Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 324

Chapter 324: The Rigged Game

Selina felt a strange, tingling sensation in her chest.

She glanced at Angelica, not far away, surrounded by attention like a star, and said quietly, "Good."

"This time, Angelica will be utterly disgraced—and there’s no one left to take the fall for her."

Logan’s voice was calm and steady. "I understand. Go ahead."

Selina stepped out of the car. Just as she was about to head to her room, she heard a voice:

"Yeah, Selina is Star’s friend... Look, there she is!"

Selina: "..."

Fantastic. Angelica really was dancing on the edge of a landmine, clearly not dying fast enough.

She seriously wanted someone to shut her down permanently.

Angelica, as the most talked-about contestant, was swarmed by reporters.

After casually showing off how much Morris Family had invested in her, she suddenly noticed a familiar car.

She recognized it instantly—Logan’s car.

Logan actually drove Selina here himself?

Why? What made Selina worthy of that?

Angelica forced down the vicious glint in her eyes and put on a smile. "Selina, come over here. I was just singing your praises."

Selina nodded casually, clearly unfamiliar with the word "modesty."

"Oh? What were you praising me for? Let’s hear it."

...

The crowd fell into brief silence, everyone looking slightly awkward.

Apparently, they weren’t used to seeing someone so shameless. Even the reporters were caught off guard.

Angelica’s throat tightened as she forced a smile.

"I was saying you must be very talented to be Star’s friend. Unlike me—no matter how hard I try, I can only be her student."

It sounded humble, but the message was clear: Even I, Angelica, can only be Star’s student. And you’re claiming to be her friend? What a joke.

Selina casually tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, as if she didn’t hear the shade.

"Oh, then you’d better keep working hard, Angelica. Hopefully, one day you’ll be a good friend of Star’s too."

Angelica’s smile nearly cracked.

Selina had lost her mind?!

Fine—let her float. The higher she flies, the harder she falls.

Angelica smiled sweetly and said, "Yes, I’ve still got work to do. Not like you—you’re already at the finish line. I suppose the championship this time is yours, right?"

Joe had just arrived and heard this. He frowned, thinking Angelica was selling herself short. Based on her abilities, she was the champion.

But before he could speak, he saw Selina nod calmly.

"Mm-hmm, I think I’ll win too."

Angelica’s expression froze.

Selina had no shame?! Admitting in public that the trophy was hers? What an ignorant joke.

But the more arrogant Selina acted, the better—it would all come crashing down soon. Angelica had already made arrangements with Rigel. This time, Selina wouldn’t just lose—she’d be blacklisted from the entire fashion world.

Angelica smiled, "Oh, Selina, I forgot to mention—Star’s student, Mr. Rigel, will be at this competition. He has veto power. I assume you know him well? Since he’s Star’s top disciple."

Selina’s expression faltered.

Wait... Who?

Rigel... Who is that? Star’s student?

As the real Star herself, Selina had no idea who Rigel was.

Seeing the shock on Selina’s face, Angelica felt triumphant.

Clearly, Selina had been lying—Rigel’s close relationship with Star was public knowledge. If Selina didn’t even recognize the name, then she was full of it.

Ha. This was going to be good.

...

The design competition would last seven days. Each designer would be given a theme and required to create and complete a gown.
