Chapter 201: Logan, the Man Who Sees Through Everything Banquet Hall Center.
Everyone was completely stunned by this unexpected turn of events.
Shareholder Taylor had been bribed by Angelica. The plagiarism was real, and so was the false accusation. They did all of this just to secure the inheritance rights to Clark Group...
Only Selina had been schemed against and slandered from beginning to end. If it hadnât been for Damien, what would have happened to her?
"The true heiress of the Clark Family... how tragic."
"Iâve really seen it all now. The entire Clark Family is shameless. And Angelicaâsheâs a public figure! A celebrity! Yet she still had the audacity to frame her own sister?"
"Mr. Clark must have known. Thereâs no way he wasnât aware of what would happen to Selina after being kicked out and accused of plagiarism. He never intended for her to survive!"
Jamesâ face turned red with anger, a wave of dizziness washing over him. "Youâre talking nonsense... I am Selinaâs fatherâ"
"Father? My ass! You donât deserve to say that word!"
"But with everything thatâs happened... does this mean Damien will still go through with the collaboration?"
Selina ran a hand through her hair. "Dad, I originally planned to introduce Clark Group to Brown Group out of familial consideration. But you chose to believe your stepdaughter over me... sigh."
She let out a dramatic sigh before turning to Damien. "Mr. Brown, Iâll just work with you directly. After all, Iâve already been kicked out of Clark Group."
Damien smiled. "Alright then. Mr. Clark, Iâll be taking my leave."
Selina arched an eyebrow and casually walked out of the banquet hall with Damien.
"Angelica!" A furious voice from the crowd erupted. A shareholder could no longer hold back his rage. "You swore youâd secure Brown Groupâs collaboration, but now the deal is in someone elseâs hands!"
"We never should have trusted you! All you know how to do is set people up! You practically shoved Damien away from us!"
"If we had just backed the rightful heiress from the beginning... Look at her now, becoming a valued partner of Brown Group, while someone else is getting publicly humiliated for plagiarism!"
Angelicaâs face turned red, then pale.
No. No... she hadnât lost. She couldnât have lost!
Why had Damien chosen Selina? Why?!
She was the celebrity. She was the acclaimed designer. She couldnât afford to be branded a plagiarist. She would not let this ruin her!
"Angelica! Angelica?!"
"Somebody help! Angelica just fainted!"
...
The banquet hall descended into chaos. Meanwhile, Damien led Selina to a quiet corner without any cameras, studying her from head to toe.
"It looks like youâve been doing well."
Selina hummed in amusement. "Of course. Watching the Clark Family crash and burn? Itâs been refreshing."
"Angelica has a strong fan base. What happened today wonât completely destroy her reputation. And from what Iâve heard, she saved Loganâs life four years ago. What do you think? Will he step in to help her?"
Selina frowned. "Do you have to say things that ruin my mood?"
Logan, who had just approached, raised an eyebrow at that comment.
Damien showed no mercy. "Iâm just being realistic. You know how manipulative that woman is."
Selina thought for a moment. "I donât think Logan is stupid. A life-saving debt doesnât mean he has to sacrifice his entire life for her."
Loganâs lips curved slightly. Should he be thanking Mrs. Reid for having faith in his intelligence?
Damien shrugged. "Do you need my help moving forward? The international design competition is coming up. Angelica keeps claiming to be a student of âStar.â So, what do you say? Should the real âStarâ make an appearance and expose her fraud?"
Back when Selina was overseas, she had casually registered an account under the name "Star" and submitted a design. That one design skyrocketed to first place in the international competition.
With each passing year, her works continued to dominate, and soon, "Star" became a legend in the design world.
But nobody knew... that "Star" was actually a young woman.
Selinaâs eyes sparkled with amusement. "Of course. But now isnât the right time. My real identity as âStarââletâs keep that under wraps for now, because..."
"Mrs. Reid is interested in âStarâ as well?"
A deep, indifferent male voice suddenly interrupted Selina mid-sentence.
