Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 369

Chapter 369: Striking to Kill

After Selina left, Angelica’s eyes darted with calculation.

She didn’t come here to actually talk—she came to leave behind proof: that she and Selina had met.

Angelica turned to the bodyguard, her tone sharp. "What are you standing there for? Hurry up!"

The bodyguard hesitated. "Miss Angelica..."

"I said do it! Why so much nonsense?!"

The bodyguard inhaled deeply, then stepped forward and grabbed Angelica’s wrist—twisting it hard.

"Ahhh!" Angelica screamed.

Her left hand hung limp, completely useless. Tears welled up—God, it hurt. It hurt so bad. But she had to do this. Selina had to be taken out. It was the only way.

Gritting her teeth through the pain, Angelica called Joe. "Dad... help me..."

Ten minutes later, Joe arrived at the scene, panicked at the sight of Angelica sobbing uncontrollably.

"Angelica, what happened to your hand?"

"Hospital... Dad, take me to the hospital..."

The car sped toward the nearest ER. Joe’s face was stormy, his voice low and furious.

"Angelica, tell me what happened. Who did this to you?"

Angelica gave a faint smile.

So what if Victoria left Selina a fortune and a noble identity?

Even now, Selina’s biological father was still only doting on her—Angelica.

Playing up her weakness, Angelica said softly, "Dad, don’t blame Selina... I owed her this..."

"Selina?!" That name again.

"She said she wanted to talk alone, so I dismissed the bodyguards. I didn’t expect... sob... she said everything was my fault, said I’m shameless... said I deserved this..."

"That little bitch!" Joe growled, rage cl1ouding his judgment. He didn’t even stop to question the inconsistencies.

"I’ll bring her here to apologize to you!"

"No, Dad..." Angelica choked on her tears. "Selina has Logan protecting her. Even if you go, what can you do..."

"Then I’ll go straight to the Reid Family!"

Joe was livid. "They’ve gone too far. I’ll get you justice. Logan and Selina are out of line!"

Angelica smiled smugly.

...

Joe barged into the Reid estate.

Grandpa Reid was stunned. "Joe? What on earth—?"

"Mr. Reid, our families have ties. Selina is your granddaughter-in-law. Can you not get her under control?" frёewebηovel.cѳm

Grandpa Reid frowned. "Joe, calm down. I don’t even recognize Selina’s status—"

"You don’t, but Logan does! I admit Angelica was wrong to fake her pregnancy, but Selina already punished her. What more do you want?"

"Now Angelica’s got a fractured wrist because of her. Reid Family needs to give us an explanation!"

After Joe stormed off, Grandpa Reid angrily smashed a vase.

"Selina—again?!"

The butler rushed over. "Sir, what are your orders?"

"That girl’s ruined too many of our plans. We can’t let her keep doing this. And the Morris Family isn’t someone we can afford to offend. If we have to sacrifice Selina, so be it. She’s not worth much."

"Send someone to grab her. Break her hand, too."

"But sir, what if Young Master Logan finds out..."

"Let him! You think he’s really going to go against his own grandfather over some woman?"

...

Selina walked away, still full of suspicion. What exactly was Angelica up to? She’d just seen Joe...

Hmm? What’s that smell?

A strange scent suddenly hit Selina’s nose, and she instantly became alert.
