Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 381

Chapter 381: I’m the Savior

"So, what exactly?"

Grandpa Reid suddenly realized—all the men who captured and attacked Selina were his bodyguards, but he had never ordered her death! It was Joe acting on his own—and now he was being used as the scapegoat.

It wouldn’t have been a problem if Selina were really dead. But she wasn’t—she was alive. She was living proof.

If this blew up, and word got out that the patriarch of the Reid Family tried to murder his own granddaughter-in-law... how was he supposed to show his face again?

So, in that case...

Selina curled her lips into a cool smile. "Old Master, if it’s not something you did yourself, you really shouldn’t take the fall for others. Don’t you agree?"

Joe panicked. "Old Master! The two families—"

Logan cut in calmly, "Grandpa, this is the account of that trusted bodyguard of yours. Over the past fifteen years, Katie has been wiring money to him—over ten million in total."

"Before Katie was arrested, she had several phone calls with him, instructing him to ’take care of’ Angelica. I’ve already investigated—he’s one of Katie’s secret lovers."

"During the time Selina was locked in that warehouse, that same bodyguard received a call—from Angelica."

Logan’s smile was icy. "Grandpa, you really should thank Selina. If she hadn’t suspected something was off with the bodyguard, you might never have found out that your most trusted man had already been bought off by Angelica."

Grandpa Reid’s lips trembled. He could hardly believe it.

Angelica... bribed his bodyguard? Hired someone to kill—and tried to pin it on him?

"Oh, and Angelica," Logan added suddenly, casually playing with a phone in his hand.

"Even though that bodyguard works for you now, you all should know—Reid Family bodyguard phones come with full GPS tracking and automatic call recording. That means I know where he went, what he did, and who he spoke to."

Logan let the phone spin once in his palm. "Grandpa, would you be interested in listening to one of those calls?"

Grandpa Reid’s lips trembled again. He wanted to say no—he didn’t want to be humiliated in front of a crowd.

But clearly, Logan didn’t care anymore. Not when it came to Selina.

Angelica lunged forward in panic, trying desperately to stop him—but it was too late.

The phone call recording played. In the video, the bodyguard stood inside a rundown warehouse, a woman’s body—Selina—lying motionless nearby.

A female voice came through the speaker. Everyone froze.

It was Angelica.

—"Figure out a way to kill Selina. Make it painful. I’ve already faked the will. Once it’s done, you’ll be rewarded."

—"Angelica, I don’t want a reward. I promised your mom I’d help you. But what if Selina dies and Logan suspects you?"

—A cold laugh. "You’re Grandpa Reid’s bodyguard. If Selina dies at your hands, shouldn’t Logan suspect Grandpa Reid? Relax—with a scapegoat like that standing in front of me, what could possibly go wrong?"

Grandpa Reid nearly collapsed from shock.

He had actually been about to take the blame for Joe—never imagining that Morris Group had been plotting behind his back like this.

The other guests were visibly chilled. Even the livestream audience began commenting whether the police should be called.

This was attempted murder. Selina survived, sure—but what if she hadn’t?

"Grandpa Reid, no! That’s not true! It’s not like that!" Angelica collapsed to the floor, sobbing, shaking her head frantically. "I didn’t do it—I didn’t try to kill her..." freeweɓnovel~cѳm
