Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 210

Chapter 210: Logan Broke His Promise

The next morning, just as Selina woke up, she received a message from Luke saying that Logan was already at the base of the mountain and would be arriving shortly.

She quickly got up to wash and dress, stealing a glance at the see-through bathroom and swallowing hard.

No, she had to stop overthinking this!

Downstairs, Luke was already grinning and waggling his eyebrows at her from afar.

"Well? How was the room? Satisfied?"

Selina coughed twice. "..."

Luke’s smirk deepened. "It’s super private, no one will disturb you. Even the courtyard is perfect for some... quality time—"

"Wow, is that Mr. Reid’s car?" someone suddenly shouted, cutting Luke off.

Luke turned excitedly. "That’s Logan’s car! Selina, come on, let’s—"

Before he could finish, a female voice shrieked from the crowd, "Look! There’s a woman in Mr. Reid’s car!"

"What? Let me see—wait, isn’t that Angelica?!"

Selina’s head snapped around. Angelica?!

"Oh my god, Mr. Reid and Clark Miss look so perfect together. Isn’t it obvious they’re meant to be?"

"They are! A lifesaver and the grateful protector—it’s the perfect ship!"

Luke’s brows furrowed. What the hell? Selina was standing right there, and these people had the nerve to talk about Logan and another woman like that?

Before he could say anything, someone murmured, "Uh... White Miss, Mr. Reid is married."

But Miss White clearly didn’t care. She scoffed and said boldly:

"So what? I heard it was Grandma Perry who pressured him into that marriage. Mr. Reid probably just picked some random woman—there’s no way he actually likes that Mrs. Reid."

"But Clark Miss is different. I heard that four years ago, when Angelica went abroad, it was Mr. Reid who quietly supported her. You think she could’ve made it this far in the entertainment industry without someone powerful backing her?"

Gasps rippled through the crowd.

"Wait, you think Mr. Reid is her backstage support?"

Miss White nodded smugly. "Of course. Everyone in the industry knows Clark Miss is the real future Mrs. Reid. No one dares cross her. Look, Luke invited a few friends to celebrate his ski resort opening, and they brought family—but Mr. Reid brought Clark Miss instead of his wife. What does that tell you?"

Luke clenched his fists. What the hell was Logan thinking bringing Angelica?!

Miss White kept on rambling. "If you ask me, Clark Miss is the one Mr. Reid truly wants. As for that wife back home—divorce is just a matter of time—ah!"

A splash of water hit Miss White square in the face.

She screamed in outrage. "Are you insane?! What the hell is your problem?!"

Selina calmly lowered her hand. "Cursing me to get divorced—would you say that might be a problem?"

Miss White snapped, "I wasn’t cursing you, I was talking about that useless Mrs. Reid—some cheap little—"

"Oh? Is this the kind of upbringing the White Family teaches?"

A smooth, elegant voice cut through from not far off.

Jacob strolled over in a light windbreaker, smiling gently. "Miss Clark, we meet again."

Selina pressed her lips together. Why was Jacob here too?

Miss White stiffened, still looking defiant, but her friend urgently pulled her arm.

"Stop! Luke and Carter Young Master are here—and I think this lady is the actual Mrs. Reid."

Miss White’s face twisted, and after a pause, she sneered, "Ugh, so what if she’s Mrs. Reid? Let’s go."

Luke was fuming. "What the hell is wrong with these people? Gossiping behind someone’s back like it’s a sport. White Family, huh? I’m kicking every last one of them out!"

Jacob, however, remained composed, his smile mild.

"If you drive them out, it’ll only leave more to gossip about. Why not just give Mr. White a gentle warning and remind him to keep his daughter in check?"

He turned to Selina with a polite smile. "What do you think, Miss Clark?"
