Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 242

Chapter 242: Plain for All to See

Laughter quickly erupted around them as others joined in mockingly:

"Mr. Reid, even we couldn’t stand it—Selina really knows how to brag."

"Exactly. She even had the nerve to claim the island was hers. You can’t let her get away with that!"

Angelica could hardly contain her excitement. She was just waiting for Logan to personally shut Selina down and humiliate her.

But Logan didn’t even glance at Angelica. Instead, he met Selina’s eyes—then casually asked:

"Mr. Clark, those gifts I sent... who did you give them to?"

James hurried forward, bowing respectfully, "Of course I gave them to Angelica! Don’t worry, Mr. Reid—there’s no way Selina could take what was meant for Angelica!"

Logan’s tone was lazy, almost indifferent—but somehow terrifying:

"And who exactly told you...those gifts were for Angelica?"

Wait—what?

If they weren’t for Angelica... then who else could they be for?

A thought began to slowly creep into everyone’s minds—

No. No way. Selina? Mr. Reid giving gifts to her?

Angelica’s face turned ashen. Her legs wobbled—she could barely stay upright.

James visibly panicked. "Mr. Reid... what are you saying? What does that mean?"

Confusion rippled through the crowd.

Luke let out a sarcastic laugh, "Oh, what’s so hard to understand? It means the gifts were for Selina. Huh, I always thought it was just evil stepmothers... didn’t realize real dads could be just as cruel. Didn’t even ask—just handed over his own daughter’s gifts to the stepdaughter."

Boom. The room exploded.

The gifts were for Selina?!

How was that possible?!

What kind of relationship did Logan and Selina have—for him to give her gifts on Angelica’s birthday?

James was now fully spiraling.

"No, no—Mr. Reid, I must’ve made a mistake! It has nothing to do with Angelica! I get it now—those earlier gifts were for Selina, and the island is for Angelica, right? Right?"

Yes—that had to be it!

Others started nodding too, trying to rationalize it.

"Well, she is a stepdaughter... if Mr. Reid only gave Angelica gifts, people would say he was playing favorites. Maybe he just gave Selina something small to keep the peace."

"Yeah, makes sense. Mr. Reid still clearly favors Angelica..."

Logan raised a brow, his gaze cool and unreadable.

"The island?"

He turned slightly.

"Jack."

Jack stepped forward and presented a document.

"This island was fully purchased by Mr. Reid under his own name. And now, as a gift, he’s officially transferring ownership to—"

He paused deliberately. Angelica, eyes gleaming, stepped forward, ready to accept it.

But Jack’s next words cut the air like a knife.

"—transferring full ownership to Miss Selina. Miss Selina, please come sign."

Transferring... to Selina?!

Angelica froze mid-step, her hand still hanging in the air. Her face went deathly pale.

Selina’s eyes sparkled with amusement. She walked forward with an easy smile, signing her name with a flourish.

"I remember someone just now saying this island was a gift for Angelica."
