Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278: Luke’s Bold Declaration

Of course Joe picked up on it, and in that moment, he felt both heartbroken and furious.

"Selina, I know Angelica used to be the Clark Family’s adopted daughter and you never liked her. I let that slide. But now, she’s the Morris Family’s heiress. If you’re still trying to bully her, you better think twice!"

Then he turned to Angelica. "Angelica, you don’t have to be so soft. Why should you give in just because Selina wants something?!"

Angelica looked like she was trying to explain, but she was really fanning the flames. "Dad, that’s not it. Selina said the rings represent pure, untainted love, and that a mistress doesn’t deserve them... so I..."

Luke was stunned. He’d never seen someone twist the truth like this.

Sure enough, Joe lost it. "What nonsense! Selina, if you want to take Angelica’s rings, you better pray you’re lucky enough to pull it off. I was trying to keep the peace, but you’ve gone too far!"

Selina raised an eyebrow. Angelica was good—just a few words and the blame landed squarely on her. And Joe actually believed it.

She was about to speak when someone stepped in front of her.

Logan’s expression was cool. "Chairman Morris, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Joe’s tone was firm. "Return the rings and apologize to Angelica. That’s all I’m asking. If Selina won’t do it, the Morris Family won’t let this go!"

Logan paused for a moment and let out a short laugh.

"Angelica, are you absolutely sure I gave you these two rings?"

Angelica flinched, biting her lip.

Of course not. But under the circumstances, she couldn’t admit it.

With the Morris Family backing her, even if Logan denied it, Joe would just think he was siding with Selina on purpose.

With that in mind, Angelica felt emboldened. She put on a pitiful look, eyes brimming with tears.

"Logan... I didn’t mean to fight with Selina. You gave me the rings, but when Selina got upset, you took them back. I didn’t even say anything. It was my fault earlier. Please don’t be mad."

Joe couldn’t stand seeing his daughter grovel like that. "Logan, you—"

"Chairman Morris, that’s your third wrong guess." Logan calmly cut him off. There was no emotion in his voice, but what he said stunned everyone.

"I’m no expert, but I designed both pairs of rings myself."

"From the pattern to the style—every detail came from me. I poured an incredible amount of effort into these rings... Mrs. Reid is standing right here. On what basis do you think they were made for Angelica?"

Jack stepped forward and showed the design sketches.

There were ten designs in total. Selina had only picked two, but the remaining eight were just as distinctive, clearly from the same creator.

The sketches even included notes: Selina likes stars. Selina likes snowflakes. Selina likes the color blue.

Every part of the design was tailored to Selina’s tastes. What did that have to do with Angelica?

Anyone with eyes could see these rings were a gift from Mr. Reid to Mrs. Reid.

The truth hit like a slap in the face. Joe stared at Angelica, stunned. "This... this..."

Luke immediately laid it on thick, voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Chairman Morris, how about this—you claim Logan’s got dementia and can’t tell the difference between the names Selina and Angelica."

"Just say the sketches were actually meant for Angelica, but he accidentally wrote the wrong name."

"Because otherwise, I can’t figure it out. Why would the Morris Family’s heiress be so desperate to steal someone else’s wedding ring? At this point, even my mom would salute a mistress that bold!"
