Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220: An Unbreakable Bond

Logan’s gaze was calm and unreadable. "Or do you think I’m incapable of handling something this minor?"

Amanda’s expression froze instantly.

Angelica also understood what Logan meant, and her face darkened.

What he was saying was clear—

Even if Selina had really hired someone to hurt her today, with him around, he could suppress the public opinion. There was no need to lie to prove Selina’s innocence.

Angelica’s expression twisted in disbelief. She had calculated every move—except for Logan’s favoritism!

Why? She was the one who got hurt, who lay in the snow for two hours!

Why was he still siding with Selina?!

She was his "lifesaver," wasn’t she?!

Grinding her teeth, Angelica suddenly put on a gracious face.

"I knew Selina must be innocent. Logan, I’m okay. Let everyone go back and not let this ruin the mood."

Logan glanced at her, tone flat. "I’ll have someone investigate this thoroughly and give you an answer."

Then, he took Selina’s hand and walked out.

The room fell into dead silence. After a long pause, someone finally asked, "So... was Mrs. Reid the one behind it?"

No one dared to answer. No one wanted to cross Logan.

Amanda scoffed, "Who else could it be but Selina? Sure, there’s no proof she did it—but there’s no proof she didn’t. Mr. Reid didn’t even ask—he just walked out with her..."

"Enough, Amanda!"

Angelica cut her off with a solemn tone.

"That’s the end of it. I don’t want to pursue it any further."

She turned to the others with a sorrowful, guilty expression.

"I believe in my sister Selina... But rumors spread so easily. I hope no one talks about what happened today."

She added with a soft, forlorn voice, "It’s understandable that she resents me—after what happened this morning. She’s the legitimate daughter of the Clark Family... If she’s labeled as someone who tried to harm her own sister, it wouldn’t just hurt her—it would hurt the entire family. Please... just forget it happened."

People around her looked uncomfortable—

Was she really going to swallow all this pain just to protect Selina?

She nearly died today and still couldn’t get justice. What kind of world was this?

Amanda sobbed dramatically, "Angelica, are you just going to walk away after nearly dying?!"

Angelica shook her head with quiet grace. "Let it go. And Amanda, don’t bring it up again. If Uncle Clark hears about this and blames Selina, she’ll only resent me more."

Everyone exchanged glances. So that was it... it was over?

But with Mr. Reid shielding Selina like that, Angelica couldn’t keep pushing—it would only backfire, making even her "lifesaver" status meaningless.

Letting it go really was the best move.

Still, poor Angelica...

Lowering her eyes, Angelica subtly signaled the ski instructor with her lips.

...

Meanwhile, Selina looked down at the warm hand holding hers.

"Mr. Reid, do you believe me?"

Logan looked down at her, his tone calm.

"I know my little one. You’re not that kind of person."

Selina’s heart skipped a beat.

She wasn’t afraid of not being able to prove her innocence—just that no one would believe her before the truth came out.
