Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 52

Chapter 52: Called the Police

Katie fanned the flames, saying, "We’re all family, right? Victoria’s belongings are practically James’s as well. But Selina says we have no right to take them and even accuses us of trespassing. She’s so unreasonable!"

James’s anger boiled over. "Selina! Victoria’s inheritance naturally belongs to me now that she’s gone. Katie took a few things, and you start fighting over it? Kneel down!"

Selina lifted her gaze, staring at him coldly. "Mr. Clark, are you out of your mind? My mother left a will—what does that have to do with you?"

James choked on his words, sputtering in frustration. "It’s just a few keepsakes! And you’re being this stingy?! Natalia is going to visit the Carter Family—give her your mother’s jewelry to wear!"

Leaning casually against the doorframe, Selina raised an eyebrow. "Natalia? An illegitimate child? She’s not worthy."

Katie began sobbing dramatically. "Selina, how can you be so cruel? Natalia is your sister! Her happiness is your happiness. Why won’t you help her? What’s happened to you?"

James raised his hand in fury. "Ungrateful brat, I’ll teach you a lesson today!"

Selina didn’t flinch, instead lazily waving her phone. "I’ve recorded everything that happened today. Trespassing, helping a mistress steal the original wife’s inheritance—imagine how that’ll play out when it’s exposed. Think carefully, Mr. Clark."

James froze mid-swing, his hand trembling in the air.

His face flushed with rage. "You... You... How dare you—"

"At your age, stuttering like this, I suggest seeing a doctor sooner rather than later," Selina said coolly.

Then she added, "So, Mr. Clark, will you let this recording go public, or will you return my mother’s belongings?"

James’s face turned beet red. He hadn’t expected Selina to record their entire exchange.

Katie, seeing the situation slipping away, burst into tears. "James, think about Natalia! How could my daughter have a sister like this?"

James hesitated, his resolve wavering.

Selina, sensing his uncertainty, twisted the knife further. "Seems like you’ve made your decision. I’ll just send the recording to Noah—"

"Return the items!" James shouted abruptly.

Robert stood dumbfounded. The jewelry was worth a fortune, and now they were just giving it back?

Katie seethed silently but couldn’t defy James’s orders. Begrudgingly, she threw the jewelry boxes onto the ground. "In the end, Selina just looks down on me. Fine, take it. Waaaah..."

Selina ignored their theatrics, not sparing them a glance as she turned and walked into the house.

She carefully placed the jewelry boxes back where they belonged, then began searching through the cabinet. "Uncle Ford, where’s the photo album?" _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}

Uncle Ford looked startled. "The album was always here. No one touched it—except Ms. Bryant earlier..."

Selina immediately understood and almost laughed in disbelief.

She rushed outside and blocked the three as they were about to leave.

Katie cowered behind James, crying, "Selina, we’ve already returned everything! What more do you want?"

Selina’s voice turned icy. "Where’s my mother’s photo album?"

James scowled, his patience wearing thin. "Are you done yet? What photo album? Who would want a dead person’s album—it’s bad luck!"

Selina narrowed her eyes. "Katie, do you want another slap?"

Katie flinched at Selina’s sharp tone, her fear quickly giving way to indignation.

Selina, this wretch who only survived by clinging to the Clark Family, should be groveling beneath her feet. How dare she speak to her like this?

Still furious, Katie couldn’t resist provoking her.

"Photo album? Oh, I remember now. That old, tattered thing—I thought it was garbage and burned it."

Katie smirked mockingly. "Didn’t realize it was your mother’s album? Well, James is right. It’s bad luck anyway. Burning it was for the best."

Selina’s blood ran cold. In an instant, she lunged forward, gripping Katie’s throat tightly.
