A young man in his early twenties stood there, his golden hair gleaming under the lights, his entire aura screaming arrogance.
Hearing Selina’s words, he immediately exploded with rage, lowering his head as he prepared to curse her out.
"You—"
But just as he caught sight of her stunning face, his expression suddenly turned red, and he forcefully swallowed his words. "You, I..."
Damn, this vixen is actually pretty hot. Is this the type Logan likes?
Selina didn’t know who this young man was, but she recognized the person standing behind him—Andrew.
Ah, Bella’s loyal lapdog.
Andrew’s face was stiff with anger as he gritted his teeth. "How dare you show up at this auction? Did you find out Bella was coming and decide to steal from her on purpose?!"
Selina had nothing to say to a lapdog. She turned to leave, but a group of rich second-generation heirs quickly blocked her path.
"Say something! Are you really trying to steal the violin from Bella?"
"Bella is our group’s darling, and you? A cursed jinx!"
Selina frowned. These people are insane.
Andrew’s face darkened. "Selina, we’re talking to you, and you dare walk away? Stop her!"
In an instant, the group surrounded her.
Andrew turned to the blonde young man with an eager smile. "Luke, Bella has been wanting that violin for a long time. But recently, Selina has been getting close to Logan. If she asks, Logan will definitely buy it for her."
"You don’t know, Selina always fights Bella for everything. Bella is kind-hearted and lets her have her way, but I just can’t stand it!"
Luke’s eyes widened in realization. Oh, so this woman really is a schemer.
I knew it! Someone who could seduce Logan couldn’t be ordinary. Looks like she’s got some tricks up her sleeve.
With his usual arrogance, he smirked and said, "Hey, Selina, if you have the guts, compete with me. If you lose, you don’t get to fight Bella for the violin!"
Being stopped and harassed repeatedly, Selina’s patience snapped.
Her gaze turned cold, and just as she was about to speak—
"Luke, don’t cause trouble."
A soft, graceful voice rang out.
Bella walked toward them with an elegant, deliberate pace.
"Selina, let me introduce you. This is Luke Reid, Logan’s younger brother. He’s been spoiled since childhood and speaks without a filter. Don’t take it to heart."
Selina raised an eyebrow. Logan’s younger brother?
Wasn’t there already an Owen? Now there’s another one?
Ah, it seemed this one was Amelia’s biological son.
So among the three Reid brothers—
Owen, raised in the Reid Family since childhood, was Amelia’s chosen heir.
Luke, born after Amelia successfully climbed to the top, was showered with love and indulgence.
And Logan...
Was the unwanted one.
Was that it?
Bella chuckled softly and playfully scolded, "Luke, don’t make things difficult for Selina. Not everyone is like us, trained in music and etiquette since childhood."
Andrew immediately caught on and loudly mocked, "Oh, right! How could I forget? Selina is just a country bumpkin who grew up in the middle of nowhere!"
His friends burst into laughter.
Selina casually tucked her hair behind her ear. "So, Miss Hayes, you’re asking me to give up the violin?"
"Selina, I—"
"Miss Hayes, how domineering of you."
Selina’s tone was careless. "If you want something, no one else is allowed to compete for it? And if they do, it means they’ve offended Young Master Luke?"
She then turned toward Luke, feigning concern. "Even though Logan brought Selina here, it doesn’t seem very appropriate, does it, Luke?" freewebnovel.cσ๓
