Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 286

Chapter 286: An Amateur Challenges the Pros

Logan raised an eyebrow—he hadn’t expected Hunter to ask that.

Hunter... interested in Selina?

"I’m just curious, that’s all. It’s the first time I’ve seen you go out of your way to protect someone."

Hunter knew it wasn’t that he liked Selina. It was just that, the moment he saw her, she felt strangely... familiar.

Yeah. Familiar.

But he was sure they’d never met before. He had no idea where that feeling came from.

"You looking for me for something?" Logan asked.

Hunter snapped out of his thoughts. "I’ll probably be leaving the Nelson Family soon. It’s a mess, and once I’m gone, Riley might not be able to hold her ground."

Logan raised his brow again. "You want me to back Riley?"

With Logan’s support, Riley would easily become the rightful heir of the Nelson Family.

Hunter was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "...Riley’s not cut out for business. We’ll deal with that later. I actually came to tell you—there’s been a lead on that thing."

Logan’s gaze darkened slightly.

At the event venue.

Selina found the City A University booth. The place was packed with students and rising celebrities. As soon as she sat down, compliments started coming her way.

"Selina, you look amazing today! Where’d you get that outfit?"

"Yeah, that dress fits you perfectly—it totally suits your vibe. You’ve got great taste."

Selina blinked. Where was the dress from?

She honestly didn’t know—it was a gift from Logan. "I’m not sure. If you guys want, I can find out for you..."

"What kind of taste do you guys even have? You seriously like that? Don’t tell me you want to buy the same one."

A sharp, mocking voice cut in before she could finish.

Several students turned to look.

A small crowd of influencers and students surrounded a woman strutting over. When she spotted Selina, her face twisted slightly before breaking into a sneer.

"Dingy little dress with no brand? Probably some flea market junk. Wow... you students really have no eye. With taste like that, you think you belong in a design competition?"

A few students turned red with embarrassment. "You’re talking nonsense, we—"

"Hey, do you even know who you’re talking to?" one of the woman’s sidekicks snapped. "This is Miss Zara—Angelica from the Morris Family’s friend. And you broke college kids think you have a say?"

Zara pretended to be generous. "Forget it. I already said they’ve got no taste. No point arguing."

Selina suddenly smiled.

Zara—Angelica’s loyal lapdog. She’d been a pain in the ass for years.

Selina glanced at the event livestream crew nearby, tilted her head with a sweet smile. "Miss Brooks, you don’t like my dress?"

Angelica was the center of attention at the event, and since Zara was her friend, people were quick to cozy up to her.

Naturally, Zara’s arrival pulled the crowd in.

And the livestream started gaining viewers.

Zara let out a snort. "Selina, just look at yourself—poor and pathetic. Look at what everyone else is wearing. At the very least, they’ve got gowns on. And you? A dull, ugly little dress. You clearly don’t respect the event."
