Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 368

Chapter 368: Under Intense Interrogation

James blurted out instinctively, "Angelica went there for a vacation..."

Logan cut in mildly, "The eastern outskirts of City H have always been a barren wasteland. Never developed for tourism. Whether it was four years ago or now, there’s nothing scenic about that place."

James realized immediately he’d said the wrong thing. He started shaking.

No. Angelica had worked too hard to replace Selina as Logan’s so-called savior—he couldn’t let the truth come out now.

"Actually... actually it was a mistake. Angelica was misled by her manager. The manager took her out there! Later Angelica begged us not to make it public out of loyalty for years of working together..."

"So what you’re saying is, Angelica was in the outskirts because of her manager?"

James nodded frantically, "Yes—yes, that’s it!"

Logan interrupted smoothly, "Mr. Clark, perhaps even you don’t realize—you unconsciously twirl your fingers when you lie."

James froze in place, throat tightening.

Logan casually loaded a bullet into the chamber.

"Second question. Does Mr. Clark know who Joe was really looking for when he set out to find his biological daughter?"

James trembled all over, face stiffening. "It—it was Angelica, who else could it be?"

"Looks like Mr. Clark won’t give up until he hits a dead end." Logan gave a soft laugh. "Joe’s wife was named Victoria. You mean to say you had no idea?"

James’s eyes widened in fear. Logan... found out?!

"Or let me put it another way," Logan said, enunciating clearly, "Did the Clark Family deliberately conceal the truth from Joe—for Angelica’s sake?"

James stared at the black muzzle, his body going limp in terror. What should he do?!

Jack spoke up, "Mr. Clark, I suggest you start talking. You stepped foot into Sapphire Valley Villa—getting out again won’t be easy. You’re smart enough to get what I mean."

He meant—if James didn’t give Logan a satisfying answer, he might not make it out alive?!

James suddenly recalled a rumor—that there was a prison beneath the villa, four floors underground. Once you went in, you never came out...

"Seems Mr. Clark is determined to take Angelica’s secrets to the grave. A devoted father indeed."

Logan blew on the gun barrel. "Don’t worry, Mr. Clark. This time next year, I’ll be sure to light incense in your memory—"

"NO! Please, no!"

With a loud thud, James dropped to his knees and scrambled to Logan’s feet in a panic. freēwēbnovel.com

"No! It wasn’t like that! Angelica isn’t Victoria’s daughter—Joe got the wrong person! It was Katie! Katie told Angelica to pretend to be the Morris Family heiress—I didn’t know anything! I swear!"

Logan sneered, "Then tell me, Mr. Clark—do you know who the real Morris heiress is?"

James felt something hard press against his temple. He trembled uncontrollably.

"Yes, I know—it’s Selina. Selina is Joe’s real daughter... But the Morris Family already publicly acknowledged Angelica! Grandma Morris doesn’t like Selina... I didn’t let Selina go back to protect her—"

Logan placed his finger on the trigger.

"Tell. The. Truth."

"That IS the truth—it’s the truth—no, wait, wait!"

James shrieked in terror. A foul stench suddenly filled the room—he’d wet himself in fear, scared senseless by a man much younger than himself.

But faced with that gun, cowardly and clinging to life, he couldn’t hide anything anymore.

"It was... No—Katie. Katie and Angelica knew Selina was the real Morris heiress years ago! They’ve been planning to steal her identity since ten years ago!"

"All the documents Joe saw were edited by Angelica. She had me forge records. She promised me that once she officially became the Morris heiress, she’d help Clark Family get a partnership..."

Logan had heard enough. He lowered the gun. James collapsed, limp with fear.
