Chapter 104: Let the Mistake Last a Lifetime The air around them instantly became heavy, and the intimate atmosphere vanished with those words.
Loganâs gaze darkened, his smile not quite reaching his eyes, though he still maintained his calm demeanor.
"Whatâs wrong? Curious about my relationship with the Carter Family?"
Selina blinked, taking a roundabout approach, "A little."
Logan narrowed his eyes. He knew that Mrs. Reid married him because she mistakenly thought he was the heir to the Carter Family. He also knew that she married the wrong person.
But for him, there was no room for errorâit was a mistake that would last a lifetime.
Had Kevin said something to her that made her doubt things?
Loganâs eyes shifted slightly, "No need to be curious. I donât value the Carter Family, so I never attend their parties or social gatherings. Does that satisfy you, Mrs. Reid?"
Selina hissed in surprise. Kevin had mentioned that the Carter Family heir didnât want the family business, which was consistent with Loganâs explanation.
Had she overthought this?
She cleared her throat, "Mr. Reid, you once mentioned that you changed your surname... why?"
Logan smirked, amused by how she was still probing him.
She probably thought he had changed his surname from Carter to Reid. But in reality...
This could be seen as a misunderstanding, but no, this wasnât just a misunderstanding. All the mix-ups between him and Mrs. Reid could only be called fate.
"I changed it due to some pressure, but Iâll change it back eventually."
The more Selina thought about it, the more it seemed like there was nothing wrong.
Plus, sheâd heard Ryan call him "uncle" before...
It couldnât be wrong, could it?
Logan quickly interrupted her thoughts, "Youâre going to try on the wedding dress tomorrow? Kevinâs design?"
Selina was momentarily taken aback, "The Turner family has some connections with my mother, so he designed a dress for me as a gift."
Logan raised an eyebrow, "Iâll take you there tomorrow."
His response was entirely truthful, but it would depend on how Mrs. Reid interpreted it.
After Selina left, Loganâs smile faded. "Find out what Kevin knows, and keep applying pressure on the Clark Family."
Jack nodded, then quietly added, "Sir, hiding this from Mrs. Reid isnât going to work for long."
Logan smiled faintly, "What difference does it make? At least she wonât leave me, will she?"
...
Meanwhile, the Clark Family was in turmoil.
Since the business marriage was exposed, the Clark Familyâs situation had become grim.
James was worried about offending Logan and forced Natalia to apologize to Selina.
Katieâs face was pale, "I canât let Natalia apologize, or sheâll be ruined for life. Sheâs worked so hard to get here... oh, my daughter..."
But before she could finish her plea, James turned sharply. "Cry, cry, cry! Thatâs all you do! Carter Family hasnât said a word, and youâve offended Loganâwhatâs the point of crying?!"
Natalia was startled, the sobs stuck in her throat.
She didnât just want Selina to disappear? That country bumpkin should dieâwhat was her fault?
But who knew that Selina, that horrible woman, had gotten close to Logan!
"James, what are you saying?!"
Just then, Grandpa Clark walked in. "That ingrate wouldnât understand Nataliaâs good intentions. Apologize? Who cares what people think?!"
"And Iâve found something out."
Grandpa Clarkâs smile was smug. "Mr. Reid and Selina are just playing around. We donât need to worry too much."
James froze. "Is that true?"
"Of course, itâs true!"
Grandpa Clark pulled out a few photos, "This is Bella, the daughter of the Hayes Family. Sheâs Mr. Reidâs rightful fiancée. Mr. Reidâs marriage to Selina was a last resort."
"Now that Bellaâs back, thereâs no reason for Selina, this substitute, to remain."
Grandpa Clark slammed his hand down, "Selina will be discarded soon enough. Even if they donât divorce right away, Mr. Reid will get tired of her eventually!"
Jamesâs eyes lit up.
If thatâs the case... then once Selina divorces, wouldnât this daughter still be under his control?
"Old Mr. Clark, good news, good news!"
Suddenly, the butler received a call, his face beaming with excitement. "Old Mr. Clark, Mrs. Carter and Miss Carter have invited Miss Natalia to try on wedding dresses tomorrow!"
"It looks like good things are on the way. Congratulations to Miss Natalia!"
The Clark Family members were stunned.
They hadnât expected that after the incident with Taylor Group... Ryan would rather defy Old Mr. Carterâs wishes and marry Natalia?!
A gleam of surprise flashed in Nataliaâs eyes. Even if Selina married Logan, so what?
She would be discarded sooner or later.
And she? She was about to become the exalted Mrs. Carter!
...
The next afternoon, Logan dropped Selina off outside the bridal shop.
It was her first time here, and she couldnât help but admire Kevinâs choice of location. For a wedding dress studio to be situated in such a prime, expensive areaâit was quite extravagant.
Selina unbuckled her seatbelt and blinked. "Mr. Reid, thank you for bringing me here."
Logan turned off the engine, his arm resting casually on the car window. His smile was gentle. "Itâs on my way. I have some things to take care of nearby."
Selina was puzzled. This area was full of luxury stores. What could he possibly need to handle here?
But since she wasnât familiar with the Reid Groupâs operations, she didnât ask any more questions.
After Selina left, Loganâs expression darkened.
Two minutes later, Jack called to remind him: "Sir, Mrs. Perry has been calling several times. The old lady also called once to ask about you. What should we do?"
Logan sneered. How interesting. After all these years of no contact, his "biological mother" was suddenly eager to meet him.
Fine, letâs see what sheâs up to.
Fifteen minutes later, in the VIP lounge of a high-end luxury store.
Logan pushed open the door and immediately heard a sharp female voice: "How dare you keep me waiting this long?! Do you have any manners?!"
Sitting on the sofa was none other than Mrs. Reid, Amelia Perry, the adopted daughter of the Perry Family.
Forty-five years ago, the Perry Familyâs eldest daughter was born, but due to a nurseâs mistake, the eldest daughter, Anna Perry, was switched with the nannyâs daughter, Amelia.
As a result, Amelia lived as the eldest daughter of the Perry Family for eighteen years.
For those eighteen years, only Grandma Perry had been determined to find her real daughter, while everyone else accepted that Amelia was the rightful heiress of the Perry Family.
With Grandma Perryâs health failing and constantly being hospitalized, by the time Anna, the real eldest daughter, returned at eighteen, the Perry Family still put Amelia above Anna.

Amelia claimed to be the Perry Familyâs true young lady, attending high-society events, while Anna was forced to live under the label of an adopted daughter, with everything upside down.
But the Perry Family had grown used to it. They looked down on Anna, claiming she wasnât presentable, and complained that she couldnât win people over the way Amelia could.
Later, the Reid Family and the Perry Family arranged a business marriage, and the Perry Familyâs real eldest daughter married the heir to the Reid Family, while Amelia took the position of the mistress...
Thinking of this, Loganâs eyes turned cold, like a blade. "If you canât speak properly, Mrs. Perry, I donât mind making sure you never speak again."
With a loud crash, the woman angrily threw a vase, but she ultimately restrained herself and said, "Your grandmotherâs birthday is coming up. Why donât you give that piece of land in South City to your brother? That way, your grandmother will be pleased."
Her entitled attitude made Loganâs smile more sarcastic.
"Brother? Only the Perry Family would value an adopted son of unknown origin more than their own flesh and blood, wouldnât they, Mrs. Perry?"
