Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 161

Chapter 161: Only Holds Meaning When It Belongs to You

Logan’s voice was calm and unwavering. "I had a gown and a set of jewelry custom-made for you a while ago, but I never got the chance to give them to you. Today’s a good day to pick them up—you can wear them to the auction."

Custom-made jewelry... Selina swallowed. "What kind of jewelry?"

"A full set of rare purple diamonds."

Selina couldn’t help but cough. That set of rare purple diamonds?!

She remembered when they were auctioned off half a year ago—Justin had even gone to watch the bidding for fun. In the end, someone had bought them for 1.9 billion, and Selina had sighed at how many wealthy people there were in the world.

But as it turned out, the buyer had been Logan!

Not only that, but he had them made into a jewelry set... for her to wear to the auction?!

Selina hesitated. "Logan, isn’t that a bit too flashy?"

Logan’s tone was steady and firm. "Mrs. Reid, standing beside me means you will be in the spotlight. You should get used to it."

"My Mrs. Reid should outshine everyone—radiant and dazzling."

Selina’s heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.

Logan’s voice softened. "So, accept it. If you don’t, then its existence has no meaning."

Almost instinctively, Selina nodded.

Half an hour later, the car pulled up outside a luxury jewelry boutique.

Logan stepped out first, and the store manager, beaming with excitement, hurried over to greet him.

"Mr. Reid, your custom jewelry set is ready."

Selina was also curious to see how such an expensive purple diamond set had turned out.

Just as she stepped inside, the store manager’s smile grew even wider.

"Mr. Reid, don’t worry. Miss Perry already tried them on earlier, and they looked stunning. She’s upstairs now—would you like to go take a look?"

Selina stopped in her tracks.

Miss Perry... Vivian?

Logan’s expression turned ice-cold. His sharp gaze locked onto the manager. "Who did you give the jewelry to?"

The store manager proudly replied, "Of course, to Miss Perry. She received word early this morning that the set was finished and came right away. Mr. Reid, you’re so generous—spending such a fortune on Miss Perry..."

"Vivian?"

Logan cut him off, his face darkening. "Manager Wilson, when did I ever say the jewelry was for Vivian?"

Manager Wilson froze. "But... Miss Perry is your sister. She personally came to the store, so naturally, I assumed it was for her..."

Without another word, Logan headed upstairs. "I’ll have Jack handle this. Manager Wilson, think carefully about your next steps."

"Mr. Reid—no, Mr. Reid, please...!"

Manager Wilson panicked. Moments later, his phone rang, and after answering the call, his face turned ashen. His legs gave out, and he collapsed onto his knees in terror.

He clenched his fists, frustration boiling inside him. Turning to a nearby store employee, he muttered, "What else was I supposed to think? Who else would Mr. Reid be giving such jewelry to? I even confirmed with the Hayes Family that it wasn’t for Miss Hayes—so it had to be for Vivian!"

As he spoke, he suddenly glanced at Selina and vented all his frustration on her.

"If not Vivian, then what? It’s not like he’d give it to this kind of woman, right? I’ve seen plenty of these gold-digging leeches clinging to men like parasites. Disgusting."

Selina watched the scene unfold with amusement.

From the moment she stepped inside, Manager Wilson had completely ignored her. Even when his gaze accidentally landed on her, it carried nothing but disdain and contempt.

And now, he was outright insulting her—his arrogance practically leaking from every pore.

Selina chuckled. As she passed by Manager Wilson, she casually made a phone call.

"Kevin, I don’t like the high-end boutique on Fifth Avenue. Buy it."

Manager Wilson scoffed. "The audacity! These mistresses think they can say anything these days. First time I’ve ever heard of a woman like you talking about buying—"

Beep, beep, beep...

The stylist fawned over her, "Miss Perry, Mr. Reid truly spoils you. Just the auction price of this purple diamond alone was 1.9 billion, and the customization costs were even higher. You look even more stunning wearing it!" _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}