Selina immediately choked on air, coughing violently. "..."
fгeewÑbnoѵel.cÏm When did Logan get here?!
Did... did he hear anything just now?
Loganâs gaze flickered slightly, a teasing smile playing on his lips. "I happened to hear something about âStarâ just now, so I got a little curious."
Selina stammered, "Ah, y-yeah... Damien, let me introduce you. This isâ"
"Mr. Reid, a pleasure." Damien extended his hand. "We meet again."
A flicker of something unreadable crossed Loganâs eyes. "Indeed, it has been a long time. I didnât expect Mr. Brown to be in City A."
Selina blinked. "Wait... you two know each other?"
Years ago, Damien had encountered someone from the Reid Family and witnessed a dramatic family feud. Back then, Logan had just returned to the Reid Familyâthe most humiliating period of his life. He had crawled his way up from the dirt, yet his eyes had always held the sharp glint of a wolf.
Now, a decade later, that same Logan had become the renowned head of the Reid Family.
Logan spoke indifferently, "We met once by chance. If Mr. Brown has nothing else, Iâll be taking Selina home now."
Selina blinked. "Damien, Iâm heading home. Be careful on the way back, donât let your fans spot you, or youâll cause another traffic jam."
As Damien watched them walk away, his eyes narrowed.
He turned to his assistant. "Logan was here the whole time?"
"Yes," the assistant confirmed. "As soon as Miss Selina arrived, Mr. Reid followed. He was watching from the audience the entire time."
Damien raised an eyebrow. "I helped Selina, and he wasnât even the least bit jealous?"
The assistant hesitated before saying, "I overheard Mr. Reid talking to his assistant, Jack. From their conversation, it seemed like he already knew about your relationship with Miss Selina."
How odd.
Logan... knew Selina that well?
...
Inside the Car.
Selina had just buckled up when she heard Logan ask, "Would you be interested in collaborating with Reid Group on your coupleâs brooch design?"
She tilted her head. "You want to sign a contract with me?"
Loganâs smile didnât waver. "Mhm. Your designs are very unique."
"But doesnât Reid Group already have its own designers?"
Logan lowered his gaze slightly, as if luring a certain little fox into a trap.
"Recently, two designers resigned. Our design department is looking for replacements. Aside from you, there are two other candidatesâone of them is Angelica."
Selina nearly jumped out of her seat. "Angelica?!"
Logan, unfazed by her irritation, continued, "However, given her recent plagiarism scandal, sheâs no longer an option."
Selina puffed up in frustration. "Youâre not blaming me for exposing her, are you? What about the other candidate?"
Loganâs tone was unreadable. "The other one, naturally, is the renowned designer Star. Between the two, who do you think is more suitable?"

ï¤Chapter 200: A Sweeping Victory Selina huffed. "Do you even need to ask? Of course, itâs Star!"
What kind of taste did Logan have? Heâd already considered hiring her, yet he was still debating between her and Angelica? Was he blind?!
"Oh? And why is that?" Loganâs voice took on a dangerously seductive lilt. "Star is hard to recruit. She may not be willing to join Reid Group."
Selina coughed. "How would you know if you donât try asking her?"
A faint smirk tugged at Loganâs lips.
Selina, without missing a beat, proceeded to shamelessly praise herself.
"Star has won countless awards over the years. Sheâs easily the most prestigious designer of her generation. Not only is she incredibly talented, but sheâs also humble and approachable. If you sincerely invite her, sheâll definitely consider it!"
"Sheâs a one-of-a-kind genius. Angelica? Sheâs nowhere near her level!"
Loganâs smirk deepened. "Got it. Iâll go invite her, then."
Selina beamed, satisfied.
Then, in the next moment, she heard Logan chuckle and ask, "So, Miss Star... would you be willing to join Reid Group?"
Selina: "..."
Selina: "??"
Wait, what did he just say?!
Did he just call her Star?!
Logan... had known about her identity all along?!
Selina was utterly stunned, still trying to process this shocking revelation, when Loganâs deep voice slowly followed upâ
