Chapter 303: Pissed Off? Do Something About It At this point, if the kid still couldnât figure it out, he had no one to blame but himself.
The whole Rowan identity...
Logan narrowed his eyes. It wasnât that he couldnât tell her, but doing so would open a can of worms.
One reason was to avoid causing Selina trouble.
The other... was that the investigation wasnât complete yet. The fewer people who knew Rowanâs real identity, the better.
Still, it wouldnât be long now.
A subtle hint wouldnât hurtâbetter than letting her be completely blindsided later.
Selina blinked, then suddenly gasped as a realization hit her.
"You..."
Logan raised an eyebrow. Had she figured it out?
Selina said firmly, "You found out the design competition was rotten on the inside and used that to your advantage!"
The more she thought about it, the more sense it made.
The competition committee looked united on the surface, but behind the scenes it was full of backstabbing and filth. Everyone was eager to drag someone else down.
Ellis had hogged the lead judge position for yearsâplenty of people hated him.
If Logan offered them something in return, of course someone would bite.
Logan: "..."
Not exactly wrong.
"Mrs. Reidâs pretty sharp."
"Of course I am. If I werenât, how would I have seen through Katieâ"
Knock knock.
Selina was cut off mid-sentence by a knock at the door, followed by Joeâs low voice from outside.
"Mr. Reid, Iâd like to speak with you."
Selina looked up instinctively.
Joe? What for?
A flash of coldness flickered in Loganâs eyes.
"If Chairman Morris has something to say, he can say it right there at the door."
"Mr. Reid, is this how you treat your guests? I need to speak with you privately. Kindly ask Selina to step out."
Joeâs tone was sourâhe still blamed Selina for what Angelica was going through.
Loganâs expression darkened.
"Show him out."
Selina leaned on her hand, casually spinning a finger.
"Oh, donât be like that. If Chairman Morris has something important to say, then go aheadâIâll take a walk."
She opened the door and met Joeâs eyes directly.
"By the way, Mr. Morris... hospitality depends on the guest. If someone shows up uninvited and tries to kick the hostess out of her own room, thatâs not a guest. Thatâs a freeloader."
"But Iâm easygoing, so Iâll let it slide. Go on then."
She had her own suspicions to confirm with Angelica, and itâd be easier without Joe around.
Joeâs face twisted, but he knew he was in the wrong. He took a deep breath and said stiffly, "Mr. Reid, then Iâll get to the pointâ"
...
Outside, Selina looked around.
After checking with Luke, she found out Angelica was still in her lounge. She headed straight there.
"Thereâs no surveillance in Angelicaâs lounge, right?"
Luke was confused. "Nope. Sheâs always on about privacy. Not a single camera in there."
Selina nodded calmly. "Good."
Luke suddenly tensed up.
"Youâre going to her? Iâll come with you! That womanâs unhingedâwho knows what she might do. And thereâs no cameras thereâwhat if she tries to hit you? No way, Iâm going withâ"
He stopped short.
Selina had pulled out the hammer.
Luke stared, mildly horrified. "That thing again? Kinda tacky, but... I guess it works. Uh, what were you saying?"
He gulped and swallowed his words.
"...Never mind. Go right ahead."
When they reached Angelicaâs lounge, Selina didnât hesitateâBAM! She kicked the door open.
Angelica jumped in shock. "What are you doing?!"
Selina looked her over from head to toe.
"Huh. Even after losing your real mom, you seem to be doing just fine. Not even a hint of grief, big sis."
"Selina, are you here to laugh at me?!"
Angelica flew into a frenzy, charging forward with wild eyes. She raised her hand to slap Selina, shrieking, "You think Iâm pathetic, donât you?! You bitchâ!"
SMACK!
The sound of a hard slap cut off Angelica mid-rant.
"Laugh at you?" Selina calmly lowered her hand and replied kindly, "No. I just came here to slap you."
SMACK!
Another hitâthis time on Angelicaâs left cheek.
A sharp, stinging pain spread across her face.
Angelica was about to lose it.
How dare Selina hit her?!
"Iâm the Morris family heiress! You dared lay a hand on me?! Selina, you think Iâve lost? Iâm still going to win the competition! Iâm still Starâs student!
Who do you think you are compared to me?!"
Selina paused mid-slap, then let out a laugh.
"Youâre Starâs student? Are you sure?"
"Of course!" Angelica clung to it like a drowning person to a rope. "You know Starâs status in the design world. With her backing me, youâre nothing!"
Oh... so thatâs how it was.
She hadnât mentioned being Star herself because she wanted to stay low-key.
It wasnât to give Angelica a chanceâit was just convenience.
Selina smiled sweetly and suddenly asked, "By the way, Angelica, there arenât any cameras in here, right?"
"What are you trying to do..."
"Well," Selina said innocently, "since you just declared youâre going to destroy me, and Iâm doomed anyway, I figured I might as well return the favor."
"No cameras, huh? Thatâs awfully convenient. You werenât thinking straight, Angelica."
"Aaah!!"
Angelica was convinced nowâSelina was insane.
Just like her motherâcompletely unhinged!
"Let go of me! Youâ!"
"Angelica!"
"Selina!"
Two menâs voices rang out at once.
Logan and Joe rushed in.
Selina blinked. Huh?
What are they doing here? Iâm not even finished yet.
Angelicaâs eyes lit up as she cried, "Dad! Logan! Help meâ!"
Logan cut her off, face darkening as he pulled Selina protectively into his arms.
"You came here alone again?! Did Angelica lay a hand on you?"
Angelicaâs cries caught in her throat.
She screamed, disbelieving, "Selina hit me! She hit me! Logan, why donât you care about me?! Itâs all Selinaâ!"
Selina calmly fixed her hair.
"I hit you? Angelica, take a lookâdo you see any slap marks on your face?"
Angelica rushed to the mirrorâonly to stare in horror.
Whatâwhy?!
Her face was throbbing in pain, but there was not a single mark!
Joe frowned. "Selina, why are you confronting Angelica? She already apologized. If you really did hit herâ"

Selina turned and asked coolly, "Chairman Morris, do you think anyone would blame me if I slapped Angelica twice today?"
They wouldnât.
After all, Katie and the Clark family had targeted Selinaâfor Angelicaâs benefit.
Joe froze mid-step. He couldnât say another word.
Angelica cried harder, mascara streaking her face.
"Daddy, noâitâs not like that. I just wanted to apologize to my sisterâ"
Joeâs expression softened. "Selina, lookâ"
"Have you already forgotten what I said earlier, Chairman Morris?"
Loganâs voice cut in coldly, and Joeâs face stiffened.
The sympathy in his eyes vanished, replaced by something far more complicated.
