Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159: Who Is She Really?

Logan casually glanced at Hanks Group’s financial report. Before long, Jack knocked and entered the office.

"Sir, President Hanks of Hanks Group wishes to see you."

Logan smirked. Normally, he wouldn’t bother meeting with such insignificant figures, but at this moment, he found it rather amusing. He nodded. "Let him in."

President Hanks stumbled into the room, and the moment he saw Logan, he fell to his knees with a loud thud.

"Mr. Reid, I beg you! Please show mercy and spare Hanks Group!"

That morning, Hanks Group’s stocks had been shorted, shares were sold off at dirt-cheap prices, and their entire financial chain had collapsed. President Hanks had no idea what had happened. After making inquiries through multiple connections, he finally learned it was related to Mr. Reid.

But he had no idea how he had offended Logan in the first place!

Kneeling on the cold floor, he trembled in silence, cold sweat dripping down his back. The entire room was eerily quiet until—

Logan let out a soft scoff.

"President Hanks, do you want to save your company?"

President Hanks shuddered violently. Afraid of losing Logan’s patience, he nodded frantically. "Yes, yes! Hanks Group is the result of generations of hard work. I’m willing to pay any price to keep it alive!"

"Good."

Logan’s gaze remained indifferent as he finally lifted his eyes. "Then you’ll have to choose—your company or your son."

"Do you want your business, or do you want your son?"

President Hanks felt his heart plummet into a bottomless abyss. "M-Mr. Reid, I... I don’t understand what you mean."

Logan arched a brow. "Or perhaps I should make it clearer—your son, Young Master Hanks, dared to offend Mrs. Reid. Do you understand now?"

City A University – Office.

Selina hung up her phone.

Mrs. Hanks suddenly burst into exaggerated laughter. "’Uncle’? What, have your parents all died off, so you can only call for an uncle to help you?"

She then curled her lips in disdain. "Oh, I almost forgot. Your own father abandoned you, calling you a jinx. No wonder. Trash like you should stay in the gutter where you belong. What’s the point of coming to City A University to ruin others?"

Professor White, desperate to curry favor, nodded eagerly. "Yes, yes! I assure you, the school will expel Selina immediately."

She then turned to Selina with righteous indignation. "Selina, as a student, how dare you hit someone? Apologize immediately!"

Selina leaned lazily against the desk, her tone light. "Professor White, you seem to enjoy being a lapdog so much. Why not just go guard the gates for the Hanks Family?"

"You—!"

Professor White’s face turned red, then white, pointing at Selina in fury as she snapped.

"Who do you think you are, talking to me like that?! I’m scolding you for your own good! Do you really think you’ll get far in society with that attitude?"

"Causing trouble in school? Ha! Just wait until you end up in prison! And when your so-called ’uncle’ arrives, I’ll have him take you out of here personally. A wretched girl like you must have an equally lowly uncle!"

Selina’s expression darkened. "A teacher like you—who only knows how to bully students, worship the wealthy, and suck up to the powerful—how good could you possibly be?"

Just then, her phone vibrated twice.

Justin had sent her Mrs. Hanks’ entire background.

Selina chuckled and read it aloud.

"As for you, Mrs. Hanks—you climbed into the bed of a man twenty years older than you, waited until his wife died, and then married into the family as a mistress. No wonder you get along so well with Amelia and Natalia. Birds of a feather flock together, after all."

Mrs. Hanks’ mind went blank for a moment.

Her deepest insecurity—the thing she hated people mentioning the most—was how she had climbed to her position through an affair!

Rage flared in her eyes. She shot to her feet, grabbed a nearby glass, and hurled it straight at Selina’s head.

"You filthy little whore! I’ll make sure you never survive in City A!"

"Who are you saying won’t survive in City A?"

A deep, ice-cold male voice rang out, instantly silencing the office.

Selina looked at the newcomer and, with a sweet, obedient tone, called out, "Uncle."

Gordon narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the two women in the office.

Professor White’s heart surged with excitement. Selina’s uncle?
