Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41: Preserving the Evidence

Selina narrowed her eyes, clearly sensing that Mrs. Hayes had no good intentions.

Yet, since the Hayes Family was clearly plotting against her, doing nothing would only make her seem easy to bully.

So, Selina curled her lips into an innocent smile. "Sure."

A flicker of disdain flashed in Mrs. Hayes’s eyes—this Selina really was as foolish as she thought.

Mrs. Hayes led her to the second-floor dressing room. "Selina, feel free to choose from these dresses. Once you’ve picked one, you can get changed and head to makeup."

Selina glanced at the dresses and tilted her head. "Are these all you have? I don’t like any of them. Maybe I’ll just skip it."

With that, she made a move to leave.

Mrs. Hayes’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly pulled Selina back. "Selina! You can’t just skip it!"

Realizing she had overreacted, Mrs. Hayes softened her tone. "Don’t worry, we have plenty more dresses. Just tell me what you like, and I’ll have them brought here for you."

Selina calmly named a few high-end designer brands.

As the list grew, Mrs. Hayes’s expression became increasingly pained, her smile forced, but she still agreed. "Fine, stay here. I’ll have them delivered."

Soon, a man who appeared to be a butler brought over the luxury gowns.

Mrs. Hayes gritted her teeth. "Selina, each of these dresses costs over a million. Surely these will meet your standards?"

Selina raised her eyebrows. "Oh, they’ll do. Thank you, Mrs. Hayes. You may leave now—I need to get changed."

Mrs. Hayes’s heart ached as if she were being stabbed. She took a deep breath, glaring at Selina before leaving.

Good thing that woman would be ruined soon! Losing a few dresses didn’t matter.

Once Mrs. Hayes was gone, Selina locked the door and began inspecting the dresses one by one.

To her surprise, they were all brand new, tags still intact, with no signs of tampering.

No, if Mrs. Hayes had sent her here to change, there had to be a trap.

Suddenly, Selina looked up at the ceiling.

The dresses might be fine, but the problem was likely the room itself.

She guessed there was a hidden camera somewhere, ready to record her changing.

Selina moved to a corner, fiddling with something until she removed a tiny pinhole camera.

Thinking quickly, she called Jack. "Assistant Cole, could you send me another dress and find me an empty lounge?"

...

Ten minutes later, Selina changed into a new dress in the lounge and prepared to confront Mrs. Hayes, camera in hand.

Pushing open the door to the makeup room, she found Rachel pouring something into a bottle of foundation.

Rachel froze, caught off guard by Selina’s sudden entrance.

Selina narrowed her eyes. "Miss Hayes, what are you adding to the foundation?"

Rachel tensed. "I didn’t touch the foundation! You’re seeing things!"

Selina raised an eyebrow, casually pulling out her phone to start recording.

"Let me guess... You’re adding a corrosive agent to ruin my face, right?"

Panic flashed across Rachel’s face, and her voice rose. "You’re lying! Selina, how dare you accuse me!"

Of course, she had added a corrosive agent. It would disfigure Selina’s face—payback for stealing Logan away.

If anything, Rachel thought she was being merciful. But no matter what, she couldn’t admit it. As long as she denied everything, what could Selina possibly do?

Selina smirked, understanding Rachel’s thought process. She let out a soft laugh.

"Miss Hayes, denial is fine. It doesn’t matter anyway. I already dismantled the hidden camera you set up in the dressing room. If I expose it, it won’t just ruin you—it’ll drag the entire Hayes Family down with you.

"So whether or not you admit to tampering with the liquid foundation doesn’t really matter.
