Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253: A Betrothal Made in Childhood

Chairman Morris had a late wife and a daughter who had been lost for years—this wasn’t a secret. Logan had heard whispers of it too.

But the Morris heiress turned out to be Angelica?

"Sir, a call from Chairman Morris," Jack said, handing him the phone.

Logan narrowed his eyes. He paused before answering.

"Mr. Reid," Joe Morris’s calm and refined voice came through the line. "I wonder if you still remember the jade pendant in your possession? That was the token of our agreement back in the day between you and the Morris Family."

Logan’s gaze darkened immediately.

Joe continued, "There’s an antique exhibition tomorrow. I hope you’ll attend. We have much to discuss."

...

Sapphire Valley Villa.

Angelica was dominating the trending list. Nearly the entire Twitter feed had been flooded with her name.

Already a popular celebrity, now with the added identity of a top-tier heiress, Angelica had instantly become the envy of the nation.

Selina stared at the comments blankly:

[Can I just say, Angelica is literally a runaway heiress. No cap.]

[Thought she was just the adopted daughter of the Clarks—turns out she’s the legit heiress of the Morris Family?!]

[Selina must be so embarrassed now. She thought Angelica was a nobody. Turns out she’s the real-deal princess.]

[Katie said she found Angelica abandoned, and took her in out of kindness.]

[Mrs. Bryant must be an angel.]

Selina narrowed her eyes and dial a number. "Run a background check on Angelica."

Katie wasn’t exactly the charitable type. Would someone like her really raise another woman’s daughter out of kindness?

Before she could think further, her phone rang. Selina glanced at the caller ID—and raised a brow.

Speak of the devil. Angelica.

"Little sister," Angelica said sweetly, "I just wanted to apologize for everything I did to you in the past."

She let out a dramatic sigh. "Back then, I thought we were rivals—both going after Clark Group. That’s why I... well, sent someone after you. But surely, you won’t hold that against me, will you?"

"But now things are different. I’m part of the Morris Family. I’ve got a stake in Morris Group. Clark Group? It’s too small for me. You can have it."

Selina’s tone turned dry. "I’d suggest a neurology check. You’re not just ugly—you’re delusional too."

Angelica gritted her teeth but quickly shifted gears again, smugness returning to her voice.

"Selina dear, there’s an antique gala tomorrow night. Chairman Morris—oh sorry, my father—is gifting me a rare piece so I can show it off in front of all the big names. You’ll be there, right?"

"It’s a rare opportunity. And since you’re still technically my sister, I thought I’d extend the invite. Maybe you’ll meet someone else worth marrying. You know, for when Logan eventually dumps you."

Selina smiled coldly. "Yeah, you’re right. This kind of chance doesn’t come often. But you should keep it for yourself."

"After all, if Chairman Morris ever finds out you’re not actually his daughter and kicks you out, you’ll need a backup plan."

"You—" Angelica’s voice faltered, panic rising. "Selina, don’t push it. There’s a secret about Victoria being revealed at the gala. I’m warning you."

Click. She hung up.

Selina sat still, her gaze sharp.

A secret about Mom?

Then no matter what, she had to go.

...

Selina glanced at the woman, confirming she’d never seen her before. She let out a cold laugh. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}
