Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 146

Chapter 146: She Has No Right

Rose grew more and more enthusiastic as she spoke, her voice rising with every word.

"Selina doesn’t even know who Gordon is! Cousin, no matter how kind-hearted you are, you shouldn’t associate with someone like that. A country bumpkin like her? How laughable!"

She deliberately raised her voice, drawing the attention of the surrounding shoppers.

People began to murmur, their expressions full of intrigue and disdain.

—The so-called eldest daughter of the Clark Family doesn’t even know who Gordon is?

—No wonder. A person raised in the countryside can’t just magically transform into high society material.

Bella let Rose finish her insults, then put on a show of false disapproval.

"Rose, that’s enough. If someone overhears, they might think we’re gossiping behind her back. That wouldn’t be very nice..."

"What? Am I wrong? Why shouldn’t I say it?" Rose scoffed.

"Unlike you, Cousin, she has no accomplishments, no noble upbringing. You’re from an esteemed family, highly educated, with a successful career. How can Selina even compare?"

Gordon’s brows furrowed.

Who were these women?

And why were they being so openly hostile toward his Selina?

Not to mention, they spoke about attending his art exhibition as if it were some glorious privilege.

Interesting.

They looked down on Selina?

Fine.

Then they wouldn’t be attending his exhibition—he wouldn’t be welcoming them.

Gordon was just about to step forward when—

The two women spotted Selina first.

"Oh? Selina? What a coincidence! Are you here shopping for clothes?"

Bella put on an expression of surprise, glancing around before feigning confusion.

"Logan isn’t with you? And this gentleman..."

Before she could finish, Rose sneered.

"Oh, Miss Clark. Word is you’re quite the social butterfly—always surrounded by different men. Who’s the lucky one this time?"

Rose had heard that Logan had married a woman named Selina.

How could she accept this? Originally, the Hayes Family and the Reid Family had an engagement, and she had always thought that Logan was her future brother-in-law.

And yet, this title had been stolen by a no-name bumpkin.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Her disdain was unconcealed as she smirked.

"Tsk, tsk. Some people have no taste—they reject Gordon’s art exhibition but have no issue parading around with random men. What can you expect from a countryside girl?"

Gordon’s face darkened.

"Young lady, I advise you not to slander Selina."

Rose let out a sharp laugh.

"Cousin, did I hear that right? This random old man is telling me not to insult Selina? That’s hilarious!"

Bella sighed dramatically.

"Rose, maybe we shouldn’t assume things. What if this gentleman and Selina don’t have that kind of relationship?"

Rose snorted.

"Cousin, you’re too naive. You come from an elite family—you’ve never needed money, never lacked power. You wouldn’t understand how low some people can go just for money."

She sneered.

"Shopping with an old man? Who knows what kind of dirty little deal they have?"

Selina had been in a good mood today.

She hadn’t intended to destroy anyone.

But some people just begged for it.

She folded her arms and tilted her head mockingly.

"You seem awfully familiar with how these ’transactions’ work. Hmm? Speaking from experience?"

"You—!"

Rose’s face flushed crimson, her words stuck in her throat.

Selina brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, smiling.

"Bella, seems like you didn’t learn your lesson last time. Do I need to remind you again?"

Bella’s expression stiffened.

She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Selina had already turned to Gordon and tugged his arm.

"Uncle, let’s go. We’re here to shop, not to waste time on nonsense."

Gordon nodded in approval.

No point ruining their day over a couple of nobodies.

With that, he proceeded to buy Selina over a dozen outfits.

...

Bella sat there seething.

He suddenly had a very bad feeling. _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}
