Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 405

Chapter 405: So This Was the Real Reason for the Invite

The room fell into dead silence again. No one spoke.

Two minutes later, someone finally couldn’t hold back a laugh.

Seriously—bragging about a 300 million yuan watch, only to end up with one that cost 30 million? What’s there to brag about?

Grandma Morris’s face turned a deep shade of gray. "It’s not about the price, it’s the thought that counts. This shows how much the Morris Family loves their daughter..."

"Giving a 30 million watch is supposed to mean love?"

Mrs. Brown looked genuinely confused before concluding, dead serious, "Grandma Morris, no need to explain. I get it now—sounds like the Morris Family is just plain cheap."

Grandma Morris nearly choked on her own breath.

Mrs. Brown continued, "Oh right, you mentioned the Starlit Galaxy earlier. That name sounded really familiar... Damien, doesn’t it ring a bell?"

Everyone immediately had a guess.

Sure enough, Damien smiled casually. "Of course it sounds familiar, Mom. I bought that watch."

The whole room gasped.

Grandma Morris had said the 300 million watch was bought by a wealthy young man from City N... and the Browns are from City N!

Her face turned even darker, while Joe looked utterly humiliated. It felt like the Morris Family had just been publicly crushed by the Browns.

So Damien was the one who bought the Starlit Galaxy... but so what? The Morris Family had intended to give it as a gift—wasn’t that different?

Mrs. Brown played along, "Why’d you want to buy that watch? And you outbid Morris Chairman, no wonder he had to settle for a 30 million one."

Logan chuckled quietly and gave Selina a knowing look.

So this was where Mrs. Reid got her savage tongue from. It all made sense now.

Damien nodded and smiled faintly. "You forgot, Mom—Selina mentioned she needed a watch. I’d just made three hundred million on a film investment, so I bought it."

Mrs. Brown nodded in realization. "Ah, right! You’ve given Selina so many gifts, I can’t keep track of them all."

Damien replied calmly, "Though Selina didn’t really like that one. She only wore it twice and put it away. That’s probably why Grandma Morris didn’t see it and thought Selina had nothing nice—so she showed off a 30 million watch like it was something special."

Then he looked over at Joe and added, "Sorry, Chairman Morris. I beat you to it. Hope you’re not too disappointed."

Joe and Grandma Morris’s faces turned an awful shade of red.

Did the Brown Family really have to slap them in the face this hard?

Someone in the crowd muttered, "Didn’t even buy the watch, and they were already acting all sentimental, going on about how much they love their daughter—then the watch turns out to already be on Selina’s wrist."

Another person chimed in, "Talking about how they missed their chance at the auction? Please. Even if he didn’t get the three hundred million one, dropping straight down to thirty million? Let’s be real—he never intended to spend more. That was his limit."

"And honestly, it seems like the Brown Family truly treats Selina well. From what Mrs. Brown said, they’ve gifted her so much that a three hundred million watch isn’t even memorable."

Mrs. Brown waved a hand. "Exactly. Selina’s already got more than enough. She doesn’t need anything from Chairman Morris. If he wants to spoil Angelica or Sandy, that’s his business. Has nothing to do with Selina."

Joe tried to explain, flustered. "Selina, that’s not what I meant. I love you the most—"

"That’s enough, Joe." Mrs. Brown finally lost her patience.

"Look at what you’ve done. Listen to what you’re saying. Don’t you feel ashamed?"

"You say you love Selina the most, yet you let some girl from a side branch walk all over her, gave her gift to someone else, mocked her for not deserving a seat at the main table, and expected her to bow down and play nice? Ha! That’s your idea of love? Please—Selina can’t afford that kind of ’affection.’"

"N–No..." Joe was so flustered he couldn’t even form a sentence. His throat felt like it was stuck.

It had to be because of Selina! free𝑤ebnovel.com
