Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 289

Chapter 289: Telepathy

People around them nodded slightly.

"Yeah... The real Mrs. Clark was killed by the mistress, who just happens to be Angelica’s adoptive mother. What Master Morris said—now that’s a real dagger to the heart."

"Hasn’t the Morris Family always looked down on mistresses? How come this time they’re straight-up siding with one—insulting the real wife and the daughter of the Clark family like that?"

"And they’re saying Selina wronged Angelica? Please. Everyone in City A knows Selina was kicked out of her own home for Angelica and Natalia. The Morris Family must be blind."

For some reason, Joe suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, like something deeply precious was slipping away from him.

Like he’d made some huge, irrational mistake.

Kyle’s rage vanished just as fast.

He stood there, stunned, mumbling to himself, unable to speak.

In that moment, he felt like he’d lost his mind. How could he say something like that?

Even scarier—he’d actually pictured Selina’s dead mom... as his mother.

No. No way.

His mother was the noble Mrs. Morris. She’d passed away years ago but had always held a place in his and his father’s hearts.

Selina’s mother? She died because of a cheating scumbag and a mistress. She was a joke in City A. And she raised someone like Selina—a loud, uncultured country girl.

They couldn’t possibly be the same person...

Angelica noticed the father and son from the Morris Family had spaced out.

She bit her lip. No—this can’t be happening. They can’t find out!

She quickly changed her expression, tearing up.

"Dad, Kyle... it’s my fault. Please don’t blame Selina. The event’s about to start—I’ll head backstage to get ready. I’m sorry. I really am..."

Before she could even finish, Angelica turned and ran off crying.

The Morris men snapped back to reality.

Angelica was their family. There was no need to feel sorry for Selina.

Kyle turned to chase after her.

Joe, however, looked back at Selina, his gaze lingering.

"Miss Selina," he said coldly, "the difference in status between you and Angelica will only grow wider from here on out. I suggest you control yourself. Don’t let jealousy drive you to do something stupid. The Morris Family doesn’t take that lightly." _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}

"The same goes for you, Chairman Morris."

A smooth, deep voice cut through the crowd.

Everyone looked over, eyes lighting up.

"Mr. Reid?!"

"Mr. Reid’s here too!"

"Of course—Selina is Mrs. Reid. No matter how their private life is, the Morris Family blatantly going after her like that? No way Mr. Reid would let that slide."

Joe’s face stiffened.

Logan stood calm and collected. Joe might be older, but Logan’s status was on another level.

"Whatever the Morris Family can offer Angelica, I can give Selina just the same," Logan said coolly. "You told Selina to remember Angelica is the Morris Family’s heiress—I’d like Angelica to remember that Selina is Mrs. Reid."

The message was clear.

Joe’s throat tightened, but in the end, he said nothing. He turned and walked off, face grim.

"Take care, Chairman Morris."

Logan said it casually, then turned to Selina and raised an eyebrow.

"Stunned, huh?"

Selina snapped out of it.

"Why are you here?"

"If I hadn’t shown up, were you planning to just stand there and let them trash you?" Logan said lightly. "Kyle told you to leave. You could’ve told him to get lost instead. This event was funded by Reid Group—if you want the Morris Family out, all you have to do is say the word."

Selina sucked in a breath.

This man really knew how to swoop in like a hero.

But she shook her head.

"Forget it. I don’t want to stir up too much hate by acting too cocky."

"Mrs. Reid, worried about making enemies?" Logan said with a half-smile. "But I’m not exaggerating. What’s mine is yours. You’re the investor behind this event. You absolutely have the right—and the power."

Selina ran that sentence through her mind and came to a conclusion.

"So... I can do whatever I want?"

That’s perfect!

Her eyes visibly lit up, brimming with anticipation.

"Then can I look for someone?"
