Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 221

Chapter 221: Smeared Online

Logan got in the car as fast as he could, and the vehicle sped off, kicking up snow in its wake.

Selina instinctively took a step forward, wanting to follow, but quickly realized how awkward that would be. Why would she even go after them?

Angelica and Logan had the kind of bond that no one could get between — a life-saving connection between the savior and the protector. Logan kicked over the ski instructor for Angelica, and Angelica got injured to protect him, as if no one else could come between them.

"You saw that, right? Mr. Reid cares most about our Angelica."

Amanda’s voice dripped with sarcasm. "Some people think just because they’re wearing the title of Mrs. Reid, they’ve got his heart. What a joke."

Selina narrowed her eyes. Sure, she’d felt a bit hurt moments ago — but that didn’t mean just anyone got to mock her.

She fired back without hesitation.

"Ms. Amanda, if you were on the brink of death right now, I’m sure Logan would carry you to the car too. Want to try?"

Amanda’s face went stiff. "You—!"

Luke stepped in, clearly fed up.

"Ms. Amanda, are you done? Yesterday you were saying Angelica couldn’t be without you and insisted Selina get off the car. But today Angelica’s suddenly fine to leave without you? I guess Angelica’s condition depends on how many seats are available, huh?"

Luke had been holding in his annoyance for a while.

Yesterday, Amanda claimed only three people could sit in the car, and that she had to stay close to Angelica because of her health — so Selina had to get off.

But today, when the car could only fit two, Amanda said nothing — as if Angelica’s illness had magically vanished overnight.

Amanda snapped, "You all—whatever! I have nothing to say to a murderer! Selina, just wait. Mr. Reid won’t cover for you this time!"

With that, she stormed off with a group of people.

Luke clenched his fists.

"God, she’s so punchable. It’s been a while since I hit someone. Why do fools like her keep showing up—wait, Selina, are you okay?"

Selina stood frozen in the snow, dazed, looking like a lost squirrel. Her eyes were blank, fragile.

Luke was completely freaked out. Was this still the same woman? The confident "fox spirit"? She’d never looked like this before.

"Angelica’s gonna be fine, alright? That knife didn’t even go in that deep. And it’s not your fault the ski coach went nuts. Don’t listen to Amanda — Logan definitely believes in you!"

Selina blinked slowly, coming back to her senses.

Yeah... Logan would believe her.

But deep down, she was sure Angelica planned the whole thing.

Still, Angelica had spent two hours lying in the snow, nearly in shock. And now, she’d gotten stabbed.

Who would believe Angelica risked her own life just to frame someone?

Luke looked around and muttered, "Let’s just head down the mountain. Once Angelica’s at the hospital, we can fly back to City A with Logan."

Selina nodded, expressionless.

...

At the base of the mountain, Logan was still at the hospital, so Luke took the lead and booked a hotel.

Selina dozed off not long after checking in. Hours later, in a half-dreaming state, she heard her phone ringing. She groggily answered, "Hello...?"

A warm male voice came through the line.

"Do you want me to help suppress the online rumors?"

Selina blinked in surprise. "Damien?"
