Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 133

Chapter 133: He’s a Liar

The moment Jacob’s words fell, the room plunged into an eerie silence.

Selina blinked.

What... did he mean by that?

Logan subtly shifted his body, shielding most of Selina from view. His tone was indifferent. "No comment. Please leave."

Jacob chuckled meaningfully. "Logan, you seem awfully unwelcoming. What’s the matter? Afraid I might say something you don’t want Miss Clark to hear?"

Logan’s eyes turned cold in an instant.

Jacob smiled faintly, his gaze landing on Selina with an unreadable expression.

"I heard Miss Clark is determined to marry the heir of the Carter Family... But have you ever considered that you might have gotten something wrong?"

Selina narrowed her eyes.

Hostile much?

She was curious about Logan’s true identity, but she didn’t appreciate people trying to drive a wedge between them.

And to think, she had initially thought Mr. Carter was a decent guy.

Selina’s eyes gleamed. "Even if I did get something wrong... what does that have to do with you, Mr. Carter?"

Jacob raised an eyebrow. "So you’re not interested in the truth?"

Selina’s expression remained calm. "I am. But I can figure it out on my own—I don’t need your reminders."

Jacob hadn’t expected that response.

She clearly had suspicions about Logan, so why was she...

"Are you still here, Mr. Carter?" Selina suddenly asked.

Jacob let out a soft chuckle. "Looks like I’m not wanted here."

With that, he turned and left without hesitation.

Logan watched her face carefully, his Adam’s apple shifting slightly.

"Aren’t you afraid of missing out on the truth?"

Of course, she was.

She had her own doubts—so why had she cut Jacob off?

The truth was...

Jacob had implied that Logan had been deceiving her.

And for some reason... she didn’t want to hear that from him.

Logan understood what she was thinking, and his heart softened slightly. He closed his eyes for a moment.

But what could he do?

He was a liar. A manipulative, calculating liar who had done everything he could to trap Mrs. Reid at his side. _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}

After dinner, Selina returned to Sapphire Valley Villa and received a call.

On the other end, Justin’s voice was calm. "The Clark Family invited you to their wedding anniversary?"

Selina was curious. "How do you know?"

Justin’s tone carried amusement. "Natalia’s been bragging about it. I mean, think about it—what mistress wouldn’t take the opportunity to flaunt the fact that the first wife’s daughter had to attend her wedding anniversary?"

Selina blinked.

Justin clicked his tongue. "The Clark Family really has some nerve, huh?"

Selina wasn’t some fragile little victim. Did Katie seriously not worry about ruining her own anniversary?

"What nonsense. I’m not an unreasonable person," Selina said slowly, her tone dripping with false sincerity.

"Since I am going to this event, I’ll be sure to be on my best behavior—so that my mistress stepmother has a truly unforgettable experience."

After hanging up, she instinctively thought about asking Logan if he wanted to join her.

But as she walked toward him, she suddenly hesitated.

Was she... relying on this man too much?

That wasn’t good.

It was just a small event—she could handle it herself. There was no need to trouble him.

Meanwhile, Logan remained seated, waiting in silence.

As the sky darkened and Selina eventually went to bed, he finally understood.

So, Mrs. Reid doesn’t intend to bring me along this time...

No matter.

He could go by himself.

After all, protecting Mrs. Reid was his job. He wasn’t about to let anyone else take his place.

Two days later, at the Clark Family estate...

The place was bustling with guests, all there to celebrate James and Katie’s 20th wedding anniversary.

Smiles were everywhere.

Natalia spotted a familiar figure entering and immediately sneered.

She whispered something to the person beside her.

Selina entered the villa and, uninterested in socializing, found a quiet spot in the back garden to sit.

Just as she was settling in, she heard an unpleasant voice.

"Oh, look who showed up—the abandoned stray dog! Haha, what a joke. All those rich heirs are circling around Natalia, and she’s sitting here alone. How pathetic."
