Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139: The Double Standard Logic

Who... was in that room?

Katie stumbled back two steps, an overwhelming sense of dread washing over her.

Logan hadn’t been in the guest room last night—he had been in the conference room...

Then where was Natalia?! Where had Natalia spent the night?!

Katie didn’t dare to think about it. She stammered as she backed away, "Since... since it wasn’t you, then let’s just drop it. There’s no need to know. These are all guests—causing a scene wouldn’t be good..."

"What a shame—I’m rather curious. Jack, open the door."

Logan gave the order lazily. Jack immediately stepped forward, and under Katie’s horrified gaze, he slowly pushed the door open—

"No—" Katie lunged forward, but it was too late!

"Ah!"

A sharp scream pierced the air as someone pointed a trembling finger at the bed.

"Isn’t that Natalia?!"

Everyone instinctively turned their heads.

Natalia lay sprawled on the bed, her face flushed, her body barely covered. Just one look and it was obvious what had happened the night before.

Katie’s face drained of all color. It was as if the sky had collapsed around her. She rushed forward in a frenzy, yanking the blanket up to cover Natalia’s body.

"Don’t look! No one is allowed to look!"

She didn’t even dare to think about who Natalia had spent the night with—she only knew that they were completely doomed.

"Didn’t you just say this had nothing to do with Natalia, Mrs. Bryant? Then why is my dear little sister lying naked in my husband’s bed?"

Selina blinked innocently. "Could it be that you were serious about passing down the ’art of being a mistress’ to your daughter?"

"No, no, that’s not it!"

Katie was drenched in cold sweat. She couldn’t afford to offend Logan now!

She forced a shaky smile. "Mr. Reid, please don’t listen to Selina’s nonsense. Natalia must have just... accidentally gone into the wrong room..."

"Mom, why are you here?"

Just then, Natalia slowly woke up.

Katie’s breath caught in her throat. Her expression changed drastically as she quickly raised her voice. "Natalia—"

But it was too late.

Still drowsy and unaware of the situation, Natalia blushed and murmured shyly, "Mom, you were right. No man can resist me... I belong to Logan now."

Logan’s expression darkened instantly.

Katie’s heart nearly stopped.

It was over!

She forced a stiff smile and quickly tried to cover up. "Natalia, what nonsense are you saying? Mr. Reid... Mr. Reid never returned to his room. You must still be drunk—come, let me help you sober up!"

But Natalia was furious. She had worked so hard to finally get Logan, had even spent the night with him—so why was Katie making things difficult for her now?!

"Mom, what are you hesitating for? Isn’t it a good thing that I slept with Mr. Reid? Or are you really planning to let that b*tch Selina stay as Mrs. Reid? She doesn’t deserve it!"

Katie’s head buzzed, and she felt faint. "Natalia, listen to me—last night... last night..."

"Oh? Sister, you slept with Logan?"

Selina suddenly asked, her voice full of amusement.

Natalia’s face stiffened.

Selina?

Why was Selina here?

But actually, this was perfect. Now Selina could see for herself that she had spent the night with Logan. She would have no choice but to give up!

Smugly, Natalia smirked. "Sister, don’t blame me. You just couldn’t hold on to your man. I wonder if Mr. Reid was ever this gentle with you when you were together."

The room fell into absolute silence.

Then, Selina’s voice rang out again, slow and deliberate.

"Oh...? Logan was very gentle with you?"

Natalia was eager to see Selina suffer. She sneered, "Of course! He even said he wants to marry me!"

A low, mocking chuckle escaped Logan’s lips.

Katie nearly fainted.

It was over. Completely over.

Selina had had her fun. Finally, she gave Natalia a ’helpful’ reminder.
