Chapter 234: My Wife Gets Jealous Perv?
Logan raised an eyebrow, lips curling into a half-smile as he glanced at Selina.
Selina felt a sudden pang of guilt for no reason.
Waitâwhy was she feeling guilty? She hadnât done anything wrong! It was Logan who kissed her out of nowhere. He was the unreasonable one!
Reminding herself of that, she shot him a fierce glare.
Given Loganâs status, as soon as he returned, the other guests straightened up immediately.
"Mr. Reid is back."
"What a coincidence. Miss Clark walked in just now, and Mr. Reid followed right after. If we didnât know better, weâd think you two planned it."
Selina choked, about to respondâ
But then someone spoke hesitantly: "Uh... Mr. Reid... is it just me, or are your lips kinda... swollen too?"
Selinaâs internal alarm blared.
Oh no.
Please donât tell me they figured it out.
If people found out what just happened between her and Logan in the lounge...
That would be the end of her dignity.
She rushed to change the subject. "I thinkâ"
"Maybe that perv swings both ways!"
She and someone else spoke at the same time.
Logan chuckled softly.
Selina: "..."
Everyone suddenly turned to look straight at Loganâs lips.
Logan, as composed as ever, didnât seem fazed at all. "Just an allergic reaction. No need to worry."
The guest immediately relaxed. "Ah, I see... Allergies. That makes sense. I mean, no matter how bold that perv was, he wouldnât dare harass Mr.
Reid."
"Right, rightâwe were definitely overthinking it..."
The room went quiet again, but whispers started to circulate.
"Just allergies? God, I really thought Mr. Reid and Miss Clark were secretly hooking up or something..."
"Shh! Keep your voice down. Do you have a death wish?!"
"Hey, my theory actually makes sense, alright? Mr. Reid left first. Then Miss Clark. They were the only two missing from the whole party. And now theyâre backâboth with swollen lips. Tell me thatâs not suspicious."
"I mean, sure... but itâs Logan weâre talking about."
Someone quickly tried to move things along. "Alright, alright, everyoneâs here now. Letâs get the banquet started."
This was a high-end event, so each table had multiple serversâtall, well-dressed, and carefully selected for looks and grace.
One young woman, probably around twenty, wore a fitted uniform and carried a premium bottle of red wine. She smiled politely.
"Guests, may I pour some wine for you?"
"Absolutely!"
"Of course!"
She made her way around the table with elegant, practiced movements. But when she reached Loganâs side, she froze in surprise.
"Mr. Reid?! Youâre here too?"
She knows Logan?
Everyoneâs curiosity was immediately piqued. All eyes turned toward them.
Selina paused, her fingers tightening slightly as she looked up.
Waitress looked genuinely delighted. She bit her lip shyly, voice soft and sweet.
"Mr. Reid... I didnât expect to see you here. Thank you for helping me the other night. I still donât know how to properly repay you..."
The room fell into silence.
Logan narrowed his eyes, giving her a long, slow once-over.
"I helped you?"
Her eyes, soft as blooming peach blossoms, suddenly filled with hurt.
"You donât remember me? The night before yesterday, I was being forced to drink by a guest, and you stepped in to save me. Iâve been wanting to thank you ever since..."
Selinaâs chest suddenly tightened with a weird, numb ache.
Jacob leaned closer and whispered in her ear, voice laced with implication:
"The night before yesterday? Miss Clark, werenât you still in the middle of a fight with Logan then? Interesting that he had time to be out rescuing someone else..."
Selinaâs lips tightened into a firm line.
Jacob glanced at Logan again, voice full of implication. "Logan, I didnât realize you had so many admirers. Truly enviable. Donât you think so, Miss Clark?"
Selina bit her tongue, but couldnât help herself. Her tone was cutting.
"Oh, absolutely. No wonder heâs City Aâs most eligible bachelorâeveryoneâs dying to get a piece."
Logan calmly looked at her lips. Selina stiffened slightly.
Without even glancing at the server, and in a tone utterly devoid of emotion, Logan said, "Sorry. I donât know you."
The serverâs eyes instantly filled with tears, big fat drops falling down her cheeks.
"Mr. Reid, you really donât remember me? I just wanted to repay you. Nothing else. Iâd even be your maid if youâd let me. Please, give me a chance to take care of you..."
She paused, eyes glinting with suggestion.
"I mean anythingâpersonal care, or... any other kind of request you might have."
Everyone looked around at each other, stunned.
She wasnât even being subtle. The word gold-digger was practically stamped across her forehead.
Selina was about to explode.
First Bella, then Angelica, and now some random server?!
How did Logan manage to attract every shameless woman in a five-mile radius?
Loganâs rejection was cool and simple.
"If you want to repay me, you can donate. Jack."
Jack stepped forward. "Miss, hereâs the Reid Groupâs charity fund account. You can transfer any amount youâd like to help rural children. I believe Mr.
Reid would prefer that over having you as his maid."
The server: "..."
Still not giving up, she pleaded with teary eyes, "Mr. Reid, I already donate every year. But that doesnât mean I canât stay by your side. I just want to take care of you. Please... let me go home with you..."
Selina was fuming.
She couldnât even eat anymore. Jealousy bubbled over like acid in her chest.
If Logan didnât shut this down right now, she was going toâ
Logan turned and gave the woman a long, calm look.
There was no anger in his expression, but something in his eyes made the serverâs blood run cold.
"No," he said simply. "My wife would get jealous."
The entire room went silent.
The server bit her lip. "But... your wifeâs not even here. If you leave with me nowâ"
"Who said sheâs not here?"
Logan spoke slowly, then turned his gaze toward the very girl drowning in jealousy.
He stood up, walked straight to Selina, andâto everyoneâs shockâgrabbed her by the wrist.
His voice held a hint of satisfaction and amusement.
"Done watching the show? Letâs go."
Selina was too stunned to react. She stumbled, and before she knew it, Logan had wrapped an arm around her waist and was walking her out.
Everyone: "..."
What the hell just happened? Did Mr. Reid just... take Clark Miss away?
And what did he say before that?
"Who said my wife isnât here"... and then walked straight to Selina?
Waitâdid that mean...
One person turned to look at Jacob. Then another. And another.
"HissâSelina is Mrs. Reid?!"
"I thought she was Jacobâs fiancée?!"
"The aristocratic circle is too chaotic..."

It wasnât until the door slammed that she snapped out of it.
"Logan! Where are you taking me? The partyâs not even over!"
"Home."
He gave Jack a nod to start the car, tone lazy but firm.
"No more parties, Mrs. Reid. If weâd stayed any longer, someone was about to drown in their own jealousy."
