Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 302

Chapter 302: Betrayed by Blood

Selina said casually, "As long as you step up and plead for Katie, I’ll let her go—no strings attached. Isn’t that kind of me?"

A spark of hope lit up in Katie’s eyes.

"Angelica..."

Angelica bit her lip hard. She didn’t believe for a second that Selina was being generous.

"What’s wrong, Angelica? Don’t want to save her?"

Selina blinked innocently, then leaned in and whispered:

"Other people might not know, but I do. Katie’s probably your real mother, right? I don’t know how you weaseled your way into the Morris family, but one thing’s clear—Katie shares your blood. And now you’re just going to give up on her? Can you really live with that?"

Angelica’s head snapped up, her face going white.

Wait—did Selina know?

Did she know that secret?

No. No way. The title of Morris family heiress could only belong to her.

She couldn’t let Selina ruin it.

Selina raised an eyebrow in surprise. She had only been speculating, but Angelica’s reaction...

Had she actually guessed right?

Angelica quickly covered, "I am part of the Morris family. But Mom raised me. I owe her for that."

Selina didn’t press the point.

"You’re right, Angelica. And if she raised you, then you owe her even more. So how can you turn your back on her now? Just say the word, and I’ll let Katie go."

"Sure, the Clark family might want nothing to do with her—but you’re the Morris family heiress. You can take her in. No one will stop you. Isn’t that right?"

Katie was tempted.

She didn’t have the time—or the clarity—to think through Selina’s trap.

She cried out, begging, "Angelica! Please, please help me! I’m your mom—I can’t go to prison! You’re the only one who can save me! I did it all for you!"

Angelica hesitated.

Pleading wasn’t off the table. But would Selina really let Katie go?

Right then, her phone rang.

Public backlash over the competition scandal was exploding. The bribery, the rigging, the setup—it had all gone viral.

Her agent’s voice came through, urgent and panicked.

"Angelica, what the hell is going on? Sponsors and investors are all calling! You’re about to lose your endorsements—everything!"

"I can still help spin the ’prearranged winner’ story. But if you also helped frame Selina? If you were involved in that? Not even God can save you."

If Angelica not only rigged the championship but also paid to ruin her own sister, her career would be over.

"Angelica, listen to me—cut ties with Katie. Now!"

Angelica’s hands clenched into fists. Her vision blurred. She nearly passed out.

It was over. Completely over.

If she didn’t make a move soon, she and the entire Clark family would be a joke in high society.

Why had everything turned out so differently from what she planned?

Selina watched her, calm and patient.

"Well, Angelica? Time’s ticking. Have you made your decision?"

Katie looked at her with desperate eyes. _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}

"Angelica, please... save me. You’re the only one who can. Everything I did—I did for you..."

Angelica felt like she was about to snap.

If she helped Katie now, she’d go down with her.

Maybe it was better to—

She gritted her teeth, turned sharply, and—

"Mom, I can’t believe you. You were sleeping with Ellis behind my back—and framing my sister?!"

"You always said you cared about Selina, that she was the one being difficult. And I believed you..."

She turned to Selina, tears in her eyes.

"Selina, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know the truth. I didn’t want to believe my mom was hurting you. This is all my fault. Please—please forgive me."

She dropped to her knees.

Selina gave a slow, satisfied smile.

Perfect. Mission accomplished.

She turned her gaze to Katie.

"Well, Ms. Bryant. What do you have to say for yourself?"

Katie’s eyes widened, her terrified expression frozen on her face.

Her own daughter’s betrayal was the final straw that broke her.

From this moment on, Katie would face prison. She would be reviled by the public.
