Chapter 130: Bold Words The students continued their discussion:
"The Carter Family members all seem afraid to offend him, especially Ryan."
Selina nodded. Of course. After all, Logan was Ryanâs uncle. And someone like Ryanâwho only bullied the weak and feared the strongâwould naturally be terrified of Logan.
"I saw it myself last time! Ryan is usually so arrogant, but when Logan visited the Carter Family, he actually went to the door to personally welcome him!"
"Could it be because the Carter Family is wary of Reid Group? Or maybe theyâre just forced to cooperate with him?"
Selina narrowed her eyes.
She had already been questioning Loganâs true identity...
"Youâre all wrong. It has nothing to do with business matters."
A female voice suddenly spoke up, calm and indifferent:
"Mr. Reid and the Carter Family might actually be related."
The girl who spoke was from the Moore Familyâa longtime business partner of the Carter Family. That meant she had access to information that others didnât.
"My father said that when Logan was a child, he lived at the Carter Family estate for quite some time. Old Mr. Carter doted on him a lot. But then, for some reason, Logan moved out... and even changed his last name."
A wave of shock rippled through the students.
Selina fell into deep thought.
Was she wrong to doubt Loganâs identity?
Could it be that there was nothing suspicious about his background?
The students continued their excited chatter.
"If Logan is really related to the Carter Family, then Natalia just hit the jackpot!"
"Yeah! If she marries Ryan, sheâll be connected to Logan too. So jealous..."
Selina clicked her tongue, snapping out of her thoughts.
So Natalia had found this opportunity, huh?
Trying to climb her way up? In her dreams.
Selinaâs eyes gleamed as she pulled out her phone and dialed the driver.
"Take me to Reid Group."
Half an hour later, Selina arrived.
It was her first time visiting Loganâs workplace. Just as she was about to step inside, an unpleasant female voice rang out:
"Some people really have no shame. They know theyâre not worthy, yet they still shamelessly cling on."
Selina frowned and glanced at the woman.
She didnât recognize her.
So she ignored her and kept walking.
But the woman suddenly stepped forward and blocked her path, glaring in disgust. "What, are you deaf? Didnât you hear me talking to you?"
Selina narrowed her eyes.
Wait... was that insult directed at her?
Who was this woman?
Selina had never been one to tolerate nonsense. She smirked. "Oh, you were talking to me? My bad. I thought it was just some stray dog barking."
"Youâ!" The womanâs face twisted with anger, but she quickly regained her arrogant demeanor and turned to the receptionist.
"She doesnât have an appointment. Throw her out."
Selina sneered. In Loganâs own company, someone actually dared to act this arrogant?
She pulled out her phone, ready to call Jackâ
"Lucy, donât be angry. My sister didnât mean it."
Natalia suddenly jogged over, her expression full of fake guilt.
"Sister, this is Mr. Reidâs secretary, Miss Lucy. This isnât a place for someone like you. You should leave."
Loganâs secretary... Oh. That explained it.
Lucyâs confidence soared. "Now you get it? Hurry up and leave."
Selina smirked, her tone playful. "Natalia, you know my identity. Is it really strange for me to be here looking for Logan?"
Nataliaâs expression froze.
Damn it. Of course she knew that Selina was Mrs. Reid.
But so what?! Mr. Reid was definitely going to abandon this shameless woman sooner or later!
Lucy frowned, eyeing Selina with disdain. "Identity? What identity?"
Natalia nearly clenched her teeth to dust.
She had finally managed to get into Reid Group, and with Lucyâs help, she was just about to meet Mr. Reid.
And then Selina had to show up at this moment?!
No way.
She could not let Lucy find out Selina was Mrs. Reid. Otherwise, all her efforts would be wasted!
Thinking quickly, Natalia feigned helplessness and said, "Lucy, my sister... sheâs just a maid at Sapphire Valley Villa."
Lucy immediately relaxed, her expression turning even more disdainful.
So that was it? Just a mere maid!
"Hilarious. Women like youâwho donât know their place and think seducing Mr. Reid will turn them into some high-society ladyâIâve seen plenty.
Youâd better remember who you are and stop fantasizing about things that donât belong to you!"
Selina almost burst into laughter out of sheer disbelief.
No wonder Lucy had been hostile from the start.
She wasnât targeting her specificallyâshe was targeting any woman prettier than her.
Because Lucy liked Logan!
Selina lifted her chin and flaunted, her tone as smug as possible, dripping with faux innocence:
"Oh, absolutely. I came here specifically to see Logan. Not only that, but weâll be having dinner together, and later... sleeping together too. Miss Lucy, why are you, a mere secretary, getting so worked up? Mr. Reidâs personal life isnât something he needs to report to you, is it?"
The crowd immediately turned to watch.
Lucyâs face stiffened. She was so furious she nearly coughed up blood. "Y-you shameless woman! As if Mr. Reid would ever take an interest in someone like you! Nonsense!"
Selina blinked innocently. "Oh, but Iâm not making things up. Your Mr. Reid absolutely adores me. He calls me baby every day, and just this morning, he insisted that I send him off personally. He even said he canât bear to be apart from me."
"Shut up!"
Lucy was livid.
She had worked beside Logan for three years. She was the one closest to himâshe was supposed to be special.
And yet, this maid dared to act like she meant something?!
"Youâre absolutely disgraceful! Being a mistress, a homewreckerâwhat, you enjoy degrading yourself?!"
Lucy was shrieking now, her face twisted with rage.
She suddenly lifted her hand, about to slap Selina across the face!
"I knew the moment I saw your face that you were nothing but trouble! Stop dreaming about becoming Mrs. Reid! Once Mr. Reid gets tired of you, Iâll personally make sureâahh!"
Crack!
With a swift move, Selina caught Lucyâs wrist and twisted it effortlessly.
A sharp pain shot up Lucyâs arm. "My hand! You bitch! Go get Mr. Reid! Selina, youâre finished! Mr. Reid will never let you off!"
Selina smirked, the perfect picture of someone who knew she was spoiled and untouchable.
"Sure, go ahead. Tell Logan. Letâs see who he sides withâyou or me."
Lucy nearly passed out from rage. She completely dropped the act, screaming, "You bitch! Someone, get her! Beat her to death!"
At her command, the bodyguards stepped forwardâ
"Stop."
A deep, icy male voice cut through the commotion.
Everyone froze.
They turned to lookâand instantly held their breath.
Logan.
His eyes narrowed, a cold, dangerous glint in his gaze. "Whatâs going on here?"
"Mr. Reid!"
Lucy immediately switched to her most pitiful expression, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. "You donât know whatâs happening. Your maid came to Reid Group causing troubleâand had the audacity to claim that you are her man!"
That last part echoed in the airâ
Her man...
Loganâs brow lifted slightly. He turned his gaze to Selina, his expression unreadable.

Selina blinked, meeting his eyesâ
And suddenly felt very guilty.
Uh-oh.
Bragging about him to Lucy was one thing.
But having the man himself hear it...?
For some reason, she suddenly felt a strange sense of embarrassment.
