Angelica fell awkwardly to the ground, eyes reddening. "Logan, you actually hit me for Selina? I love you so much! Why are you even worried about her? Everything I did was for us! I love you—you should love me!"
Selina turned and met Logan’s reddened eyes. She froze.
Logan had always been composed and cold. Even when suffering from unbearable poison attacks, his gaze remained controlled and distant.
In this man’s dictionary, the word "cry" simply didn’t exist.
But now, his eyes were red, silently watching Selina with an expression she couldn’t decipher.
Selina looked away and questioned Angelica.
"You’re ridiculous. Just because you like Logan, he must love you back? Plenty of people like him. Should he love every single one?"
Angelica’s face twisted with rage. "Logan, how could you compare me to those sluts? I’m the Morris Family’s eldest daughter—I was born superior! Do you think I didn’t know the risks of pretending to be your savior? Yet I did it anyway, for you! And now you team up with this slut to expose me..."
Logan felt disgusted just looking at her.
Everyone else held their breath, afraid to make a sound.
Angelica’s face turned pale. "Even if I killed someone... it’s because I love you too much! Selina wants to destroy me now—shouldn’t you take responsibility for me? Logan, Logan!"
Selina sneered, "Typical ’Miss Morris,’ you and Chairman Morris share the same twisted logic. By your reasoning, Angelica, am I entitled to kill you too?"
"Ah!" Angelica trembled in terror. "Logan, did you hear that? Selina wants to kill me! She’s evil—I always knew she was rotten from birth. She wants to kill me!"
Angelica genuinely believed she had done nothing wrong. She’d taken everything from Selina—leaving Selina nothing. Shouldn’t Selina just accept her fate and die?
Yet, Selina dared to resist! Wasn’t prey supposed to lie still and wait for death? Who allowed her to fight back? Anyone who resisted deserved to die!
Angelica’s biggest mistake was not killing Selina four years ago!
Had she done that, she’d already be Mrs. Reid, and this secret would never have surfaced.
She should have killed Selina! Ah, she deeply regretted it!
"You’re hopeless," Logan said, eyes devoid of warmth. "Jack, bring the police in."
Now began the ruin of Angelica’s life.
"No, no... Daddy, save me!"
At that moment, Angelica broke free and knelt at Joe’s feet.
"Daddy, please save me! I don’t want to go to jail! Selina has pushed me to the brink—please!"
Selina laughed coldly.
Everyone else grew silent.
Those who’d speculated earlier that the Morris family would shield Angelica now shook their heads.
The incident was dramatic, but aside from public humiliation, Angelica probably wouldn’t face real punishment. The Morris Family’s power ran too deep. Logan might cause trouble, but Grandpa Reid wouldn’t let him risk severe fallout with the Morris Family over a woman.
Joe opened his mouth several times but couldn’t speak.
