Chapter 312: Your Life Isnât Worth a Dime Jack immediately went to check and returned a few minutes later.
"Sir, Madam Nelson and Miss Nancy together own twelve luxury vehicles. Also, Mr. Hunter has no assets registered under his name in the Nelson Family."
Madam Nelsonâs heart skipped a beat. "Logan..."
Logan completely ignored her, his voice calm and unbothered. "Good. Tow them here. Let my wife smash them for fun."
Smash them for fun?!
Madam Nelsonâs face changed dramatically. She blurted out, "Logan, some of those cars were brought over by Hunterâ"
"But theyâre not under Hunterâs name, are they?"
Logan looked at her slowly, voice still light.
"Hunter is my friend. These cars belong to others. I donât owe them anything."
Madam Nelsonâs throat locked up. She forced a strained smile. "But Logan... no matter what, weâre still Hunterâs family. If word gets out that youâre turning on his relatives over a woman, what will people say?"
"We took Hunter in when he had nothing. Youâre his friend. You wouldnât want to hurt himâ"
"Did Madam Nelson receive nothing in return for raising Hunter?"
Selinaâs voice cut in smoothly.
"Hunter brought Nelson Family to new heights, expanded your business overseas, introduced you to Logan. All you gave him was a plate of food, and he returned it a thousandfold. And you still want to use him?"
"Because Logan is friends with Hunter, he has to tolerate everyone in the Nelson Family now?"
Madam Nelson fumed. "Clark, this is between me and Logan. Itâs not your place to speakâ"
"Not my place? Madam Nelson, Iâm Mrs. Reid. Logan and I are husband and wife. His business is mine. Why canât I speak?"
Selinaâs tone sharpened.
She hated this kind of hypocrisy.
What did the Nelsons have to do with Logan anyway? Leeching off Hunter wasnât enoughânow they wanted to latch onto Logan too?
Madam Nelson took a few deep breaths, unable to understand why Selina was being so "unreasonable."
"Itâs just a few plants. Why escalate things this far? You already smashed a car, isnât that enough? If people hear about this, what will they think of you two?"
"And why should I care what others think?"
Selinaâs words were cold and clear.
"Madam Nelson keeps accusing me of being petty. But letâs talk facts."
"Did or did not Miss Nancy drive into the backyard, ignoring Miller Butlerâs warning?"
"Did or did not she knowingly destroy the garden that belongs to the lady of Sapphire Valley Villa?"
"Did or did not she act like she owns this place just because Logan is Hunterâs friend?"
Madam Nelson was trembling with rage. "You... youâre being outrageous!"
"All right then," Selina said with a cold smile. "If Iâm already being outrageous, I may as well commit to it."
She turned to Jaxon.
"Send someone over immediately to smash those cars."
Jaxon nodded calmly. "Yes, Madam."
Nancy snapped.
She shrieked, her voice breaking, "Selina! Youâre evil! All this over a few plants?! With Riley and Loganâs relationship, we could kill you and get away with it, and youâre losing it overâ"
Her voice cut off.
Nancyâs furious expression froze.
A gun was pressed to her temple.
The cold steel made her feel like she had fallen into an ice pit.
Loganâs expression didnât change.
He was still smiling. He didnât even look at her.
His voice was soft, but it sent chills through everyone present.
"Miss Nelson, what was that you just said?"
"Who did you say youâd kill?"
Nancy let out a sharp scream. "Ahhh!"
What was that?! That was a gun!
Loganâs expression remained casual, as if they were discussing the weather.
"Miss Nelson said it was just a few plants. So destroying them was no big deal. But now, it sounds like my wifeâs life isnât worth much either... is that right?"
He smiled faintly.
"And if her life is worthless in your eyes... well, I suppose I feel the same about yours."
Nancy trembled violently. A chill swept up her spine as her knees gave out and she collapsed to the ground.
"I... I..."
Madam Nelson couldnât just watch Nancy get killed.
"Logan, youâve misunderstood. Thatâs not what we meant, we justâ"
"Miss Nelson," Selina interrupted lightly, tilting her head with a curious smile. "Thereâs something Iâve been wondering..."
She leaned down slightly.
"Donât the Nelsons know who Logan is? What gave you the courage to cause trouble in Sapphire Valley Villa of all places?"
She tapped her chin, feigning thoughtfulness.
"Hunterâs always been proper. Heâd never allow his family to act out in his friendâs home."
Her tone dropped.
"So if it wasnât Hunter... then could it beâ"
Selina paused, then gave a little gasp of realization.
"Riley?"
Madam Nelson paled instantly. Her face turned ghost white in an instant.
Loganâs eyes narrowed, clearly noting the reaction.
Selina casually smoothed her hair, then glanced at Nancy.
"Miss Nancy, am I right?"
Nancy knewâshe absolutely could not admit it.
But...
But Riley had said those things. She remembered it all clearly now.
Before she came here, Riley had reassured herâ
"Donât worry, Nancy. Logan and I have been friends for years. No matter what mistake you make, heâll forgive youâfor me."
"Selina? Oh, Selinaâs my friend too. I just feel bad for her sometimes. She married into Sapphire Valley Villa all alone... must be so lonely."
"Sheâs the lady of the house, yes, but... I think the staff might still listen to me more. Just saying, if I were the one getting ignored, Iâd be sad too..."
Nancy went ice cold.
One sentence at a time, the memories clicked into place.

ï¤Chapter 311: A Failed Attempt to Sow Discord Riley hadnât said anything explicitly wrong.
But everything she said had painted a pictureâone where Selina had no standing, no respect, no real voice in her own home.
While Riley? Riley was close to Logan. Riley was safe. Riley was untouchable.
Thatâs why Nancyâknowing full well those herbs were Selinaâsâhad driven over them without hesitation.
Selinaâs voice cut through the tension again, light but unyielding.
"Not answering, Miss Nelson?"
Madam Nelson jumped in quickly.
"Clark, this has nothing to do with RileyâNancyâs immaturity doesnât reflect on her cousinâ"
"Madam Nelson," Selina cut her off with icy precision, "I asked Miss Nelson. Is this how the Nelsons raise their childrenâinterrupting when someone else is speaking?"
Selina stepped forward again, locking eyes with Nancy.
"So, Miss Nelson... before you came here, are you sure no one spoke to you?"
The gun was still pressed to Nancyâs temple.
She shook violently, and thenâ
Almost against her will, she blurted out, "It was Rileyâ!"
"Nancy? Whatâs going on? Logan... whatâs happening here?"
A gentle, surprised voice rang out before Nancy could finish.
