Chapter 164: Selina Is Jealous Bella stammered, her face deathly pale. "I just... I just forgot for a moment... Luke, I didnât do it on purpose."
Selina clicked her tongue twice. "Miss Hayes says she forgot, so letâs just assume she did. Logan, letâs head to the auction hall."
Logan cast Bella a cold glance. "Suit yourself."
Bella staggered, nearly losing her balance.
As the two of them walked away, she clenched her fists tightly, unwilling to accept defeat. Tears welled up and finally fell as she choked out, "Luke, I didnât expect Selina to hate me this much. Logan and I are just ordinary friends... Maybe I shouldnât have come back to the country..."
But instead of the comfort she expected, Luke simply asked, "Bella, did you really forget to tell me they were married?"
Bellaâs entire body stiffened before she quickly turned even more pitiful. "Luke, are you doubting me too?"
Luke hesitated, feeling a pang of guilt. "Bella, no matter what, you and Logan broke up. He has a family nowâitâs time to let go."
Bella nearly lost her mind. This is NOT what I wanted to hear!
"But Luke, Logan and Selinaâs marriage is just a contract! They donât even love each other! Selina has had so many boyfriends I canât even count themâIâm only worried that Logan wonât be happy..."
By the end of her sentence, Bella was sobbing uncontrollably.
Luke wanted to console her, but reason held him back.
At first, he had mocked Selina because Bella had told him that she and Logan were supposed to get marriedâuntil a vixen named Selina came in and ruined everything.
Naturally, Luke had assumed Selina was in the wrong.
But after seeing her today and learning the truth, he no longer thought that was the case.
"Bella, whether sheâs had boyfriends or notâthatâs for Logan to worry about. If he doesnât mind, why do you?"
Bella continued crying. "Luke, you donât understand. Only I can make Logan happy. If their marriage is a mistake, then it should beâ"
"How do you know itâs a mistake?"
For the first time, Luke found her unfamiliar, his voice hoarse. "Bella, when Logan wasnât married, I supported you. But now he is. Youâre not planning to be the other woman, are you?"
Bella froze, barely holding her expression together. "Of course... Of course not! Luke, how could you think that? Logan and I are just like siblings!"
She quickly added, "If theyâre happy, Iâll give them my blessing from afar. Luke, donât worry, Iâm the eldest daughter of the Hayes FamilyâI would never stoop so low as to interfere in someone elseâs marriage."
Luke finally looked satisfied. "Good. Bella, whatever you do, just donât be a homewrecker. Logan hates people like that."
The mention of homewreckers made Lukeâs expression darken slightly.
In the Reid Family, the story of Amelia and Anna was no secret. As Ameliaâs favorite biological son, Luke knew exactly how his mother had climbed to the topâby taking another womanâs place.
Whether or not Selina was a vixen, Logan had married her. That made them husband and wife.
No matter how unsuitable they were, it wasnât up to outsiders to judge.
Bella let out a soft sigh. "Luke, I understand. As long as Logan is happy, thatâs all that matters. By the way, you should go apologize to Selina later.
Calling her a vixen was a bit too much."
At that, all of Lukeâs previous doubts vanished into thin air.
Bella had just been humiliated, yet she was still concerned about whether Selina would be upset?
Yeah, no way she would do anything shameless.
Bella smiled gently, watching as Luke walked away.
The moment he disappeared, her expression twisted into something dark and vicious.
Selina, I will make sure you fall into complete ruin!
Auction hall.
The charity auction did not have private rooms; everyoneâs seats were arranged in the main hall, and even Logan was no exception.
The moment they sat down, a chilling voice sounded from the side.
"Big Brother is here too? Could it be that thereâs something that even you have your eyes on today?"
Selina frowned and turned her head, spotting Owen.
She looked at Logan and casually asked, "Did you hear that? Sounds like a dog barking."
"Youâ" Owen almost lost his composure. He gritted his teeth before sneering, "You must be here for the final auction itemâthe South City land, right?"
South City land?
Selina blinked.
She had heard Amelia and Owen talk about that land countless times. So they still havenât managed to get it?
Logan didnât even lift his eyelids. "Scram."
"Logan, what the hell are you acting all high and mighty for?!"
Nothing infuriated Owen more than Loganâs indifference.
When Logan first returned to the Reid Family, he had been nothing more than a beggarâhungry, dressed in rags. Meanwhile, Owen was the proud and noble eldest young master of the Reid Family!
Yet Logan had always looked at him with those same cold, indifferent eyes, making Owen feel an overwhelming sense of shame and rage.
He gritted his teeth. "Logan, arenât you desperate to find out what happened to her four years ago? I have information. Give up on the South City land, and Iâll tell you everything!"
Selinaâs gaze snapped up.
That person from four years ago...
For some reason, just hearing that phrase made her feel an inexplicable pressure in her chest.
Four years ago, Logan had someone he deeply cared aboutâsomeone he had been searching for all this time.
If he found her... then what about me?
What did that woman mean to Logan?
Seeing Logan remain silent, Owen thought he had him cornered. He smirked smugly. "As long as you give up on the land, Iâllâ"
Logan suddenly let out a chuckle, his cold eyes finally lifting.
"I told you to scram."
Owenâs face twisted in rage. He could feel the surrounding guests casting mocking glances at him.
Furious, he spat, "Fine! Just you wait, Logan! Youâll never find her! Mark my words!"
He stormed off in a fit of rage.
Selina rested her chin on her hand, unwilling to ask about that person from four years ago. Instead, she changed the subject.
"So, the final auction item is that piece of land? I remember youâve been using it to mess with Owen for a while now."
Logan smiled lazily. "Tonight is just another part of the plan."
Just then, Jack leaned in and whispered, "Sir, I found some information. That person once worked here at this auction house."
Logan immediately stood up, his tone still warm. "Selina, I need to step out for a moment."
Selina pressed her lips together.
She had heard it.
Jack had just said that person from four years ago had worked at this auction house.
So Logan was going to look into it.
A wave of frustration hit her.
Four years ago, four years ago... Why wasnât I in City H back then? Why wasnât I the one who met Logan?
That irritation lingered even as the auction began.

Pressing her lips together, she decided to get up and look for him.
But before she could take a step, a mocking voice sneered from nearby.
"Whatâs the point of looking at all those items? Not like you can afford any of them. Hilarious."
Selina rubbed her ears and followed the grating voice.
Rose stood there, her expression filled with arrogance.
"Every single item here has a starting price of over a million. Selina, do you even have money? You better not embarrass yourself by sitting here and spending nothing."
Selina, already in a bad mood, had just been looking for an outlet to vent. And Rose had walked right into it.
"Miss Hayesâ"
Before Selina could speak, a cold, emotionless male voice cut through the air.
"Miss Hayes, youâre just a distant branch of the Hayes Family, yet you still managed to secure a seat here. So tell meâwhy wouldnât my wife be able to?"
Selina turned her head, her irritation instantly vanishing, replaced by delight.
Logan was back!
