Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27: The Overconfident Cousin

Selina’s expression stiffened.

Sensing that Logan was testing her, she immediately blinked and shyly lowered her head.

"Mr. Reid, what are you talking about? Do you really think I’m such a petty person?" she said softly.

"Emily wanted to hit me, so I had White handle her. Of course, I’m already satisfied with that."

Logan ignored her words.

If he hadn’t arrived just in time, Mrs. Reid would have likely taken matters into her own hands for revenge.

At that moment, Butler Miller hurried over, anxiously explaining, "Sir, Madam wanted to design a small garden here. It was my fault for allowing Mrs. White and her daughter to exploit the opportunity. Madam, I’m sorry you had to endure this."

Selina waved her hand modestly. "Thank you, Butler Miller. Fortunately, Mr. Reid came in time. I’m fine."

Logan’s gaze flickered, and he chuckled lightly.

Endure hardship? Butler Miller was overthinking it.

Selina would never endure hardship—not her.

Once Selina returned to her room, Butler Miller immediately reported, "Sir, Katie’s niece, Avery Bryant, has arrived in City A. Shall we proceed with your plan?"

Logan replied coldly, "Execute it."

"Yes, sir."

...

The next morning, Selina had just woken up when her phone rang.

"Selina, I’m in City A! Come shopping with me!"

Selina held the phone at arm’s length and raised an eyebrow at the caller ID.

The caller was Katie’s niece, Avery, who had once stayed with the Clark family for a short time. During that period, Avery had completely acted as if she were the true heiress of the Clark family, disregarding Selina entirely.

Out of respect for her grandfather, Selina had entertained Avery a few times. But Avery had taken advantage of her hospitality, treating her as a pushover.

And now, she was back?

Selina’s eyes gleamed with intrigue. Avery probably thought she was still the same naïve, soft-hearted girl to be manipulated.

With that thought, Selina headed to her walk-in closet and chose outfits Logan had prepared for her.

Every piece was a limited-edition luxury item, nearly impossible to acquire. She picked out a few dazzling accessories and carried an expensive handbag.

Logan was in the living room, reviewing documents on the couch. When he saw her dressed up, his brows lifted slightly.

After Selina left, the man’s smile deepened as he spoke softly, "Looks like it’s Avery who invited her."

Jack, hearing that tone, knew trouble was brewing and shuddered.

"Sir, if you want to stand up for Madam, you could just destroy the Clark family outright. Why go through all this trouble?"

Logan replied indifferently, "Because my wife’s hands must stay clean. No gossip, no complications. As for the Clark family? Let them tear each other apart."

...

An hour later, outside the mall.

Avery, already impatient, wore a dark expression.

Selina had said she was on her way, yet Avery had been waiting here for ages. Was this deliberate?

A Clark family daughter who wasn’t even favored, treated worse than herself—where did she get the audacity to dawdle?
