Chapter 190: Selina Turns the Tables As soon as Selina finished speaking, the entire private room fell into dead silence. Everyone exchanged glances, too stunned to say a word.
On one side was Angelicaâthe woman who had saved Loganâs life, the "white moonlight" he had searched for over the past four years. On the other was Selinaâhis newlywed wife, seemingly unloved, yet holding the rightful title of Mrs. Reid.
Two women, standing off against each other. Who would come out on top?
Angelica maintained her gentle smile. "Selina, dear sister, what are you talking about?"
Selina remained calm. "I think you know exactly what Iâm talking about. Everyone here knows whatâs on your mindâthereâs no need to play dumb."
The crowd nodded in agreement. Angelicaâs admiration for Logan was evident to all.
Angelica sighed dramatically. "Selina, do you really want me to be honest? I held back because I didnât want to make things too harsh for you as my sister."
"You and Logan getting married was an accident. Iâm not saying youâre not a good match, but I am his savior. If he had met me first, tell me, would he have married you, or would he have married me?"
Selina let out a cold laugh.
Angelicaâs words seemed reasonable on the surface, but in reality, they were meaningless.
Who said a man must marry the person who saved him? Who said meeting someone first automatically made them Mrs. Reid?
Selina casually tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Hmm, makes sense. But the fact remainsâyou were late. That just means you and Logan werenât meant to be."
That single phraseâ"werenât meant to be"âmade Angelicaâs face twist with embarrassment.
Taylor, unwilling to see his goddess lose face, snapped in frustration. "What are you so smug about? Even if youâre Mrs. Reid, Logan doesnât care about you! Angelica is at least his saviorâLogan will protect her for the rest of his life!"
Several women in the room couldnât hold back their disdain either.
Logan was the ultimate dream man for many of them. If he had married a woman recognized as the cityâs top socialite, they might have accepted it.
But the fact that Selina had taken the position of Mrs. Reid? That was infuriating!
"Yeah, weâve never even heard about Mrs. Reid before! Logan clearly doesnât care about you. If he did, why has he never brought you to any of his gatherings?"
"Miss Clark, a person should know their placeâ"
"Are you lecturing my wife?"
A cold, emotionless voice interrupted the jeering.
Everyoneâs expressions froze as they instinctively turned toward the doorway.
Logan stood there, his sharp gaze sweeping across the room. His presence alone sent a chill through the air.
But when his eyes landed on Selina, warmth flickered within them. "What are you doing here?"
Selina clenched her jaw. He actually dares to ask why Iâm here?
Logan is out drinking with Angelica, but IâM the unreasonable one for showing up?!
But the moment she caught sight of Angelicaâs expression, a thought sparked in her mind.
She suddenly stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Loganâs, her voice soft and aggrieved.
"Logan, of course, I came to take you home. But the moment I walked in, I heard your friends talking about me..." She cast an innocent glance around the room. "It seems like they have quite a few opinions about me."
Loganâs Adamâs apple bobbed slightly. He knew she was acting, but he still found himself coaxing her. "Ignore them."
Angelica watched the two whispering to each other, an uncontrollable bitterness surging within her. She discreetly shot Taylor a look.
Taylor immediately smirked. "Logan, we donât have anything against Mrs. Reid. Itâs just that youâve been hiding her too well. You got married and never even introduced her to usâwe thought your marriage was just for show."
Selina narrowed her eyes.
Angelicaâs green tea tactics werenât stopping, huh?
She tightened her grip around Loganâs arm and spoke before he could.
"Thatâs not Loganâs fault. Itâs not that heâs hiding me on purposeâ" She sighed dramatically, then smiled sweetly. "He just loves me too much. He treasures me so much that he wants to keep me all to himself. Thatâs all."
The room fell dead silent.
Taylor and Angelicaâs faces turned green.
Thatâs not what we meant at all!
Selina let out an exaggerated sigh. "Actually, I donât want it to be like this. Iâd love to meet Loganâs friends too, but heâs always so afraid someone will try to steal me away..."
Logan: "..."
Selina continued, her voice light and teasing. "I didnât expect to run into all of you at the bar. Perfect timing! Now we can all get acquainted, so the rumors donât spiral out of controlâthings like ârepaying a life-saving debt with marriageâ and whatnot. That would be terrible for my relationship with Logan, donât you think?"
She turned her head and flashed Logan a sweet smile. "Logan, donât you agree?"
A faint chuckle flickered in Loganâs eyes. "Mm."
Selina sighed as if just realizing something. "Oh dear, Iâve said so much all at once. My apologies! I was just too excited to share our love. I hope no one minds?"
Everyone: "..."
Sheâs already flaunted her relationshipâwhatâs the point of asking now?
Selina scanned their expressions, clearly satisfied. She then turned to Logan with a radiant smile. "Logan, letâs go home."
Loganâs gaze softened slightly. It seemed Mrs. Reid had finally cooled off.
As the two of them turned to leave, Angelicaâs face grew darker and darker. Her fists clenched tightly at her sides as she raised her voice unwillingly.
"Logan!"
Selina halted mid-step, arching a brow. "Angelica, do you still need something from Logan?"
Angelica took a deep breath, suppressing her irritation. "Logan, we share such a deep bond. It was just a casual night out for drinks, yet Selina treated it like a battlefield, making everyone uncomfortable. Donât you think sheâs being unreasonable?"
The room fell into a stunned silence.
Did Angelica just say Mrs. Reid was being unreasonable?
Not just anyone would have the audacity to say such a thing to Mr. Reidâs face...
But Angelica was differentâshe was his savior, after all.
Selina tilted her head slightly, her gaze drifting toward Logan.
The manâs expression remained calm, his eyes unreadable. At Angelicaâs words, he finally lifted his gaze, his voice indifferent. "Is that so?"
Angelica bit her lip. "Weâre just friends. Even if there were something more between us, that still wouldnâtâ"
"I donât think Selina did anything wrong," Logan interrupted, his tone as steady as ever. He paused briefly before his gaze swept coldly across the room, sharp as a blade.
"If Selina felt she had to be on guard... perhaps itâs time you all reflect on what exactly you did to make her feel that way."
Angelicaâs face turned deathly pale in an instant.
Her entire body trembledâshe hadnât expected Logan to dismiss her so outright, to not even spare her the slightest dignity.
The rest of the group subtly shrank back, their stomachs twisting with unease.
What had they done?
They had openly cheered for Angelica to kiss Logan...
If Mr. Reid knew about that, wouldnât they be doomed?
Everyone had assumed that Angelica was truly special to Loganâthat she was someone he cherished. Thatâs why they had spoken so freely, trying to curry favor with him.
But now... it was painfully clear.

Without sparing another glance at the room, Logan shrugged off his suit jacket and draped it over Selinaâs shoulders. "Letâs go."
Angelica watched them walk away, her fists clenched so tightly her nails dug into her palms. Her teeth gnashed together in pure hatred.
Selina!
She couldnât wait any longer. She had to ruin Selinaâright now.
Outside the bar, Logan led Selina to the car, opened the door, and eased her into the backseat before sliding into the driverâs seat himself.
Selina propped her chin on her hand, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "Logan, you drank at the bar, yet youâre still driving? Thatâs not very responsible of you."

Selina blinked in exaggerated surprise. "Really? Your life-saving angel invited you out for drinks, and you didnât even have a sip? How rude of you."
