Chapter 341: Left and Right Guardians A wave of commenters, claiming to feel sorry for Angelica, swarmed Selinaâs Twitter feed.
"Angelicaâs going through a lot. As a fellow woman, canât you have some compassion? She only targeted you because Katie manipulated her. Katieâs in jail now, so you two should make peace!"
"Yeah, those scumbags from the Clark family canât touch you anymore. Canât you just let Angelica go?"
"Selina, if Angelica loses this baby, sheâll never be able to be a mother. How can you live with that? Are you even a woman?"
"Letâs be honest, Angelica and Mr. Reid had an engagement first. Youâre the one who came in between them. Now you want her baby gone? Please âyouâre just the legal wife. Whatâs there to be smug about? Illegitimate children have inheritance rights too. Angelica is the real wife-to-be now. You should step aside."
Selina: "..."
Had these people never gone to school? What kind of logic gymnastics were required to type that with a straight face?
The dynasty was long gone, yet here they were proudly volunteering to be someoneâs concubine, as if it were noble.
Just looking at the comments was an insult to her intelligence.
She closed Twitter. There was no point arguing onlineâit wouldnât solve anything. What she needed was proof.
Proof that Angelica wasnât pregnant.
Ding ding ding.
Her phone rang.
It was an unknown number. Selina raised an eyebrow and answered.
Danielâs voice came through.
"Selina, I assume youâve heard. Angelicaâs baby is the firstborn of the Reid familyâthereâs no way weâre letting it go. But considering youâre still Loganâs legal wife, Iâm willing to compromise. Come to the Reid estate tomorrow and weâll talk."
Selina let out a soft chuckle. "And what does Chairman Reid want to âdiscussâ?"
Daniel, feigning generosity, replied, "I originally wanted you to divorce Logan immediately, but Chairman Morris asked us to speak with you first.
Angelica is the Morris heiress. She needs a proper title."
"If you want to stay with Logan, youâll have to divorce him and stay on as a mistress. If you donât want that, then just leave. Itâs your call."
Selina let out a cold laugh.
Oh? Should she be grateful then? Grateful that the chairman wasnât just kicking her out but instead offering her two utterly degrading choices? How generous.
She hung up and blocked the number.
But still... she would go to the Reid estate.
"Iâll go with you."
Selina turned to see Logan standing behind her.
"You heard that?" she asked.
"It was hard not to, with he shouting like that," Logan said with a nod. "Selina, that child has nothing to do with me. Iâve only ever cared about you. Iâve never touched anyone else."
Selinaâs ears turned slightly red. "..."
Yeah, well... considering how thoroughly he had "expressed" himself last night, it was hard to imagine him having the energy for anyone else.
...
The next day, a Reid family car pulled up outside Sapphire Valley Villa.
The Reid familyâs butler came personally. Luke found out what was happening and insisted on going with Selinaâno way was he letting her go to the Reid estate alone. He climbed right into the passenger seat.
The butlerâs throat tightened. "Young Master Luke, Iâm here to pick up Miss Clark."
"Miss Clark? Are you kidding me? Thatâs the young madam! Youâve worked for the Reid family for decades and you still donât know that? Loganâs the young master, so his wife is the young madam!"
Luke rattled on like a machine gun. "And you called me âYoung Master,â didnât you? So I canât ride in my own familyâs car now? Is that what my dad told you to say?"
The butler disliked this playboy of a young master, but he had no choice. He couldnât exactly throw Luke out of the car.
Fortunately, Selina still came.
She carried a small purse and got straight into the carâonly to find that Logan had climbed in as well.
The butlerâs temple twitched. He had a bad feeling. This wasnât what Chairman Reid had instructed. If Logan was present, it would be impossible to pressure Selina.
"Sir, the chairman only invited Miss Clark to talk..."
Loganâs gaze turned cold. "Sounds like you didnât understand what Luke just said."
The butlerâs lips twitched. "Yes, the chairman asked me to bring the young madam back to the estate. But you..."
Logan replied evenly, "Youâre overthinking. Iâm not going back to see my father."
Luke clicked his tongue. "Seriously, why are you talking so much? Logan wants to go home and needs a butlerâs permission now? At the last shareholdersâ meeting, wasnât he still the head of the Reid family? What, he canât even ride in your car anymore?"
"...Of course not. Thatâs not what I meant."
The butler clenched his teeth in silence, fuming inside. Who does this unwanted "illegitimate son" think he is? But it was Loganâhe didnât dare say a word out loud. Especially not with Luke keeping an eye on himâhe couldnât even send a warning message to Daniel.
Soon, they arrived at the Reid family estate. As the butler tried to make a call, Luke tugged him back. "Where you going? Youâre coming with us to see my dad."
The butler: "..." All I wanted to do was send a heads-up. Why is this so hard?!
...
Meanwhile, in the sitting room.
Amelia frowned. "Why is there anything to even talk about with Selina? Why is Chairman Morris insisting on her opinion? What, if Selina refuses to divorce, Joeâs going to let his own daughter suffer?"
"Maybe theyâre negotiating terms," Daniel replied.
Amelia snorted. "Fine. When Selina gets here, Iâll put her in her place. Sheâ"
"Mrs. Reid wants to put me in my place? Have me step aside for Angelica? No wonderâa mistress raised to the main seat would know all about following the process."
Selina walked right in, cutting Amelia off. Her eyes swept the room, surprised not to see Angelica or Joe there.
Amelia was about to explodeâuntil she saw Logan enter behind Selina. Her face dropped instantly. "What are you doing here?!"
Logan ignored her completely and walked into the room without sparing Amelia or Daniel a glance.
Daniel suddenly remembered the last shareholdersâ meeting. Logan had worn that same emotionless expressionâas if he werenât looking at his father but a disposable opponent.
That look made Daniel recall the fact that heâd been beaten by his son, and fury surged inside him.
Fine. In the company, Logan held the reinsâDaniel couldnât touch him. But in this house, he was the patriarch. Logan was just his son. Disciplining him was his right!
"Logan, grown your wings now? You think you can ignore me?"
Logan paused, his tone flat. "My retinas are functioning fine. I see you just fineâno need to worry."
Selina: "..."
Your dadâs about to blow a gasket, and Iâm pretty sure thatâs not what he meant.
Daniel clenched his jaw, his hand trembling. "Y-You... I only invited Selina!"
He turned on who he thought was the weaker targetâSelina. "Come upstairs. I need to speak with you."
Before Selina could move, Logan lazily lifted his eyes, a cold smile on his lips.
"If youâve got something to say, say it here. With your reputation for messing around, Iâm not comfortable letting you be alone with my wife."

Selina nearly spat out her drink. "..."
