Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 219

Chapter 219: Covering for Her

Logan gave her a calm glance. "Sure."

Angelica’s expression lit up with excitement. "Then Logan—"

"The claim that the ski instructor tried to assault you is just your side of the story. I won’t jump to conclusions until we find him."

He stepped away from the crowd and took Selina’s hand. "Let’s go."

Amanda called out loudly, "Mr. Reid, wait! It hasn’t been proven that Mrs. Reid isn’t involved—she can’t leave!"

Angelica pretended to restrain her. "Amanda..."

Amanda turned and said firmly, "Angelica, I know you trust Selina, but let’s not forget—there’s a conflict of interest here. You’re both contenders for the Clark Group inheritance. Who’s to say she wouldn’t do something to get rid of you? We shouldn’t assume the worst of others, but we must always be cautious!"

Luke nearly laughed out loud. Angelica being the victim? That was rich. She’d schemed against more people than anyone could count.

Just then, Amanda’s phone rang. She answered it with a self-righteous air and said, "Angelica, the ski instructor has been caught. If Mrs. Reid really ordered this, we’ll know soon enough."

She then looked to Selina. "Mrs. Reid, if you didn’t do this, I’m sure you’d want to stay and clear your name, wouldn’t you?"

The implication was clear: if Selina left now, she was guilty.

Right on cue, the ski instructor’s panicked voice echoed from outside the door.

"Don’t call the cops, please! I didn’t mean to—I was paid a million to humiliate Angelica and film a video. I was just following orders!"

Angelica put on her best picture of noble suffering. "Even if someone paid him, I believe it wasn’t Selina. But since we’re here, let’s bring him in."

Soon, the ski instructor was dragged into the hotel lobby. He dropped to his knees, frantically begging. "Miss Clark, I was wrong. I was forced! That person threatened me. If I didn’t do it, I’d lose my job..."

Angelica said sternly, "You took the money. Spare me the sob story—I’ll see to it that you’re handed over to the police."

"No! Please!"

The instructor panicked even more, eyes darting around the lobby until they landed on Selina like a lifeline. Still on his knees, he scrambled toward her.

"Miss Selina, please save me! My family is struggling—I can’t go to jail! You have to help me! I did everything for you!"

The entire lobby went dead silent.

Someone murmured in disbelief, "Did he just ask Selina for help?"

"He said... he did it all for Selina?"

Selina narrowed her eyes. "Do I even know you?"

The instructor looked utterly shocked. "You don’t know me? But I... I get it now!"

He suddenly wailed louder. "Miss Selina, now that things have gone south, you’re throwing me under the bus? You’re the one who told me to go after Angelica, and now you act like you’ve never met me? How could you be so heartless?!"

Gasps filled the room.

"You... you’re saying it was Selina who hired you?"

Angelica covered her mouth in shock. "No, that can’t be! He must be trying to drag someone else down with him!"

"Angelica, even now you’re still defending Selina? After what he just said?!"
