Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 467

Chapter 467: Who Will He Defend?

The room fell silent.

Everyone was waiting for Logan to speak.

They seemed convinced that Selina was the other woman, a homewrecker trying to steal Mr. Reid.

And the imposter—who was nothing—stood on a moral high ground, using that stolen face to push the real Mrs. Reid into the dirt.

One second.

Two seconds.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Logan’s eyes were locked on Selina’s. He didn’t say a word for two full minutes.

The imposter began to panic. She swallowed hard, sensing something was off. With a pitiful little cry, she clung to his arm, "Logan, say something..."

"I’d like to know, too. What will Mr. Reid say?"

A new voice cut through the tension. Everyone turned—

It was Jacob.

No one had noticed him standing just behind "Sophia." With a slight smile, he stepped forward. "Logan, ’Mrs. Reid’ is waiting for you to speak. Why so quiet?"

Joe’s face eased a bit when he saw Jacob wasn’t defending Sophia. "My daughter was humiliated. We’re not letting this slide, Mr. Reid. Either you promise never to see Miss Carter again—or you have Miss Carter apologize."

"Selina," Jacob suddenly leaned down and whispered in her ear, just loud enough for the two of them to hear.

"No one recognizes you. Joe—the father who claimed to love and protect you—looked right at you and didn’t even hesitate. Not a flicker of doubt."

"He accepted that fake like it was nothing. And now? He’s demanding you apologize to a fraud. Hurts, doesn’t it?"

Selina narrowed her eyes. "And who do I have to thank for all this?"

Jacob smiled innocently. "I’m just helping you see the truth about the people around you."

"Why don’t you guess—what will Logan do?"

"Will he stand by the imposter, or will he stand by you?"

"Oh... right now, we still don’t know if Logan recognized you. Your face is nothing like it used to be. Even if he senses something... he might not be sure."

"So tell me—what’s he going to do? Defend a woman he’s not sure about, or protect the public image of ’Mrs. Reid’ and maintain his own spotless reputation?"

Selina’s hands clenched into tight fists.

She didn’t want to see this. She didn’t want to hear it.

She could admit it now—she was scared.

Scared Logan would defend someone else. Even if that someone else was just wearing her name.

Jacob’s voice was like poison, soft and cutting. "Think positively—maybe Logan’s just stuck. If he sides with you in front of all these people, it confirms the rumors of an affair. He’d drag you down with him."

"Such a shame. You’re legally married, yet this is what it’s come to."

"Selina, let it go."

She turned away, refusing to listen to him any longer.

But Jacob wasn’t the only one thinking this way. Everyone there believed Logan would stand by the woman they thought was his wife.

Logan’s fingers tapped once, twice, then stilled. He slowly looked up.

Everyone knew—he was about to speak. The whole room went quiet.

The imposter’s smile returned.

Selina lowered her eyes. Ice crawled up her spine. Her whole body felt cold.

Jacob’s trap was working.

He was showing her exactly what it looked like when Logan had "another Selina" at his side.
