Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 298

Chapter 298: Do You Have Proof?

That "you’re just being a good daughter" line? It was a slap right across Angelica’s face.

Luke leaned in next to Joe, voice dripping with sarcasm, "Chairman Morris, impressive. You’ve raised a great daughter. To cover for her adoptive mom, she tries to frame her own sister. Who knows—maybe if you ever get into trouble, Angelica will pin it on someone else for you too."

Everyone instinctively took a step back from Joe.

After all, with a daughter like Angelica, any one of them could be the next ’sacrifice’ for her idea of filial piety.

Joe’s expression darkened.

Selina, meanwhile, looked thoughtful. "I can understand why Angelica would do that, but what I can’t understand is my dad and my grandpa."

"If Angelica wants to protect Katie and throw me under the bus, fine. But why are you all helping cover it up too? I’m your biological daughter. Am I worth less than some cheating mistress?"

Grandpa Clark’s face turned red, then pale. He caught the guilty look in Angelica’s eyes—and finally realized what had happened.

He just didn’t want to believe it.

Others were starting to put the pieces together too.

"So this whole ’catching them in the act’ thing... Angelica planned it?"

"She spread rumors online first, then brought everyone here to watch the drama unfold—only for it to backfire. The woman in Ellis’s bed wasn’t Selina. It was Katie!"

"Wow... The Clark family is really something. Supporting the mistress is one thing—but throwing their own daughter under the bus to help her? That’s disgusting."

Grandpa Clark’s face went even darker.

Meanwhile, Katie was still moaning on the bed, completely lost in the moment.

James looked like he wanted to die. "Get her off him!" he barked.

Angelica panicked and rushed over to Katie, pushing her urgently. "Mom!"

Katie froze at the sound of the shout, and slowly started to come to her senses.

She opened her eyes—and saw a crowd gathered around the bed. Cameras. Reporters.

What... what the hell is going on...?

"AHHH!!" Katie screamed as last night’s memories came rushing back. Her face collapsed in horror as she looked up—straight into Selina’s eyes.

It was over. Totally, completely over.

She’d been set up by Selina, ended up in Ellis’s bed, and got caught in the act. There was no explaining her way out of this.

That bitch. That bitch!

Katie lost it and started screaming, "Selina! You set me up! You set me up!"

"How could you do this to me?! I’m your stepmother! Even if you hate me, you should care about the Clark family’s reputation! I’ve brought shame to the family—I might as well die!"

She lunged toward the wall as if to bash her head against it, and Angelica screamed, crying, "Mom! Don’t! Please don’t do this!"

"Selina humiliated me in front of everyone—how am I supposed to keep living..."

Angelica sobbed, "Selina, you went too far! If Mom did something wrong, say it! Why would you trap her like this with such cheap, disgusting tricks..."

For a moment, everyone exchanged uncertain glances. Katie’s breakdown seemed... pretty real.

Logan narrowed his eyes.

Selina calmly watched Katie’s hysterics for a while, then asked lightly, "You done performing?"

The room fell quiet. Katie’s face stiffened. "Selina... what do you mean, performing..."

"You didn’t ask any questions. You didn’t even try to understand what happened. First thing out of your mouth was that I framed you." Selina gave a half-smile. "So go ahead. What exactly did I ’frame’ you for?"

People around them nodded. Katie woke up and instantly teamed up with Angelica, but what did any of this actually have to do with Selina?
