically becomes a thief? So today, you say I stole your dress and force me to hand it over. Tomorrow, if you want something from someone else, will you accuse them of stealing too?"

With just a few light remarks, Selina’s words landed like sharp slaps on Natalia’s face.

Natalia turned pale. "That’s not true, sister, I didn’t—"

"Why are you bullying Natalia?!" Sean suddenly roared, his glare filled with hostility.

"I may not have the right to give away the dress, but my mentor does! Mr. Turner personally said Galaxy River was reserved for Miss Clark!"

"Selina, I gave you a chance, but you just had to push your luck! Let me be blunt—you’re nothing but a disgrace. You don’t deserve to wear my mentor’s wedding dress! Get out of here!"

Jillian’s face lit up with glee, and she shouted triumphantly, "Did you hear that?! Someone come and throw this disgrace out!"

Natalia looked hesitant, as if she wanted to say something on Selina’s behalf, but in the end, she simply sighed and shook her head.

Selina, after taking a moment to enjoy the expressions on everyone’s faces, casually tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and spoke unhurriedly.

"Mr. White, you’re sure... Galaxy River was personally reserved for Natalia?"

Sean’s patience was wearing thin. "Are you questioning me?!"

"Not exactly." Selina smiled faintly. "I’m just... a little curious."

Curious? Curious about what?

Before anyone could figure it out, Selina’s voice rang out again, filled with amusement—

"If this dress was truly reserved for Natalia, then why does my name appear on it?"

...

What did she just say?

Her name? On the wedding dress?

Natalia’s body wavered slightly before she steadied herself. "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Jillian snapped, "Wow, Selina, you’ll say anything just to steal from Natalia! Mr. White is a student of Designer Turner—he would know if there was a name on the dress! I’m telling you—"

Her words came to an abrupt halt.

Selina lifted her hand slightly, revealing a delicate wrist wrapped in fine lace.

And on the layers of intricate embroidery, stitched in shimmering silver thread—

Selina.

The letters spelled out Selina!

Jillian’s eyes widened in shock, her voice catching in her throat.

Everyone else stared in disbelief, their breaths hitching.

"There really is a name on it!"
