Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 141

Chapter 141: Digging Their Own Grave

Logan casually twirled the recording device between his fingers before playing it.

Crystal-clear audio echoed through the room—

Natalia: "Mom, why should a man as incredible as Logan belong to Selina? What if I take him for myself?"

The entire room froze.

That... that was Natalia’s voice?!

James was completely stunned. He never imagined Natalia would be so bold. His head snapped toward her in shock.

Katie’s entire body trembled. No!

The recording could not get out. If this continued—Natalia would be ruined!

But it was too late to stop it.

—— Katie: "Tonight, Mr. Reid will be staying over. Natalia, go to his room in the middle of the night. You’re so beautiful—there’s no way Mr. Reid won’t be tempted. By morning, I’ll bring people to ’catch you in the act’ and force him to take responsibility!"

—— Natalia: "Thanks, Mom! Once I become Mrs. Reid, we’ll marry my dear sister off to Mr. Perez. Otherwise, she’ll just be all alone... how pitiful."

...

Silence.

Absolute, suffocating silence.

Earlier, Katie had claimed Natalia simply went into the wrong room.

But the recording proved otherwise.

This had all been a deliberate scheme—a carefully planned attempt to steal Selina’s husband!

Not only that, but they had even plotted to hand Selina over to Mr. Perez like a discarded object.

How vile could mistresses get?!

Natalia shook violently, tears streaming down her face. "No! No! This isn’t real!"

Logan let out a low chuckle, his gaze cold as he turned to the utterly terrified James.

His voice was calm, but with an edge that sent a chill down everyone’s spine.

"I’m not the kind of man who lets people take advantage of me, Mr. Clark. Your wife and daughter tried to set me up. What do you think I’ll do about that?"

Jack stepped forward at the perfect moment.

"Mr. Clark, in case you weren’t aware, the last person who crossed Mr. Reid is now living in the outskirts of City A... collecting scraps for a living."

Jack’s tone was polite, but his words were sharp.

"Mr. Reid may spare you out of respect for Mrs. Reid, but Clark Group... will not be so lucky."

Vice President Morris immediately took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

"Tsk, tsk. People really do forget how Mr. Reid deals with betrayal. Mr. Reid, if you ask me, you should make an example of Clark Family. That way, everyone will know what happens when they try to play dirty with you!"

Thud.

James dropped to his knees in sheer terror.

Everyone knew who Logan really was.

His origins were never discussed openly in high society, but everyone understood—he was the illegitimate son of the Reid Family.

And yet, he had single-handedly taken control of the entire Reid empire.

Even Grandpa Reid didn’t dare to challenge him.

Did Katie lose her mind?

Did she really think she could manipulate someone like Logan?!

And to make it worse... she had been caught on tape.

James was so overwhelmed with fear that he didn’t even know how to beg.

His lips trembled before he suddenly turned to Selina as if grasping at straws.

"Selina! Selina!"

A flicker of hope crossed his eyes—he still had another daughter!

He gritted his teeth and forced a smile.

"Selina, you know what Katie and Natalia are like. They were just talking nonsense! How could I ever force you into a business marriage?"

Selina blinked, unfazed. _{frёeweɓηovel.coɱ}

"Oh? So, are you asking me to plead for Clark Group?"

James nodded eagerly, like a drowning man clutching at a lifeline.

"Yes! Yes! Clark Group is your family too, right? You wouldn’t want to see it fall apart, would you? You—"

"I don’t care."

Selina cut him off immediately.

Her voice was light, almost amused, but her words felt like a knife to James’ throat.

"Why would I care, Dad? My stepmother and sister already planned to sell me off to Mr. Perez for a business alliance. I’ve completely given up on Clark Group."

James’ throat closed up.

He couldn’t say a word.
