Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 187

Chapter 187: Settling the Accounts

Wait a minute—Selina is the owner of AS Grand Hotel, so what does that make Angelica?!

Angelica’s throat tightened, a flicker of shock and frustration flashing across her face.

Zara was in complete disbelief. "Vice President, what did you just say? What’s Selina’s relation to AS Grand Hotel? Boss?!"

Vice President Wilson looked confused. "What’s the matter? Do you all know our Boss?"

Selina let out a soft chuckle. "Mmm, not only do they know me, but Angelica was kind enough to treat me to a 1.2 million meal just now~"

Angelica’s breath nearly stopped, her face turning pale with fury.

Selina is the owner of AS Grand Hotel?! She had been eating in her own restaurant this whole time and didn’t need to pay a dime—yet she let Angelica foot the bill without revealing her identity!

Gavin was growing impatient. "Vice President Wilson, I recall that AS Grand Hotel doesn’t allow full buyouts. So how did Angelica manage to ’book the entire venue’?"

Vice President Wilson quickly clarified, "Young Master Hill, there was no full buyout at all. Mr. Reid only made a reservation for two seats. These two ladies were the ones claiming it was a private booking."

Shh—

The surrounding guests immediately cast Angelica disdainful glances.

So it wasn’t a private booking? Logan had only reserved two seats? This was beyond embarrassing—it was a complete act of self-importance!

Selina blinked innocently. "Oh my, what’s going on here? I thought Mr. Reid cared about you so much. Turns out it wasn’t even a private booking?"

Angelica’s expression darkened as humiliation surged through her.

First, she found out Selina owned AS Grand Hotel, dealing her a heavy blow.

Then, it was revealed that Logan hadn’t even fully booked the place for her.

Her entire act was completely exposed!

Selina leaned in slightly, lowering her voice so only Angelica could hear. "Angelica, showing off means nothing. As long as I haven’t divorced, you’ll always be the homewrecker trying to climb the ranks. Got the guts to make it official?"

That one word—"official"—stabbed right into Angelica’s heart like a dagger.

"Selina, I’d advise you not to go too far. I don’t think you’d really want to know the extent of my past with Logan."

Selina remained indifferent. "If Logan truly had something going on with you, I’d just divorce him. Did you think I was the type to cling to a man?"

She smirked. "Oh, and Angelica, I should thank you for contributing 1.2 million grand in revenue to AS Grand Hotel."

Angelica was so furious that her chest tightened. Just as she was about to retort, her expression suddenly shifted. She quickly forced a soft, pitiful look.

"Selina, I was happy to treat you. Even if you tricked me into spending all that money, I won’t hold it against you."

Selina raised an eyebrow, wondering why Angelica was suddenly putting on an act.

Then she heard Zara exclaim loudly, "Mr. Reid? Angelica, it’s Mr. Reid!"

Selina’s back stiffened, and she turned her head—meeting Logan’s gaze in an instant.

Gavin’s heart sank.

Why did Logan have to show up now?

Angelica was an expert at playing the victim—just when Selina and Logan were in a rough spot, this was the worst possible timing.

He was about to say something when Logan had already stepped forward.

Zara, now emboldened, pouted indignantly. "Mr. Reid, thank goodness you’re here! If you were any later, Angelica would’ve been bullied to death!"

Angelica elegantly shook her head. "Zara, I already told you, I did it willingly."

"But Angelica, you’re too kind! I can’t just let this go!" Zara fumed, then turned to Logan to complain. "Mr. Reid, Selina is actually the owner of AS Grand Hotel! But she pretended to be clueless, tricked Angelica into treating her, and ordered the most expensive dishes to rip her off! She took full advantage of Angelica’s kindness!"

Logan’s gaze landed on Selina.

He hadn’t seen her all night—he had been thinking about her ever since she left.

Now, finally seeing her again, he couldn’t help but feel a wave of helplessness at her completely unfazed expression.

"How much did Angelica spend?"

Zara, thinking Logan was about to stand up for Angelica, eagerly replied, "A full 1.2 million! Mr. Reid, don’t you think that’s outrageous?!"

Selina clicked her tongue internally. Why was Logan asking that? Was he actually planning to reimburse Angelica for 1.2 million grand?

To her surprise, Logan let out a light chuckle.

"Miss Angelica, I’m curious—how exactly did Selina pretend to be pitiful and trick you into paying for her meal?"
