Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156: Playing Dumb to Outsmart the Smart

Outside the Carter estate—

The moment Logan stepped out, he saw Selina waiting by the entrance.

Selina hung up the phone and immediately changed her plans, asking the driver to take her to the Carter Family estate.

As soon as she arrived, she saw Logan walking out of the villa. "Logan, are you alright?" she asked, concerned.

Logan smiled with a slight curve of his lips. "Mrs. Reid, what brings you here?"

Selina replied naturally, "I was worried about you."

A sudden flutter of unfamiliar emotion gripped his heart, and it felt as if it was soaking in honey. "Don’t worry," he said with a relaxed smile, "I’m not missing any limbs."

Selina frowned in disapproval. "You know Carter Family has no good intentions. Why are you still here? Don’t come again next time."

Logan couldn’t help but laugh softly. "Alright, I’ll listen to Mrs. Reid."

Jack, silently driving, thought to himself: "..."

This time, no one dared to cross the boss. In fact, the boss had just taken 5% of Carter Family’s shares from Old Mr. Carter. The entire Carter Family was terrified that the truth about their adoption might be exposed, and they feared the boss’s methods. They were all angry but dared not speak out.

Jack had already figured out Mr. Reid—he was clearly pretending to be pitiful to gain his wife’s sympathy!

Upon arriving at the villa, Jack received a message: "Sir, tomorrow is the City A University mobilization meeting. The president has invited you to attend. Will you go?"

Logan pondered for a moment. "Didn’t Mrs. Reid say her design competition spot was taken?"

So, of course, he had to go.

Mrs. Reid hadn’t asked Jacob for help but instead complained to him. He was quite satisfied with that.

The next day.

Selina woke up and started looking for a dress. Miller Butler, standing by, asked, "Madam, do you have any events today? Would you like a stylist to come over?"

"No need, it’s not that fancy."

Selina picked out a simple dress. "Today is our school’s mobilization meeting. We’re about to graduate, and the president and the board of trustees will be giving speeches."

It was a tradition at City A University to hold a banquet for the seniors during the second semester of their senior year.

Miller Butler suddenly said, "How coincidental! Sir is actually one of the board members. He could take you there."

Selina froze for a moment. Hmm? Is Logan really that free these days?

When they arrived at the grand hall, Selina looked around to make sure no one was watching. "I’ll get out here."

Logan’s tone was gentle. "Alright."

She didn’t want her classmates to know about her relationship with Logan, so she quietly got out of the car. But after walking only a few steps, she heard a wave of gasps.

Selina instinctively turned around and locked eyes with Logan. "You..."

Logan casually responded, "I just happen to be walking this way too."

The man’s fingertips lightly brushed her collarbone, adjusting her collar, and then leaned in slightly, lowering his voice, "See you in a bit."

Selina: "..."

After Logan left, she immediately heard a group of girls excitedly screaming, "Ahh, isn’t that Mr. Reid, the board member?"

"Isn’t that Selina with him? Wow, if Mr. Reid could help me fix my collar, that’d be amazing!"

"Dream on! But why would Mr. Reid bring Selina to school?"

"Maybe Mr. Reid is in love with Selina!"

...

Natalia hid behind a corner, her gaze dark and vengeful as she overheard their conversation.

Selina, Selina, again Selina! She was supposed to be the center of attention today, but once again, Selina stole her spotlight!
