Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218: A Sinister Plan in Motion

Logan carried Angelica out of the snow pit, and a crowd immediately swarmed around them.

Selina was pushed so far back, she couldn’t even get close.

Angelica’s agent put on an overly dramatic act. "Thank heavens, thank the heavens! Angelica’s safe now—Mr. Reid, I just knew you’d be her lucky star!"

Logan’s voice was cool and distant: "The car’s here. Take her back to the hotel."

The agent’s eyes flickered as she prepared to help Angelica into the car—only for Angelica to suddenly cling tightly to Logan’s wrist, refusing to let go.

The agent sighed dramatically. "Ah... Mr. Reid, she must be clinging to you because you just saved her. She’s very dependent on you. Maybe... maybe you should ride back with her?"

Everyone looked at Logan expectantly. _{freёwebnovel.com}

Of course, it wasn’t impossible.

But just as Logan was about to suggest Selina ride with him too, the agent added with faux regret, "But this car only seats three people, plus the driver. Mr. Reid and Angelica obviously need to go. And Angelica can’t do without me—I have to go, too. That leaves no space for Mrs. Reid..."

She paused, then said sorrowfully, "Forget it. I’ll give up my seat. Mr. Reid, you take Angelica back first."

Right after she spoke, Angelica twitched slightly.

The agent quickly moved forward with medication in hand. "I’ve always seen Angelica as my own child. Her health is fragile, and she has episodes now and then. I carry her medicine with me. If something happens during the ride back..."

She looked toward Selina, eyes gleaming with implication.

"But since Mrs. Reid came here with Mr. Reid, how could I bear to separate husband and wife? It’s fine. I’ll believe Angelica’s got the luck of the simple-hearted."

The doctor nearby frowned. "Please don’t joke about a patient’s health. Agent, you’d better get in the car, too."

the agent immediately waved her hands. "But how could I? If I get in the car, what about Mrs. Reid?"

The doctor looked displeased. "We’re talking about someone’s life here. Mrs. Reid can’t just ignore that. It would be too selfish."

The agent put on her best troubled face. "But... but Angelica kept saying... Miss Selina, what do you think?"

Everyone turned to look at Selina.

If Selina still didn’t see through this act, she’d have to be a fool.

One round of emotional blackmail wasn’t enough—Angelica and her agent were trying it again.

Angelica was "unconscious," "dependent" on Logan and her agent, and the car "only had three seats."

So in the name of saving a life, even a wife was supposed to step aside. Jealousy? That could wait.

Logan narrowed his eyes—he saw right through the agent’s ploy. Just as he was about to pry Angelica’s hand off, Selina let out a cold laugh, turned, and walked straight out of the crowd.

Everyone looked at each other, unsure how to react.

"Mrs. Reid just left?"

"Is she mad?"

"She’s really being petty. Angelica’s her sister. Her life’s on the line—can’t she step aside just this once?"

"Then again... Angelica did try to set her up earlier. But still, as the doctor said, what’s a little jealousy in the face of someone’s life?"

Logan’s expression darkened. He gave Luke a look.

Luke’s face twisted. Angelica and her agent were really shameless.

But in this moment, if Logan did abandon Angelica to chase after Selina, public opinion would spiral fast. Soon, people would be saying Selina was jealous enough to ignore her own sister’s life.
