Chapter 131: Messing with the Wrong Person Lucy saw Selina staying silent and immediately became even more confident.
"Mr. Reid, thatâs exactly what happened! I kindly advised her to stop coveting things that donât belong to her, and she... she insulted me!"
Loganâs lips curved slightly. "Oh? How did she insult you?"
"She hit me! Mr. Reid, look at my handâthis vile woman did this to me!"
Logan narrowed his eyes. "Does it hurt?"
The moment those words left his mouth, everyone around them gasped in shock.
Was Mr. Reid... showing concern for Lucy?!
Oh my God! Lucy is so lucky!
Lucyâs eyes lit up with excitement. Seizing the opportunity, she twisted her waist and tried to throw herself into Loganâs armsâonly for the man to take a casual step to the side, nearly making her fall.
Still, she was overjoyed and quickly played the victim.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Reid! It doesnât hurt at all! But this maid went too far! She said she dines and sleeps with you every day, and that you canât bear to be apart from her! Isnât that complete nonsense?!"
"I only wanted to remind her of her place, but she got angry and attacked me! Mr. Reid, you must stand up for me!"
Lucy spoke with growing confidence.
After all, Mr. Reid was notoriously cold toward women. Any woman who had ever dared to publicly claim she would win him over had been transferred out of the secretaryâs office the very next day.
This little maid? She was done for!
Selina blinked, momentarily stunned by Lucyâs sheer audacity in twisting the truth.
"Miss Lucy, do you think Reid Group doesnât have security cameras?"
Natalia, biting her lip, weakly added, "Sister, I know you donât like me, but you donât have to take it out on Secretary Lucy. Mr. Reid is clearly concerned about herâdonât you think youâve gone too far?"
Lucy dabbed at imaginary tears, waiting for Logan to punish this overreaching little maid.
But the expected punishment never came.
Instead, Logan let out a low chuckleâa sound that carried a trace of indulgence.
"Let me see your hands." he mused.
Lucy immediately stretched out her own. "Mr. Reidâ"
But another hand moved faster.
Selina, looking pitiful and aggrieved, softly placed her hand into Loganâs palm.
Lucyâs expression turned ghastly. "Selina! Mr. Reid, look at her! You were clearly asking about me, but this shameless womanâ"
Logan barely spared Lucy a glance before idly studying Selinaâs hand.
"Itâs all red," he noted lazily. "Did you hit her too hard?"
Then, in an offhanded tone, he added, "Next time, just let the bodyguards do it. No need to dirty your own hands."
Lucy choked.
What... what did he just say?!
Selinaâs eyes twinkled mischievously as she dramatically pouted, her voice dripping with exaggerated sweetness.
"Itâs all Lucyâs fault! Her skin is just too thick! My hand still hurts! Logan, sheâs so annoying!"
Loganâs gaze turned cold as he looked at Lucy.
Lucy panicked.
Wait... wasnât Mr. Reid concerned about her?!
Why was he treating this shameless woman likeâlikeâ
In her frustration, she completely lost control.
"Mr. Reid, donât listen to this lying wench! Reid Group doesnât allow outsiders to enter. I was just doing my job by keeping her outâ"
Selina tilted her head, her tone meaningful. "But why did you stop me, Lucy? Natalia was able to come in. Why couldnât I?"
Lucy didnât even think before blurting out, "Natalia is the young miss of the Clark Family! And you? Youâre nothing but a lowly nobody! You donât deserve toâ"
"Lucy."
A cold male voice interrupted her.
Lucy instantly felt a terrible sense of foreboding.
Loganâs presence was overwhelming, pressing down on her like a suffocating force. His voice was slow and deliberate.
"Who gave you the right," he said icily, "to disrespect my Mrs. Reid?"
Lucyâs brain short-circuited.
Her mind went blank.
Disrespect his... Mrs. Reid?
His Mrs. Reid...
She had only insulted Selina.
So that meant...
Selina was... Mrs. Reid?!
But... but wasnât she just a maid?! How could she be Mrs. Reid?!
The words echoed in her mind over and over again.
And thenâthud!
Lucyâs legs gave out, and she collapsed to the floor, her face as pale as a ghost.
She was finished.
Logan gave a calm yet decisive order. "I donât need a secretary like you. Youâre fired."
Lucy nearly lost her mind. She panicked, scrambling for an escape. "No, noâNatalia, help me!"
"How strange." Selina suddenly blinked, her tone laced with hidden meaning. "Sister, you always knew I was Mrs. Reid. So why didnât you tell Secretary Lucy? Because of your silence, she made such a huge mistake."
"If you had warned her earlier, I doubt she would have insulted me. Arenât you two friends?"
The moment Selinaâs words fell, silence swept through the room.
Nataliaâs face instantly turned ghostly pale. "I..."
"Yes! Natalia, why didnât you tell me?!" Lucy, as if clutching onto her last hope, hurriedly threw blame elsewhere.
"Mr. Reid, I never intended to stop Mrs. Reid at first! It was Natalia who told me her sister was just some country bumpkin who would definitely displease you if she barged in. Thatâs why I blocked her from entering! Natalia misled me!"
Nataliaâs throat tightened as she forced tears to well up. "I didnât! Secretary Lucy, how could you accuse me like this?"
Lucy shrieked, "It was you! Otherwise, why would I have targeted Selina?! I didnât even know her before today! Youâre just jealous! Youâre jealous that she became Mrs. Reid while youâre still just a bastard child!"
Natalia let out a pitiful sob, tears falling down her face like a delicate flower in the rain. "Selina is my sister... Seeing her happy makes me happy. Why would I be jealous..."
Selina leisurely watched the two of them tear into each other.
Once she was satisfied, she finally interrupted with a teasing smirk.
"Sister, I think Secretary Lucy has a point. She didnât even know me before today, so why would she have any reason to target me?" She tilted her head playfully before her eyes flashed with mischief.
"But... if you want me to stop suspecting you, there is a way..."
Selinaâs lips curled. "Right here, in front of all these employeesâcall me Mrs. Reid."

ï¤Chapter 130: Bold Words Loganâs lips twitched into an almost imperceptible smirk.
Nataliaâs entire body stiffened. She trembled, as if she had just suffered a great humiliation.
Call her Mrs. Reid? Impossible. Impossible!
That bitch Selina had no right to be married to Logan!
Selina clicked her tongue. "How odd. My dear sister insists she isnât jealous of me, yet she canât even bring herself to say âMrs. Reidâ out loud."
Natalia suddenly felt countless eyes on herâjudgmental, mocking, as if they were peeling back her carefully crafted mask.
She staggered two steps backward, her face completely drained of color. "I... Iâm just not used to it yet..."
"Thatâs fine. Iâll give you some time to get used to it." Selina nodded thoughtfully. "Will five minutes be enough? Go on, say it."
A bead of sweat rolled down Nataliaâs forehead. Her voice came out hoarse, carrying an undercurrent of sheer humiliation.
"Sister... a man like Mr. Reid would never like a woman whoâs arrogant just because sheâs favored. You shouldnât ruin your reputation just to spite me."
"And besides... that scar on your neck is so hideous... Mr. Reid was already kind enough to marry you despite it. You should stop being so willful..."
The crowd instinctively turned their gazes toward Selinaâs neck.
Oh my God... there really was a deep, jagged scar!
Mr. Reid could have any woman he wanted. If Selina kept acting out, she would surely be discarded sooner or later...
Selinaâs face darkened.
Natalia had deliberately brought up her scar in front of everyoneâpublicly digging into her wounds!
Just as she was about to retort, Logan suddenly spoke firstâ
