Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 481

Chapter 481: Understood the Intention

"Miss Carter, you might not know this, but my brothers absolutely adore me."

Selina froze mid-step. "...?"

Was the imposter... bragging?

She honestly couldn’t wrap her head around this woman’s thought process. Selina stood there in silence for a full ten seconds before asking, "So?"

The imposter hadn’t understood earlier why Aiden and Gavin had looked so cold, but now she thought she did.

In Aiden’s eyes, this "Sophia" walked in the door already bristling, every word sharp-edged and aggressive.

So of course Aiden and Gavin had called Sophia out to the back garden — they were definitely going to stand up for their "little sister."

The imposter was practically glowing inside.

Would they warn Selina? Order her to leave City A? Or maybe teach her a harsher lesson outright?

Either way, Selina would end up crying and screaming that she was the real Selina.

But Aiden and Gavin wouldn’t believe her.

And when Selina saw her doting brothers siding with the imposter to scold her... what would she feel then?

She’d be crushed.

The imposter grew more delighted the more she imagined it, her excitement bubbling until she couldn’t stop the corners of her mouth from curling upward.

Logan, watching all of this, simply took a slow sip of tea, his expression flat.

Fine. Let the imposter enjoy herself for a few more days.

...

The back garden.

By the time Selina arrived, Aiden was already waiting.

Gavin looked between the two of them, his expression tangled, conflicted. Finally, he blurted out, "I think..."

"Selina, sit." Aiden’s voice cut in, cool and steady — and dropped a bombshell.

Gavin’s eyes went wide, his words stumbling. "Second brother, y-you... you recognized—"

Aiden turned to Gavin, mildly surprised. "Hm? You recognized her too?"

Gavin blinked at him, thrown off. Why did that sound so surprising?

Then Aiden nodded, almost approvingly. "I thought your brain wouldn’t catch on. Looks like I underestimated you. You didn’t let me down."

Gavin: "...?"

What do you mean, you thought my brain wouldn’t catch on?

Do you really think I couldn’t tell whether my own sister is real or not?!

Selina stared between them, her face shifting from serious to startled to utterly incredulous.

She walked over, sat down in front of them, and asked, "When did you two figure it out?"

Gavin wanted to say it was when the imposter spoke — the tone was all wrong.

But then Aiden said calmly, "The moment she walked in."

Gavin fell silent.

Selina propped her chin on her hand and blinked at them, surprised. "You figured out she was an imposter the second she walked in?"

Aiden nodded. "Once I knew she was fake, your identity was obvious."

Then he went straight to the point. "You called me here just to expose the imposter? If that’s the case, why stop me from speaking up earlier?"

Selina shook her head. "I brought you here for three reasons.

First, so you’d know the current ’Selina’ is an imposter.

Second, to tell you who I really am now — and you need to come up with a reason to take me out of the Carter Family.

And third..."

Her brows furrowed, her confusion clear. "I want to ask you, second brother — do you have any memory of this imposter? Who is she? Who would go so far as to replace me?"

Aiden’s eyes darkened.

"In a bit, I’ll have my assistant contact the Carter Family," he said. "I’ll use my mother’s name to invite you to stay at the Foster Family for a while. But Selina — why don’t you just expose her outright?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Selina shook her head. "Because I still don’t know who the imposter really is."

And she still needed the upcoming shareholders’ meeting to wipe out Owen’s faction in one strike.
