Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254: No One Can Take Him from Me

The entire courtyard fell into a deathly silence.

Logan’s eyes were cold and sharp as blades, sweeping over the crowd without the slightest trace of emotion.

The lead maid trembled all over. She hadn’t expected Logan to return at this moment. Her legs went weak with fear. "M-Mr. Reid..."

Logan’s voice was low and dangerous as he asked coldly, word by word, "You wanted Mrs. Reid to kneel to you?"

"N-No!"

The maid’s earlier arrogance was completely gone. Her face turned pale as she stumbled to explain.

"It’s not what it looks like. Mrs. Reid suddenly hit me, and I—I lost my temper and said something I shouldn’t have..."

Selina was stunned. A grown woman still trying to play the innocent victim? Twisting the truth like that?

Logan raised an eyebrow. "Selina hit you?"

The maid thought she saw a way out and quickly leaned into the act, speaking as if she were being generous and forgiving—but clearly hoping to stir things up.

"She did. You can see the mark on my face. I know I’m just a servant. If she wants to hit me, it’s only fair. I don’t blame her, really, I—"

"Have you hit her enough?" Logan interrupted, his tone detached as he turned to ask.

The maid’s words got stuck in her throat. She couldn’t speak.

Selina blinked. Wait a second—was he talking to her?

Logan didn’t seem to think there was anything strange about what he’d said. He added lazily, "If not, go ahead."

...Go ahead?

Selina was sure now—he was talking to her!

"Logan, what if I hit her too hard and kill her?" _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

Logan gave her a meaningful look. "If you kill her, I’ll take responsibility. Go on."

The maid was instantly gripped by fear. She staggered back in panic.

"N-No, Mr. Reid, she insulted me first! And she even insulted Madam Reid! I only brought up Miss Angelica. She’s the one who—"

"Logan, let it go," Selina said sweetly, suddenly throwing herself into his arms like a delicate damsel. "This lady was sent by Madam Amelia, right? She’s probably here to take care of the new madam. I’m just the sad little wife about to be thrown out—how could I say anything?"

Logan narrowed his eyes. "New madam?"

The maid felt a sudden wave of dread, but it was too late to stop anything. Selina sniffled.

"Yeah, everyone’s saying you have a fiancée, that I stole someone else’s husband and should hurry up and get lost. Logan, make them stop. I’m fragile. What if one day..."

The maid snorted silently. This pathetic act again? Trying to win pity by pretending to be on the verge of suicide? Please. Mr. Reid wasn’t the kind of man who’d fall for a weak woman’s games.

"...What if one day I snap and end up cutting all their tongues out?"

...

The air froze for a solid minute.

Jack twitched. Cutting tongues out? And she was claiming to be "too afraid to speak up"?

Logan’s lips curved into a slow smile. He glanced at her, then lazily ordered, "If they like to talk behind people’s backs, cut their tongues out."

The maids instantly dropped to their knees with a thud, any shred of hope gone.

They all knew Logan’s methods. Anyone who crossed him never ended well.

"Mr. Reid! We were wrong! We shouldn’t have gossiped about Mrs. Reid, please forgive us!"

"Mrs. Reid, please! Be merciful—we’ll slap ourselves right now!"

Soon, the crisp sound of slaps echoed through the courtyard.

Selina almost choked—no wonder people said Logan was ruthless like a grim reaper. These people were terrified.
