Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54: A Surprise for Her

Some students immediately handed their phones to Noah. "Mr. Brown, look—there are photos and recordings. James is caught saying that if Selina doesn’t hand over her mother’s belongings to Natalia, he’ll beat her to death!"

"Exactly! Natalia, your parents ended up in the police station, and here you are trying to flirt with men. Don’t you have any shame?"

Natalia was furious, tears streaming down her face like a delicate flower. "Mr. Brown, this isn’t true! My father is Selina’s biological father; he’s always cared deeply for her. My mother feels guilty toward her, so how could they—"

Before she could finish, Noah cut her off sharply.

"So, the Clark Family has one face for the public and another behind closed doors! I thought your family might have learned from their mistakes, but you’ve only doubled down!"

"I came back to this country for Victoria, and you have the audacity to seize and steal her inheritance?"

"And who do you think you are? You’re nothing but an illegitimate child. Taking someone else’s place wasn’t enough—you’re even scheming to steal from the rightful wife’s estate?"

"Get lost. From now on, I’ll pretend I don’t even know you. Don’t show your face to me again; it’s revolting."

With that, Noah turned and walked away.

The surrounding students burst into applause.

"Noah is so decisive!" _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}

"That’s exactly how you deal with fake nice girls like her. I still don’t understand what Mr. Carter sees in Natalia."

"How humiliating for her. Why hasn’t Natalia transferred schools yet?"

Natalia’s face turned ghostly pale, and she swayed as though she might faint at any moment.

Unable to endure the whispers and judgmental stares any longer, she covered her face and ran off, crying.

The moment she got home, she opened the news on her phone and nearly passed out from rage.

The public image she had worked so hard to rebuild had been completely destroyed—by her own mother!

Ding ding...

Her phone buzzed.

Seeing Ryan’s name on the caller ID, Natalia hurriedly picked up, still sobbing. "Ryan..."

"Natalia, Grandpa saw the news. He doesn’t want to see you for the time being," Ryan said, his voice tense.

"Bryant Auntie—what was she thinking? If you needed jewelry, you could’ve asked me. Breaking into Aunt Adams’s home to steal her belongings... Grandpa is furious."

Ryan offered a few hurried words of consolation before hanging up.

Natalia couldn’t hold back her frustration anymore. Screaming, she hurled her phone to the ground.

"Ahhh!"

The only reason she had wanted Victoria’s belongings was to make a splash at the Carter Family’s banquet!

Now, she wasn’t even allowed to attend the event!

Her head spun with rage, and she collapsed to the floor, throwing a tantrum and shouting at the top of her lungs, "That wretch! That wretch! Why did Selina come back? Why didn’t that b*tch just die somewhere out there?"

Passing servants shivered at the sight of her unhinged appearance, instinctively keeping their distance.

Second floor, Sapphire Valley Villa.

Selina had no idea what was happening with Natalia. She lay on her bed, scrolling through her phone.

On the screen was a faded photo of a woman.

Her trip to the old house in BW Town to investigate her mother’s connection to the Carter Family had yielded little, and even her mother’s photo albums had been lost.

Oh right... Logan had said he came looking for her. But he never explained why.

Well, since he didn’t bring it up again, it probably wasn’t important.

As her thoughts drifted, she dozed off without realizing it.

When she woke up, it was already the next morning.

Selina leaped out of bed, shocked at how much she had slept.

Her stomach growled with hunger, and she went downstairs to grab something to eat.
