Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 293

Chapter 293: Brought It on Herself

Selina quickly pressed her finger against Logan’s lips, signaling him to stay quiet, then raised an eyebrow. "Who is it?"

"It’s me, Selina."

Unexpectedly, it was Katie’s voice outside the door.

Selina’s interest was instantly piqued. "Mrs. Bryant is already on the verge of public disgrace, and Mr. Clark still let you tag along to the design competition?"

"You—" Katie’s anger flared, but for Angelica’s sake, she swallowed it back down.

Angelica had said that as long as Katie lured Selina into Ellis’s room today, Selina would become just another man’s plaything—never again able to stir up trouble.

"Selina, how can you say that? I came here for you."

Katie deliberately put on a flustered expression. "I know Ellis falsely accused you two years ago. I found a witness—someone who can prove your innocence. Come with me!"

Selina got it now. This was Angelica’s plan.

Use Katie to lure her out, then toss her into Ellis’s bed.

She didn’t mind playing along with the mother-daughter act. "Oh? Mrs. Bryant believes I’m innocent now?"

"Y-Yes, of course! Selina, I know the kind of person you are. Come on, don’t keep him waiting. This might be your only chance!"

"Hmm... But I’m not sure Mrs. Bryant is so kindhearted. I don’t feel safe going with you. What should I do?"

Katie grew visibly impatient. "Do you even want to clear your name or not? Word is everyone’s out for your blood. They’re demanding you quit the competition. If you don’t prove yourself now, what, you’re actually going to drop out tomorrow?"

"I see..."

Logan watched as Selina pulled a hammer from the drawer and slipped it into her bag. Then she quietly cracked the door open.

"I’ll go with you. But Mrs. Bryant—you have to promise not to try anything."

Katie lit up, grinning like she’d won.

What a joke. Did Selina really buy that promise? This idiot actually believed her!

Katie suppressed her excitement. "Selina, let’s go!"

Selina smirked, patted the bag holding the hammer, and followed her out.

...

Logan’s eyes lowered slightly.

Next to him, Luke was swallowing nervously. "Did you—did you see what she just took?"

A hammer!

Why would she bring a hammer? Killing someone is illegal!

Logan said calmly, "Go find Jack. Tell him to keep an eye on Angelica."

Luke couldn’t help but ask, "What about you?"

Logan’s lips curled into a slow grin. "I’m keeping an eye on my Mrs. Reid."

Luke immediately nodded, still shaken. "Yeah, you better. If Selina accidentally hacks someone up..."

"They all brought this upon themselves. I’m just worried about whether she’ll get hurt."

Logan’s smooth reply left Luke completely speechless.

Someone help him. Is this couple totally insane?

...

Meanwhile.

Selina followed Katie through several turns into the guest room area.

"This far? We’re still not there?"
