Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 323

Chapter 323: Collaboration

Angelica’s eyes glinted with malice.

Just wait, Selina. I’ll make sure you’re completely ruined.

The higher you’re lifted, the harder you fall.

Outside the Reid Group building, Angelica let a single tear fall—on purpose.

Kyle’s heart ached at the sight.

"It’s fine if Logan won’t work with you. Morris Family will support you no matter what."

Angelica covered her lips and whispered, "I just... liked him. Sorry, I lost control. He belongs to Selina now, I shouldn’t have hoped for anything... But I met him first."

Kyle clenched his fist slowly.

Yeah. Angelica saved Logan. She met him first. Yet in the end, Selina was the one who married him.

If Selina really was the rightful daughter of Morris Family, then giving Angelica that identity as compensation didn’t seem wrong. After all, Selina already took Angelica’s man—letting Angelica have the family instead? Seemed fair.

Kyle took a deep breath.

"Angelica, I’ve got money too. I’ll invest in your next design."

Angelica leaned against him weakly.

"Thank you... brother."

After Kyle left, Angelica made another call.

The line picked up quickly.

"Angelica? What’s wrong?"

She asked sweetly, "Rigel, senior—has Professor Star ever had a friend named Selina?"

Rigel frowned. "Selina? Never heard of her."

Angelica smirked.

As expected—Selina had made it all up.

Rigel was Star’s direct disciple. If Selina really were close to Star, Rigel would definitely know.

Angelica sighed dramatically.

"That’s what I was afraid of. I just ran into Selina—she swore up and down that she’s Star’s friend. She’s entering the design competition too. I’m afraid she’ll start throwing Star’s name around to cheat or fake her way through and ruin her reputation..."

Rigel scoffed.

"That loser? Don’t worry. I’m on the judging panel. I’ll personally deal with her."

Angelica ended the call with a triumphant grin.

Fake Star’s friend? Hah. Selina was finished.

Back at the Reid Group office...

Selina had gotten herself worked up and rashly agreed to collaborate with Logan. Now that she’d said it out loud, she had no choice but to follow through.

She curled up on the couch like a sulking bird, waiting to sign the contract.

After looking through it for a while, something felt off.

"Wait, this isn’t a long-term agreement?"

Logan raised an eyebrow. "You wanted long-term?"

"No," she snapped, then paused. "But I thought you’d try to trap me."

The contract only covered the full rights to Star’s entry for the design competition. Everything else? She’d still be freelance.

Just as she picked up the pen to sign, her phone buzzed twice.

A notification from Twitter.

Morris Group had just bought the full rights to Angelica’s championship design from two years ago, and announced plans to launch it.

Two years ago?

Selina raised an eyebrow and clicked.

Morris Group’s official tweet read:

"While there’s debate about whether this piece deserved the win, to us it will always be one-of-a-kind."

Angelica retweeted it, adding:
