Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 157

Chapter 157: Let Her Have Her Fun First

"Are you sure... this is just a glass of wine?"

The crowd was puzzled. What did she mean?

Natalia’s expression stiffened for a moment before she forced a helpless smile. "Sister, what are you talking about? Isn’t it just a glass of wine?"

"I know he ruined your coat, but you’re not short on money. Can’t you just be a little more forgiving?"

Selina’s smile grew colder.

Natalia pretended to be composed and said disapprovingly, "Sister, even though I’m younger, there are some things I have to tell you."

"Today is a school banquet. If you cause a scene over something so small, you’ll embarrass the entire university. What then? You’re grown up now. You can’t keep acting like a child."

Selina looked at her with a half-smile.

Natalia was truly clever.

She had bribed the waiter and then took the moral high ground, accusing Selina of making a fuss over nothing, as if she were unreasonable for being upset despite not being hurt.

Selina’s gaze sharpened like a blade as she tucked her hair behind her ear and casually said, "Natalia, if you’re going deaf, you should see a doctor soon."

Natalia’s eyes reddened. "Sister, I’m doing this for your own good, but you keep dodging the issue—"

"For my own good?"

Selina let out a laugh, as if she had just heard the biggest joke. Her voice was chillingly cold.

"Natalia, I find it rather strange. Ever since he spilled that drink on me, have I said a single word of blame?"

The crowd hesitated. Now that she mentioned it... she really hadn’t.

Selina’s tone was laced with meaning. "It was this waiter who kept apologizing and repeatedly labeling me as ’bullying the poor.’ Then you showed up, conveniently siding with him, playing along in perfect harmony. Somehow, I—the victim—became the unreasonable villain, while you got to criticize me for being immature. Isn’t that right?"

Natalia’s face turned ghostly pale!

A shiver ran through the crowd as realization struck.

Selina hadn’t said a single word from the start. It was the waiter and Natalia’s act that had made everyone think she was picking on the staff.

Natalia claimed to be looking out for her sister, yet every move she made was pushing Selina deeper into the pit.

Students began whispering among themselves:

"Aren’t they sisters? Why is Natalia siding with a stranger to ruin her sister’s reputation?"

"Natalia is an illegitimate child from an affair..."

Natalia’s expression shifted rapidly. Suddenly, she covered her mouth and started crying. "I’m sorry, Sister. I just felt bad for him and didn’t think it through. This is all my fault..."

"But since Sister isn’t too upset about it, why don’t we just let it go? There’s no need to blow things out of proportion, alright?"

The waiter turned to flee.

"Wait—"

Selina tilted her head slightly. "Did I say you could leave?"

Natalia’s face turned even paler. "Sister, it was just an accident, and he already apologized. I think—"

"An accident?"

Selina’s expression turned ice-cold as she lifted her coat and showed it to everyone. "An accident where he spilled wine on me, and somehow, the wine contained sulfuric acid? It wouldn’t have killed me, but it definitely would have scarred me for life."

She sneered. "Is this what you call an accident?"

The entire hall fell into stunned silence!

Selina’s coat was corroded—proof that the liquid was acid. And that glass of wine had been aimed at her face... This wasn’t an accident at all. It was a deliberate attack!

That waiter had tried to disfigure Selina!

Logan’s expression turned murderous. "Jack, find out who this waiter has been meeting with in private."
