Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84: She Is the Owner

Dylan couldn’t understand why he had just been slapped, but seeing his father arrive, he assumed reinforcements had come. He immediately started yelling.

"Dad! You have to stand up for me! Selina set me up!"

Chairman Sanders caught Logan’s gaze and shuddered. Without hesitation, he slapped his son again. "You’ve caused such a mess, and you still want me to back you up?!"

Turning to Selina, he adopted a completely different tone, one of utter deference.

"Miss Clark, I don’t know how my son offended you, but please tell me. I’ll make sure this disobedient fool is taught a proper lesson!"

Dylan stared at his father in disbelief. "Dad, why are you being so polite to this tramp? You even hit me because of her?! Don’t tell me you’re interested in her too!"

Then he turned to Selina, his voice dripping with venom. "Wow, Selina, you’ll climb into anyone’s bed, won’t you? What a shameless—"

"Shut your mouth!" Chairman Sanders nearly fainted from rage. He took a deep breath, then said to Selina in a servile tone, "Miss Clark, please tell me what happened. I’ll make sure my son apologizes to you!"

Selina glanced at Dylan’s furious face and smiled faintly. _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}

"Oh, it’s nothing much," she said lightly. "Your son assumed I couldn’t ride a horse, so he proposed a bet. He staked 5% of Sanders Group’s shares on it. We raced, and he lost."

Chairman Sanders nearly choked. "5% of the shares..."

Dylan, unwilling to back down, interjected, "Dad, it was just a joke! How was I supposed to know this tramp would refuse to let it go and insist I hand over the shares?!"

Chairman Sanders’s face twitched in anger. 5% of the company’s shares? This idiotic son of his! But he couldn’t really let those shares go...

As his mind raced for a solution, he turned to Logan, attempting to diffuse the situation. "Mr. Reid, perhaps we could—"

Logan’s calm smile cut him off. "So, your son plans to renege on his bet? No problem. I recall that Sanders Group has a project in collaboration with us..."

"No, no, no! That won’t do!" Chairman Sanders’s face turned ashen. That collaboration was the lifeline of Sanders Group—a minor brand for Logan, but critical for his family’s survival.

Understanding Logan’s implication instantly, Chairman Sanders spun around and kicked Dylan’s knee, forcing him down. He followed it up with two sharp slaps to Dylan’s face before turning back to Logan, his expression full of panic.

"Mr. Reid, there’s been a misunderstanding! I would never think of going back on my word. I’ll call my lawyer immediately and have 5% of the shares transferred to Miss Clark!"

Dylan knelt before Selina, utterly bewildered. "Dad, what are you saying..."

"Shut your mouth!" Chairman Sanders barked, clearly wishing he could disown his son on the spot. Then he turned back to Selina, his tone ingratiating.

"Miss Clark, my son is foolish and reckless. Please be magnanimous and don’t hold a grudge against our family. From today on, you’ll also be a shareholder in Sanders Group—wouldn’t you agree?"

Selina raised her eyebrows, her gaze flicking toward Logan.

She hadn’t expected him to actually force the Sanders family to hand over the shares.

Caught off guard by the unexpected windfall, Selina gave a casual wave.

"Alright, let’s consider this matter resolved."

Chairman Sanders finally exhaled in relief. But before he could fully relax, he almost choked again.

Dylan was livid, on the verge of losing his mind.

"Dad! Have you lost your mind?! You’re just giving away part of our company to this country bumpkin?! For what?!"

Dylan’s voice rose to a roar. "It was just a small bet! Why are you taking it seriously? She tricked me—otherwise, I never would’ve lost!"

Selina spoke slowly, her tone indifferent. "If Sanders Junior needs to blame his loss on someone else’s cleverness rather than his own poor judgment, there’s really nothing I can do."

Dylan’s face contorted in fury. "You—"

Before he could escalate further, Chairman Sanders roared, "Haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough? Get out of my sight and go home!"

As father and son stormed away, Selina watched their retreating backs, a faint smirk playing on her lips.
