Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239: A Thief in Another’s Nest

At noon, Selina finally woke up slowly.

Her whole body ached. She tried to get up—only to collapse back into the bed, completely drained of energy.

..."Collecting a little interest," huh?

Logan definitely collected way too much.

She sat on the bed, furious but helpless. After nearly half an hour of recovery, she finally managed to drag herself up and go wash up.

The birthday banquet was scheduled for the afternoon. As she walked a few steps, she realized she’d already been medicated down there. Her face turned bright red instantly, her expression indescribable—somewhere between embarrassment and murder.

How dare he! Logan was out of control! She was never letting him touch her again!

"Ma’am, lunch is ready. Would you like to eat now or later?"

Selina thought about having to head to the Clark Family estate soon. "Now."

At 1 p.m., she got in the car and headed for the Clark Family.

Outside the estate, a crowd had already gathered. Let’s be honest—on their own, the Clark Family couldn’t attract this kind of elite turnout. Most people showed up purely because Logan Reid was rumored to be attending.

The fireworks and drone show from the night before had already gone viral. Angelica’s fans were losing their minds:

[Who still thinks Angelica and Mr. Reid are just "friends"? Would a friend go all out like this for your birthday?]

[He said, "Every birthday from now on, I’ll be with you"—hello?! That’s husband material!]

[Praying for Mr. Reid and Angelica to get married soon!]

Some people were skeptical though:

[Are we sure that whole thing was for Angelica?]

[29th December, last name Clark, extravagant celebration—who else but Angelica? It can’t be Selina, right?]

[Definitely Angelica. Don’t overthink it. She didn’t deny it, did she?]

At the party—

Guests were buzzing.

"Did you see the drone and fireworks show last night? I was blown away. Mr. Reid is so romantic!"

"He’s coming to the birthday banquet today too. It’s gotta be getting serious between them, right?"

"Honestly, who else but Mrs. Reid would deserve that kind of effort from him?"

As Selina walked up to the estate, she spotted a group of fans holding banners and bouquets for Angelica.

Inside, Angelica stood in the center like the star of the show, surrounded by admirers.

"Angelica, was that insane drone and fireworks display planned with you in advance?"

Angelica gave a shy, modest smile. "Not exactly... Logan did mention something, but I didn’t realize what he meant. He said he’d surprise me on my birthday."

"Oh my god, I’m so jealous! That’s the kind of surprise dreams are made of. He treats you so well!"

"Angelica, when you become Mrs. Reid, don’t forget about us!"

Wearing a high-end designer gown, Angelica smiled sweetly, her eyes gleaming with vanity and greed.

Even she hadn’t expected Logan’s "surprise" to be this grand and this sudden.

An hour-long fireworks and drone show. Digital birthday messages plastered all over the city.

Her Twitter followers had jumped by over two million overnight. Luxury brands were lining up to work with her. Even the rich girls who used to mock her for being a "stepdaughter" were now falling over themselves to suck up.

Spotting Selina on the edge of the crowd, Angelica’s eyes flashed. She called out sweetly,

"Selina! You’re here. Did you see the fireworks last night? Sorry... Logan only planned it for me. You’re not upset, are you?"

Selina glanced at her with zero emotion.

"Why would I be upset?"

Angelica was convinced she was upset.

After all, her husband skipped celebrating her birthday... to throw a lavish celebration for another woman. Who wouldn’t be furious?

Selina was clearly just pretending to be calm.

Thinking of this, Angelica waved off the people around her, her tone turning smug.

"Selina, Logan lit fireworks for me that lasted forever, sent up hundreds of drones. No one in all of City A has ever had that kind of treatment. He clearly adores me. You’re really not jealous?"

"I mean... it’s your birthday too, and no one remembered. I honestly feel bad for you."
