Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 491

Chapter 491: The War of Public Opinion

Three-year-old events were dragged back into the light, and a case that was already settled suddenly churned up new waves.

Was Logan the one who really caused the deaths of those two workers three years ago?

Was HZ Group merely a scapegoat Logan pushed forward to take the fall?

Was it Logan’s impatience, his demand that the two workers climb the scaffolding before it was properly secured, that caused their fatal plunge?

Behind the scenes, the Reid Family and the Perry Family kept bribing PR accounts to fuel the fire. Before long, the internet was roaring, and nearly everyone had that headline pushed to their feed.

Beneath the news article, there was even a live-stream link.

Curious users clicked—and were immediately taken to the live footage of Reid Group’s shareholders’ meeting.

[Taking lives can’t be forgiven! I used to think Logan was different from the usual rich scum, but turns out he’s just as disgusting—he’ll do anything for money, human life means nothing to him!]

[Even Selina stood up to expose him—how could this be fake? If even the woman sleeping beside him can’t stand it anymore, how rotten must he be?]

[This is just what’s been uncovered. There must be more we don’t know. How many lives has Logan already taken? He deserves prison—him still wanting to be Reid Group’s chairman is beyond shameless!]

Some of the comments came from genuinely angry, disillusioned people—but many were from bots hired by the Reid Family.

And as the outrage reached a fever pitch, those bots followed Amelia’s instructions and planted the idea:

[Doesn’t the Reid Family have a legitimate son? I think Owen should take over.] 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

[Exactly. At least Owen’s name hasn’t been dragged through scandal after scandal. Logan has blood on his hands, Luke’s just a spoiled playboy—only Owen fits the role.]

[What you don’t know is, Owen was supposed to become chairman. But Logan bribed the other board members. Poor Owen—an honest worker shoved aside by Logan’s scheming...]

Selina stared at these comments, her lips pressed into a thin line.

Aiden, beside her, exhaled softly.

"Selina, I never wanted you tangled up in this. You help Logan, Amelia will resent you, and it’ll get messy."

Selina’s tone was flat.

"Even if I don’t show up today, Amelia will resent me anyway."

"You’ve decided?"

Selina nodded.

"I’ve decided."

Aiden didn’t argue further—he only said quietly, "I’ll take you there. The meeting room’s just ahead."

...

Inside the meeting room.

The imposter’s words left the room in an abrupt, heavy silence.

Logan’s lips curved into a humorless smile.

"No evidence? Mrs. Reid, haven’t you heard the saying—the one who makes the claim brings the proof? You’ve pinned a killing on me without offering a shred of proof. That’s... not acceptable."

Board Member Cole spoke up as well, his voice cool.

"Mrs. Reid, do you have any recording from the time? Otherwise, with just your word alone, it’s hard for us to believe."

The imposter hadn’t expected this—hadn’t expected that even now, even here, these people would trust Logan over her.

She was Selina, damn it! Were they blind?!

Amelia jumped in quickly, "Selina was terrified back then—how could she have thought to record it? She must have replayed it in her head, got more and more frightened, until she finally decided to report Logan!"

Owen chimed in with that saccharine faux-sincerity of his: "That’s right. Big brother, you insist on recordings—but who records every moment of their daily life? Who? Only people with dark hearts would think to record private conversations between husband and wife for... future use."

He tilted his head slightly, feigning innocence, his words a deliberate barb:
