Chapter 137: Obsessed with Stealing Selinaâs Man Selina met Loganâs gaze. He saw the doubt in her eyes and slowly curled his lips into a smile.
"Mrs. Reid, Iâll have a surprise for you tomorrow."
...
Upstairs bedroom.
"Mom, I donât want to live anymore!"
Natalia threw herself into Katieâs arms, sobbing uncontrollably. "Look at Selina! That b*tch has Mr. Reid backing her up, and now sheâs stepping all over me! I donât think Ryan even compares to Mr. Reid. Why should such a great man be monopolized by Selina?!"
As she spoke, a sudden thought lit up her eyes. "Mom, what if I steal Logan away?"
Katieâs eyes flickered, her heartbeat accelerating.
If she became Loganâs mother-in-law...
"Natalia, Mr. Reid is staying the night. Iâll make arrangements for you to go to his room in the middle of the night."
Natalia was both excited and nervous. "But what if Logan wonât touch me?"
"Donât worry, men always want more than whatâs in front of them. Youâre more seductive than Selina. Once you take everything off, I refuse to believe Logan wonât be tempted!"
Katie spoke with confidenceâafter all, this was exactly how she had climbed the social ladder back then. She was an expert in this. "Tomorrow morning, Iâll bring people in to âcatch you in the act.â By then, youâll be in bed with Mr. Reid, and heâll have no choice but to take responsibility!"
Nataliaâs face turned bright red, already imagining herself as the future Mrs. Reid.
"Thank you, Mom! Oh, and once Iâm with Mr. Reid, Selina will be thrown aside. Didnât you say Mr. Perez is interested in her? We can just hand her over to him!"
Katie coaxed her gently, "My sweet Natalia, always so kind. Donât worry, Iâll handle Mr. Perez. You just focus on securing Mr. Reid."
"Remember, you have to be proactive tonight. Use all the tricks I taught youâdonât be shy, men always fall for that!"
...
Outside the door, Logan had heard everything loud and clear.
Like mother, like daughter. A live tutorial on seducing menâwhat a show.
And Natalia even wanted to gift Mrs. Reid to Mr. Perez?
Heh. In that case, she shouldnât blame him for returning the favor.
...
At 10 PM, the guests gradually retired to their rooms.
Katie signaled to Natalia, who stepped forward, holding a glass of wine. "Mr. Reid, have some wine to warm up."
Selina instantly sensed something was off. "Natalia, he doesnât drink wine offered by others."
Katie quickly intervened. "Oh, Selina, donât be so stingy! Mr. Reid is Nataliaâs brother-in-law. Whatâs wrong with toasting him?"
Loganâs gaze darkened, but he took the glass casually, swirling the wine. "Alright, a little drink in the evening wonât hurt. Selina, go wait for me in the room."
Selina blinked and suddenly remembered the âsurpriseâ Logan had mentioned.
"Oh... I get it."
As she turned to leave, she felt an unsettling gaze crawling over her.
Selina narrowed her eyes and met the filthy stareâit was... Mr. Perez?
Her eyes flickered, and in that moment, she understood Nataliaâs scheme.
Once Selina was out of sight, a cold glint flashed in Loganâs eyes. He turned to Perez and said smoothly, "Mr. Perez, why donât you have a drink too?"
Natalia and Katie exchanged looks, growing more confident. They quickly poured a glass for Mr. Perez.
Logan smirked faintly, shifted slightly, and discreetly swapped his glass with Perezâs. Then, he downed it in one go.
Nataliaâs heart nearly leaped out of her chest in excitement!
That glass was drugged. As long as he drank itâ
Sure enough, moments later, Logan pinched the bridge of his nose. "This wine is quite strong. Iâll excuse myself first."
Perez also felt a little dizzy. Strange... was the wine really that strong?
Katieâs face lit up with excitement. "Mr. Reid, youâre drunk! Natalia, quickly help Mr. Reid upstairs to rest."
Blushing, Natalia stepped forward coyly. "Logan, let me take you to your room."
Logan truly appeared to be âdrunk.â Once they reached the room, Katie lowered her voice.
"Natalia, Iâve made all the arrangements. Tomorrow morning, people will come in, and once you and Mr. Reid are officially together, weâll sell Selina to Mr. Perez."
"You just focus on enjoying your life with Mr. Reid. Donât feel guiltyâafter all, for a bitch like Selina, Mr. Perez is exactly where she belongs..."
Loganâs expression grew darker and darker.
Natalia. Katie. Mr. Perez.
Very well.
He would make sure Mrs. Reid got justiceâpiece by piece.
...
Five minutes later, Logan walked out of the guest room, his eyes sharp and clear.
Jack hurried over. "Sir, are you alright? Natalia actually dared to scheme against you! Should I go teach her a lesson?"
"Sheâs already been knocked out." Logan replied casually. "And what about Mr. Perez?"
Jack answered, "Drunk, but still somewhat conscious."
Logan let out a mocking chuckle. "Drag him into my guest room. Iâve prepared a little âgiftâ for him."
Jack shuddered. "Understood, sir."
"Oh, and one more thing." Loganâs voice was calm. "I want Katie to have a âwedding anniversary sheâll never forget.â Go make the arrangements."
...
The Next Morning As soon as Selina stepped out of her room, she heard Katieâs exaggerated cries.
"Butler! Quick, get the key! Natalia took Mr. Reid to his room last night and never came out. IâIâm so worried..."
Evelyn raised her voice as well. "If Mr. Reid really did something with Natalia... oh dear, how will she ever get married now?!"
Guests were gradually emerging from their rooms, exchanging glances at the commotion.
"Whatâs going on? Natalia and Logan spent the night in the same room?!"
"Yikes, a man and a woman alone all night... That doesnât sound good..."
Selina narrowed her eyes. "Mrs. Bryant, why are you throwing a fit so early in the morning? And why are you making a scene about my husband?"
Katieâs eyes darted around. She was a bit puzzledâwhy wasnât Perez with Selina? But no matter. Once Natalia secured her position, Selina would be at her mercy anyway.
She put on a sorrowful face. "Selina, I didnât want this either! But last night, Mr. Reid was drunk, and Natalia, being kind-hearted, helped him to his room. And then... wuuu wuuu..."
Evelyn sneered at Selina. "Oh, come on, Selina, whatâs there to hide? Natalia is beautiful and gentleâif Mr. Reid took a liking to her and couldnât control himself, well, it wouldnât be surprising!"
"Donât be bitter, Selina. As a woman, you should be more generous!"
Selina arched a brow. So this was the âsurpriseâ Logan had mentioned?
Just then, a guest staying near the supposed room hesitated before speaking up. "I did hear some noises last night... coming from Mr. Reidâs room."
"It sounded like... someone saying âfaster, satisfy meâ or something like that..."
His voice trailed off, but the implication was clear.

The guests looked embarrassed, some even casting pitying glances at Selina.
Katie covered her face and sobbed. "My poor Natalia! She was a pure and innocent girl, and now sheâs given herself away... What should we do?!"
Evelyn smirked. "Selina, you see the situation. We canât just let Natalia be taken advantage of for nothing."
"As her sister, you should do the right thingâgive Mr. Reid to her!"
Katie wiped away her fake tears. "Evelyn, stop... I believe Mr. Reid will take responsibilityâ"
"Oh?"
A cold, crisp male voice cut through the crowd.
Everyone turned around, and Katie froze in terror.
Logan.
Logan was here?!
He wasnât in the room?!
