Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 183

Chapter 183: The Rift Between Them

On the other side, James nearly lost his balance upon hearing that Reid Group had injected ten billion into Clark Group.

His phone rang nonstop with calls from business partners:

"Mr. Clark, about that deal we discussed earlier—what’s your decision?"

"Mr. Clark, we were blind before. We didn’t realize you had such a strong connection with Mr. Reid. Please, give us another chance!"

"Mr. Clark, congratulations! Once Miss Angelica becomes the lady of Reid Group, we hope you’ll extend a helping hand to us as well."

James could barely contain his excitement—ten billion... Logan really gave ten billion!

He swallowed hard, turning to Angelica. "Angelica, what exactly is your relationship with Mr. Reid?"

Ten billion, just handed over like that—who would have thought Clark Group could rise from the ashes?

Angelica curled her lips into a vague smile, her words deliberately ambiguous, mixing truth with lies. "All these years, the person Mr. Reid has cared about the most is me. What do you think?"

James’s eyes lit up in an instant—he finally knew whose coattails to ride.

"Angelica, I’m holding a press conference immediately. I’ll officially announce that you’re the heir to Clark Group!"

Sapphire Valley Villa.

Selina’s phone had been lying on the floor for a while, but she didn’t move.

She felt a bone-deep chill.

She had worked so hard to crush Clark Group, to push James into a corner until he had no choice but to surrender her mother’s inheritance. But now, Logan had injected ten billion into Clark Group—saving them.

If it had been anyone else, fine. But the person helping Angelica was her own husband.

Ten billion to welcome her back.

Ten billion to pave her way.

Beep, beep, beep...

Her phone suddenly vibrated, pulling her back to reality.

Selina finally bent down and picked it up, seeing Gavin’s name flashing on the screen.

"You saw the trending news?"

Selina numbly nodded. "Yeah."

Gavin was furious. "’Yeah’? That’s all you have to say?! What the hell is going on between Logan and Angelica? Does he even know about the grudge between you two?"

Did he know? Selina wasn’t sure.

Gavin paused for a moment before his voice turned serious. "Luna, be honest—are you falling for Logan?"

Selina was stunned for a second, instinctively denying it. "No!"

"Really? Don’t lie to me."

Gavin continued, "Angelica had powerful backing abroad. We could never figure out who it was, but looking at things now, it was probably Logan all along."

"And by the way, your piece-of-shit dad just announced that Angelica is officially inheriting Clark Group."

Selina lowered her gaze, feeling an empty void inside her. "Oh."

Gavin grew even more furious. "So, Angelica nearly destroyed you once, and now she’s the one getting all the glory. She stole your mother’s company, stole your scholarship, and now she’s after your husband too. And the worst part? The person supporting her the whole way is Logan!"

"Men are all trash."

Selina softly reassured him, "Gavin, don’t be mad. What’s ten billion to Logan? If I divorce him, I’ll get half his assets. Do you think I’d even care about ten billion?"

Gavin scoffed coldly. "Big words. But do it then, instead of running your mouth."

Selina blinked. She wasn’t just talking—she was seriously considering it.

Gavin let out a mocking laugh. "Come stay at my place for a few days. Let Logan stew in his own anxiety. Now go pack your things—I’ll be there soon."

"I—"

Before she could say another word, Gavin had already hung up.

Selina stood still for a moment before quietly turning back toward her bedroom.

Maybe... she really did need to get out for a bit.
