Chapter 214: Selina Gets Slapped What...?
Selina stood there dazed, her mind blankâuntil her lips were suddenly captured in a kiss.
"Iâ"
"Donât talk."
His lips were cool, his eyes darkened with desire, willingly lost in it.
When calm, Logan always seemed like an untouchable celestial being, aloof from all worldly matters.
But now, with his eyes tinged with red, he looked like a god pulled down into the mortal worldâby her.
He kissed her forehead, her eyes, the tip of her nose... until his gaze finally landed on her lips.
Selinaâs breathing quickened. "Arenât you going to shower? I thinkâ"
Loganâs fingers traced down her cheek, his voice soft yet firm with intent.
"Mrs. Reid, remember not to test my patience next time."
A muffled sound escaped her lips as her body gave out beneath her.

"Iâm here."
The kiss deepened, hot and demandingâand soon, Selina lost all sense of time.
...
The next morning, Selina woke in bed, memories from the night before flooding back with full force.
Beside her, Logan lay fast asleep.
The blanket was tangled, their bodies a mess of heat and memory. Her face flushed bright red.
Okayâstop. Stop thinking about it!
Selina scrambled out of bed to freshen up. She had no idea how to face Logan after what happened, so she slipped out before he woke.
In her rush, she didnât even notice the vivid mark on her neckâa bright red kiss mark.
...
Not far away, Angelica smashed a glass in fury.
That bitch actually had a hickey on her neck!
Could it be... she and Logan... last night!?
Grinding her teeth, Angelicaâs eyes gleamed with malice as she turned to her maid.
"Come here. I need you to do something for me. Go to Mrs. Butler and tell her..."
...
At the breakfast table.
Luke spotted the hickey right away and gave her a knowing look.
"Selina, good morning. So... had a fun night, huh?"
Selina: "..."
Luke clapped his hands together in mock solemnity.
"A vixen should act like a vixen. You did well! Walking in here proudly with a mark like that!"
Selina: "???"
She had no idea what Luke was getting so worked up about.
Midway through breakfast, the doors suddenly burst openâan enraged woman stormed in.
Before Selina could even react, the woman smacked her hard across the face.
Smack!
The whole room fell silent.
Lukeâs expression turned cold. Just as he stepped forward to stop the madness, the woman raised her hand for another slapâ
But Selina caught her wrist mid-air and flung it aside.
The woman, completely unprepared, fell to the ground in a heap, her expression twisted in rage.
"You home-wrecking bitch! Seducing my husband?! Iâll kill you!"
Selina stood in shock. Seducing someoneâs husband? She didnât even know who this woman wasâlet alone her husband!
The woman sobbed on the floor, howling like a lunatic.
"Look at this shameless tramp! Sleeping with every man she sees! Who raised youâwait, of course, no mother would raise a daughter like this!"
"Whatâs going on here?"
Angelicaâs concerned voice floated in, sweet and soft as ever.
"Mrs. Butler says you seduced her husband?"
She blinked innocently.
"Selina, is that true or just a misunderstanding?"
Selinaâs gaze narrowed as she looked over at Angelica.
This Mrs. Butler had come straight for her out of nowhere.
She didnât even know any Mr. Butler.
Soâ
Was this Angelicaâs doing?
A confused voice piped up from the crowd, "Wait, what? Sheâs a mistress? That canât be right... Isnât Selina Mrs. Reid?"
"Ugh, please. She might be Mrs. Reid now, but sheâs bound to get dumped sooner or later. Of course sheâd want to secure another man in advance!
Mr. Butler might not be handsome, but heâs rich. Wouldnât be surprising if she seduced him."
"Yikes... Look at that hickey on her neck. You donât think Mr. Butler gave her that, do you? Sheâs boldâcheating with another man while Mr. Reid and Luke are both here? Shameless!"
Butlerâs wife shrieked, "Selina, I saw it with my own eyes! My husband came out of your room! You filthy trampâwhat did you two do last night?!"
Angelica rushed over to help the woman up, speaking with suspicious concern, "Mrs. Butler, please calm down. If Selina really wronged you, weâll make sure justice is served."
Selina watched the two women put on their little performance and chuckled coldly.
She set down her glass, her lips curving with disdain. "Mrs. Butler, you say you saw your husband walk out of my room with your own eyes?"
The woman froze, her expression faltering with a flicker of guilt.
Truth be told, she hadnât seen it herself. She woke up that morning to find her husband missing, and not long after, Angelica urgently sent someone to say that Mr. Butler had been spotted near Selinaâs room. They even left togetherâand Selina had a visible hickey. That couldnât all be coincidence...
right?
Angelica wouldnât lie... would she?
Fueled by false confidence, Mrs. Butler snapped back, "Yes! I saw it myself!"
Selinaâs eyes narrowed. "Then tell meâwhich room was it?"
Mrs. Butler, flustered by Selinaâs calm demeanor, barked, "Room 3106!"
That was the room Angelica told her belonged to Selina!
Selina smirked. "3106? Thatâs interesting. My room was arranged by Luke himself. Why donât you ask him which room I actually stayed in?"
Lukeâs face darkened. "Mrs. Butler, youâre spewing nonsense. Selinaâs room was personally reserved by meâmy own private room. Itâs not even in the guest wing. Itâs up in the snow bamboo grove behind the mountain."
He sneered, "So tell meâdid you go up to the bamboo grove last night? Or maybe you have x-ray vision and saw your husband walking out of there from the bamboo grove?"

ï¤Chapter 213: Sharing a Room Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback ï¤Chapter 739 - 395 Bite back The bamboo grove was far from the main villaâseparated by a series of hot springs and hills.
So if what Mrs. Butler claimed were true, then Mr. Butler wouldâve had to sneak off into the guarded bamboo grove, in the middle of the night during snowfall, without anyone noticing... to find Selina?
The crowd started murmuring. Doubt flickered in their eyes.
Angelica blinked and feigned surprise. "Wait... Selina, you were in the bamboo grove last night? But I thought I saw you around ten near the guest wing..."
Her comment gave Mrs. Butler an idea. She doubled down, voice shrill, "Even if Luke arranged that room for you, whoâs to say you actually stayed there? Maybe you had two rooms! Maybe 3106 was yours too!"
Luke rolled his eyes. Is this woman for real?
He was about to call the manager to pull the room logsâwhen a sudden commotion broke out at the door.
"Mr. Butler is here!"
The man himself entered, looking confused. "Whatâs going on?"
Mrs. Butler immediately rushed at him like a hurricane, fists flying. "I caught you cheating! You lying scum!"
Mr. Butler flinched visibly. "Wh-what did you say?!"
"You slept with that whore Selina, didnât you?! What did she do to seduce you?! Donât lie to meâI know everything! You two disgust me!"
Selinaâs eyes narrowed.
Something about this wasnât adding up.
